Certain faint, shuddering recollections OF

the world that atmospheric heat is derived
from the sun. This, OF course, will be news

sltion that my tutor In astronomy was a
conscientious man and did his best TO tell
me the truth. am led to believe that the

the matter OF spring and summer heat.

appears from an examination OF the clint

upon tire subject than any other man In
the United states, only few days before
ms death, referring to the methods ano
forms adopted in Pennsylvania, wrote as
follows:-"I shall refer inquiries to the
Pennsylvania Department of Health foI
the most complete and up to date equip
ment for carrying out registration laws
The essential features of the registration
law as enacted in Pennsylvania provide
that no dead human body shall be removed
from the registration district IN which
death occurred, inferred, cremated or
otherwise disposed of until a satisfactory
certificate OF death, signed either by the
attending physician or Coroner, shall
have been filed with the local registrar of
vital statistics OF such district and a
burial or removal permit granted by that
official.
These original certificates OF death after
being received, dated and registered by the
local registrars are at the end of each
month forwarded to the Central Bureau of
Vital Statistics in the State Capitol where
they are scrutiniZed, indeXed, tabulated
and bound for future permanent reference.
These certificates form a basis of an ana
'lytical study of the causes of deaths, of the
principal ages at which death occurs OF
the occupations, sex, locality and nativity
which contribute to excessive death rates.
More than that, they furnish an oppor-
unity for future generations to secure an
accurate record of the personal and stats
