English Ethnoiogist to Go Among
BIackfoct Tribe in the North
west for Data.

Seattle, Wash.-As finishing touch
to his chronological observations Of the
Indians to be found in the northwest,
which have lasted over period of six
weeks, DR.. A. C. Haddon, reader in
ethnology in Cambridge university,
Eng, and a scientist of international
reputation, left Seattle the other day
for a months stay in Montana, where
he will conclude his study of the
American Indian.
On this expedition to the govern
ment home of the famous Blackfoot
tribe. whose physical development is
expected to furnish the professor with
plenty Of splendid data, DIR. Haddon
will be the guest of Ed S. Curtis, the
Indian photographer, who will estab-
fish the camps among the redmen.
The party includes Erice Horniman.
an Englishman, who accompanied
the scientist to this country, and sew
eral interpreters.
DR.. Haddon says the party will
leave the railroad at Midvale and ride
out within few miles of the Flat
head reservation, where the first camp
will be pitched. The expedition will
halt there for about fortnight, Dr.
Haddon pursuing his observations
while Curtis takes photographs
The professor expressed himself as
delighted with the chronological data
he gathered from the Indian family
at the mouth of the Fraser river,
among whom he spent several weeks.
He said they submitted with charming

The western division of the United
States has had tho highest divorce
rate in the last forty years. The in.
crease of divorce in the southern
states has been for more rapid than in
the northern. The average divorce
rate in the country has increased
threefold in forty years.

Percentage Of Cases to Popula-
ton Exceeds Other Countries.
Conclusions Gathered by statistician
at Cornell University Contain
Much Interesting Information
Regarding Legal Separation.

Itacha, N. Y.,-The average annual
number of divorces in the United
States IL nearly twice as great as the
average annual number of any of the
countries from which statistics are
cbtainable. except Japan and Al
geria, and 1t is more than twice as
great as all other Christian countries
combined from which the census bur-
eau has been able to get records.
These are some of the conclusions
gathered by Walter F. Wilcox, pro.
lessor Of statistics and sociology at
Cornell university. consulting statis-
tician for the department of health,
and for years connected with the sta
tistical division of the government
census bureau. Prof. Wilcox gather
ed some statistics for the Information
al Statistics institute, which met in
Paris recently. and has made them
public in his report in this country.
There is probably no country"
the professor writes, ito which the
problem of divorce and separation is
of greater Importance than the United
States. For that reason more atten-
ton has been given to divorce by the
government of the United States than
by that of any other country.
An international table accompany
ing the report shows that Japan heads
The list of divorces, with 215 per 1OO,-
900 population. If Algeria is to be
counted, her records even exceed
Japan's, being 2SS, on the same ratio
Next to these two is the United States,
with ratio of divorces to population
of one-fourth that of Algeria, one
third that of Japan and more than
twice that of Switzerland or Saxony
Franco has 90, and at the other
extreme, Mr.. Willcox's figures show,
is Ireland, with an annual average of
about one divorce to the 100000 popu-
lation.
In another table Prof. Wilcox COM
pares the divorces and separations
to the number of marriages, per
thousand, as follows: Algeria. 318;
Japan, 257; United States, 80; France,
81, with Paris itse,f, SO; Switzerland,
AZ; Austria but S, but its capital,
Vienna, 40; German empire, 20; Eng
land and Wales. 2.
In determining the probability Of
marriages ending in divorce in the
United States, Prof. Wilcox says:
ut seems fair to conclude that
between 65 and 80 out Of every 1000
marriages celebrated have ended in
q. divorce, and as the divorce rate is
rapidly increasing, probably at least
eight out of every hundred marriages
contracted will end in divorce" The
professor also finds that the marriage
rate in this country is increasing, and
the divorce rate is more than keeping
pace with it.
The average number of persons

married each year to the 10000 popu-
lation is 1SG; rate exceeded only
by western Australia among the
thirty-nine regions from which figures
were obtained. The average annual
number Of marriages to 10000 mar.
riageablc population for the last given
tive-year period was ia, rate ex-
ceeded only by Hungary, among the
twenty-three regions from which
figures were obtained.
The marriage rate in the country
is the lowest in the northern states
and highest in the southern states
the rate being twice as high in the
states where negroes live as in the
north.
The figures show, Mr.. Wilcox points
out, that the early marriages are
much more common among the
negroes and Indians than whites, but
they also show that among the white
population of both sexes early mar
riages are much more common in the
southern states than in the northern.
He also says that in the United States
married life begins in the country
districts at an earlier age than it
does in the cities. that it probably
lasts longer and that if the union is
broken it is more likely to be sue
ceeded by second marriage.
Mr.. Wilcox adds significantly: at

RAlDING EAGLE FOUND DEAD
Last Of the Golden Variety in the
Black Hills Succumbs to Old
Age in Strange Nest.

Deadwood, S. D.-When the pho.
neers entered the Black Hills So years
ago, golden eagles were as common
as English sparrows are at present,
but in the death of "Old Sentinel"
few days ago, it is believed that the
birds became extinct.
Unlike eagles OF other sections of
the country, the golden eagles were
much larger, more fierce, swifter OF
flight and of different color The
feathers of the back were almost
jet black, the wings a light brown and
the breast golden yellow, hence the
name.
In the early days of the hills the
birds were so numerous that they
were menace to the settlers. Ere.
quently they would swoop down into
ranch lots, pick up lamb or small
pig and fly away to some crag, where
they would devour the catch, or carry
it to their young. Many stories are
told of golden eagles having attacked
small children.
"Old Sentinel" had been one of the
landmarks for more than a quarter OF
century. During all of this time he
occupied the crest of one of the high.
est of the peaks of the Ragged Top
range. There, upon a shelf of rock.
i 1000 feet above the valley, "Old Sen
tinel" and his mate made their home
until about five years ago. when the
latter died.
After the death of his mate, "Old
Sentinel" made trips to the southern
and western hills, frequently being
absent for weeks. Many times he
was shot at, but he seemed to bear
a charmed life, for the bullet was
never cast that was to end his life.
Ernest N. Norman of the United
States land office at Rapid City. came
here, determined, If possible, to cap
ture the golden eagle alive. He real
lied that "Old Sentinel was the last
of his race in the hills. and that In
his capture he would get prize well
worth the effort. Going out to the
Ragged Top range with a small party
of friends he was told that "Old Sen
tinel" had not been seen in more thar
month.
| Mr.. Norman concluded that a triI
to the lofty home of the eagle wal
worth the trouble and climbed to the
top Of the mountain. There. covering
a space more than 20 feet square
were the bones of almost all kinds
Of small domestic animals, lying abou
in heaps. Not far away was the skull
of an infant, whitened and polished
by the storms Of years. Bones tina
were taken for those of the legs ant
arms were also found, indicating tina
perhaps the stories Of "Old Sentinel
and his mate carrying away children
were not wholly untrue.
