WAS UNDOUBTEDLY INSANE
So Thought Pension Bureau Officials
of Visitor, and They Were
Right.

representative on the Democratic
side of the house enjoys nothing bet
ter than to recount Il story which, he
declares, he had from an official in
the pension bureau.
One day, so the tale runs, the bureau
was in receipt of an extraordinary
communication from the ives, in
which the writer. among other things,
made this astounding statement:
Il am now drawing pension of SIS
a month. Recently the Lord has pros
pered me; so, being convinced that
am not entitled of right to this money,
desire that my name be stricken oil
the ROLL"
AS soon as the bureau recovered in
measure from this staggering intelli-
gence, an investigation was set on
foot. The examiner in the field re-
ported as follows:
81 have the honor 10 inform you
that the person who desired that tho
name be stricken from the pension roll
is now in an insane asylum in this
place, and has been for some time"

one of the giant trees, and many at

age have been made. says London Tit

spectively $500 and 3.240 years old
Both are still dourishins. and the
older tree has trunk q feet In cir
conference. A gigantic boabab in
Central America, with trunk 29 feet
through. was thought by Humboldt to
be not less than 5.150 years old. Mex
ican botanists believe that they have
now discovered life-span even
greater than this, and from the annual
rings cypress of Chepultepec. whose
srunk is 11S feet in circumference. is
assigned an age of about $500 years.

SUGAR PRODUCTION
RAPID ADVANCE IN COLORADO
State Shows Twenty-Nine Per Cent. Of
the Production Of Beet Sugar
ir the Entire Country.

From the report recently prepared
for Congress to review the progress OF
the beet sugar industry In the United
States. 1t is to be seen that Colorado
easily forged to the first place In pro-
duction last year, attaining a lead over
all other states from which 1t viii not
be soon dislodged. With 85,S57 acres
In beets against 77,S23 acres In Mich
igan, the nearest state in point of acre
age. Colorado produced 875.154 tons of
beets, which yielded 81 ,GOS45 tons of
sugar. against 7s.s93.45 tons made in
California. the closest competitor in
point of yield.
The business as a whole required
3O7,364 acres. yielded 2.665.913 tons of
beets and 312, ,920: 60 tons of sugar last
year. With about twenty-seven per
cent. of the acreage, Colorado pro-
duced twenty nine per cent. of the
sugar.
Some interesting figures have been
drawn from the estimates made in the
report on production for the present
year. The total of the cane sugar crop
for 1906 is estimated at Cos, $50 900
pounds, while that of the beets allow
ing for the new factories that are to
be ready for the coming campaign, is
placed at Ts3.200, 900 pounds. the beet
output passing that of cane sugar in
the year. The total yield of 1.4S2 ,0S0,-
900 pounds Of sugar will be made en-
tirely from the portion of the country
lying west of the Mississippi river
and exceed by 4S,150.495 pounds the
amount of sugar consumed by the
same territory last year. leaving for
export" to the states east of the river
a quantity equal to the quantity con-
sumed in Montana, Wyoming, New
Mexico and Idaho in 1905.
These figures help to show the
growth of the sugar-makiag industry
in Importance. This will De the first
year the sugar-growing states of our
country have produced enough for
their own consumption. With this
years crop they begin to supply some
thing of the enormous demand of the
states east of the river. As the beet
fields of Colorado spread and the fac
tories multiply. this state will more
and more be sending to Eastern mar
kets a commodity for which the de-
mand is practically unlimited. Not
only are the beet growers and sugar
factories keeping at home an immense
sum of money that has been annually
flowing to the outside, but they are en-
tering upon the period when they will
be sending their product afar and
drawing back to the state millions of
money in the competition for which
the Colorado soil knows no rival

1--WE had noted character down in

in life was the employment of synon-

Post.
He was a man of little education
and had not the slightest idea of the
shades of meaning which words pos
sess. Yet by constant study Of the
dictionary he learned almost every
synonym in the English language.
"On one occasion, meeting with the
representative from his district, he
told the representative that there

and he pondered over it long time
without solving the mystery. Finally
he asked a friend what the fellow

once turned to a dictionary.
This speedily furnished the key
to the riddle. as one of the secondary

nAsHINcToN's ceATH RATE
Augmented Very Largely by the Col
ored Race, and Not Fault Of
the Climate.

1T nc high death rate of Washington
Is due 10 the large portion OF colored
Inhabitants. and not to climatic condi-
tons" said DR.. George NJ Kober re-
cently, In a stereopticon lecture on
The Health OF Washington" before
the Academy OF Science at Hubbard
Memorial Hall.
The colored race in general" he
continued, ''is so ignorant of hygiene
that many of them forfeit their lives
on this account each year. This is an
Injustice to the city, inasmuoh as 1t
makes the death rate appear exceed
ingly high in comparison with those OF
other cities. Climatic conditions have
much to do with the death rate. In
comparing the rates in Cincinnati,
Philadelphia. Springfield. ILL.,. Detroit,
Kansas City and Washington, cities IN
which climatic conditions are almost
identical, we find that the humidity OF
Detroit is the greatest. But our own
city has the highest death rate, 22.8
persons in every 1000 having died in
1900. The number of deaths from con-
sumption in this city in that year was
than that of any OF the other cities un-
der comparison. That health condi-
tions are improving in the capital city
is shown by the fact that the death
rate for 1904 was 1861 to each 1000 In
habitants. the lowest point reached in
the last 80 years. The average death
rate for this time was 22.64 to every
1000"
DR.. Kober told of former conditions
along the Potomac flats. which were
the breeding ground for mosquitoes
and malaria. The abuses practised
along the Potomac river above Wash
ington were illustrated by views show
ing the pulp mills and sewers emptying
their refuse into the stream from
which the city takes its water supply.
The condition of the river at times be-
comes so bad that even fish cannot live
in it. The filtration plant and the sys-
TEN used were explained. The plant
was begun in 1901 by congress. It cost
$3,50O,0O0 and will be maintained at
a cost of 100000 year. The reduc-
tion of deaths from typhoid fever alone
had more than paid for the cost of the
filtration plant.
