Cause Of Ace and Death.

Everything points, it appears to me,
to the essential correctness of the
view which holds age and death to be
the result of the greatly increased diff
ferentiation of larger organisms. Is
there then any probability that we
shall some time find that in the high
er animals, as in the lower ones, death
need not occur? Evidently not. II
death is the price Of differentiation.
then after the goods have been deliv-
cred the price must be paid. To pre-
vent higher organism from undergo
ing death would at the same time pre-
vent him from becoming higher or
ganism. And the cell which remains
in the embryonic condition-the cell
of the germ glands-is even now as
immortal as the cell of the infusorian.
Death, as Minot says, is the price we
pay for our complex life. Age and
death, though not inherent in life it.
self. are inherent in the differentia-
ton that makes life worth living

AUTOMOBILE HAS A WING
French Motor Car Is Driven In the
Same Manner as an
Aercpsane.

A successful trial run was made re-
GENTLY from Paris to London, about
800 miles, by a motor car driven by
a revolving wing. the Paris Figaro
states.
The vehicle, which was designed by
M. Bertrand de Lesseps, and is called
the winged car" has the appearance
of an ordinary motor car, save that
In front it is shaped like the prov
of a ship. From the extremely OF
the prov extends shaft to which is
attached the propeller-or revolving
wing-inyented by NJ Filippi
The wing is small, strong and thick
and revolves within protecting cage.
The engine is of 40 horse power and
rotates the wing by shaft and chain
transmission
There is no other mechanism, the
wheels of the car being free, except
for footbrakes. BY the side of the
driver is a single lever which con-
trolls the clutch and the forward and
reverse movement of the wing. The
wing can be reversed at a moments
notice, thereby forming an additional
brake. In the trial runs speed of
81 miles an hour was obtained with
2,100 revolutions of the wing min
ute. One curious feature was that the
car made no dust.

NOVEL ELECTRIC RESTAURANT

An electric restaurant, which en-
tirely does away with the services OF
walters, has been installed in Paris.
Tt is fitted with tables for one, two,
three, four and larger numbers OF
guests. Beneath the dining room is
the kitchen and dishes prepared below
are sent straight up to the tables
through the floor.
A guest gives his order through an
electrophone attached to the electric
lamp on the table. The electrophone
carries the voice to the kitchen below
without any special effort of the diner
to speak into it. The dish ordered
comes up through moderate-sized
hole in the table. When the diner
wishes to get rid of dishes or glasses
he merely says so and they disappear
rsiiently through the hole by which
they came. When the table is large
one the dish can be made to circulate
and stop before any diner who wishes
it.
No waiter or human assistant ap-
pears at the table from the moment
the diner sits down until he goes out.
When he wishes to pay his check he
says so. It comes up through the
table, he leaves the money and goes
away. There is no waiter to be
tipped and none to- feel aggrieved be-
cause he is not tipped. The inventor
Of the system is M. Georgia KNAPP,
noted electrician living in Paris. hut
Of foreign origin.

HE FIXED THE DOCTOR
FINAL MESSAGE OF SPANIARD
DYING IN HOSPITAL.
Not Black Hand Letter, as Nurse
Feared, But instructions to His
Brother Not to Pay the
Medical Man.

In a New York hospital cadaver-
GUS Spaniard with the aid of oxygen
and pump, was staving off the final
moment of exit.
Rallying temporarily, he stretched
out hand and clutched at the arm
of the nurse, motioning her to lean
over and put her ear to his mouth.
MY doctor go?"
Yes; he's gone"
shut e door,
Lock him. he begged-it was the
custom to humor the dying.
He beckoned her closer and pulled
her down to him again. you make
promise?"
Yes, indeed; what is it?'
Get paper, pencil, and-what you
call
Shielding his writing with one hand
he managed to scrawl a single line on
the note paper and to address the
message, but before loosening his
hold on the paper he called her to
him once more.
Now you promise for me again?
You promise you not show this to doc
or?-not show 1t tonight, nurse-not
to anybody? Just mail it-you prom.
ise?"
She nodded.
He slipped the sheet from the en-
velope once more, grinning with what
had every appearance of fiendish ex-
ultation.
THAT fix him." he muttered. THAT
fix him.
An hour later, when the doctor re-
turned, he found the nurse crying.
HE died fifteen minutes ago, and
don't know what to do. l ought to
mail this, but I'm afraid it's some
Black Hand business or something.
Would you be willing to look it over
and see If it's all right to send? You

letter.
He glanced at the one single line
and shook his head.

whispered.

On Beacon Hill, in Boston, under
the golden dome of the state house,
is one of the largest indexes in the
world In fact the Russian public in
dex is the only one known to be
larger More than nine million names,
giving births, marriages and deaths in
Massachusetts from 1843, make COM
plete record, showing not only where
people were born and where they
died, but also statistics which are
vital in making up calculations. Be-
fore this time the records were kept
in the different towns, but now they
are all concentrated in the state house
in Boston. In a relatively small space
all these records are preserved, and
as births, marriages and deaths come
in, different forms of cards are used,
and great variety Of names, Grecian,
Assyrian, italian, and others now min
gle with good old New England names
that have been on the records since

TEACHES THEM THRIFT
FATHER MAKING HIS CHILDREN
LEARN VALUE OF MONEY.
Each Has Some of His Own for
Household Work, but Allowance
Is Reduced If His Savings
Fall Below Mark.

William Jones is a thrifty father
with a plan of his own for teaching
his four children the value of money.
These children are Is, II, 8 and
years old; the two eldest are girls,
and the two youngest are boys. Father
Jones is head of a branch of his house
hold which he calls the thrift de-
partment"
To teach child to save, Jones be-
lieyes, it is essential to let him handle
a little money of his own, and always
to have some in his possession. II be-
lieve,' says Jones, that the boy who
can go through store full of attrac-
tive things, spend small amount
thoughtfully, and come back with some
loose change in his pocket is on the
road to thrift"
In carrying out his duties as general
manager of the thrift department
Jones pays each child a certain amount
for work done about the house. The
8-year-old boy earns twenty-five cents
a week in this way. He is expected
to spend fifteen cents of that amount
In any way he pleases, but to have at
least ten cents every Saturday night
for the small metal "home bank"
which is kept for him. If he brings
only eight cents, the next week his
allowance is cut to twenty-three cents,
and fifteen cents of this is put into
the bank by General Manager Jones
before the boy can touch it.
The plan works. Nearly hundred
dollars is in savings bank to the
credit of the eldest girl; the other girl
has $40. The 8-year-old boy has been
broke number of times, but he is
learning that it doesn't pay to spend
it all. Jones says that his 15-year-old
daughter, has become careful and
successful shopper, that she always
has money for whatever she wants
most, and that so far as she is con-
cerned his duty as overseer is about
ended.
I've never heard of thrift plan that
seemed more reasonable, interesting
and likely to succeed. believe 1t
would do lot to hold family to-
gether. Certainly, In Jones's case, 1t
is going to ease the responsibilities of
the future.

DANGEROUS Exercise.

Every person who has received
gymnasium training is aware of the
fact that an exercise which calls for
painful effort on the part of the be-
ginner is often performed almost
without any conscious effort at all
after certain amount of training has
been received. Again, it is perfectly
well known that brute strength alone
does not make a gymnast, and that a
simple exercise may offer great diff
ficulty to a muscular and well develop
ed individual who has not been train
ed in the gymnasium, The explana-
ton for this is made plain in an ar
ticle by Prof. du Bots Raymond in Die
Umschau, who points out that one of
the essential functions of gymnasium
work is not so much to build up mus
Gle as to train nerves and nerve
groups to work in proper unison and
coordination.

AERIAL TOWN IN MEXICO

Were mushroom of gigantic pro-
portions to be so planted as to over
look the sea it would present strik-
ing analogy to the foundations of the
town of Ancoma, three miles south of
the Mesa mountains, in Mexico.
The queer, mushroom-like rock on
which this town is situated has over
hanging sides nearly four hundred feet
high. The top of the rock is compare
lively level and is about seventy acres
in extent. 1t is indented with numer-
GUS bays and notched with chasms.
The greater portion Of it overhangs

STRIKE OF JAPANESE LEPERS

Although strikes are the order oil
the day in Japan a strike of lepers
is something out of the common. AT
the Kameyama hospital, however, this
recently occurred The hospital was
founded and is conducted by a So
ciety of French monks, and contains
some three hundred leper patients.
The costs of the establishment are
paid by voluntary subscriptions and
by the sale of the produce of the hos
pital garden and handiwork of the pa
tients. The latter receive no pay
ment for their services, beyond their
board, lodging and medical attend
ance and s. small sum for pocket
money, which is calculated at the
rate of a farthing per day. Recently
the lepers demanded an increase in
their pocket money allowance to a
half-penny day, and on the refusal
of the father superintendent they
struck work, and over hundred es-
capped from the hospital by night by
climbing over the wall. They were
