MURDER PROFITABLE.
Ten Dollars a Day Offered for Ex-
Terminating the Rich.

Pittsburg, Sept. 24.-Intense excite
ment was caused here this afternoon
when an anarchistic notice was
found posted on the high board
fence which surrounds the old ca
thedral property.
The property is also opposite the
Frick building. 1t was written on a
typewriter and was perfect as to
spelling and punctuation. It was as
follows:
Anarchists, Notice-Murder the
rich and burn their homes"

pie of this city been trampled on by

long.
I'VE want agents to murder the

and within ten minutes Fifth avenue
was completely blocked, and even
street car traffic was stopped. The
police department was notified and
score of policemen and plain
clothesmen were sent to the scene.
At first the police treated the mat
ter as joke, but later, when they
noticed several suspicious persons at
the corne rof Fifth avenue and Wood
street they arrested them. About a
dozen arrests have been made of
suspicious persons. Tonight the
entire detective force Of the city is

 At one pit nearby tree affords a lodging place for those who enjoy the novelty of fishing from a tree. One man has erected tall scaffolding, from which vantage point he casts his line.
 Black bass thrive better in these pits than any other fish. They grow to enormous size, and the coldness and purity of the water give them not only a gaminess but solidity of flesh which they do not acquire in the fin. est bass streams in the state.

 These fish multiplied with amazing rapidity. Several years later fish erman on his way home from a trout stream happened to pass this particu- lar pit Merely as a joke he baited his hooks with worms and made a cast. He had scarcely done so when his reel commenced to sing and to his great amazement he pulled out two enormous sunfish Inside of half an hour he had filled his creel.
 He made quiet investigation and readily obtained permission from the owners of the pits to experiment in fish culture. He commenced to plant black bass and yellow perch He went about it secretly and the owners, who did not want to be annoyed by appli- cants for fishing privileges, also kept quiet To-day those pits fairly teem with fisb.

SURVIVAL OF MAN

By Charles E. Woodruff, NJ D
 So much popular attention has been given to the diminishing birth rate in civilized races that it is astounding there has been so little said as to it's zeal significance as a natural law which has been operative in ali species of plant or animal. man included, whenever the conditions of existence demanded it. In the struggle for ex- istence there are thousands of factors determining survival, and the number of offspring from one pair of parents
 is strictly regulated by these factors In the long run a species must re- main stationary numerically or dimin- ish, for it cannot increase to over run the earth. Hence the death rate is exactly equal to the birth rate as a rule, and there is a death for every birth It may be stated in other terms. No matter how many offspring there are, nor how long the parents live, nor how often they produce, all the off spring perish except two on an av- craze, and these two take the place of

the number of the worlds people at that distant time can be had. From the figures given of the armies of the ancients fair estimate of their popu- lations may be made, and it shows that numerically the old peoples were weak. War in those times was so regularly recognized as a part of life that at least one-tenth of the male population was regularly in service. Consequently, when we read of a con quering army, such as AleXanders, set ting out with 30000 foot and 5000 horses, those figures probably repre- sent the full extent of the national re- sources
 From figures such as these it would appear that the Persian empire in it's heyday did not contain so large a pop ulation as Pennsylvania does today; Egypt under the PharaohS. probably had smaller population than New York city. and many of the beautiful ancient cities which industrious arch eologists are daily bringing to light had fewer inhabitants than many third-class post office towns in the United States to-day. When Columbus discovered America there were not from indications observed, a million inhabitants in the entire western hemisphere.
 The greatest increase in the worlds population was observable during the nineteenth century, which, with it's scientific spirit and remarkable in yentions. spread the benefits of hy giene and sanitation. Yet wars and railway accidents surpassed the ray ages of any hundred plaques known to history In the United States alone, during the last ten years, there has been an average of 1000 persons killed and 65,000 injured year. The Ma poleonic wars depopulated France and the civil war in the United States and the recent Russo-Japanese war far surpassed in extent the casualties of the greatest conflicts of antiquity.

been populariy held. At the time of the exodus 1t is doubtful if the then narrowly prescribed world contained more than 15,000,000 of people. Prof. Flinders Petrie, the eminent Egyptolo- gist, in recent work, has called at tention to what he considers an error in translating the original Hebrew Scriptures. He maintains that instead of 00,000 Hebrews leaving Egypt there were really about $500 His interpretation and demonstration are ingenious and need not be refuted here.

 Perhaps the most popular fishing places in the country are found in Le- high county, Pennsylvania. When the failure of Jay Cooke & Co. of New York started panic which later swept over this country, it closed every hematite ore mine in Lehigh, and caused the loss of millions of dol- lars. These abandoned ore mines, covering acres of land and ranging in \depth from 30 to 100 feet, gradually began to fill up with water, and in that condition they have remained for Eears.

number are better able to produce good ones, and if the animal must feed and protect the young, the drain is too great if many offspring are produced. There is then a selection or survival of those which are the most vigorous that is, those having the fewest off spring. In time this process results in very small birth rate. Some sea- birds, for instance, lay but one egg a year.
 These are the rules operative also in the case of man. There was time when he was struggling for existence in a far different way than he now does. He could not give much care to his children, and when they contracted diseases he simply watched them die, for he was ignorant of the ways of curing them. The infantile death rate was enormous, as it is at present in the savage races.
 The brain of primitive man in- creased in size from the survival of the most intelligent in each genera tion during this awful early struggle with a severe environment, and then civilization gradually arose by reason of this increased brain Men were able to raise children which formerly perished.
 Families Grew Smaller.
 The human race-at least in it's civ ilized branches-is gradually becom- ing confined to the lines of small fam lilies.
 The resulting types will be some what feebler than prior ones, but that
The Green Forest tribune., 1907-02-08

is an advantage also. Feeble children are now raised which invariably per ished in prior ages. Survival is the proof of being the fittest for survival. of course. If future man is to be much Trailer than present man, it will be a natural process. Present types are much different from the powerful brute of prehistory and keep them selves alive by intelligent forethought. They are filter than the stupid man of great physical strength, and are driy- ing him to the wall.
 The same journal which gives a highly sensational account of the ter another column describe the awful famines in far-away lands involving millions of people.
 The Russian peasants have huge families, in which the infantile death rate is tremendous, because they live under very unsanitary conditions which none except the most vigorous children can survive. All the weak. lings are killed off, and the survivors are those remarkable men who, when drafted into the army, are able to ac- complish such marvels of endurance. On the other hand, the English baby, no matter how frail, is saved; no mat ter how sick, it is cured and grows up. The nation is known to be far less TO- bust, as far as muscle and brute force is concerned, than it was a couple of centuries ago. It Is difficult to get soldiers strong enough to carry the gun and ammunition, while in Rus sia nearly all are able soldiers. Most Intelligent Live. Now, the English are able to sur vive simply because they have the in | telligence to avoid the causes of death. Thus in one end of Europe the most intelligent are being select ed for survival, in the other the most robust though lacking in intelligence. It is the rule which has guided our de. velopment since man was created; in- creasing intelligence selects for sur vival the more frail who are not bur dened with unnecessary bone and muscle.
 The alleged deterioration of the English nation is the normal evolution and not the disaster which sociologists are so prone to think. It is part and parcel of the high growth of Demo. cratic civilization in Great Britain, which is impossible in Russia, where there is not sufficient intelligence. The social organization of these Trailer but brainier English types is therefore wholly unsuited for the robust but stupid muiik, and the men who are trying to graft these forms upon the Russian organism are merely doing harm.
 The average family is now about four, and if they all survive it means doubling of population each genera
 ton, which in a few centuries would | not leave standing room in the United
 States. In another two or three cen
 turies, if our death losses continue tc
 diminish at present rates, the birth
 rate will drop naturally to fraction | over two children per family.
