Once there was a Poor Workman

Crafty Politicians would look him
up, shower him with Oral offerings
and dazzle him with golden prom
ises. SO he would finally give in
and vote as they wished and then
wait hopefully for the fulfillment Of
their pledges. Somehow or other

HIGH EDUCATION, FEW BABIES
Rryn Mawr Statistics Show Race Sui
dido Tendency,

The authorities at Bryn Mawr re-
Gently completed q statistical table as
Il result Of answers received from
graduates who took the degree Of
bachelor Of arts and later married,
which tends to show that the higher
education Of women leads to race sui
eide.
The statistics include all married
graduates up until Jan. /, 1911, and
take in the classes from 1890 to 1910,
inclusive. III the twenty-one years 3O8
Of the graduates taking the bachelor
Of arts degree married, and Of the 301
who answered 1872 had children
But the remarkable part Of the re-
port is that which shows the decrease
in the average number Of children to
the family. The high point was reacha
ed IN 1868, when the children averaged
four to the family Of graduates. From.
this fair average the percentage has
dropped with increasing rapidness un.
til 1910, when it averages but one
child to every three families.
IN twcnty-one years the graduates
Of the exclusive Bryn Mawr have been
the mothers Of 444 children, of which
22S were boys and ZIG girls. The high
water mark was reached by the class
Of 1901, with fifty children.

Director Abbot Of the Smithsonian
astrophysica1 observatory has just re-
turned from five months astronom-
ical expedition to Bassour, Algeria
The object Of the expedition was to
confirm or dlsproye the supposed vari-
ability Of the suns heat. The observ-
atory has been for seven years making
observations on Mount Wilson, In Cal
ifornia, OH the daily quantity Of heat
received from the sun. These have in
dicated that the sun is probably vari-
able stat having arrange variation
amounting to from s to, 10 per cent

five to ten days
Last year Mr.. Abbot made observa-
tons in Algeria, while his colleague.
Mr.. Ai'frich, worked at Mount Wilson,
in California. The object Of thus du-
plicating the measurements was to
avoid being misled by any local atmos-
pheric conditions which might have af-
fccted Mount Wilson observations.

sonian party In Algeria this year were
apparently very satisfactory They
occupied sixty-foui' days, ind on more

made similar. observations ON Mount

be doubted that the results Of the work
Of 1911 and 1912 will thoroughly estab-
lish. the supposed variability Of the
sun or will show conclusively that
