Tropical Races Are Shown to Be
Much Longer Lived.

Because in tropical countries more
decayed vegetable matter is found and
in consequence more miasma, the idea
has become popular that only vigorous
health and long life are likely in
northern ATTITUDES where frost now
and then asserts itself. The fact that
humanity natures much earlier in
tropical chimes seems to warrant the
conclusion that it must necessarily
perish much earlier Dr. Luigi Sam
bon of Rome attempts to put the pop
ular impression to sleep by an elab-
crate exhibition of statistics.
He doesn't contend that the warm
est climate is the most suitable to a
man, under the conditions of modern
civilization, but he demonstrates Wig
orously against the idea that a cold
and variable climate is the most con-
ducfve to the physical and intel
lectual improvement of the human
race While northern climates may
produce stalwart frames, statistics
show that they do not conduce to lon
gevity- In proof of his position the
doctor cites the fact that the average
Arab outlives the average Esquimau
by not less than Is years.

ing with boys in the garden, street, or
anywhere, as long as he could have
fun, active fun, and lots of it.
Alexis happIest moments are prob
ably spent on his fathers yacht,
where, free from danger of death at
the hands of revolutionaries, he can
romp with the loyal sailors at will.
Alexis was born at the blacklist
period of the Japanese war, when the
nation was plunged in the depths of
humiliation. the much despised Asiatic
crumpling up the armies and destroy
ing the ships of the empire that had
deemed itself invincible, the high of
f1cials of the court exposed as graft
ers who had delivered their country
into the hands of the enemy and the
people in a state of almost open re-
bellion. 1t was a gloomy time for the
car, but it was illumined by the COM
ing of the little stranger who is to
become one of the most important
personages in the world.
The car had longed for a son. but
fate had given him four daughters in
succession. The interesting event oc-
Cured not in the great Peterhof pal
ace, but in Alexandra villa, one of the
smaller palaces in the magnificent
Peterhof park. The arrival of Alexis
was announced by the booming of the
guns of the imperial yacht which was
lying in the Baltic just opposite the
palace. The faithful subjects of the
car waited to count the guns The
first 81 guns did not signify anything,
for that number are fired for girl,
but when the guns kept booming 1T
was to announce the arrival of an
heir to the throne The guns of the
fortress of SIS. Peter and Paul took up
the message and long chain of forts
carried it on, until the whole people
of Russia heard the glad news.
Alexis is a manly little fellow In ap-
pearance, and if he had had the good
fortune to be born of American par
ents he would, in all probability, have
become one of the greatest railroad
men in the world, for his tastes all
lie in that direction. He delights in
working models of all kinds and par
ticularly in that of the imperial train
which was presented to him by his
father last Christmas 1t is altogether
probable, however, that he will have to
turn his attention to the study of mill
tary matters. languages and state
ceremonials to fit him for his future
high position, for that is the routine
of all the royal children of Europe, the
dreariest. dullest routine for q child
that could be imagined

In other words, Peruna goes to the

LONGEVITY IN HOT CLIMATES

He shows that the people who live
along the unhea1thful coasts of Cen
trail and South America survive the in
habitants of the higher and cooler alti-
tudes of the interior. He shows also
that the Hindus,s who often reach
puberty as early as nine years, live
to a surprising old age The inhabi-
tants of the southern countries of
Europe are found to live much longer
than those of the more northern lati-
tude.
To illustrate, in England in q popu-
lation of $1,000. 900 there are but 146
centenarians, while in Spain, with
a population of but 5000, 900. there
are 401 centenarians. The probabfli-
ties are that the great mortality found
in southern ATTITUDES is found in the
cities, and is therefore not so much
the fault of the climate as OF an in

rushed from the room, with perfect
howl of cheers following him. 1t was
his last appearance in politics.
The term political boss images to
most people a stoutly-built man with
plug hat and large diamond, who
smokes long black cigars and rules
his ward or district with a rod of iron.
Sometimes he is represented as man
with heart bursting with sympathy
for the poor, who squeezes the rich
citizen to help out the constituents
whose votes he harvests on election
day. He is generally typif1ed as elo-
quently profane, and story-writers de-
light to set him down invariably as Of
Irish birth.
AS a matter of fact, however, there
are just as many different bosses as
there are nationalities in the large
cities, for a boss is simply a leader
for the time being. and that may be
for a few months, few years or
longer. And some of the most sue
cessful of all bosses politically
speaking, have been Americans. The
present president of the United States
is one of the most masterful of politi-
cal bosses. Who in his party dare
openly say him may" with any hope
of winning out against his rock-rooted
strength
The boss in the cities, however,
especially the typical ward sboss," is
often man who may be evolved by
either accident or design. Sometimes
a man goes into the game to help 4
friend out, or to satisfy a grudge, and
and he stays in. to finally emerge as
a full-blown leader" And some one
of the young fellows who go into poll
tics deliberately will work on for
years in the same ward, growing mp
with the people who live there, identi-
flying himself with them and their in
terests and finally winning the conf
dence of his constituents so lastingly
that they will vote almost to q man as
he wishes.
A true boss both follows and
leads. He knows what his people
want, and he does not stray far away
from their desires. If his ward has a
constituency which favors liberal in

WV makes room for another
The fluctuations in politics
are as sudden and abrupt
as the changes in the stock mar
ket, and the boss of last year
may be the plainest of plain citi-
zens the ensuing year. One thing
is morally certain, there will never
be an elimination of bosses" in
politics, because leaders are an
absolute necessity in every move
ment. and prime ministers and
presidents are as surely political
bosses as are the ward politicians
who hold their wards in the hollow of
their hands.
Some people. good people, too, have
started in to fight bosses and have
ended up by cooperating with them
and getting their aid to improve con-
ditions in certain districts. Fighting
a political boss" is an uphill job, for
1.-The respectables, so-called, are usu-
ally too busy to give any assistance.
and the boys" are all with the boss"
remember a reformer who tried to
win out on the presidency of a ward
club against the boss" He tried
two years and was defeated, but the
third term he seemed to be sure of
success Nearly every one of the
members of the club promised him
aid, and Dugan, as l will call him, had
high hopes. The night of the election.
with 1S9 members present, Dugan's
name was put before the club amid a
storm of applause. His nomination
was seconded by at least five addi-
tional speeches, each glowing eulogy
of Danny Dugan's staunch qualities
and services to the party" Dugan sat

being handed out to him. The boss 4"
candidate, Casey, was nominated in

Dugan himself was appointed one of
the tellers, and a roar of appreciation
shook the hall as the chairman an

He had a ballot showed at him with
the injunction, Make it unanimous,
Danny; hurl in a vote for your own
ticket" and he put his ballot in the
other teller's hat and sat down in the
seventh heaven of anticipation. The
counting was finished in few min
utes and Dugan smiled as he saw the
ballots all going over to one side Its
a walk-away," he whispered to the
man next to him" It's landslide"
said his neighbor. The chairman
stepped to the front of the platform

The average political boss is in

his spiritual welfare And why not?
Do business or professional men enter

is to get there as he would express

Stratford, Dec. 6.--Harry Lewis, who is quartered at Captain Bond S hotel here, did not let up a single bit in his training for his go with Willie Lewis at the Grand opera house In New Haven on December IA. Begin ming with his eight mile regular morn Ing jog and ending up with an hours gymnasium in the afternoon the rigid ity of training in week days was stolid- ly lived up to.
 The gymnasium work started at half past two. with both the welter~ weight and champion and Joe Thomas smashing the light and heavy bags, after which they used the medicine ball Then came three rounds of sparring in which the order of affairs was to give and take, Harry not tempering his welts while Thomas mixed 1t up considerably with Lewis. After the bout, both boys were given rubbing down by their trainers and the work for the day was ended.
 Harry Lewis Is down to about 14S pounds and his trainer, Jack Diamond, says that when he weighs in week from tomorrow at Fitzgerald and Ma lones cafe, he will tip the scales at about i45, During the coming week the sparring champion will be in- creased gradually and by Thursday it is hoped to have them hitting 1t off at six round clip.
 That Harry Lewis will go into the ring on the night of the fight in a
