Deaths Due to Dust.
eyes,.

A warning against the dangers Of
dust was issued recently by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, in which
it is shown that the percentage Of
deaths caused by tuberculosis in dusty
trades is more than double that for
all employed men in the registration
area of the United States. While
among males generally In the regis
tration area of the United States 14.5
per cent. of all deaths are from con-
sumption the mortality among grin
ders from this disease is 49.2 per
cent, and In hardly any of the dusty
trades is 1t below rs per cent. The
percentage Of deaths from tuberculo-
sis among all those exposed to metallic
dust is 1863 per cent; to mineral dust,
28.6 per cent; to vegetable fiber dust,
2S.8 per cent; to mixed animal and
other forms of dust, 1921 per cent; to
street dust, 25.5 per cent, and to
organic, or dust coming from the ar
ticle being manufactured, 23 per cent.

RENEWED INTEREST IN LIFE
Something Really Happened at Recep-
ton, and Old Attendant lie
Encouraged.

The guests at Mrs. Arthur Miles,
tea yesterday afternoon detected an
odor of something burning. They
said: Poor Mrs. Mize, something is
burning up in the kitchen" But the
odor grew stronger, and at last one
woman said: 1t smells as though
feathers are burning" Then sudden
ly one woman screamed: Mrs. Chal-
liss, look at your hat!" Sure enough,
Mrs. Jim Challiss had been standing
near lighted candle, and the aigrette
on her hat was on fire.
The guests had a great time putting
out the fire, The aigrette was what
the insurance men call a total loss.
An Atchison woman who has gone to
thousands of receptions says the burn
ing of the aigrette yesterday is the
first time she ever knew anything to
really happen at reception. She
has given up going because nothing
ever happened, but now will start in
over again-Atchison Globe r.,

GROWTH OF PARIS is SLOW
Its Gain Is Steady, However, and
Berlin Alone Disputes Third
Place With It.

The French census taken last
month shows that the increase In the
population of Paris in the last five
years has been 1898. In ten years.,
at the same rate, the growth would be
about 10000 less than the gain in
Cleveland in the last decade, AS a
matter Of fact, the increase IN Paris
from 1901 to 1911 was only l32,918,
the gain in the last half of the decade
having been decidedly larger than
the growth of the first five years.
This increase is very small. for so
great a city. In the ten years from
1901 to 1911 the rate of growth has
been little less than per cent,
which falls far below the average rate
of expansion in London, Berlin or st.
Petersburg, not to speak II New
York, Chicago or Tokyo.
But the gain in Paris has been
enough to show that the French me-
tropolis is not likely to come to
standstill, and 1t is evidently as pros.
porous as it has been at any time.
The three million limit is not far
away, for the new census shows g..
s46,9S6 residents, exclusive of several
important suburbs.
This question Of suburbs renders
somewhat doubtful the assertion that
Paris is still the third -;ity of the
world. 1t is clear that the French
capital has wide margin over Der.
lin, inside the limits of the two great
cities, but it is not at all certain that
the population of Greater Paris, with
adjacent suburbs incIrded, is larger
than the total for Greater Berlin, u.s.
ing the same system of including con-
tiguous suburbs.
Tokyo is growing much faster than
Paris and so is Chicago Both prom.
Use to be on the heels of the French
metropolis within ten years. But for
the present Berlin IL the only city ia
dispute the Partisan claim to the
position among the worlds great cen.
tiers of population which comes Just
below London and New York.

AMPELoPsIs FOR THE CITY
Hardy Vine That cIlngs Closely t.
Walls and Thrves Under Ad-
verso Conditions.

The Ampelopsis is one of the most
useful hardy vines. What great i'm
provement might easily be wrought IN
houses, but those of suburban towns
and country districts as we'll, with
a few of these plants to soften the
hard angles and break up the fiatness
that SO often prevails.
The best plant, and the one most
generally used for this purpose, 10
Ampelopsis Veitchii, the well-knowD
Boston or Japanese ivy.
Among the chief features in favor
of this plant, it clings closely to the
wall or other support by means Of
its disk bearing tendrils, requiring
considerable force to tear it away.
thus no struggling vines are seen
hanging down or bare places on the
wall once the Ampelopsis has grown
over 1t.
Dust, smoke and other conditions
incidental to cities so disastrous to
plant life have little effect on the
growth of this plant.
1t is beautiful at all seasons, the
bright green foliage Of early spring
changing to dark green during the
summer and again to the lively fall
tints Of red and orange. Even the del
icate tracery of its leafless stems In
winter is attractive.
Ampelopsis Virginica or quinquafo
liza with large "f1ve-fingered" leaves
more suitable for growing on fences,
garden walls, posts or masonry en-.
frances to drives, walks, ETC., than on
buildings, owing to it's loose habit OF
growth. There ave many different
forms of this native vine, all are beau
tiful, especially in autumn, when the
effect of the brilliant foliage is glor
ious.
Pot-grown plants are most useful
Tor planting, especially in the small
spaces usually found about city hous
es. Ampelopsis does not require par
ticularly good soil, and will thrive un-
der adverse conditions, such as in the
dry soil generally prevailing close to
the house wall.
Before planting remove at least q
cubic foot of the old soil and replace
with good loan. A we'll grown pot
plant when knocked out of the pot
will have a network of fibrous roots,
covering the outside of the ball of
earth. Loosen up these roots at the
bottom before planting, as they will
grow out into the fresh soil more rap.
idly than if left matted together.
After planting, water thoroughly
and as often as required until the
plant becomes established in it's new
quarters.
The cost and care Of these plants
is trifiing compared with the improve.
ment obtained in the appearance of
the home, whether in the city or coun
try.

Not Impressed.

Nine. Nordica, at a garden party at
Deal Beach, said, apropos of her re-
cent European tour:
Many good people refuse to be i'm
pressed by the armless and legless
fragments of antique sculpture treas
ured in the museums Of the Old
World.
Zone day in the British museum a
guide was recounting to little knot
of tourists the glories of a battered
centaur, when a Chicago meat sales
man broke the reverent hush with the
question:
" Excuse me, sir, but what would
they feed bloke like that on-ham
and eggs or hay?'"

When grandfather's clock at the
Ship hotel, Weybr;dge, Surrey, Eng

to contain the complete skeleton of a
cat. The animal must by some means
have been shut in the clock, which has
not been opened for many years.

A little boy, says Harper's Maya

NEW YEAR PEERS
 ARE LACKING

London January 1.-Much surprise will be occasioned by the absence from the Kew Year honors issued tonight of any new peerages. The political prophets had predicted an unusually large list of peer ages, the names of the Right Honorable Richard B. Haldane, secretary of war, and others having been mentioned. Some conservative papers have talked of the appointment of as many as 20 or 30 new peers. .- ,ttt.
 The omission is susceptible to two pos sible explanations. Either the King would not sanction or Premier Asquith was re- lactant to recommend the creation of peers while the difficult question relating to the house of lords remained unsettled.
 Doubtless many rnionists will jump to the conclusion that tho prime minister failed to obtain the required guarantees from the King but it is considered more reasonable to suppose that the govern ment recognized the futility of creating new peers while the question of the dras- tic reform of the upper chamber with the possible abolition of the heriditary basis is in the air.
 The premier's list of honors compro- r.lises six privy councillors, the most not able of whom are Alexander William Murray, master of ElIbank, the chief lib- eral whip and William Abraham. mem her of the house committee of the Rhondda division of Glamorganshire, who is the son of working collier and him. self closely identified with mining inter- ests; nine baronets. among the best known of whom is Charles Wright ,Macara, pres i1ent of the cotton federationS and 25 knights. The most. likely to strike pub lie attention among the new knights are Joseph Lyons. a well known caterer, for services in supporting the territorial movement, and Henry J. Wood, the or chestral conductor. Sidney Colvin, keeper of prints and drawings In the British museum, was also knighted.
 Otherwise the list is not of striking in- terest. The rewards go to- political work CTS, officials of various kinds, and many doctors and others connected with philan- tnropic works. .t
 The long list of promotions in the order of St. Michael and St.. George include the names of Lord Robson slf A. B. .Aylesworth. the Canadian mir If jus tice, in connection with the fstfrles arbi- tration and George F. Gibboss ch iirman of the Canadian waterway aertion com mission, in connection wit Inc Eeaty on the boundary waters of Las 8 and the United States.

ROOSEVELT TALKS
 ABOUT HOXSEY

New York January 1.-The American tomorrow will publish Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's comment on the death of Arch Hoxsey. It follows:
 q am more grieved than I can say over the tragedy that came to Hoxsey. He was courageous and a splendid type of fellow.
 T wanted to make the trip in the air with Hoxsey because he was an Amer ican aviator and had an American ma chine. I admired HoXsey for the skill he had displayed in handling his aero plane. I felt that it was entirely safe to trust him when I ventured into the air with him.
 'Hoxsey was a man unafraid. He had the quality that all must appreciate. No braver heart ever beat upon the battlefield than Hoxsey's. Such men as he are the ones who accomplish things in the sphere of science and all activity
 "It Is hard to think of the death of this splendid man of daring But the tragedy of Hoxseys, as of others who had met death from exploits in the air, will not be in vain.
 "It Is important that aviation be car ried on The Wright brothers have per formed an incalculable service to this country in the real development of avia- tion.
 Arch Hoxsey did his part and he did 1t well. He achieved notable triumphs and what he did hef1ected credit on all Americans. ttt
 Apart from the deplorable end that came to Hoxsey there should be no let up in aerial experiments. Hoxsey gave his life as a noble. sacrifice"
