Five rlillions Lives Lost

Out Of only two-fifths OF Vie
nopulation of the United States
more than half a million lives were
offered up in 1905 as sacrifice to
disease. Startling as this death
rate may seem. it was less than
for the preceding year, but was in
excess of the number OF deaths
registered for any other year. This
death rate is lower than that OF
Ireland, Germany and Italy for The
same period but higher than that
of England and Wales, Scotland
and the Netherlands.
The death rate from nephrltls
ard Bright's disease, apoplexy,
cancer, diabetes and appendicitis is
increasing. while that from old age,
bronchitis. commissions, periionitis
and scarlet fever is decreasing.
The gre attest death rate recorded
for any one disease in 1905 was
that from pulmonary tuberculosis,
amounting to SOTO, while pneu-
monia follows closely with death
rate of 30,O68, exclusive of broncho
pneumonia. The much dreaded
caEcer shows steadily growing
death ra!e, The figures being a.
$50.

ing facts brought out in a report

The New immigration Law.

The new immigration measure
will provide for very exhaustive in
vestigation of many points. Mean.
while, great efforts are going to be
made to distribute the newcomers
more thoroughly throughout the
country, and to test their fitness
for success, particularly in South
ern agriculture and industry. At
present we are receiving immi-
grants at the rate of considerably
more than million a year, one
quarter Of them coming from Italy !,
another from the races of Austria
Hungary, another quarter from
Russia, and the remaining quarter
from Germany, Scandinavia, the
British Islands, and scattered sour
ces. The situation requires the
most exhaustive study and analysis.
If these new factors that make
up the balk of our immigration
should be sifted or restricted in
some radical fashion, public opin-
ion will support Congress in legis-
|ation after the argument has been
sustained by showing of nndeni.

IS in great need of labor. and a

The Vision Of Insects.

i notable fact about the vision OF In
sects and one which 1t may be sup
posed must largely influence their view
Of the external Yarld is the number of
facets or lenses im%ompound eyes. A
German naturalist, K. Leinemann, has
been painstaking enough to COURT the
number of facets in the eyes OF no
fewer than $50 species Of beetle. He
finds that in the same species and sex
the number increases with the size OF
the body. There is usually no perma.
nent difference between the sexes as to
the number Of facets. Occasionally,
however, the difference Is marked, as
In the case of Lampyris splendidula,
In which the male has $500 and the
female 300. One species is noted which
has the extraordinary number Of $4,000
facets in its eye. The number Of facets
is greater in the rapidly moving active
forms than in the more sluggish spe-
cies.-Philadelphia Record.

BaIxac's Buttons.

Balzac wore blue dress coat with
metal buttons. A play Of his, LES
Resources de Quinola," was In re-
hearsal at the Odeon theater in Paris,
and Balzac, ever hopeful, expected an
immense success In order to appear
in gala costume on the opening night
he ordered blue dress coat lined with
satin, the buttons Of which were Of
solid eighteen carat gold. "Quinola"
was a CHASTITY failure, and for some
time after 1t left the bill Balzac was
exceedingly hard up. Whenever ready
money failed him-and ready money
failed him Often-he used to cut one OF
his buttons off and sellit to a jeweler,
and to the day of his death the coat
with the gold buttons and its sue
cessors were called by Balzac and his
friends "Les Resources de Quinola."

Asleep For Two Years

= The most remarkable case OF cat
a!epsy eyer on record at the West
ern State Hospital has recently
come into public notice BY reason
J Of the strange recovery of Mr.. Les
lie Chewing, young man from
Spottsylvania county, who has
been under treatment for over two
years. The patient has been vlr-
tually restored to life, and was re-
moved to his home Saturday, in
company with his mother, Mrs. A.
G. Chewing.
Young Chewing is about 81
years of aga, but over two years OF
that period have been to him as
though he were in a subtle exis-
tsnce-an existence altogether baf-
fling and inexplicable. He had a
cataleptic fit nearly three years
ago and was brought here for
treatment. During the entire time
he has been in a comatose state
unconscious and only semi.vital-
unable to move muscle. with the
exception of an occasional blink
ing of the eyes, bereft Of the power
of speech, yet, as it were, nncons-
ciously absorbing statements and
conversations, months afterwards
to give them forth, to further baf'
file the efforts Of the physicians to
explain or justify the strange coma
into which he had fallen. He was
fed on liquids through the nos
trils.
Three weeks ago the patient
showed signs Of reviying life and
the return Of his faculties,all which
had sunken into a relapse altogeth-
er m ysterious and unaccounta5le.
At these encouraging signs, the
mother of the young man was sum-
moned, and has since remained with
him, nursing hiM slowly back to a
conscious existence.
A peculiar feature Of the case Is
that his flesh was like wax-a limb
placed in any position would re.
main indefinitely until it would be
changed BY an attendant, Ii his
arms were placed horizontally ex-
extended they would remain so un'
til moved. The patient had abso-
Iutely no VOLUNTARY will power or
vital strength to move muscle.
While lying for months IN this
condition, tile man aoSorpeu Co."
tain portions of conversations held
in his presence, and now refers to
them with clear mind and firm re-
collection, saying that at the time
he felt a desire to talk, but feared
that if he should attempt it he
would die or experience some hor-
ribIe calamity.
He is now in good mental condi-
ton, and although emaciated and
distorted, it is thought that he will
soon recover his vitality and
strength.

The South's Growth,

The South, devastated by war;,
less than half a century ago, today
has eaase TO rejoice over the effects
of the policies OF the Republican
party. which has been in power
nearly ever since the war. Under
these policies that section of country,
Astounding in natural resources, has
not only recovered itself but has
made marvellous strides and is to-
day far beyond the industrial and
commercial point its ante-bellum
citizenship ever hoped for or dream
ed Of. and its citizens should take
pride in the fact that wise national
policies have brought 1t to such a
high state of growth. Indeed, these
policies should rightly become popu-
lar with the South and in some i'm
portant sections are now possessing
the people, with belief in them be-
coming stronger and wider every
day.
This progress of the South and its
present encouraging conditions are
revelations to many and as they are
noted are arresting the attention and
favorable comment of public men
throughout the nation.
Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, comment
ing on the review of the Manufactur-
ers' Record of the material advance
ment of the South during the past
decade, says:
at is splendid in the present, but
better still as a prophecy of the fu-
ture development of that part of the
republic which by nature, in common
with other portions of Uncle Sans
magnificent domain, has been blessed
with such marvellous resources. To
him that hath shall be given, and to
him that hath not shall be taken
that which he hath means that the
people who have the industry. integ-
rity and ability to make matter as
sumo shape useful to the human
family deserve to have and planting
their footsteps in wisdom and 'hav-
ing are reasonably sure to deserve
to hold that which they have and to
continue, under correct policies, to
further diversity their Industries and
add to that which they have"
Grover Cleveland said of the same
publication:
Il thought that / knew something
of the progress which has been made
in the South during late years, but I
confess that I had very inadequate
ideas on the subject"

Asked his idea as to what the
policy Of the Democratic party should
be for the next national campaign,
Senator Daniel, now spoken of in
connection with the Democratic
Presidetial nomination, says his
party can not afford to be radical.
From this it is TO be properly in
ferred that the Virginia senator is
still under the influence of Alton B.
Parker. for whom he campaigned to
the extent of even coming to Clarks-
burg and speaking from the jail
building. He also insists that their
are certain conservative business in
terests, helpful to the Democracy in
the past, that must not be disre-
garded in the selection of candi-
date. That appears to be a plain,
open confession that the Belmonts
are still the hope of the Democratic
party and its leading spirits.
