FARMING AND LONGEVITY.

FROM THE GOLDEN BOOKS.
The Bm-lnI Of Sir John Moore Mt
COrunuQ.

The Burial of Sir John Moore Mt
Not drum was heard, not a funeral note.
AS his corSe to the rampant We hurried:
Not a soldier discharged his farewell shot
Ger the grave where our hero We buried
We buried him darkly at dead of night
The sods with our bayonets turning,
BY the struggling moonbeam's misty light
And the lantern dimly burning.
No useless coffin inclosed his breast,
Not In sheet nor In shroud we wound
him;
But he lay like a warrior taking his rest,
With his martial cloak around him.
Few and short We're the prayers said,
And We spoke not word of sorrow,
But we steadfastly gazed on the face Of
the dead,
And we bitterly thought of the morrow.
We thought. as We hallowed his narrow
bed,
And smoothed down his lonely pillow.
How the foe and the stranger would tread
DER his head,
And we far away on the bilow!
Lightly they'll talk of the spirit that's
gone,
And DER has cold ashes upbraid him
But little he'll reck. if they let him sleep
In the grave where a Briton has laid
him.
But half Of our heavy task was done
When the clock struck the hour for re-
firing:
And we heard the distant and random
gun
That the fee was sulenly firing
Slowly and sadly We laid him down
From the field OF his fame fresh and
CORY;
We carved not line, and We raised not
stone
But we left him alone In his glory.

but none the less certain raising OK the
standards tend inevitably 10 the re-
striction Of tho number Of medical dip
Tomas issued each year.
The Springfield Republican shows
that in spite of these tendencies both
at home and abroad. Germany, for ex-
ample. exhibits en- increase in the num-
bcr Of physicians out of all proper
ton to the Increase in population.
Berlin Increased 90 per cent in popu-
lation from 1888 to 1909 while the
number OF physicians Increased 155
nor cent. In the province of Brandon
burg population increased 55 per cent.
and doctors s02 per cent. in number.
There Is now or was recently ono ply
stefan to every &c Of population in
Berlin, s,24e In Poscn, 3,1o2 in West
Prussia ana 1926 In Reuss.
The Republican further says that
some years ago the Massachusetts CEN
sus or statistical bureau figured up one
physician in tho state to every 431 of
the population, and one in Boston to
every CSC of the population. 1t mus
therefore, that physicians have in
creased In number grca tly In Germany
they are nothing like as plentiful
there, either in Berlin or the provin ces
as they are in Boston or the state OF
Massachusetts; but SAYS 1t Is to be
noted that the Massachusetts, statistics

INTERESTING FUEL TESTS,

Some important experiments will be
conducted on board the Della ware and the
North Dakota with liquid fuel on board
hattlcships. Similar experiment with that
type of fuel applied to torpedo boat de
stroyers has also been planned by the
navy department. 1t has been decided
to adopt oil as II fuel on the destroyers
operating in the Atlantic and In the
neighborhood of the Pacific coast.
1t will not be possible, however. to de-
type of war vessels stationed in Asatic
waters. There is certain amour: of vul-
nerability about an oil tank or other
reservoirs for the supply of that class
Of fuel. and it is felt that III. torpedo
boat deStrOyCrS operating In Philippine
waters, for instance. or making Manila
or Olangapo a base of supplies, will have
to be combination boat using both coal
and oil best suits the situation, or
else depend entirely upon coal When
the base of supply is any point along
our coast line 1t will be possible to es-
tablish a depot for a reserve stock. and
there will be five of these depots. accord
ing to the present Intentions of the naval
authorities.
Nothing is known concerning the use Of
liquid fuel on board torpedo boat Destroy
crs to justify its permanent adoption, al
though the British admiralty has gone
back to coal This action Is due entirely
TO the prospect that in time Of war the
English destroyers would not BE able to
obtain liquid fuel. So far as the test
with oil as a battleship fuel indicates its
advantages. 1t has been reported that 1t
t. possible on board a ship where oil Is
used In place OF coal to reduce materially
| the tireroom force and to eliminate ashes.
There Is also a convenience of stowage,
as It Is possible to place the oil In COM
partments which could not be occupied
| by coal. Then, too, It can be taken
aboard and handled much more rapidly
| Of the hard manual labor involved In
coaling ship. A prime consideration Is
| the fact that speed can be Increased al
most at once, which Is not the case
where coal is burned one Of the great
est problems OF the navy has been the
| height Of the smokestaCks on both de-
| stroyers and battlcships. That is the
| question which has not been settled.
| The condition of smoke obscuring the
| vision and interfering with opera lions Is
| III measure removed by the use Of oil
| In which case there is no smoke except
| when the ship Is nj full power. Alto
