Science Suffers
Serious Setback
In Philippines

G CIENTIFIC study of the Philippine
islands has received serious setback
by abolition of the Philippine bureau
of science, according to the American An
thropological Association. The organiza-
ton points out that the archipelago is
many hundred miles long and that it is
crowded with a most picturesque variety
of people.
From the standpoint of religion, in addi-
tion to Christians. there is a large Mo-
hammedan population and great many
tribes still in their original paganism
From the standpoint of physical appear
ance number of widely different types,
the most interesting of which are the
Negr1to," or pygmies, have been found
These tiny people, almost as black as
tar and standing shoulder high to an
Americans belt, are often thought to be
the original human race. They are fast
vanishing in the Philippines
The native institutions of all the Fill
pinos, black. brown and yellow, are dis
appearing and changing at an even more
rapid rate. The human animals of the
archipelago are more interesting than all
for study, because the other branches Of
science. such as zoology and botany and
geology. may be carried on after the peo-
pies of the island have become entirely
changed.

New Element in
Plane Geometry
DISCOVERED

n r. JOHN A LAN1GAN, Of Niagara
Falls, has discovered a new ele-
ment in plane geometry 1t is en-
titled the ''Theorem Of the Geomerric
Scale DR.. Lanigan is a graduate of
st. Marys college at Halifax, N S., and
of the medical college of the University
of New York. He is a brother of the
late Monsignor James A. Lanigan. of
Buffalo. who was for some time vicar
general of the Buffalo diocese.
DR.. Lanigan's discovery came by acci-
dent after nearly forty years study of
the trisection Of an angle Detailed de-
scriptions Of the new element have been
submitted to many of the highest author
ities on mathematics in the country and
they have admitted that no flaw can be
found in it. All say that if accepted it
Will revolutioniZe the subject of plane
geometry.
Speaking of his discovery, DR.. Lant
gan says:
1T is a well known fact that there are
several propositions of plane geometry
that cannot be solved by the postulates
OF Euclid-that is, with only the use
Of the circle and the straight line.
The most notable OF these is to d.
vide an angle into three equal parts
Many eminent mathematicians have
published works to show that it could
not be done by plane geometry 1 have
evolved a geometric scale that makes
this possible"
DR.. Lanigan, although agreeing as to
the inadequacy of the elements of Euclid,
points out where the difficulty lies. He
shows in his theorem that every angle
holds relative position to itself and
to its two-thirds, and. in fact, to all its
parts when these parts are made to ter
inmate in a certain circle
He has evolved a geometric scale
which locates certain point This
point, together with two other fixed
points. enables one to describe a certain
circle; also to locate on that circle the
position OF that angle which is equal to
two-thirds of any given angle.

The United States bureau of census on
the Indian population of the United
States and Alaska has completed a re-
port under Director Samuel L. Rogers.
The Indian population Of the United
States, exclusive of Alaska and the insu-
lar possessions. was 265.683 in 1910.
representing an increase of per cent
over the number reported ten years ago,
when the census bureau made its first
enumeration Of Indians. Thus, at the
most recent census, the only Americans
whose native ancestry extends further
back than a century or two-or three at
the utmost, as the report points out
constituted less than three-tenths Of
per cent Of the entire population Of the
country.
OF the total Indian population. 74.s25.
or % per cent, were found in one state,
Oklahoma; 160,107, or 60 per cent, in
the five states of Oklahoma, Arizona.
New Mexico, South Dakota and Cali
fornia. In density of population Okla
homa again led, with 1O8 Indians per
square mile. The proportion which In
dians formed Of the total population
was, however, greatest in Arizona.
where it was IA. per cent. There are
Z0U luQldQ ITlOeS, comprising % llHSulS-
tic stocks. The most important tribe nu-
merically was the Cherokee, with 31,489
members when the figures were taken,
while those next in order were the Ma
vajo, Chippewa, Choctaw and Teton
Sioux.
The census takers found that, as COM
pared with whites and negroes in the
United States. Indians marry somewhat
earlier in life. and the explanation OF
the tendency is said to lie in part in the
fact that the male reservation Indian Is
frequently as assured of livelihood at
the age Of fifteen as he Is later in life.
1t was found that the practice Of polyg-
amy still exists in a slight degree.
OF the total Indian population in the
United States in 1910, 56.5 per cent
were reported as full bloods, and 35.2
per cent as mixed bloods. The largest
proportion Of full bloods was found in
New Mexico, where it was 80 per cent
of the total Indian population. The low
est proportion Of full bloods in a. state
having at least 1000 Indians was found
In North Carolina, where 1t was 19.1.
significant fact brought out is that
children born Of mixed marriages are
more numerous and more likely to sur
vive than those born Of marriages be-
tween full-blooded Indians, although
the opposite has generally been sup
posed. Furthermore, the figures show
that the greater percentage of white
blood represented in any class OF mar
rage, the greater the proportion of sur
viving children.

AREA Larg as
German Empire
Cleared of Ticks
in DIXIE Land
<NIP the tick" is the slogan which the
department of agriculture has

adopted in its campaign against
the cattle tick in the south. Blazoned in
big letters this legend stands out in start
ling relief upon two-color poster in every
postofhce Of the tick-infested country.
The poster is one of several features
which the department is to employ to push
Its work for the eradication Of the pest
which costs the south $4,000, 900 a year.
The department Of agriculture finds it
necessary, in fostering diversification of
crops, first to wage war on ticks. 1t is
pointed out that ticks take as much as
zoo pounds of blood a year from a 1000
pound steer; that in the case of COW that
should give eight quarts of milk a day,
ticks will cut the yield down as much as
three and one-third quarts a day. The tick
prevents bankers from lending money to
promote the livestock industry, keeps
down the fertility and production of farms
and makes the farmers pay the loss
The department, since 1906 has sue
ceeded in clearing one-third of the tick
infested area of the south, a region as
large as the German empire, and has
helped the farmers inaugurate profitable
stock raising. 1t costs less than fifty cents
a head to dip cattle and free county
from quarantine. But before the ticks can
be cleaned out the people of the county,
with the aid OF the state, must build dip
ping watts, which cost from $50 to 500
each, and must supply arsenic, which
costs about five cents head for the cat
tie
