HEIGHT AND WEIGHT.
Their Relation to Mans Chances Fo
Long Life.

Their Relation to Mans Chances For
Long Life.
The ideal insurance risk, from the
point Of view Of height. is said to be
from five feet seven inches to five feet
nine inches tall. According to the Ma
tional Fraternal congress. longevity
and build have close relation; the
greater the variation in height from
the above figure the greater the risk.
Brockbank says that TAN men are
not SO long lived as their brothers
whose heads are nearer to the ground.
Men who are both tall and stout are
not as good risks as stout men of me-
dunn or below medium height. says a
writer in American Medicine They do
not bear acute illness so well, and ac-
cidents to them are likely to be more
severe.
Risks over the allotted limit Of
weight are especially liable to dia-
betes, heart affections, apoplexy, govt,
diseases of the kidneys and arterio-
sclerosis; excessive eating and abuse of
alcohol are common among this class.
1t is stated that stout men under forty
are worse risks than those over forty
and under sixty. and that men who
were unduly fat while they were boys
are considered poor risks. especially If
the tendency is hereditary.
Stout men are better average risks
than their very thin brothers who are
liable to tuberculosis and disorders Of
the nervous system. But for even the
featherweight there is much consola-
ton. He bears acute illness better
than the heavyweight. and most of
the people living beyond the allotted
threescore years and ten are of light
build. A slim, wiry, small framed man
is said to be a better risk that a thin
but big boned one.

Orc Deposits.

Men sometimes dream Of enormous
wealth stored deep in the earth, below
the reach Of miners. but experts aver
that there is little or no ground to
believe that valuable metallic deposits
lie very deep in the earth's crust Such
deposits. it Is said, are made by under
ground waters. and owing to the pres
sure on the rocks 1t great depths the
waters are confined to shell near the
surface. With few exceptions. ore de-
posits become too lean to repay work
ing below 5000 feet. Nine mines in
ten. taking the world as a whole, are
poorer in the second thousand feet
than in the first. and poorer yet in the
third thousand.

,Iaokal Broth.

There are parts Of Morocco. we are
told by French visitor, where jackal
broth is highly esteemed as a table
delicacy. A friendly sheik dissented
vehemently when it was intimated
that as jackals fed on carrion the
broth must have a horrible flavor
'It is only question Of knowing how
to prepare it," he said. you put the
jackal, skin and all, for two hours into
a vessel of boiling water. then transfer
It to another vessel. This process is
repeated three times. After ten hours
boiling in FIVE different waters. the
carrion flavor disappears and the broth
is delicious. London Chronicle.

TRIUMPH OF LABOR IS
HERE AND ABROAD

This is labor's greatest triumph
of a century. Not only are one
hundred thousand workers and their
families benefited by the increase
of wages, which enables them to
meet the cruelty high cost of living,
but they receive a material reduc-
ton in their hours of labor, giving
them for the first time in their lives,
the opportunity of recreation and
of getting to know their families.
Heretofore they have tolled all of
their waking hours. But far more
important than the material beneht
has been the demonstration of alb
solute power Of the wage earners.
The forces of capital are at last COM
PEELED to recognize hat united labor
enforce the rights of the workers
through their control of the food
supply of the nation. Our 'cor-na-
ton strike has also been a mighty
protest against the marbar1c splen-
dor of the %cornation spectacle and
the waste of millions of pounds,
which properly expended, would
have mitigated the wretchedness or
the poor. The loyalty and discipline
of the organized working men a
been superb. Instances of violence
have been few and widely isolated.
Many Of the reported fights were de-
~liberately encouraged by the city
police who wanted the troops sent
here to take control. The orderly
manner in which this strike has
been conducted from the outset I'M
til its happy termination has been
most remarkable considering the
vast number of strikers. There a
not been a single fattlity n labor

SOME UNIQUE NJ

~
Washington, Aug. 22;-SenatOr
Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, who
is a solon only incidentally, and a
farmer by profession, has a brand of
quiet humor in his makeup that is
unique in officialdOm. The Mime
sofa Viking was a member of the
party that recently accompanied
President Taft on his memorable
trip to Manassas.
When rescued from Senator
B~randegee's car, which was stalled
in the middle of a ford, swollen
by the afternoon rains, Senator Mel
son was taken into President Taft's
car. The Senator, known for his
determined opposition to riciproc-
ity, must come along, said the Pres
ident, as his vote was needed.
The Senator came, and sat silent
while the President and members
of his party joked him about his
rescue by the administration he was
opposing. Senator Martin spoke of
John Hays Hammond, Special Am
bassador to the Coronation of
George V, and re-told the story of
how he had nudged the King, to
the dismay of the English cOur-
tiers.
Senator Nelson made no comment.
Just then the car lUrched as it went
over the rough road. and Senator
Nelson was thrown against Presi-
dent Taft.
Without a yestige of a smile. Sen
ator Nelson remarked dryly: Il sup

In George Borup's "A Tenderfoot

on a pan lit was blowing some, and
the choppy waves made the shooting
look as if the suns had spiral barrels
The ineffective target practice produc-
ed these hair raising developments a
few seconds later: suddenly a giant
bull rose out of the water just along
side of Wesharkoupsi. He threw his
harpoon, but as the barb came off be
might as well have heaved a lead pencil.
The walrus gave a derisiye grunt, div
ed. and a second later shot out Of the
water on the other side, deluged us
with LIQUID and came down slap bang
on the gunwale Of the boat opposite
me.
by this time Wesharkoupsi was
high in the air and out for an altitude

"AlI this time the walrus was sitting

BLOW CEMENT on ROCK.

Washington, Aug. 22:-Expert-
ments are now under way along the
Panama Canal with a gun with
which cement is being blown upon
rock surfaces. The rock sides of
Calebra cut are crumbling, it is
found, and to save them from further
deterioration, a coating of cement is
being applied. This coating. which
Is about an inch thick, is expected to
prevent further Crumbling. The ce-
ment is blown with such force by
the cement gun that it is believed it
will become practically a part Of the
rock itself.
The gun mounted on a fiat car,
has a capacity of coating 200 square
yards of surface in one day. Five
men operate the apparatus.
1t is operated by compressed air.
Sand and cement are blown from 4
nozzle with great force. At the noz-
zle, ate is mixed with the sand and
cement, so that by the time the in
gradients reach the rock surface
against which they are directed, they
form a well-miXed concrete mixture.
