Culture. that we are not living SO
long as our grandfathers and grand
mothers did.

.adays than formerly, but people in
later life die younger. Once arrived
at adult age the average man or wo.
man has fewer years of survival to
expect.

be accepted 1t should be backed up

Such data are furnished by the fig.

PIRACY AND MURDER.

A remarkable story of piracy and
murder IN the South Seas has been
brought to Victoria, British Column
bia, by the crew of the steamship
Mariana The captain and mate of a
Callao schooner were attacked with a
tomahawk and forced to jump over
board. Joseph Mortimer, Belgian,
J. Taylor. Of Manchester, and G.
Jackson, of London, charged with at
tacking them, stole the schooner. the
Nevure Tlgre, Of Callao. 1t is alleged,

The vessel was wrecked In the Gill
bert Islands. where 1t was found by
Captain Marshall. of the trading
schooner Laurel. who reported the
affair to the authorities at Suva.

confession, in which he said:
The schooner sailed under the
Italian flag, being owned by the mas
ter and mate, both of whom were
forced at the point of gun to jump
overheard. The schooner sailed out
Of Callao early in November last, hav-
ing on board crew of fye-the cap
tain and mate. the cook, Joseph Nor
timer; myself as cabin boy and ].
Taylor. The vessel had only got
about fourteen miles off the coast the
first day from Callao when the cook
made an attack on the mate and cap
tain. He rushed at the mate first
and struck him on the head with a
tonahawk.
The mate was felled by the blow,
but quickly recovered himself and
took to the rigging. The captain
hearing the scuffiing came out OF the
cabin and he was Immediately felled
by a blow. The cook then drew a
pistol and forced first the mate and
then the captain to jump overheard.
The mate sank, but the captain struck
out for the shore, fourteen miles dis
tant. and Jackson threw him a plank.
The cook threatened Jackson, who
agreed to assist in working the
schooner.
THE cargo was jettisoned and we

Greatest Need of the Air Shin.

According to A Mallock. before
heavier-than-air flying machines can
become popular, some method of au.
tomatically balancing them-that is.
keeping them on an even keel-must
be devised. In the few practical
machines now built the balancing has
to be done by the operator. and, while
the ability to do this could probably
be gained by most persons, If they
had opportunity for practice when
young, the great difficulty with such
schooling must always be that an ac-
cident usually puts an end to the les
sons by putting an end to the scholar.
Mr.. Mallock suggests that an auto
matte balancer might bo devised by
the use of pendulums. one with a very
long and the other a very short
period.
