REWARD FOR BIG FAMILIES.
French Scientist Academy Sees Cause
For Alarm In Decrease Of Births.


Paris.-The problem Of repopulation
of France Is receiving the atten-
tion Of the Academy Of Moral and
Political Sciences. Figures were read
at meeting Of the academy showing
that the number of births annually in
the country in the last twenty years
fell from 100000 to 100000.
1t is estimated if IL proportionate de-
crease should continue for another
twenty years the future military class
es would be 10000 less than the classes
Of 1914, 1915 and 1916.
The question was considered so vital
it was suggested that important ad-
vantages should be accorded fathers
of families having numerous children,
and that the idea be generaliZed that
the normal family comprises three chill
dren.
It was suggested that the heads of
such families be allowed to share in a
proposed recompense.

LAKE GIVES UP DEAD.
Badly Decomposed Body Found
on Lake Shore.

Coroner Johnson was notified
Tuesday afternoon by fisherman al
Black Point of the finding Of the
dead body of man on the lake
shore at that place. Accompanied
by Sheriff Lien, the Coroner lmme.
diate]y went to Black Point to give
the matter his official attention.
After viewing the body and making
an examination they moved it to a
safe distance from the shore and
left 1t there for the night. The
corpse is that of a very big man.
1t was in badly decomposed con.
condition, having apparently
been in the water long time be-
fore being washed ashore. The
face and head are in badly batter
ed condition and the skin is so
blackened that idectification may
be difficult. The only article found
on the corpse by which identifica-
ton may be aided is an open face
silver watch, to which was attached
a leather string, used as a chain.
The dead man was dressed in shirt
and trousers, without coat or vest.
Sheriff Lien and John Samskar
went up yesterday with the latter's
gasoline boat and brought the body
to Grand Marais.
The body was last night positive
ly identified by members Of the
crew of the steamer America az that
of the watchman, "Big Ben," who,
several weeks ago, disappeared from
the boat after leaving Tote on the
down trip. He had been employed
on the America for over four Years.
Being of very quiet and agreeable
disposition, he was on good terms
with everybody. The night of his
disappearance he was last seen by
the cabin boy On the hurricane deck
at about II o'clock. They passed a
few remarks; but excepting that he
complained of feeling unwell, moth
ing unusual was noticed III his con-
duct. His presence on the upper
deck was common because his state
room was Oh that deck, and he was
then off watch. Death may have
easily been due to an accident
which theory is preferred by friends
of the deceased, because, he was not
they say, such a person as could
reasonably be suspected of suicidal
tendencies.
The coroner and county attorney
visited the America last night anc
talked with all the members of the
crew. All the information obtain.
able precludng any suspicion of fou
play an inquest was deemed unnec
cessary.
Burial took place today in Maple
Hill cemetery. A cousin, Reiner
Relnertson, who, by the way, is the
person who discovered the corpse
is here today to attend the funeral
There are no other relatives in thi.
country. The mother, still living
resides in Norway.
