les. He was found by W. j. Glascoe
living at 2O7 f street, who notified The
police and had him removed to the Cas-

Stepper. who is a chauffeur, had re-
moved his clothing and made prepare
tions to retire but before going to bed he
sat down at the window to enjoy the fresf
air. 1t Is supposed he fell asleep and fel
from the window to the ground striking
against the iron rail of the porch and
rolling from there to the parking He had
probably been there some little time be-
fore his neighbor came along and found
him.
He regained consciousness after rea oh

so serious that he was not asked last
night to explain how the accident hap
pened.
Stopper fell about forty feet, it is be-

out Of shape. indicated the great force
of the impact.

Charles +. Woodruff. surgeon and major
In the United States Army
The blonde has been wagng a battle
for existence with the sunshine. and in
the opinion of DR.. Woodruff il has been
losing one.

matlon from secretary Of large life

chases her beauty in the form OF bleaca-
Ing acids lie meant only the real thing
KIND Who gel II direct from nature
Among these. he demonstrated that the
mortality was much higher and tina /
blondes were more subject to lung trouble
than brunetteS. He even suggested that
u time might come when an insurance
company would take this fact into ac-
count in fixing rates.
therefore the blonde can pause for an
instant III her pride of beauty at the
dread thought that IL may make her in
surancc rate higher.
d.. Woodruff has gone into tl,e s,,hia,t
in great detail. goodly part of his re-
searches having been made In the prisons
of the country.
The jails and penal institutions of the
land. according to DR.. Woodruff, are filled
with blondes. male and female, who have
fallen by the wayside because they can
not make Livelihood in a land to which
they are BY nature untitled
III is therefore up to the blonde 10 find
means OF survival or else to lose alto
gether in the struggle against the all
conGuering brunette type
The trouble rests mainly in the sun
shine.
There Is too much of il for the delicate
~ constituted system Of the blonde The
American sunshine is fierce and in

There are countries where il is hotter

The bitter rays of the sun have the
same effect as subjecting the victims to
a furnace. 1t b: eaks them down. it
steadily Weakens them. and puts them in
a condition where finally they are un-
suited to contend with a natural pre-
disposition to tuberculosis.
Then, discouraged and unhappy, the
blondes. especially the men, fall weak
~ into criminal habits. and the jails
are largely recruited from their ranks.
Despite the far greater number of men
in this country with black hair. il is
an astonishing fact that In jail the pro-

TIDAL WAVES OF BIRD LIFE
FEATHERED HOST sURGEs OVER
AMERICA TWICE YEARLY.

D. Langc in Atlantic Monthly.
Twice every year a wave of living birds,
almost inconceivably grand in the num-
ber of birds involved, surges over North
america. The autumn wave rolls from
the arctic tundras of Canada and Alaska
To the torrid valley of the Amazon and
The great pampas of the La Plata, only
to roll back again TO the ice-bound north
ern ocean with the northward progression
OF the sun. And almost as ceaseless
the ever-rising ever-falling swell OF the
ocean tides is this miraculous tide of beat
ing winds and pulsating little hearts. The
last stragglers of the northWard migra
ton do not reach their northern home be-
fore the early part of June, but in July
the southward-setting tide has begun
again.
The number of birds that make UP this
mighty wave almost passes comprehen-
sion Probably more than 50 per cent of
all birds making their summer home be-
tween the northern boundary of Mexico
and the Arctic ocean. that is in the United
States and Canada. help to swell the
great bird-tide that moves southwark in
autumn and northward in the spring with
the regularity of a pendulum Allowing
a little less than one migra tory bird TO
an acre. we get the enormous number of
4,320, 100000 birds whose wind-beatS fol-
low with rhythmic precision the south
ward and northward movement of the
sun. This number is too vast TO be easily
cOmprehended. SO let US bring it within
our grasp by few illustrations.
If we allow six inches. the measure of
the English sparrow of our streets. to be
the average length of migratory bird,
then this mighty host. il we could ar
range its restless. fitting members in
quiet, orderly manner. like soldiers
parade, would make a line 1000, 800 miles
long. This earth is much too small for
such a line. We might arrange our
birds in 326 lines. and each one would ex-
tend from the north pole TO the south pole
along the whole length of North and
South America. If we arranged the birds
at the equator they would circle the globe
113 times.
Not that every kind of migratory bird
travels the whole distance Of the wave;
no; some swing back and forth through a
distance of only a few hundred miles,
while others. who make up the extreme
margins of the great wave, travel twice
a year from the soggy tundras and spruce
forests of Alaska TO the waving plains OF
pampas grass in Patagonia. a distance Of
