volcanic eruptions; 3, engineering and
construction in volcanic and seismic
lands.
Prof Jaggar advocates the policy of
establishing such perfect knowledge of
the action of volcanoes, recurrence of
earthquakes, etc, that sugar planters
could be advised whether this or that
part of a country was best suited for
investing millions of dollars by reason
of the fact that earthquakes were more
numerous in one part than another The
advance knowledge of the possibility
of volcano going into action would
be scientific advantage to a govern
ment which could provide means to pro-
tect the people of a volcanic locality
by removing them to a place of safety.
These obseTvatories would have for
their objects the study of the changes
which are going on in the crust of the
earth under them and the relations of
those changes to astronomical and
meteorological changes. The new
science, like the study of the atmos-
phere, deals with moving things and
SO requires continuous local records,
through weeks and months and years.
seismogr%phs. microphones, magnetic
graphs. promoters. thermometers, gas
collecting apparatus, and many special
instruments adapted to local needs are
among the devices with which an earth
observatory should be equipped
Justice S. n. Ballou introduced Prof.
Jaggar as a fellow Harvardian. Prof.
Jaggar at once plunged into his inter
esting theme, stereopticon slides being
thrown on screen. He showed pic
lures of the terrible catastrophe at Mar

The speaker then referred at length
to the rising of the Bogoslof group in
the Aleutians, and the peculiar project
ing of portion of a cone above the
newest island, which he saw a short
time after it rose above the surface
of the ocean. The cone of Metealf Is
land of the Bogoslof group, was almost
identical with that which appeared
above Pelee. It was like the core of
a pencil pushed up from the depths.
Prof. Jaggar gave much credit to an
American scientist, Perrett, who had
made some wonderful records of Vesu-
vius and Etna and StromboI, and re-
called some of his predictions of erup-
tions, particularly of Vesuvius and
Etna, and of the valuable aid he rem
dered to the italian government, IN
demonstrating his records as proving
that there would be, or would not be,
activity. In one ease, by his records,
he persuaded the commander OF an lfal-
ian warship that he need not remove
the residents of town near Etna-
This was last year. He predicted GER
tain activity in June, 1908, IN Strom-
bolt. He named the date, and at that
time he and his assistant were on the
mountain, taking photographs over the

ticed the beginning of changes. An
eruption followed and they fed IN time

Life prisoners seldom serve over 20
years and ten applications have re-

ing so near the child as to set it's
clothes on fire, one Of the most brutal
and defenseless murders in the history
OF that state. The responsibility now
rests with the governor to say whether
the perpetrator of this horrible crime,
committed in a drunken passion, shall
again enjoy his liberty.
The success of petitioners have been
such that the prisoners count upon lib
Grafton II they persist. An exchange
says that "the leniency with which the
crime Is treated seems to lessen the
public sense of its enormity. 1t is i'm
portant II prisoner expects clemency,
that he should behave well in confne-
ment- That seems more essential than
his behavior at large. AS an object
lesson Rhode Islands experience hard
ly encourages other states to soften its
penalty for the extreme crime"
Should Connecticut abolish the death
penalty, let us hope that this condition
will not obtain as a sequence.

There Nm getting 10 be a very deep
impression abroad that the chairman
Of the ways and means committee
does not know q luxury when he sees
II.
II h noticed that spices are elassi-
ned as Injuries in the new tariff bill,
but since they are in daily use in
every kitchen in the land, and seem to
be as much of necessity as soda or
saleratuE. the question 'Whyr' is
asked.
The mistake should not be made Of
increasing the taxes Of the working
classes to meet the extravagance of
the times for the dominant party will
be at q great disadvantage another
year should It have to defend a tariff
bill which has created dissatisfaction
among the people and created politi-
cal preJudices which cannot be over

Overtaxing the necessities of life

dangerous way.

RECENT CENSUS VOLUMES.

A report just issued by the census
department IL in two parts. the nrst
part dealing with colonial enumera-
tons of the United States prior to
1890, and the origin Of the first CEN
sus. The second part presents In de-
tail the returns Of the first census,
compared with similar figures for 1900,
and for other dates during the century
which has elapsed since the hrst CEN
Eus.
The report shows that the popula-
ton OF the United States Increased
ninoteen-fold from 1890 to 1900; and
nearly ten-fold In the area enumerat-
ed at the FIRST census. The increase
In the New England states has been
aliEhtly more than nve-fold. that Of
the Middle states hfteen-fold, and
that Of the Southern states q little
mere than six-fold.
OF tho 8,17l.ooo white persons enum-
Grated IN 1870, two millions survived
thirty years; $40, 900 survived until
1sGo-eo years; 1880 until 1850
years; and twenty-thres persons sur
vived until the census Of 1900. or for
lie ysaSs.
The average sire Of families IN 1890
was 60 persons. At tho last census It
was &c. The number OF children I'M

family wAa shown in the report to
have bean 10 I'm 1890 as compared to
IL In 1ecA Tina ratio. In 1880. Of
nearly children under 1e years Of
age to each white female l6 years old
and over has declined 70 one child in
1900. On the basis Of the proportion
shown IN 1870 there would have been
30, 500, 900 children IN continental
United States At the time Of the last
census, while tho number actually
enumerated wAs less than 100000.
The total value OF all property in the
republic al the period of the first CEN
sus Yves between 500 and 700 millions.
The total per capita wealth was In
New England ;1ss; in the Middle
states t1l5; IN the Southern states
SAT-.
In 1850 slaves were owned in every
state in the union except Massachu-
sstts, Vermont, and the District OF
Maine. About one-fourth Of all the
slaves were owned outside Of the
Southern states. As a slave state
virRiniA ranked first. nearly 100000 Of
the TOO, 600 IN the union at that time.
The number Of slaveholding families
IN the United States in 1870 were e.
geo. In 1850 the number had increased
to sls,0oe. Slavs-hoiding families in
1870 were classified according TO the
number Of slaves held. The average
number Of slaves held by each family
was 7.e. But three persons In the
Northern states held more than 20
slaves; Elijah Mason Of Lebanon,
Conn, had 20; Robert Livingston Of
Livingston. ~. z, had A. and Marga-
ret Hutton Of Washington, Pa, had
~ slaves.
In the Southern states at the time
OF tho first census there existed for
every 100 whites So slaves and IN 1900
Tho proportion had declined to 4s. The
total value of slaves at that time Is
given at sos, 900, 900. OF this sum the
slaves in New England were valued at
$685.. 1000. The slaves were estimated
70 be worth $3.50 each.

Enerous at that time Of any other.
There were 6,932 families and 33,245

from a soldiers home near Connecti-

the amount OF pension money he re-
ceived HIS pension was $40 per month.
the old veteran said, and most of 1t he
banked. Asked II that was the limit
for pensioners, he answered that It
was not. Perhaps ne could get $40
per month II he applied, but he is get
ting all that he wants. What would
I do with $40 per month"; he contin-
ued. With $50 can save enough TO
give me a comfortable living for thu
rest OF my life should leave the homo.
And under these circumstances why
should ! petition the government for
an increaseT"
This veteran 10 70 years OF age and
$40 a month amounts to s240 year.
and in ten years would give him t2,400
from the government; and at 80. II
regularly banked, this might produce
a little in excess OF $4,000; and there
Is no competence I'm that for the vet
eran. The fact that he Ia in the SOL
diers' home shows that he has been
unable to accumulate sufficient money
for independent living, and this lack Of
thrift or financial ability warrants the
assumption that he doesn't know what
he 10 talking about. His condition In
life makes a small amount Of money
look very large to him. Allowing for
the increase to SIS g. month when he
is 75 years Of age does not add $500
to the total. This old soldier is labor
ing under a mistake.
