To Drive Out Anarchists.
AS if moved to action by the attempt
! on the life of Chief Shippy Of Chicago
| and by other recent acts of violence,
| the federal administration has begun
an aggressive campaign against all an
archists or advocates of violence. Sec
| rotary of Commerce and Labor Straus
ordered all commissioners and inspect
ors Of immigration to confer with the
police and detective authorities in the
various cities in order to obtain def
mite information about all alien an
archists. The order points out that any
such person who has been convicted of
crime or misdemeanor may be de-
ported within three years after land

added precautions will be taken to pre-
vent the admission of anarchists from
other countries.
TO Enforce the Nine Hour Law.
All petitions for the extension of the
time within which to comply with the
so called nine hour law limiting the
hours Of service for railroad telegra
piers were denied by the interstate
commerce commission, and the law
went into effect March 4. The commits
sion held that it had no discretion in
the matter and that it could make ex-
ceptions in particular cases after due
hearings. 1t had been intimated that
the railroads would close up thousands
Of stations in out of the way places if
the law went into effect. In all the
larger places large increases in the
force Of telegraphers were made neces-
sary.

made Of REINFORCED concrete, in

South Africa. Each weighs 5000
pounds and is fourteen feet in dame

Roosevelt to Educators. ~','t
In receiving at the White House the
delegates to the superintendent de-
partment of the National Educational
society last week President Roosevelt
gave his views on educational methods
with considerable vigor of expression.
He thought the schools should train
toward and not away from the farm
and workshop and that it should be a
matter of pride with every girl to be as
good a housewife as her mother was
before her; that while the curse of
mere drudgery might be great it was
not SO great as the curse of vapid idle
ness, whether the idleness is that of
the hobo at one end of the scale or
the gilded youth at the other.

Why More Boy Babies Die.

why WORE SOy SdOtSS SiGs
DR.. Francis Warner, senior physician
Of the London hospital, has drawn at
tention to a curious sex problem. TAX
ing the births of 1905, he showed that
81 per cent were boys, yet the death
rate Of boys was so much higher than
that of girls that of five-yesr-old chill
dren only 43 per cent were boys.
Further statistics showed that 27 per
cent of boys as compared with only %
per cent of girls died in the first year.
DR.. Warner attributed the preponder
ance of females in England despite
the more numerous birth Of boys to the
fact that much larger proportion Of
males had the same physical defect. A
minute examination of thousands Of
children showed that 9 per cent of
boys were physically defective as
compared with Z per cent Of girls, but
taking the children's medical wards,
where practically all were physically
defective, the mortality of defective,
girls was higher than that of the boys;
hence he deduced that, while the fe
male sex apparently approaches closer
to normality than the male, yet when
normalities are found equally in both
the girls have less vitality, a fact
which causes more rapid breakdown
under an added strain.
No Prehistoric Atlantis.
DR.. J. Walter Fewkes, an inyesti-
gator employed by the bureau of eth

origin of the first inha bitants of the
island Of Porto Rico, now reports his

formerly connected with South Amer.

bled Atlantis, now supposed to have
been submerged in some change in the

primitive man, mammals and plants
from the old world to the new, thus .
