How Long a Soldier Lives

A CCORDING to Edward Bunnell Phelps,
n editor of the American Underwater, a
soldier has a better chance of living through
a year of the war than a civilian has when
pursuing his ordinary occupation. Thus, he
says the percentages show that soldier will
excel the civilian in chances that if he is 25
he will reach SO; if he is 30, to reach Al; if
he is 35, to reach As; if he is 40, to reach 40;
If he is AS, to reach So; if he is SO, to reach
So; if he is So, to reach 60; or if he is 60, to
reach 60.
Mr.. Phelps has made elaborate mortality
tables showing these conclusions, based on
an estimated death list of $4,000 out of
5000 900 engaged during the first year of
the war. However, this estimate of deaths
is based on the rates of the Union army dur
ing the Civil War, the German army in the
Franco-Prussian War, the British army in
the Boer War, and the japanese army in the
Manchurian War.

The Boundary Marked at Last
THE last monument marking the boundary
between Canada and the United States
from the Lake of the Woods to the Pacific
Coast has at last been put into place. The
monuments were formerly ordinary posts, the
last OF which was planted in 1878: but these
were perishable, and seven years ago it was de-
cided to replace them with permanent monu-
ments. These are of aluminium bronze, made
into three sections of sixty-five pounds each,
which, are strung on an iron rod and fixed
into heavy concrete foundations. They
have been established sufficiently near to-
gether to be within eyesight of each other.

Inform The Editor.

One of the most difficult of the
EDITORS jobs is to get facts about
births, marriages and deaths. Peo-
pie seem to think he ought to
know these things by intuition. If
not that, the birth, marriage or
death is of such Importance in the
immediate family that it is pre-
sumed the editor will be infoi med
by some wireless or just grow into
the information. Then, when the
paper comes out, and no mention
is made of the event. the editor is
blamed for not running a good
newspaper or not getting all the
news. Remember there are a
good many people in this county.
If the editor knew each of them
by name, besides their family his
tory and the chief events in the
lives of every individual, he
wouldn't be an editor. He'd be a
demi-god, resting his feet on a
cloud and slipping ambrosia instead
of inhabiting broken. down office
chair and wondering where the
money for the next white paper
bill is coming from. The life of
the average newspaper man is a
gay one. Gathering news is sec
ond nature to him. like picking his
teeth with his office pen and cuss-
ing the office towel. Just the
same, there's limit to his ON
niscience. Last week we thought
of million, eight hundred and
fortynine thousand, three hum
dred and sixty-four things of i'm
portance, besides couple of hun
dred thousand small items unwor-
thy of mention. And it was a

Pearl Culture a New Industry.

Among the interesting exhibits OF
the Japanese in tho Manufacturers
Palace at the PanamaPacific Interna.
tional Exposition is a demonstration
of the methods and results of pearl
cultivation in the far East. The dis
plays of this cultivated product, show
ing hundreds of pearls which until
pearl culture was placed on a COM
mercial basis a few years ago would
have been the possessions of royalty,
will delight any lover of beautiful
gems, and the methods of production
will prove interesting to any OBJ
server. Though pearl culture has be-
come thriving industry in Japan, at.
tempts to reproduce it in other parts
of the world have yielded but meager
results.
The successful method of propaga-
ton was evolved by the Japanese sci.
enlist Kokichi Mikimoto, who discov-
cred a species of oyster which pro-
duced the pearl on the surface of the
shell. Though the finding of the oys-
tiers and inserting the nuclei. then
waiting for the pearl to grow to a
commercial size may seem a simple
process, the fact that it has not re-
duced the price of the gems, even to
that of the most expensive limitations,
shows that it is beset with many diff
culties.

That Mississippi can grow good

That Mississippi can grow good
wheat has been satisfactorily dem
onstrated this year. Several car
loads have been sold at good
prices to Memphis dealers. There
is no reason why the state should
not produce enough wheat for its
needs. We are surely waking up
to the fact that there is money in
other things beside cotton. More
corn is being raised than ever be-
fore, probably, and if we continue
to diversity we will soon be in the
front ranks of the wealthy states.
