Noise KIIIInq Mankind.

In time we might evolve a race i'm.

by killing off those who are most in.
jured by 1t, and these nervous people
are often the very ones who are do.
ing the most to advance civilization.
So the only thing to do is to make the
environment fit for them and not kill
them as unfit for the environment.
The first step Is to abolish unneces.

construct less noisy pavements and give
children Fairgrounds where they can

1,a5oFoot Ships In 1890.

At the first international congress OF
maritime navigation in Philadelphia IL
was predicted that in 1850 the twenty
largest boats on the Atlantic will have
an average length of 1.100 feet, with a
beam of more than 100 feet, and a
draught Of nearly forty feet.
A forecast, however, made several
years ago for 1923 materialized last
year, and 1t may well be that this fore.
cast for 1850 will find itself an actual.
ity fifteen or twenty years sooner than
the time prophesied.
Work being done to better docking
facilities all over the world gives a
slight indication of what may be ex.
pected. The plans for the new locks
OF Tilbury dock provide for Ships of a
length of 1880 feet, width of 100
feet and draught of 80 feet. The
Suez canal is to be deepened to 80 feet
by 1915.

Worlds LARGEST Index.

On Beacon Hill, in Boston, under the
golden dome Of the statehouse, is one
of the largest indexes In the world.
In fact, the Russian public index is
the only one known to be larger
More than 100000 names, births,
marriages and deaths in Massachu-
setts from 1943 make complete rec
ord, showing not only where people
were born and where they died, but
also statistics which are vital in max
Ing up calculations. Before this
time, says the National Magazine, the
records were kept in the different
towns, but now they are all concen-
trated in the statehouse in Boston.
In a relatively small space all these
records are preserved, and as births,
marriages and deaths come In, differ
ent forms Of cards are used, and a
great variety of names, Grecian,
Assyrian, Italian and others now
mingle with good old New England
names that have been on the records
since the landing of the Mayflower.

Tho Tale of the Earring.

A curious instance of the survival
and revival Of fashion which orig
mated in the remotest times is the
earring. Worn by the kings of Egypt,
and extremely popular among the Ia
dies Of ancient Rome, 1t subsequently
lost favor until the gay day Of the
Stuart period, after which 1t again
dropped out, and has now once more
regatned popularity The very earliest
mention Of this form of decoration is
to be found in the Book of Genesis
Jacob, 1t will be remembered, on
reaching Bethel buried certain strange
idols, among them some earrings be-
longing to his family. Doubtless these
ornaments were regarded purely in a
propitiatory light as amulets or tails
mans, such being still their principal
office In the east today. That they are
of eastern origin is certain, and among
Orientals, with the exception Of
Greeks and Hebrews, 1t has always
been the custom for both sexes to
wear them, while frequently only one
ear was adorned Among other races,
however, earrings were always worn
In pairs, and by the women only.

OLD AGE ONLY A MIcRoBE
Scientist Claims It Is Not Necessary
That People Should Feel Bur-

1t seems that according to most re
cent discoveries old age is not natural
result OF years, but is a microbe. AT
least this Is claimed by the scientist,
Metchnikoff Of the Pasteur institute In
Paris.
1t is not necessary that people
shouid feel burdened with years and
grow feeble and exhausted as the
months roll into years. All that is

when science can once discover the
antitoxin which can successfully COM
pat the poisonous effects of the
mlcrobe, we can live on, perhaps not
longer, but without discomfort until

on his observations of mammals as
compared with birds.
A dog or horse, for instance, shows
distinct signs of senility. They grow
feeDie and decrepit and break down
In every way. But birds do not. A
duck that Is twenty years old shows
no signs OF advanced age. Parrots
remain for long years in a youthful
state and retain their brilliant plum

which, according to reliable informa-
tion is seventy to seventy-five years
old, 1t is impossible to recognize old

mails do not or cannot accumulate in
the bird. In the mammal they in

toxic effect from these intestinal
sources produces the phenomena
which we call "old age."-Chicago
