chInese WhistlIur Pireon.

One of the most curious expressions of emotional life Is the application of whis-, ties to a flock of pigeons. These whistles
 very light. weighing but few grams are attached to the tails of young pigeons soon after their birth by means of fine copper wire. so that when the birds fly the wind blowing through the whistles sets them vibrating and thus produces an open air concert. for the instruments In and the same flock are tuned differently. On a serene day in Picking. where these in- struments are manufactured with great cIeverness and ingenuity. 1t is possible to enjoy this serial music while sitting in ones room. says the Scientific American.
 There arc two distinct types of whs- tles-those consisting of bamboo tubes placed side by side. and type based on the principle of tubes attached to a guord body or wind-cbest They are lacquered in yellow brown. red and black. to pro- tect the material from the destructive in fIuence of the T. atmosphere. The tube whistles a have either two. three five tubes Tn some specimens the five tubes are made of oxhorn instead of bamboo.
 The Suord- whistles are furnished with a monthpiece and small, apertures to the number of two. three. six. ten and even thirteen Certain among them have. be- sides a number of bamboo tubes. some on the principal mouthpiece, some arranged around it. These varieties are distinguish ed by different names, mus Whistle with one mouthpiece and ten. tubes IS called .the eleven-eyed one"
 The explanation of the practice of this ouaint custom which the Chinese offer Is not very satisfactory. According to them. tbese whistles are intended to keep the flock together and to protect the pigeons from attacks of birds of prey. There seems however, little. reason to believe that a hunrry hawk could be induced by tbis innocent music 10 keep aloof from a,.ars oF an afterthousht which came up long after the introduction of this usage through the attempt to give rational and practical interpretation of somethins that has no rational origin whatever Tor 1T is' not the pigeon that profits from thu practice. but merely the human ear ~ ~Whion SsN,s o, tbs wind blown tubes and derives .stbstio pleasure from this music.

 soon as the public .reaiisess that 1t Is de- liberately sold by it's family doctor fin whom 1t has full .confidence--to the surgeon that allows the largest graft. and that 1t is not sent sto the surgeon best equipped for taking charge of the case, the public itself will stop the practise at once land semphattcaily.i It seems Inconsistent. with American character that a spntieLt should be bartered voluntarily. AZ
 Evils, such las these, Dr. Munro thinks. are best refnedied by higher uniform standard of both general and medical education, accompanied by; . reform in the construction of hospital staffs. which he believes to be necces- sary., These staffs are at present too large ! they should be sniafier andfbet- ter. as in the German hospitals. ' In general, however. sDr. Munro believes that American surgery has aEright to be- proud of its achieYements and its advances. and he Is full of confidence for, It's future.

Too MUCH RoosEvnLT
Tn the President Wise in Jumping; into t - FrayR t>

- a Chicago Inter Ocean. aE 'as,s5 ,President Rocsevelt's second 'present: ation of the Issues of this national cam paign is open to the same criticism as his first. It Is not the demand of the hour to convince the voters that Mir. Taft wouIdl simply "a S3ee pound Roosevelt In the White House, and Sixty-first Congress will be merely a lot of imitation Roosevelts. 5sy. <,
 wether such a situation would be good for the country and the party Is another question. The Inter Ocean has definite opinions on the subject, So have MT. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft They all are irrelevant here.
 The relevant fact-the chief relevant fact-just now is, that at least a fourth of the Republicans voters do not like the idea of voting for Roosevelt proxies in both the executive. and legislative branches of the Federal government. Indeed, they turn away from such a spectacle.
 These voters do not believe that, the best interests of the country will be served by putting large Roosevelt in the White House. sending little Roose- velts to the House of Representatives, and assuring the nation, four years more of Roosevelt policies, without
 
 bean applied by Congress to the pre- sent administrations. ss
 Even if we -concede that all the rest of the, Republican voters are eager to elect Mir. Roosevelt vicariously to be both President and Congress-which iso at least open to argument-the voters constituting that fourth of the party in question have got to be cop. sidered Their Influence and votes have got to be had to give the Re- publican party the victory this fall.
 What then? Why, simply let Mir. Taft run on tis'o own merits as a Repu hlicau; let the Republican, candidates for Con gress run on their own merits as Republicans and let all stand fast on their own records in the Republican party and not on anybody else's.
 This is the only sure way to win. MT. Roosevelt's way, though we'll meant, Is simply a leap in the dark,

A Modern Wonder of the World.


 Popular Mechanics for Septemb ber
 The largest and most wonderful building In the world Is the terminal building of the Hudson and Manhattan Railway Company in New York. It Is twenty-two stories high. occupies the halves of two blocks fronting on Church Street, which is parallel with Broadway and the next street toward the river. and extends from Cortland to Fulton Streets on both sides of Dey Street which Is crossed by a bridge. It covers 75,0o0 square feet on the ground and includes 1s.150.0O0 square feet of floor space, equivalent to twenty-seven acres.
 The gigantic structure stands over A cofferdam. waterproof pit 420 by 1S0 feet in size and 75 feet deep. inclosed in concrete walls 75 feet thick. which extend down to solid rock s5 feet be- low the street level. This pit Is a rail- way station and receives the railways that run through the tunnels to Jer- sey City and bring into New York tn e trains of the Pennsylvania the Erie and the Lackawanna Railroads, the passengers from the steamship landing in Hoboken and Jersey City and the Commuters who live along 500 miles of trolley railways in northern New Jer- sey.
 IHS ITSL HUT uHuSE the SuFI6Ce con- tains the waiting rooms including a concourse of 75.0O0 square feet, where the passengers buy their tickets. check their baggage and are distributed to the different lines. Surrounding this enor- nous room is a department store where passengers and suburbanItes will be able to do their marketing and shop ping without going out of doors. There are telegraph offices. barber shops, news stands. fruit and flower booths. con fectionery shops. a Government post office, restaurants and cafes, telephone booths. bar-room, a parcel-room. cig- ar stores, offices where. railway and steamship tickets to all parts of the world can be bought and shops for the sale of the necessities of life.
 It Is the only building in the world in which space has been rented by the acre. The Erie Railway Company has taken two acres of floor space, the United States Steel Corporation has talk . en one and one-half acres. the United States Government has rented an acre for branch postofice and the Ameri- can Locomotive Company and the Gen eral Electric Company have each talk = en a half-acre.
 Nearly l25 miles of pictures rail wa tackled on the walls of the rooms, l13 miles of electric wiring was laid and 3O,0OO electric light bulbs placed on 5000 electrollers and 1000 brackets. and even these figures will be enlarg- ed.
 Aside from the regular receipts from rentals. the Company will derive an enormous revenue from special privl- leges. This advertising space in the building and cars was leased for $20O. 900 a year. the cigar privilege for S33. 500 a year. the bar privilege for $25.- 900 a year. the soda water privilege for $19.O0O and the bootblack privilege for $11 900. The building and land cost $I5.000, 900.

BODY WEIGHT AND ,vITALlrY.
Conclusions of Phystcian Who Has Studied This Question.

Studied Thts 0uestions New York Times. "
 It is better to be underweight than overweight. This Is the conclusion eof Dr. Brandreth Symonds in a. study of life insurance weights published re- gently by The Medical Record Bas- ing, his observations upon two records independently compiled. embracing 100000 weights of males shod and clad in ordinary clothing.a pr. Symonds finds that the standard weight of liz tie men fncreaseA steadily with age up to the year 45;, tos the year 40s among middle sized men, and to the year 55. or even so. for tall men. Each added inch in height, adds three per cent to the weight Women at the az of 20 are six to nine pounds lighter tha men of the sarle height atN20.F but the diff ference between. men, and wonien gradually Jiiminishes with age. The lowest death rate does not coincide with the standard weight."t this being found in the class that is aboutssfive per cent below the standard But per sons under 30 who are five to ten per cent above standard weight have also an unusually low death rate.
 At an age. above 30. however. the ratio of actual deaths to- expected deaths rises with the percentage of overweight. For example, a. group of men five feet, six inches in all. each weighing 196 pounds. which Is ten per cent too much, would have a nor tality of 172, as against loo expected deaths. On. the other hand, thirty per cent excess weight at the age of 22 would give a mortality of~S7 per cent. which Is mot much larger than that of we'll selected Ilves:.t but 30 per cent int excess at his age-begins to be dan
 gerous. lived ancestry does not reduce the excessive mortality of over weights above 80 years. while short
 lived ancestry lis bad" overweight foreigners seem to be worse 4'risks"' than overweight natives ~ e''
 Underweight persons show as great deficiency of organic diseases of the heart as the overweights show an ex- cess, and this holds true of cerebral congestions and hemorrhage. apop1exy and paralysis. Bright's disease and cirrhosis of the liver But under weights are more subject fsto pnep- monia and tuberculosis. Nevertheless the person who is slightly under
 weight, as noted above. has a better chance of living than one of average weight, and sim allsthe ages above 30
 weight falling even 20 percent below the insurance tables average does not appteciabIy increase the mortality. S '

Surgical Rights .

Surgery has made such advancesvin the last decade that not even the or dinary practising physician. much less the lay public, can keep up with them. The ordinary medical man. 1t Is as- serted by pr. John C. Munro. of Bos- ton, in a recent address before the Canadian Medical Association, is about five years behind the times in this matter, while the public Is at least a generation behind. The ordinary citizen simply does not know what he has a right to expect from the surgeon. and 1t is proper that his rights should he stated and explained. rms Dr. Munro attempts to do in the address above noticed, which lis printed in full in The Canada Lancet (September) Says the speaker:

FINE REPORT MADE BY INSURANCE
 COMPANY
ADVERTISEMENT OF SOUTHERN STATES LIFE INSURANCE CO. IN ADVERTISER SHOWS PROMPT PAYMENT OF CLAIMS.

On another page of todsys Adver- tiser will be found half-page adver- tisement of the Southern States Life In- surance Company, which Is one of Ala bama's soltdest financial institutions. and one of the leading insurance companies of the entire South.
 Especial attention is directed to the elaborate report made by s. H. Wolfe of New York. a consulting actuary an insurance auditor for the insurance de- partment of the State of Alabama. This State is one of the four in which the Southern States Life operates, and. like many other States. selects its own investigator at its own expense.
 In the choice of Mir. Wolfe an insur- ance examiner of national reputation. was selected. as he has done work of this kind for thirty States of the Union and Is at the present time under permanent contract with several of them.
 Ills report on the Southern States Life shows that he has gone thorough- ly into the books, policies and gen. eral management of the company. and 1t must be gratifying to the gentlemen who are directing the company to read in the report that its administra- ton is beyond reproach. that its death losses are paid with promptness and that It's anairs are conducted along lines of safety, conservatism and in- tegrity and with scrupIuous regard to the highest ideals of the insurance profession.
 The officers of the company are among the leading men of the South. and the directors come from a num- Der of the Southern States. where each of them stands among the leaders in his community.
 The Southern States Life is making rapid strides and has won for itself a high place.
