LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES.
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one
of the prominent life insurance COM
panies, in an interview on the SUBJ
ject, made the astonishing statement
that the reason why so many appli-
cants for insurance are rejected is
because kidney trouble is SO common
to the American people, and the large
majority Of applicants do not even
suspect that they have the disease.
He states that Judging from his
own experience and reports from
uggists who are constantly in d.
rect touch with the public, there is
one preparation that has probably
been more successful in relieving
and curing these diseases than any
remedy known, The mild and heal

on. He will reflect that ocean travel
today is proved by statistics of cas-
ualties to be actually safer than land
travel And his brain will go on con-
ceiving and his hand constructing
great. ships with increased safeguards
against disaster.
The Titanic may have proved that
the balance between speed and safe
ty has not been justly kept, and that
something of speed must be sacrificed
to the safety factor We do not yet
know at what speed the Titanic
crashed into the wall of ice, but we
do know that the momentum of her
forty-six thousand tons moving thru
the water even at slow speed was
tremenduous--so tremendous that
the cunning of her architects could
not devise construction with water
tight compartments that would stand
the impact 1t is little less than won
derful that she stayed afloat even
four hours.
Another way in which safety could
be better assured would be the aban-
donment of the northern lanes of
steamship travel in favor of the
longer and more southerly lanes,
which are less subject to the incur
sions of ice masses.
But in the presence of such ca
tastrophe the dominant feeling is one
of helplessness, of human futility.-

WELL DEFIES SKILL OF MAN
Gus Flow of Gas in TransyI-
vania, Hungary.

There are wells of many kinds:
those which gallons of petroleum.
those which furnish water to sur
rounding populations, wells that are
scarcely damp, and wells that periodi-
cally 1nundate the neighborhood in
which they are found. But of all the
wells in existence probably none COM
pare in interest with gas well In
Hungary.
This well is situated in Transylva-
mia, and the popularity of it is that
1t is not seen but heard. The gas es-
capes by means of an iron tube with
such dreadful force as to produce a
noise which makes it impossible to
hear the human voice within a con-
siderable radius.
Many and diverse attempts have
been made to regulate and utilize the
output of gas, but so far the only de-
vice which has succeeded has been
to put an iron tube Of Is centimeters
In diameter into the earth. Through
this the gas has been escaping now
for nearly three years. Engineers
from various countries have been con-
Quoted to the spot and have thought
out ingenious ways to make the gas
available and to stop the dreadful
noise caused by It's escape. Every
plan has failed. On one occasion the
problem was believed to have been
solved, but it was soon found that the
gas had merely been turned aside in
its course and was escaping in the
same manner in adjacent territory
after having followed a track for some
distance below the surface.
The gas comes through the 'ron
tube with the velocity of a cannon
ball and it is estimated that there is
a daily loss of million of cubic me-
tiers, the value of which amounts to
l6.000.-Harper's Weekly.

The MOUNTAINEERING Titans.

The Mountain-P ning Titans.
IT'S an old tale; Jove strikes the
Titans down,
Not when they set about their noun
tain piling,
But when another rock would crown
the work.
So said Browning in "Paracelsus. "
In the old Greek myth the Titans
sought by piling mountains on noun
tains to scale the heights of heaven
and assail Jove on his throne. But
the crashing thunderbolt of the SUI
preme god of the Greek cosmogony al
ways demolished their gigantic la
bors just when success seemed in
sight. The Greek myth prefgured
mans experiences in battling with
the terrific forces of Nature.
Here was the Titanic, greatest of

marine architecture, held to be alb
solutely safe from ocean disaster of
whatever kind the triumph of hu-
man mastery over the sea. Named
for one of those huge, primordial
giant-gods whom the Greeks conceiv-

Providence!
But such an impressive disaster,
carrying to the ocean depths many
