Physicians are much interested in the
case of Mrs. Mary Fay, who died in this
city a few days ago at the age of l0o
years. For forty years Mrs. Fay had lived
exclusively on a diet of bread and milk
and she was a remarkably we'll preserved
woman.
The only explanation that the physicians
can offer for the condition of Mrs. Fay s
body Is her mode of living. DIR. O'Han-
Ion and others who saw the body are Won
dering whether or not they have cor
roboration of the theory of Prof. Ellie Met
chnikoff of Paris. who has asserted that
man does not live out his allotted span
of life because of the cellular activities
in the digestive tract which produce old
age. He believes that by a diet of sour
or curdled milk the germs of putrefaction
which, according to his theory, produce
old age may be successfully combatted.
In support of his theory. Professor
Metchnikoff says that the Bulgarian
mountaineers who live on curds and whey
are remarkable for their longevity The
scientist declares that the ferment germs
In sour milk are deadly enemies of the

Investigations at the instance of DR.
O'Hanlon revealed the fact that the old
woman has lived for forty or fifty years
on bread and milk. She refused to eat
meat or vegetables. and generally carried
with her on her excursions about the city

WHITE RACE NOT THE CAUSE.
Says French Commodore, of Extinction
of Polynesian Races.

From the Pacific Commercial Advertiser.
Commodore Hautefeuille of the French
cruiser catinat does not share the general
belief that the inhabitants of the islands
of the Pacific ocean have diminished in
numbers altogether because of the advent
or presence of white people
In conversation with Governor Carter
yesterday morning during his official call
upon the executive, the comodore spoke
of his visits to many of the islands OF
the South Seas. In reference to the d.
minishing of the Polynesian races, the
commodore said that on each of some
islands, where the Inhabitants are steadily
diminishing, there would be but single
white man and he could not accredit the
gradual extinction of a tribe to one man,
Another thing that the commodore has
observed in his travels about the Pacific
is that the closer he came to the equator
and found islands inhabited, the people
were lighter skinned and their eyes OF
lighter color than those upon islands
further away.
Also the Inhabitants seemed to be get
ting away from the larger islands and
showing tendency to live upon the low
lying atolls.

Turns to Theosophy.

From spiritualsm Mrs. Tingley turned
to theosophy. which was then attracting
much attention. She made the acquaint-
ance of William @. Judge, who was the
boss of the theosophists. and she sue
ceeded in impressing him with her powers
as a hypnotist When he died several
fragmentary references to her were found
among his writings. She pieced them
together. and upon them based the claim
that she was the reincarnation of Nine.
! Blayatsky and had been chosen the sue
cessor of Mr.. Judge.
In the meantime Ernest T. Hargrove, a
young English barrister of good family
had been called to New York and made
president of the Philosophical society,"
whose headquarters were in Madison
avenue. Mrs Tlngley convinced many OF
the members that while Hargrove was all
right as the nominal president, she was
really the secret head of the organization,
the adept whose identity was not to be re-
yealed until one year after the death of
Mr.. Judge.
From then ON she was referred to in
theosophicar circles as 1.-The Great I'm
known" and sometimes was revealed after
she had oflciated as the yelled priestess
in the remarkable ceremony which was
performed In connection with the mar
rage of Claude Falls Wright, then secre-
tary of the Thesophical society, and Miss
Laura Leoline Leonard. After that she
took actual control of the society and its
name was changed to the Universal Broth
erhood.
The school at Point Iona was built by
money raised by the Tingley crowd all
over the country. Mrs. Tingley is the
undisputed boss of the entire institution.

LOST SIBERIAN RAILWAY.
How First Road of Northern Asia Dis
appeared.

Near Irkutsk In Central Siberia is a
series of rapids on the Angraa river. After
many disasters the river transport COM
panes decided in the early los to build
a short railroad for transshipment of
freight around the rapids. The twelve
mile road was probably the first railroad
built In Asia outside of India and GER
tainly the first one built in northern Asia.
There was no regular service, about
two trips each way being made week,
as cargo offered. With the improve
ment of the roads through this region by
the Russian government, traffic on this
part of the river was gradually aban-
doned and the railroad finally fell into
disuse. The locomotive was acquired by
farmer to be used once year to drive
a threshng machine. the cars were taken
off on barges and towed away, and the
line abandoned
Some fifteen years later, writes L. Lo-
dian in the Electrical Review, the locat-
ing engineers of the Siberian railroad, en-
tering this part of Siberia, heard rumors
of a railroad which had existed many
years previously. This is a vast region
of sierra, forest, tundra, steppe and-here

Singular Austrian Law.

From the Manchester Guardian.
A few days ago the murderer of Mr..
Reid, the Paisley man who mysteriously
disappeared from Heidelberg last July
having been arrested In Austria. was tried
at Feldkirch and was convicted and sem
fenced to twenty years Imprisonment.
The case illustrates a slngularity of the
Austrian criminal law. Generally speak
ing, a premeditated murder is punishable
by death in Austria, but in cases where
between the time of the murder and the
arrest the prisoner has been punished for
some other crime a sentence of capital
punishment cannot be PASSED upon him.
In this case the murderer had served
q weeks Imprisonment for petty theft
about January of this year, and to this
circumstance alone he is indebted for his
life.

drink. but the law is SO liberal that the
courts have ruled that a sandwich is SUI
fcient for a meal The result has been
that the Raines hotels have evaded the
law by placing property sandwiches upon
their tables. No one ever cats them;
they wouldn't dare.
The law was conceived in fraud and the
inevitable consequence of strict enforce
ment must be to encourage illicit liquor
selling. If the Raines law hotels were
closed it would only multiply the number
of blind pigs" and secret dives, as hap
pens in other large cities where SUNDAY
drinking is prohibited. AS a matter of
truth. probably a very large majority of
the mixed population of this city sympa-
thizes with llquor-sellers who disregard

difficulties for railroad construction
News of an abandoned line which had

was made for the road.
The freight sheds were finally discov-

OF the rails or the roadbed could be found
The right of way was much overgrown

just visible lighting up the topmost
branches OF the giant frs. The railroad
itself had completely disappeared. Not

suggestion now and then of what had
once been rude cross drainage bitches.

The UNPUBLISHED track through the for

traffic, naturally became a drainage con-

that the line was much overgrown lies in

but In past years she has had plenty of
notoriety. The time she was heard from
was in 1892, when she imported eleven
children from Cuba to be educated at her
Raja Yoga school.
A strong effort was made to take the
children away from her on the ground
that the school was not fit place for
them. but she won out by an appeal to
another secretary Secretary Shaw, after
the special inquiry board at Ellis Island
had decided that the youngsters should
be deported.
According to her own theory there ought
to be several obituary notices of Mrs.
Tingley on hand. for this is not by any
means her first time on earth. back in
