PsDIlC OPINION
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

Re your editorial headed ENG
lands Civilization" From the re-
marks you have written in your
paper it is evident that your knowI-
edge of British civilization is very
limited. In the first place you state
that money which is being extrava-
gantly wasted for the mere gratiffca-
ltion of two persons, King Edward
(Which should be George) and
Queen Mary. Now anybody with
any mmo sense knows that that
Is absolutely ridiculous. The reason
of this display is to further strength
en- the system Of the monarchy which
incidently includes the system of
capitalism and its train of social
evils. As you must know to the
Ignorant natives of India or any
where else power must be shown in
a concrete manner, thus this lavish
display. AS for this waste of wealth
being used to alleviate the sufferings
of the natives of India, I may say
would rather see money wasted in
such manner than disposed OF by
the stigma which Is attached to
charity. What is wanted is not
charity but a cleaning out nOt only

an Alpine Accident.
The architect Violet lie Due wac one
day on the Sehwarzenberg glacier at
a height of about 1900 feet, accompa-
MED by Bapriste, the guide. who
marched In front. The two men were
attached to each other by a rope. as In
usual In Alpine mountaineering.
The guide had passed oyer a ~crevasse,
but when M. Violet lie Due attempted
to cross it he tailed and fell into the
abyss. The guide tried to pull him
out. but instead he found himself
gradually descending.
The architect perceived that his
companion If he persisted In the at
tempt to save him would surely share
his fate. and he asked II Baptiste had
a family.
"A wife and children" was the an

-Then.s said Violet 10 Due quietly.
Il shall cut the rope"
He did so and fell, but a block or
ice thirty feet lower down stopped his
descent. When Baptiste saw this ana
that for q time the danger was lessen

turned with four stout peasants. Three
hours afterward Violet lie Due was ex-
treated.

LIFE IS GROWING LONGER
Present Rate of Increase ls Found to
Re Greater Than Ever
Before.

Life Is not growing shorter, but DR..
O. H.. Howe, a Massachusetts physi-
clan, finds that the worlds statistics
indicate q steady lengthening for $50,
years, with a present rate of increase
greater than ever before. Records
for Geneva show an average increase
In the average age Of all deaths from
39.7 years in the nineteenth. In Mas
s~achusetts life is now lengthening
about fourteen years In q century, the
average length at the time being about
forty-fve years; in EuroE the In
crease Der century is about seventeen
years, and In Prussia, the land of
medical discovery and It's application,
about twenty-seven years. In India,
which has neglected medical science,
the life span has remained stationary
at only about twenty-five years. The
~lengthening of life in Massachusetts
has been promoted by the diminution
OF infant mortality, by the almost COM
plete disappearance OF smallpox and
by the lessening OF the mortality from
scarlet fever and especially from diph-
liberia to a small fraction of what it
was a few years ago. Continued study
OF disease germs, of which the num-
Der has increased In twenty-five years
from only two to between twenty and
thirty nov known, win further length

ingenious Trsp That Was Formerly
Used by this Mexicans.
The Mexicans In California mad an
ingenious method of trapping bears
before the advent Of the Yankees
brought modern firearms into the re-
gion. A piece of meat was nailed to
the stout horizontal limb of an oak
tree. From a limb ave or six feet
above @ rope was suspended. TO the
END of which a large stone was made
fast so that It hung about six inches
above and a trifie nearer the trunk
than the meat on the lower limb.
When q bear smelled the meat from
afar he would climb up the tree and
make bis way to the bait. In doing
so he would push the stone pendulum
to one side. Just as he was about to
fasten bis teeth In the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head.
This would arouse the anger OF the
bear. and ne would give the stone a
sweep Of his paw which would send
1t swinging farther out. The conse-
quence was q harder bang and more
anger. The more be struck the stons
the harder he would be hit In return.
until from ferocious anger he would
lose his caution and attack thu penirs-
ium with all his vfgor. Ono powerful
sweep. then bang. and pruin would be
sumbled out of the tree to the rocks
