The Size Of Chicago.

Chicago.-The Chicago directory for
1907, which has just been published,
gives figures estimating the popula-
tion OF Chicago at 2,367,000 This es-
innate is based ultimately on the
United States census Of 1900, which
give Chicago population Of 1,69S. .575.
The same rate Of directory names to
total population that was established
ut that time Is used this year. The
total number OF names In the directory
list Is tat 400. an increase
over last year Of 1900 names.
As has been the case for several
-ears, the johnson family leads with
C.b49 names, not including the Johns
ten clan, Of which there are 545. The
Smith tribe follows second, with 4.S77.
and Schmidt 1878. Anderson 10
third with 4.441, and Andersen 376.
The shortest names In the directory
are Elk and Elk. There are ten Of the
former and six Of the latter. Among
the names commonly known ~ 'jaw.
breakers" the following are samples:
zcyss and 6syssklawics.

Was a Great Teacher.

By the death of Kuno Fischer, Eu.
rope loses one of its really great
teachers of philosophy. Like Victor
Cousin, Fischer paid particular atten.
tion to the form of his lectures, which
were models of clear and sometimes
eloquent exposition. He spoke invari.
ably without notes, and could quote
from memory extended passages from
the ancient as well as from the mod.
ern philosophers. His History of
Modern Philosophy" is remarkable for
the precision Of its statements and
the justice Of its criticisms. Although
a Hegelian, Fischer never employed
the peculiar terms of the school. He
was a thoughtful critic of modern lit.
erature, and his lectures on Goethe's
Faust, on Lessing. and on certain
plays Of Shakespeare attracted large
audiences. A singular episode in his
career, relates New York Post, was
an acrimonious debate with Trendel.
enburg Of Berlin over an interpreta.
ton Of the Kantian philosophy. The
animosity produced by this dispute
was. according to some, the reason
why Fischer never went to Berlin, but
remained for more than 80 years an
ornament to the University OF Heidel.

The death in New York Of Prof. An.
gelo Heilprin deprives the world of q
noted scientist. Prof. Heilprin, who
was native Of Hungary. came to the
United States when an infant and re.
ceived his education here. rising to
special eminence as a geologist,
though his versatility was shown by
his achievements in other fields. His
explorations in various directions add.
ed greatly to the sum of human
knowledge. and the results were EN-.
bodied in numerous instructive vol.
umes. Ono Of his most notable
achievements was the ascent Of Mont
Pelee Immediately after the great and
destructive eruption of that Mar.
Unique volcano in 1902. He risked his
life in scientific investigation and
calmly took notes of the phenomena

Excessive Athletics.

Exercise Is as necessary for the
human body as food and drink. It is
impossible to maintain perfect health
without it.; but 1t must be taken in
moderation, for excess in this respect
is as harmful in it's way, and some
eating. The effect of exercise is to
increase the tissue changes in the
body. The weaker cells are destroyed
and replaced by new and stronger
cells, the nutrition is increased, and
the waste products are thrown off. II
the exercise is carried to extreme
lengths 1t may happen that the waste
products are thrown into the system
in SO great quantity that they cannot
be disposed of in the ordinary way,
and they accumulate to such an ex-
tent that the body is poisoned by Its
own waste. The result is the same Is
when an excess of food is taken; and
so, exercise, which in moderation
tends to counteract the evil of over
eating, in excess only increases the
evil. 1t has always been known that
excessive physical labor has a tenden-
cy to shorten life, and the attainment
of old age is seldom the lot of the Ia
boring man. But the fact is often
curiously overlooked that physical la.
bor is physical labor, whether it con-
sists in welding pick and shovel or
In throwing weights, rowing = boat,
running or jumping. The dangers of
inordinate devotion to athletics. says
Youths Companion, are that one part
of the body, one set of muscles or GER
tain organs, such as the heart, will be
other parts. This is especially the
case in the young, who have not yet
attained their growth. The heart Is
a patient organ, and when strain 10
put upon it it quietly increases its
bulk and its strength to meet the task.
So long as the strain is continued, 1t
works along, but when the call upon
1t is diminished suddenly, the young
man giving up his athletics and taking
to sedentary life, its muscular tissue
begins to degenerate. The arteries,
under strain, act in the same way, and
when the tension is relaxed the con.
dition known as arteriosclerosis de-
velops. The tissues are poorly nour-
ished and the man ages before his
time. When devotion to athletics has
been excessive, it is only by the
greatest care in training down that
the athlete can avoid the danger Of
weakened body and nerves.

BRICKLAYERS STRIKE TODAY.
Several Hundred Men Decide TO Go
Ont on Half Dozen Buildings.

All bricklayers who are working on jobs
that have been partially affected by the
building trades lockout and on which
nonunion men have been substituted for
union men will go out on strike to-day
and tomorrow. This action was taken
by the Bricklayers' Union last night in
regular meeting after hearing the report
Of a special investigating committee.
It will be recalled that the bricklayers
withdrew from the Building Trades Coun-
ell several weeks ago. soon after the
lockout was declared, but last nights ac-
ton means a re-entry into the cOntro-
versy, and the Building Trades men claim
that It means victory for them, and with
in a week the closed shop wll be made
effective on every building in Washington.
The buildings to be effected by this ac-
ton are those under construction by the
Speare Company. Middaugh & Shannon,
Harry Wardman, J. II. Cassidy Company,
and Richardson & Burgess. Several hun
bred men VIII be effected.
Action was postponed on the Municipal
Building yesterday pending last nights
action by the bricklayers, for the reason
that the trades do not want to strike the
work Of James L. Parsons, as they re-
gard him as their best friend, and they
hope to force a settlement before It be-
comes necessary TO stop his work.

GIRL GONE; MAY Be ROMANCE
Miss Florence Stephens Disappears
and Police Are Notified.
Mother Tells Authorities that She
Fears the Child Has EIOped with
BrightwOOd Line NIOtOrmnn.

Pretty. and with a temperament tending
materially IN the romantic direction. little
Florence Stephens, living with her par
ents at SCI Eighth street northwest, has
been missing from her home since We'd
nesday. and her mother believes that the
child has eloped with a man much older
than herself.
Mrs Stephens informed the police Of
the Eighth precinct Of the affair last
night. and requested that the authorities
assist her in locating her daughter. The
girl is but fifteen years old.
The man in the case is supposed to be
motorman on the Brghtwood avenue
street car line. He is large we'll proper
toned, and along the line is considered
quite d handsome chap. And this is espe-
ciaIly so in the case Of little Florence
Stephens There was no particular objeC-
ton on the part Of the mother against the
girl keeping company with the motorman,
but she was not in favor Of marriage, on
account Of her daughters age.
Love and romance has always played an
important part in the dreams Of the girl
during the day and the night, anJ the
idea Of common place marriage has
never been given much favorable thought
in her mind. So naturally, when little
Flo was missed the mother Immediately
suspected that she had run away with
a man.
At first Mrs. Stephens thought she
would return the first night, but the girl
did not, and yesterday the mother called
on the police and told them that she bp-
lieVed her daughter had gone away as
one Of the principals In an elopement.
Little Flo Stephens is a blond described
as being particularly attractive. has big
blue eyes, and in the neighhOrhood is
known as one Of the cutest little girls in
the community. When Florence left home
she wore q dark skirt, a white shirt
waist. and a neat black sailor hat
The railroad man has been showing the
girl marked attentions for months. That
the girl was great admirer of his is
said to be a well-kuown fact, as she has
frequently admitted It. She has spent
much OF her life reading stories in the
magazines. most of them pertaining to
love and marriage by romance, and on
this account the mother fears that her
daughter had been won by the mOtorman
and his uniform Of blue, and that the
little girl has fed with him.
