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 ii the union is
broken it is more likely to be sue

weeks, DR.. A. c. Haddon, reader in

he will conclude his study of the
American Indian.
On this expedition to the govern

tribe. whose physical development is
expected to furnish the professor with
plenty of splendid data. DR.. 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

DR.. Haddon says the party will
leave the railroad at Midvale and ride
out within a few miles of the Flat

will be pitched. The expedition will
halt there for about fortnight. DR..

RAIDlNG EAGLE FOUND DEAD
Last Of the Golden Variety In the
Black Hills succumbs to Old
Age In Strange Nest.

Deadwood, s. D.-When the pic.
neers entered the Black Hills 35 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
fight and of different color. The
feathers of the back were almost
jet black, the wings 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 quarter OF
a 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.
4 900 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
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, II possible. to cap
ture the golden eagle alive. He real.
ICED that "Old Sentinel" was the last
of his race in the hills. and that in
his capture he would get prize we'll
worth the effort Going out to the
Ragged Top range with small party
of friends he was told that "Old Sen
tinel" had not been seen in more than
month.
Mr.. Norman concluded that trip
to the lofty home of the eagle was
worth the trouble and climbed to the
top of the mountain. There. covering
space more than 20 feet square,
were the bones Of almost all kinds
Of small domestic animals. lying about
in heaps. Not far away was the skull
Of an infant. whitened and polished
by the storms of years. Bones that
were taken for those of the legs and
arms were also found, indicating that
perhaps the stories of "Old Sentinel
and his mate carrying away children
were not wholly untrue.

Conclusions Gathered by statlstician
at Cornell University Contain
Much Interesting Information
Regarding Legal Separation.

ltacha, 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 1O0,-
900 population. If Algeria is to be
counted, her records even exceed
Japan's, being 288, 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,11, SO; Switzerland,
AZ; Austria but 8, 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:
I, ut seems fair, to conclude that
between 65 and 80 out of every 1000
marriages celebrated have ended in
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.
