HINDoos PAID SUMS DEBTS.
Think an Eclipse Indicates 1t Ia be-
hind in Its Accounts, So Gel
citrate Rites to Assist Ii.

When the recent eclipse of the sun
occurred in India the priests in some
of the village temples had quiet tip
to be ready for it, says the New York
Journal.
'The sun god is in danger" said the
crowds gathered near Patua to watch
the eclipse. "We must help him. He
is in debt, and every one must give
money to pay his debt, or a huge mon
ster will swallow himl"
Bathing in the holy Gauges and pray
ing there to the sun would help. The
priests said the early morning would be
most eflicacious, and the people went in
immense numbers.
The eclipse began soon after noon,
and was total about two o'clock. Dur
ing totally the crowd became excited
Men were trembling from head to foot
with excitement and fear. Ram, Ram,
victory! Ram chunder. victory to
Ram! o, Ram, victory!" was the cry
all round.
Then, at the instant light reappeared,
there rose triumphant shout from
many thousands of voices of ''victory!"
Rapidly the multitudes melted awy.
They say that the money that was
given so literally to the priests helped
the sun, and thus shortened the eclipse.

AT MANILA.
How Captains of the Fleet Reported
Upon the Results of the
BATTLE.

Not the least interesting of the Incl
dents of the day was the manner in
which the commanding officers report
ed the lack of serious casualties when
they came aboard the flagship after the
first battle. Having passed through
such a hail of projectiles as made es-
cape from Il long list of killed and
wounded appear almost miraculous.
and believing it to be impossible that
all the other vessels had been similarly
fortunate, every captain seemed to feel
that the failure of his ship to catch any
of the enemy's shells in way to harm
his crew might lead the commodore to
think that his command had not been
the target for the Spaniards' fire TO the
same extent as the vessels which had
suffered loss of life. Consequently. as
each captain came over the Olympia's
side they replied to the eager query:
How many killed?' in a manner that
Indicated a very much mixed state of
mind. Mingled with satisfaction at
having lost no man was an evident de-
sire to have it. understood that the lack
of loss was no proof of an absence of
danger
"Only eight wounded" replied Capt.
Dyer, of the Baltimore-"none seri-
ously. But six shells struck us. and
two burst inboard without hurting any
one"
Not dashed onel" was the rollick-
ing way the next captain reported.
''None killed and none wounded, was
the apologize reply of the next one;
'but ] don't yet know how it happened.
| suppose you fellows were all cut up?"
MY ship wasn't hit at all was the
next report. made with a sort of defiant
air as if the speaker would like to hear
it insinuated that he had had any part
in keeping his men in safe place.
When the Boston's captain came
alongside it was feared that he for GER
tain would have a serious list of casual
ties. for it was known that his ship
had been on fire. And when he an
nounced neither killed nor wounded,
the news quickly spread through the
flagship and the men cheered vocifer-
ously-Joseph L, Stickney in Harper's

THE MOST HEALTHFUL CITY.
MnrIOn, Ia, Given This DiStinct"A
by the United states Marine
Hospital Service.

The most healthful place in the
United States to live is Marion, Ia,
according to reports received by the
marine hospital service from 1,19O CIT
les and towns having a population OF
1000 or over. There may have been
a more healthful place than Marion,
but if so no official returns were re-
ceived from it. Marion has popula-
ton of 4,102, and there were only SIX
deaths in 1900, making a death rate OF
the phenominally low figure of LAG per
1000.
The average of the death rate in all
the cities and towns was 1747
1t appears from the compilation of
the marine hospital service that the
state having the best record for health
last year was North Dakota, with
death rate of only COS per 1000 ofpop-
ulation. BY far the most healthful of
the populous states, however, was
Iowa, the death rate being 11,17.
Ohio, which made reports from
towns aggregating population of
more than 100000 shows death rate
of only 14.s4.
The notable reports of healthfulness
come from the northwest and central
western states, Minnesota, the Da-
kotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Idaho
and Montana all have exceedingly low
1eath rates. On the other hand, the
states which are widely known as
health resorts, such as Arizona, Colo
RADIO and California, have a compare
lively high mortality, probably because
many persons suffering from incur
able pulmonary troubles go there and
die.
California last year had an average
death rate of 1893; Colorado, 1929, and
Arizona, 1928. The last named state
had the highest rate of mortality of
any state or territory in the union.
New York states mortality was 1895.
The town in the United States hav-
ing the highest rate of mortality last
year was Carlyle, III. The population
was 1874, and the number of deaths,
100 making a death rate of 53.31. The
most unhealthful of the large cities
was Washington, with a death rate of
PHI. Baltimore's death rate was 21.O2:
Philadelphia, 1898; Boston, 20.S2, and
Chicago, 1469
