Artificial Lakes.

A German investigator has found
that the large artificial lakes formed
for irrigation purposes or to supply
water for large cities. are not with
out influence on the climate Of the sur
rounding locality. In one instance
that came under his notice, there has
been during the ten years since the
dam was constructed and the lake
formed, decrease of IL degree Fab
renheit i'm the average monthly differ
ence between maximum and minimum
temperatures In the neighborhood
Of another lake the number of foggy
days has increased from the average
Of fifty.seven sach year TO eighty-siX.
The German investigator says that
this increase can be assigned to no
other cause than the creation of the
great artificial lake and the conse-
quent increased evaporation I'm the To-

Oddities Of Justice.

That the whole theory OF penal
codes is practically unsound and OPP
posed to the modern conceptions or
the relation Of the state to crime. Is
the contention of Eugene Smith OF the
New York bar. writing in the May
number OF Case and Comment, the
lawyers magazine. Illustrating the ao-
surdity and disparity between penalty
for crimes in different states, Mr.
Smith says: "The average sentence
for perjury in Florida is ten years, in
Maine one year; for larceny, in Della
ware ten years, in the District of Co
lumbia ten months; the penalty for ar
son in Pennsylvania is twice that OF
burglary, but in Connecticut the guilt
of burglary is twice that of arson; the
guilt Of counterfeiting in Ohio Is twice
that of perjury, but in Rhode Island
the guilt of perjury is twice that OF
counterfeiting.

CONSTANT DRAIN ON NATION
Cost of tuberculosis and Other Pre-
Ventable Diseases Has Been
Put Into Figures.

White state commissions and other
bodies are trying TO find a method TOT
reducing the cost of life Insurance.
Prof. James w. Glover OF the Uni
versity OF Michigan demonstrates that
every policy-holder OF $4,000 or
dinary whole life policy could save
about $50 a year on his premiums II
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated. tuberculosis alone causes
a loss to such a policy holder OF from
$16.70 at twenty 10 $3.50 at the age
of sixty. At age of twenty, with the
present high death rate from tuDercu
lcsis, this one disease alone shortens
the complete expectation Of life by
two years and SO days. While the
death rate from tuberculosis seems TO
be declining, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tuber'
culosis says that the combined enort
of every man, woman and child is nee
essary TO bring about a radical reduc'
tlon in life insurance rates such as
Professor Glover has indicated.

Reindeer Industry.
In regard to the reindeer industry
DR.. Campbell is very optimistic. not
withstandng an effort was made a few
years ago to discredit the whole ven
ture.
The government established a herd
of seventy deer on the island in 1900" ;"
he says "and it now numbers six hun
dred and eighty. and many have been
killed for food and clothing. This may
not be done at will, but is entirely un-
der government regulation.
"Only about thirty-fve at present
belong to the government, the rest
having been given out to the herders
i'm lieu OF wages. Our chief herder,
Saplllu, has 200 head from his earnings
and their increase.
"The teaching in the public school
is not unlike ours, including industrial
training and music. In addition TO this
the schoolhouse, which is also our
home, is open to the public evenings
and is a social center in the fullest
sense. From it emanates the indus
trial. educational, business, social and
religious life Of the people.
Besides the regular school course
there is a good work bench, black
smith outfit grindstone, stocks and
dies, polishing lathe for polishing
ivory). fur-sewing machine, laundry
and organ always ready for any one
to use"
One Of DR. Campbell's pet schemes
is the Building and Loan Association,
which several young men have already
established and built sanitary cabins
for themselves and wives
Dr. and Mrs. Campbell are social
workers of the most approved stan
dard. developing the native and do

this means to this most restricted and

More Men Than Women.

The total population or the world
is now estimated at 1.700.000.000. This
is based upon the most recent cen
suses, which all civilized countries
now take with a careful estimate Of
the number of inhabitants Of uncivil-
lied lands.
The proportion OF the sexes is
known for 1,03S,000O0O of these. the
ratio being 1000 males to 800 fe-
males. The ratio varies considerably
in different places. In Europe there
are 1000 men to 1927 women; in Af-
lea, 1000 men to 1,045 women; in
America 1000 men to 964 women, IN
Asia 1000 men TO 961 women; In
Australia, 1000 men to 937 women.
The highest importation of women
is found in Uganda. where there are
1,467 to every 1000 men. The low
est proportion is in Alaska and the
Malay States. where there are, in the
former 39l, and in the latter 3S9
women TO every 1000 men.-New

John Dillon had loved and wood
Enid Vance, not so much from the
finer workings OF the masculine heart
toward the feminine as for other mo-
tlves: He had selected Enid as a
fitting mate. Her cheeks were Grim
son with the yigor OF health and her
step elastic. To associate her with
the rearing OF anything but a fine
race of men was TO doubt truth
itself
With this IN view Dillon had pro-
posed to and been rejected by Enid
she having chosen TO bestow her hand
and heart upon the less serious minded
Billy LanghOrn.
The week following the blasting OF
his hopes found Dillon escaping into
the country where he wanted TO for
get the vital expression OF Ends eyes
and the crimson of her lips. Then,
too, his book upon Child Life and
Modern Parentage" would progress the
quicker for the seclusion Of the coun-
try lanes.

with covert scrutiny. Rumor had It

Elsie had taken these opinions as
personal. Beneath the temporary list
lessness of her manner there was q
something that had caught fire at his
words. Elsie realized that she herself
was wan-eyed and pale, but that was
because her heart was broken and
her life ruined. Hadn't her father re-
