The Last of the Andamans,

From the New York Evening Post.
The Andaman Islands, in the eastern
part Of the Bay Of Bengal. where Great
Britain has maintained a penal settle
ment since 1883, originally had a consid-
cradle native population. These island
savages are Of great interest to science
for various ethnologic reasons, and the
naws that they are rapidly dwindling
away-contained In the census Of 1911-
should lead to some attempt at conserva-
ton. In the case Of two groups that
have come partially under the influence
of civilization an original $500 individ-
uals have decreased to 45J. In fact, the
only tribe that seems to be holding It's
own is that Of the savage Jarawas. who
have not as yet been tainted with civil
ization The gradual extinction Of the
Andamanese Is attributed to three causes
increased infant mortality among the
children Of parents who have come un-
der the influence OF civilization, and that
due to measles: decreased birth rate fol-
lowing the introduction of venereal dis
ease. and fatal exposure among the sick
who come in to the hospitals to be treat
ed and temporarily live life of clothes
wearing. Upon their return to the jungle
these are discarded, and the resulting
exposure is fatal to q weakened body.

The Bow and Arrow for Recreation.

From the Pittsburgh Press.
Speaking of outdoor recreation some
body asks why we are not more given
in this country to the good old English
game Of archery?
A bow, arrows and target aren't ex-
pensive. To bend a stiff bow and speed
an arrow straight to the bulls takes
supple muscles. keen vision and accu-
rate Judgment Of wind and distance. The
exercise Is wholesome In the fresh air
and not exhausting. And as sport II Is
clean and fine. Archery is popular in this
country in spots, among the wealthy. But
It is equally adapted to be a pastime
Of persons in average circumstances. You
might find 1t just the thing with which
to entertain the family these summer
evenings For many tennis is violent and
golf is in an incidental way more ex-
pensive than 1t looks. But almost every
backward offers a chance for archery;
and. if not, it's rarely far to q vacant
field. The other day. in a suburb of
Paris, q Frenchman made new worlds
record for long-distance shooting with
bow and arrow. The flight Of his shaft
spanned almost third Of a mile. To be
the crack archer Of a neighborhood is
an ambition that does nobody else any
harm and the pursuit Of 1t is usually
healthful to the pursuers.

Flowers and Climates.
From the Chicago Journal.

from the Cnlc0SO JOURNAL.
There is one phrase in garden ntera-
ture which the lover of shrubs and flow
ers comes to hate with q virulence passing
that reserved for many mortal SINS 1t
Is the "trying American climate" phrase.
The worst Of the matter Is that the
hateful words are true. Roses which
thrive in England in the latitude OF Hud-
son bay need a trained nurse and a
heavy overcoat to live through a winter
in Chicago. fifteen degrees to the south.
In Paris, few miles farther north than
Quebec, the Luxembourg gardens are
still CHEEKY with blossoms late in Mo-
vember. Recall the appearance OF our
own parks at the same date. Nature
seems to have plotted to make gardening
easy In one hemisphere and difficult In
the other.
Yet the conspiracy Is mans. not ma
lures, after all. For fifteen or twenty
centuries the peoples Of middle and
northern Europe have been breeding
shrubs and flowers to fit their local cli-
mate. Less than q hundred years has
been devoted to the Same work in any
part Of America west of the Alleghe-
niles. European gardeners started with
native plants: American gardeners start
with imported plants. The wonder Is
that 50 much has been accomplished In

Mice on Submarines,
From London Tt-Bi:s.

From London T1t-Bi.s.
That the rearing Of fancy mice can
be made not merely an interesting hobby
but also a source Of substantial profit
Is illustrated by the experience of Scar
borough man, hundreds Of whose tiny
pets find their way annually into the
hands of the admiralty.
The. admiralty is not a purchaser direct
from smaller men. but gets its supplies In
very large quantities from the big dealers,
who. In turn. take lesser Quantities The
prices paid by the dealers are Is Cd to Is
Cd. per dozen, and as these tame mice are
very prolific many hundreds can be pro-
duced in the year, even by the small
breeder.
Tame mice are required principally for
use in submarines. They are exceedingly
prone to suffocation. The Scarborough
fancier, Mr.. Beanland. illustrated this by
covering the palm of his hand with ordi-
nary liquid paint and placing a tame
mouse upon 1t. The tiny creature was at
once overcome by the smell of the paint
and suffocated In an incredible short
time.

small town in Louisiana was consum-
ed completely by fire. The indwellers
stood helpless before the advancing
flames. An aged man and . child were
burned to death; six others were unac-

that It is ono Of the most recent dis

Eleven States Most at Fault.
Statistics compiled by Safety Engineer

that magazine to declare that eleven

Of Arkansas. Texas and Iowa are next

in regulating rates Of fire Insurance. not
