through drink and not all Of these
belong to the underworld. A short
time ago a man came to the bureau
pretty much the worse for drink.
While intoxicated he had left his wife
and home at Kansas City, and when
he came to himself he was in Buffalo.
He continued to drink, pursuing his
way to Philadelphia. He had pawned
his $50 overcoat, his suitcase, even his
gold cuff buttons and studs. He came
to us with Is cents in his pocket
enough, he said, to buy poison with
which to end his life. He was in such
a condition that, If he had had a job
he could not have worked. We talked
the matter over and decided to send
the man back to Kansas City. We
later heard from him; he had given
I'D drink. and life was hopeful to him.
One day a tall, powerful, well-dress
ed man walked into the office. He said
he had determined to commit suicide,

During times Of business depression,
such as lately affected some parts of
this country, the number Of unemployed
is suddenly increased. Conditions at
this time have given better opportunity
to study unemployed labor than Is pos
sible in good times, when troubles are
concealed, or in really bad times, which
distract and confuse. One fault in the
social structure stood out clear. In
New York City a large charitable So
cfety had temporarily to close some of
its departments, owing largely to In
creased demands made upon it by men
out of work. Many Of the men were
not New Workers, but were from small
Ter towns. Although they had not been
long idle,-most mills that shut down
reopened soon,-they sought the big
city. hoping to find d job where 80
much was going on" 1t is discourage
ing. but instructive, to see that these
men had gone exactly in the wrong d.
rectiOn to find new places In normal
times most cities are overloaded, while
thinly settled sections need labor. AL
though farm work Is not at it's height
in winter New York farmer wrote in
December to one of the metropolitan
papers, saying that he and several of
his neighbors needed able-bodied men.
A city is at saturation point or beyond
it in the matter Of laboring population.
The nation, as a whole, has not men
enough. Any one can prove this by his
| experience If he tries to hire help in a
small country town. With only quar-
ter the population that it can support,
| America yet has the second city in the
world. The disproportion is tolerable
in good times. A slight disturbance
shows it to be an essential social fault,
There is more need than ever of agen-
cies to distribute American workmen
and to send more Of them back to the
| land. Even In times of utmost prosper
| ity a huddled society cannot make best
use of its hands, and the budding mill
| tates against the prosperity Of coun-
! try with miles of workable land lying
| idle

The classified heading Suicides Of
4 Day has taken its place among the
devices by which the modern newspa
per condenses Information In order to
get all the news within the compass
of its crowded pages. During the year
1907 there were nearly 1900 cases of
suicide reported IN the press. The
average per day was just about thir-
ty. That appalling record marked
small advance over 1906, when there
were more than 10000 instances of
self-destruction similarly reported.
Suicide has ceased to be an exceptional
thing. 1t has gained an alarming hold
npou Il restless race. In 1907 the num-
Der exceeded that which included all
the homicides. lynchings, hunting ac-
cidents and sporting or holiday casual
ties of the twelve months. The loss
from mining accidents might be added
to this list and still the record of sui
eide would take precedence. One-fifth
of the deaths of self act were charged
against domestic infelicity.' Such Il
category calls attention to another

a capacity of more than twenty thous-

shown that the yellow n green col

are due TO coloring matter derived from
the food and passed through the blood
of the spinners. BY impregnating the
leaves with artificial colors the ex-

caterpillars to produce silk of bright

the aid of the spe%ctroscope the presence
and nature OF colored pigments in the
blood Of the little animals were estab-
