See That Your Water Is Pure.
BY George Otis Smith, director, United
states geological survey, Interior De-
partment.
Very reasonable estimates show that
the use Of pure water annually saves
from the ravages of water-borne ty-
phoid fever alone more than four times
the cost Of purifying the water. The
substitution Of pure for impure water
supplies in the United States would
save annually some 5000 lives and fully
500. 100000.
The geological survey is trying to
teach the public the simple facts about
typhoid fever to the end that every
citizen may realize thar all water is

properly purified. The surveys re-
searches also show that often much
better Information on the sanitary
character of water supply can be
obtained by an intelligent inspection
Of the source than by chemical analy-
sis or meteorological examinations OF
the water itself.

COST OF MOVING PICTURES.

Few people who witness a moving
picture show, at a moderate admis-
sion price, realize what immense
sums are expended in preparing for
such exhibitions. According to the
Boston News Bureau it cost to make
showing picture films for Quo Va
dis" not less than $2S0,000. This
film was manifolded into 400 copies
of 5000 feet each and sold at %
cents, a foot, for a total of $4,000
900. A steamer of II, 900 tons was
SEN to Iceland with a crew and n
company of 400 to produce films for
the drama of atlantis" at a cost of
$225,000 The makers of the films
showing Forbes-Robertson as Ham,
LET paid $4,000 for the use of a
castle and costumed 400 people for
their purposes. Their whole expen-
diture was $250.0O0, but they sold
5000, 900 feet of that film for
S750,O00. The Tiger Hunt" film
required an outlay of $236,000, but
it was also sold at 25 cents, a foot.
For making the film of the lamented
Capt. Scott In the Antarctic $25O,OO0
was expended. and the royalty al
ready collected by Mrs. Scott ex-
ceeds the original cost of the picture.
TO actors of ability taking part in the
making of moving picture films
$500 and $500 a week Is paid, but
freak persons get as much as 5000
to $500 a day. One woman gets more
than $4,000 a week from the films
makers for risking her life in cages
with lions, tigers and leopards. Clad
in tights she permits herself to be
buffeted and knocked around in the
cages Just as If she were one OF the
animals. A man who made a moving
picture jump from Brooklyn Bridge
got $500 for his feat, and the man
who made a parachute descent from
the tower of the Bankers Trust
building in New York received w.

LOVED RANCHER FOR
HIS "CRUSHING BRUTALITY

Talk about confessions, The
prize goes to one Florenz Folsom,
who owned up by letter to her hus.
band. that she had ceased to care for
him, and that there would be nothing
more stirring in the domestic har-
money line, SO far as he and she were
concerned. The reason was that
Florenz had met a Nevada rancher,
whom she had found to be her nat
ural mate" According to Florenz,
the Nevada man has characteristics
that both hurt and are pleasant and
she likes the combination. Mrs
Folsom was wife of Charles Dwight
Folsom, senior meSnber of the law
firm of Williams, Folsom & Strauss,
New York lawyers. She is known as
the Poet of the Horse and it may
be that her disposition is such that
she needs a curb bit and spurs
such as a rancher or cow pnncher is
familiar with-to make her behave.
At any rate, after the judge read her
letter TO her husband, he granted an
interlocutory decree of divorce, and
Florenz is free to follow her natural
mate. The letter in part was as
follows.

his English estate bringing in, it is
said, about 100000 per anuum, and
his Irish estate about 100000.
Some idea of the extent of the wealth
to which the infant Viscount Milton
is heir may be gathered from the
fact that the late peers estate vas
valued at considerably over 81. 1000
900.
Another lucky baby is the son of
Lord Howard de Walden, who was
born with his twin sister in No
vember last. He will have wealth be-
yond the dream of avarice. His moth

Van Raalte, leaving f3S0,000, while
the Earl's income has been estimat-
ed at los a minute.
Neither must one forget the son
and heir born to the Duke of Nor
folk in 1908. The premier Duke oil
England owns some $4,000 acres,
the chief estate being between the
Thames and the Strand, in Sheffield,
Arundel, and Littlehampton. The
Duke draws hundreds of thousands
of pounds every year from this valu-
able property.

BABY HEIRS TO MILLIONS.

Seldom has a baby started life
with such a prospect of future riches
as the Marques of Bowmont, the
little son of the Duke and Duchess
of Roxburghe, who was born a short
time ago. His mother, who before
her marriage was Miss May Goelet,
inherited with her brother, Robert
Goelet, an income from a trust fund
of property worth no less than fS,-
900, 1000. In addition to this the
baby will, in the days to come, prob
ably enjoy an income of f100, 900
Cor $4,000 a week., which his
mother inherited from her father.
There will also be another income,
which. Mrs. Ogden Goelet left to her
daughter the Duchess, while one
must not forget the 60,500 acres
which will pass from the Duke to
his son.
There are one or two other lucky
babies in this country who, although
not perhaps quite so well of as the
little Marques of Bowmont, are not
likely to suffer any great want. On
the last day of 1910 a son and heir
was born to the Earl and Countess
Fitzwilliam. The Earl owns 49,
900 acres In England and Ireland.

cent, and copper production maa,
the phenomenal gain of 10.s per
cent.
The above figures demonstrate tho.
SO iar as production goes. copper in
the last ~thirty-two years has not suf.
fered a real setback in a single wear
me course Of iron has been much
more irregular.
A study of worlds copper produc-
ton might lead n not familiar with
the copper industry to belief that
the Industry had experienced no de-
pressed periods, notwithstanding
curtailment in other lines. This NAV
De true as in other lines, but not in
prices. In 1899 copper sold as high
as l9h cents and as low as 10 cents.
In 1901 the high was II cents. the
low IL cents. In 1906 sales were
made as high as 20 cents and as low
as 14M cents. The metal sold as
high as % cents in 1906 and as low
as 1S% cents. In 1907 the high of
10 Z cents was reached, from which
there was a slump to 12k cents.
Even 1912 recorded a drop from
liz cents to IA cents. The price is
now about 15A to 15k cents. The
average price for the last thirty-two
years was a fraction below IA cents.
While it may be true that "as
goes iron and steel, so goes copper
1t is equally true that with respect to
production copper has been subject
TO fewer irregularities than iron, and
that percentage growth in consump-
ton of copper has been much more
rapid than that of iron.
For illustration, in 1881 there
were 119 tons of iron produced for
each ton of copper; in 1912 the ratio
had been reduced to 1876. In 1908
the ratio was 63.S, but this was the
result of a shrinkage of 20.9 per
cent in copper production.
1t is remarkable that copper prices
should be subject to such wide fiuc-
tuations in face of almost uninter-
rupted increase in production. Iron
prices have been irregular, but the
market has been under better control
than in copper. This contrast is
perhaps due to the fact that manu-
faeturers of iron have been more dis
posed to limit output to demand. In
case of copper, concerted movements

dustrial depression have. been few.

our city Which nave the precaution to obtain
Federal licenses The natural inference to be drawn
from that is that they wished engage in the
sale intoxicating liquors and did not care to get
in conflict with the Federal Government If they did
not purpose selling such liquors there abso-
lutely reason why Federal licenses should be OBJ
tanned There Is Federal law against the free dis
pensation Of liquors by either clubs individuals It
follows therefore, that when the City Solicitor in
Quires "Why did you deem IL necessary to take out
a Federal license II you did not purpose selling in
toxicatins liquors?" the witnesses rnder oath will
be placed in an exceedingly embarrassing position.
And then again such Witnesses will know that If
liquors have been bought and sold in large quanti-
ties there Will be records somewhere of those pur-
chases and sales and that It will be within the power
of the City Solicitor to call for their production They
will hesitate to lay themselves open to the charge

Mr.. ANDREWS AGAIN
WRITES OF THE POST

TO The Editor of THE EVENING

Sir: In replying to Mr.. Dizer's de-
fense of the whipping post the writer
had no idea that the discussion would
degenerate into an indulgence in
petty personalities, which have moth
ing whatever to do with the merits
or demerits of the whipping post.
What has his distortion Of a con
versation, in which the writer char
acterized a certain public mans"
connection with a movement which
had for its object the control of the
church in the interests of special
privilege, to do with the ethics OF
crimnology? Does Mr.. Dizer imagine
that he is a spiritual police" with a
patent right on Christian truth? Mr..
Dizer thinks that it is righteous and
salutary to fog a criminal; but he ap-
parently has no thought for the in
human social conditions that make
men criminals. Science has proved
that a man can only be good or bad
as heredity and environment cause
him to be good or bad; that every
quality of body and mind possessed
by the child at birth has been handed

Every citizen is entitled TO express
