EXPECTATION OF LIFE.
Years One May Count Upon Living at
Any Given Age.

Any Given Age.
No statistics have been calculated
with greater care than the tables which
give the exact expectation Of life for
men and women at various ages.
These mortality tables are officially ac-
cepted by the various states In the
United States, and from them the life
insurance companies compute their
rates of insurance, They are as ac-
curate as the most carefully gathered
figures can make them.
At ten years Of age the expectation
Of life is 4S.72 years When one has
reached the age of twenty the chances
are much improved, and there is still
an expectation of 1920 years before
one. At the age Of twenty-five the
average has improved, and there are
still some thirty-nine years ahead.
For the normal man or woman thirty
years of age the average length of life
is sixty-fve years. A person thirty-five
years old may count, according to these
tables, on thirty-two years more.
As each milestone Is passed the pros
pect brightens Thus at the age OF
forty the prospect is for nearly twenty
nine years more, and at forty-five there
Is an expectation of twenty-five more
years.
BY the fiftieth year the expectation
is about twenty-one years, and In the
ffty-fifth year 1t is nearly eighteen
more. A man OF sixty may look for
ward with some confidence to fifteen
more years of life. and this increases
so that at seventy years the prospect
is eight years. On having successful.
| ly passed the eightietli year there Is
| an expectation Of about five years. Z

applying this regularly for four or i've
days the foot is soaked in hot water.

Cheap Power.

Natural steam coming up through the
ground is cheap power for running
an engine in the northern Tuscany
mountains. Lakes Of hot water in the
vicinity Of the steam holes contain
much boracic acid. and manufactur-
ing company uses the natural steam to
run machinery for extracting the valu-
able boracic acid from the lake water.
The only difficulty in this pleasant
state Of affairs is that the steam itself
is so highly charged with boracic acid
that it would injure the blades Of a
turbine engine, SO the steam is used to
heat up an ordinary boiler, and the
steam from the boiler is then used in
the turbine. The steam is caused BY
volcanic action and comes up through
blowholes at a considerable pressure

CURIOUS CLIFF HOUSES.
Queer Prehistoric Dwellings In Mesa
Verde National Park.

Queer Prehistoric Dwellings In Mesa
Verde National Park.
The Mesa Verde National park is sit
uated In southwestern Colorado and
may best be reached from Mancos.
Within the park are many notable pre-
historic ruins, the cliff dwellings COM
prising a group Of great importance to
the study of American archaeology.
The principal and most accessible ruins
are the Spruce Tree House, Cliff pal
ace, Balcony House and Tunnel House.
Spruce Tree House is located in the
bead of Spruce Tree canyon, branch

twenty-five rooms, some Of which are
In almost perfect condition.
Tunnel House, about two miles south
!, of Spruce Tree House, contains about
twenty rooms and two kivas, connected
by an elaborate system Of underground
passages, and burial ground Of 5,00t
| square feet. In each Of these villages
is an elaborate system Of fertilization

and twenty feet high. watchtowers
thirty feet high and blockhouse'

eral Grant National Parks.
The Sequoia and General Grant Ma
tional parks, the home Of the big trees,
are situated in Tulare and FRESNO
counties, CAL, and are celebrated
mainly for the great groves OF the big
trees which are scattered through
them. Sequoia National park may be
reached from visalia, thence BY way
Of electric railway to Lemon cove,
thence forty miles by stage or private
conveyance to Camp Sierra, in the
park. General Grant National park
can be best reached from Sanger,
thence by automobile, stage or private
conveyance, distance Of forty-six
miles to the park.
The streams and lakes In these parks
afford splendid trout fishing, boating
and bathing. The waters are all pure
and fit to drink. The forests contain
the largest, oldest, tallest and most
valuable trees In the world Aside
from the giant SeQuoia, there are other
forests of pine, fir, cedar and many
deciduous trees that are truly royal.
There are many shrubs, wild flowers,
ferns and mosses Of superb beauty,
while frolicking wild animals and

It's Many Uses and the Numerous Proc

That common little object, the dry
cell, has played an important part In
the advancement OF scientific research.
There are few articles manufactured
that are used in so many ways as the
dry battery, yet 1t is by no means
recent discovery.
The automobile, motorboat, wireless
telegraphic apparatus, Christmas tree

vibrators, electric alarm clocks, bur-
glar alarms, automatic door openers,
safe cracking devices and internal ma
chimes in their many forms, devices
for setting off dynamite explosions In
excavations, the various testing out
fits and electric clock service, to say
nothing of the divers ways that 1t Is
used in scientific experiments, are a
few of the most obvious of its appli.
cations.

as many processes as are necessary In

The exposure by DR.. Cora

"Taxpayers' and w a &c
Farmers League that the
organization consisted Of two
persons, Mrs. Duniway and
DR.. Talbot, and was fl
nanced by the brewers and
distillers to make Oregon
"wet," threw the fat into
the fire.
The brewers and distillers
know that all kinds Of bust
ness save theirs is better in a
dry town. :,
They know this has been proved
by figures and facts from Salem,
Oregon City, Roseburg, Albany,
Newberg, Ashland, Corvallis, Pen
dleton and many other towns.
| Organization Spreads Untruths.
| So they organized the "Taxpay-
ers' and Wage Farmers League" to
spread misinformation about Ore
| gon dry.
| They know bank deposits in dry
towns have increased in number
and amount. They know bad debts
are almost unknown in all dry
towns. They know collections are
better. They know arrests from
drunkenness are almost unknown.
They know every dry town in Ore
gon is prosperous.
So, they became desperate.

Then they organized the joke

League DR.. Talbot was secre
tary. She became disguised wher
she learned money was being col

she resigned.
Then Mrs. Duniway advertised
lavishly, announcing that the money

vided by the brewers.
