PHOSPHORUS BARRED
Germany Forbids Its Use in the
Making of Matches.
BIlI Passed by the n ed ehstA8 which
Will Become Operative ~ Law
After the First of January
in 1908,

The bill forbidding the use OF white
or yellow phosphorus in match making
after January l, 1905, has been passed
by the German reichstag.
Interior Secretary Won Posadowsky-
Wchner. during the discussion of the
bill. said that TO reject the sclentlhc
proof of the ruinous effect OF phos-
phorus vapors on the human bone sys-
tenn was "to refuse to see the sun on
bright day." Phosphorus, he claimed
not only caused necrosis sometimes
three or four years after a workman
had left the match factory, but 1t was
hereditarily transmitted, so that whole
families were affected, and again
transmitted necrosis 70 their descend
ants. So subtle were the effects OF
the vapors that bones were fractured
without the person being aware OF the
fracture at first.
Herr Wurm. socialist, moved that the
law become operative January 4, 1913
The opponents of the measure souRh'
delay, expressing doubts regarding the
value of the patent process acquired 10y
the government, and offered to the
match manufacturers. and which was
tested during the reichstag recess 10y
a commission, which reported favor
ably on it.

morning as the sun grew brighter
The sun was represented by Master
Monts que Barten, a premier dancer Of
eXcep ional cleverness. who had for his
sunbeams twelve girls little larger than
the de wdrops, all attired in glittering gold
costumes that sparkled and scintiilated
with dazzling effect in the calcium light.
As the day advanced they danced about
among the sleeping flowers until they had
driven the dewdrops away and awakened

maids, awoke and spread their broa
petals to the rising sun, swaying gently
to and fro in the gentle breeze, while the
pretty little forget-me-nots came slowly
to life and joined the other flowers in glad
rejoicing. And last of all the stately
roses lifted up their heads, unfolded their

And then, oh! what sad havoc did those

vanished and in its place the storm held
wild revel.
But once again the sun asserted his su-

ABOUT THE RED MAN.
Figures Show That the Indian Popu-
Iation SIS Increasing.


Guthrie, O. T., Jan. 3.-The removal of
5000 Choctaws from Mississippi and Loui-
siana 10 the Indian Territory, which is
now in progress, need inspire no elo-
ouence about red mems wrongs and 'the
palefaces' broken treaties" The treaty
breaking was on the other side; these
members of the tribe are descended from
those who failed TO move west in 1890 as
they agreed. and they are exchanging a
precarious and hard existence for COM
parative affluence.
Our Indians do not now fare badly.
Far from dying out. they are increasing
in numbeE The census of 1880 reported
249.OO0 of them. Secretary Hitchcock's re-
cent report shows an increase TO 269.0Oc.
Allowing for Indian admixture in men
reckoned as whites, there is more Indian
blood in the country today than when
the Pilgrims landed. Then the tribes
were decimated by disease and wasted by
wars; great tracts of uninhabited forests
lay between them, and they could not
hold lands so much wider than they used
but now their descendants dwell in COM
p8ct communities. usually civilized and
prosperous.
The rise in value o. their lands has
made most of the Indians well-to do,

times as wealthy as the same number
OF average whites. And the admission
