BIRTH RATE IS LOWER
Social Reformers Are Greatly
Alarmed by Situation
in Prussia.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, July 27-Figures published
by the statistical department show that
in proportion to the population Of Prus-
STA the birth rate has reached depres-
sion lower than at any period within the
last hundred years.
With slight Interruptions the birth rate
has fallen steadily from 42-6 per 1000 In
1876 to 3O7 in 1910. There was an absO-
lutte decrease in the number Of births in
Prussia in 1910 of 3O.417 as compared
with 1909.
There appears to be an impression that
this is largely due to social causes rather
than to ply Biological reasons. and that
the rapid rise in the prices of the neces-
saries Of life is the cause Of a phenome-
non which Is alarming social reformers
1t seems an unlikely hypothesis that the
race is becoming exhausted, and the
reason for the decreased birth rate will
most likely be found in the complex con-
ditions of modern life and it's insecurity
conditions which make the support OF
a large family exceedingly difficult.
1t is remarkable to find the NOrd-
duetsche Allgemeine Zeitung, in discuss
ing this problem. declaring that much
depends on the question CT adequate
housing accommodations. In Berlin it
is becoming customary for landlords to
refuse flats to people with large families
and statistics clearly show that depres-
sion in the birth rate affects town popu-
lations much more than rural commun-
tiles.

NORTHWEST NEEDS MEN.
Fifty Thousand Can Be Used in Har.
vesting Crops.

DULUTH. Mimi, July 2.-The Amer
lean northwest faces a serious scarcity
Of laborers. Thousands Of men are need
ed to harvest bumper crops. work on
railroads and help also in the develop
ment of Canada, but labor cannot be OBJ
tanned ia top wages and the unusual al
lurement Of free fare. This is a composite
statement of all the better known en-
ployment OF bureaus here and at other
points north of Chicago.
To get the full meaning of the inn
mensity of the crop in the Red River val
ley and in western Canada alone It need
only be said that $1,000 men are needed in
those sections. Free fare is being Of
fered for men i'm Michigan, Wisconsin,
Illinois, Minnesota and North Dakota.
Canada also is holding out free fare, but
men are hard to get
All railroads northwest are short of
men. For the last year men have been
going to Canada, and many remain there
1t is figured that twice as many men will
be required in the northwest this season
as last year.

Birds Flirt, Sing and Dance.

CHICAGO. July 27.-Henry Oldys,
formerly Of the United States bio.
logical survey. in q lecture at the
University of Chicago last night
said that birds are possessed Of an
esthetic sense similar to that Of
the human being.
BIRDS dance in the air; do
highland filings and the more Sc
date evolutions with the most per-
feet rhythm" said Mr.. Oldys.
They sing a bird ragtime' and at
other times snatches Of song which
greatly resemble our grand opera.
There Is q blackbird that has
song almost parallel to a Wag-
merriam opera :the robin is the best
in sO-called popular songs, while
the wood thrush sings a song Of
four distinct verses.
Like the human being, birds fiirt
and are filled with vanity. In this
capacity they use their plumage
with great effect In the Kongo
there is a male bird that struts
before its mate and peeps under its
wing to see If she is looking at
him.
The speaker concluded with the
statement that birds sometimes
copy from man and that man could
learn a great deal by copying from
the birds.

SHIELD IS DEVISED
TO PROTECT Miners
Patented by Two South Wales
Workmen, It Is Expected
to Prevent Accidents.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, July Cit Is claimed for q
simple shield. devised and patented by
two South Wales colliery workmen. that
it's use will make accidents from the mis-
firing Of shot in mines impossible and
thus avoid the heavy loss Of life aris-
ing out Of blasting work in pits and
Quarries.
The two inventors. Abraham Price and
William Pryse, who are cousins, claim
that:
l. BY the use Of the shield and the
method OF stemming. the detonator can
be withdrawn in case of misf1re.
2. There Is no need to drill q new hole
alongside the charge-laden hole This
process is the chief cause Of the ex-
plosion OF the old shot.
g. There is no time lost and no risk
incurred in searching for unexploded
detonators.
AS in the case Of other useful and hui
name inventions, this discovery has its
romantic side, for the inventors turned
their thoughts to the appliance as the
result of the tragic death of their own
nephew.
Young Workman Meets Death.
One morning in 1899. Isaac Evans, a
youth of eighteen years, working in the
Park colliery bored and charged a hole,
and the charge misfired. A third hole
fired and brought down one Of the mis-
fired holes, leaving the first unbroken.
Evans tied the wires in knots and went
to crop the roof down with pick
The point of the pick caught in the knots
of the wires. and the shock from the
blow fired the charge, which inflicted
CHASTITY injuries on the young workman
For nine weeks he suffered agonies be-
fore death mercffully came.
Mr.. Price. who was Evans uncle, and
had brought him up from childhood. was
SO grieved by the tragedy that he sci
himself to devise some means of pre-
venting similar explosions In the future
He secured the cooperation of his cousin
Mr.. Pryse. and for ten or twelve years
they thought, planned. contrived. At last
their efforts have been crowned will
success.
The shield was on exhibition at the
Westminster Palace Hotel yesterday. ant
will be placed on view shortly in one O.
the committee rooms Of the house o.
commons.
