Child welfare has been claiming in
creased attention for half century
now Julia c. Lathrop calls upon the
whole country to pause long enough
in its multitudinous affairs to give
its very best thought to the babies
Not very much perhaps will be done
this year; bat the question is insistent
and ultimately society will have to say
what rights the baby has when it en-
tiers the world, and what is to be done
to maintain those rights Matters are
now very chaotic and indefinite, but
the prophetic eye can discern two
rights: the right to be well born. and
the right to place in the sun Unless
the child has place to- play. place
% grow. and a place to learn it has
no right to be on earth at all. And
me greatest thing that the State can
10 for he child is so to arrange eco
romic conditions that the parents car
give it proper care. Though some
parents are still so ignorant that they
need instruction. this is temporary:
their permanent need is room on earth
to work and care for their offspring.

And now comes the consideration
of beginnings. Children are plastic
by nature and much of the condition
OF the child and citizen is due to the
start given the baby A large part of
our sightless population could have
been saved from this affliction had
the eyes been treated at birth with a
wash of nitrate of silver Blindness
IS but one of thousands of Affections
visited upon babies through the ignor-
ance of those in attendance at birth.
One-siNth of the babies born die the
first year; one-fourth die during the
first five years; one-third before they
are twenty-one. A farmer would be
ruined by such loss of livestock.
Both the national economy and the
rights of the helpless individual are
demanding consideration.

LAKE TAHOE ONCE HIGHER
Some Ancient Volcano Became Active
and Great Rocky Block Sank and
Formed Pool Bed.

The statement sometimes made that
"Tahoe is an old volcanic crater" is
not true, according to report Of the
government geological survey. The
region about the lake shows evidences
Of volcanic activity of various kinds,
and the lake waters themselves have
probably been damned at times by
outpOuringS of lava. A lava flow ap-
pears to have temporarily filed the
outlet channel below Tahoe City. The
lake, however, lies in a structural de-
pression-a dropped block Of the
earth's crust. During the Neocene
epoch and the earlier part of the
Pleistocene epoch the waters Of Lake
Tahoe stood much higher than now,
probably on account OF lava dams
which have since been cut through
Distinct beaches that mark former
higher levels are found up to about
one hundred feet above the present
lake, but it is believed that the waters
formerly rose to still greater heights.
At Tahoe City the most distinct Of
these old beaches is terrace thirty
five to forty feet above the level Of
the lake, and 1t is this terrace that
makes the level ground on which Ia
hoe tavern is built.

BRITISH MUSEUM GETS GEMS
Sir Arthur Herbert Church Bequeathed
Rare and Valuable Collection to
Famous institution.

For many years the late Sir Arthur
Herbert Church devoted himself to
collecting precious stones, with the re-
suit that when he died he had one Of
the finest collections in Great Britain.
Whatever speculation may have arisen
as to what would become Of the col
lection has been finally laid to rest by
the announcement that it has Just been
given to the British museum. Sir Ar
thur was long the president Of the
Neurological society and in his ex-
ploration work discovered several new
minerals. The collection consists Of
more than 200 stones, mostly mounted
in rings, and every specimen unique.
Sir Arthur devoted his attention par
Hcularly to the products Of Ceylon and
for many years was able to secure the
pick of the rarer species of gems that
came to light there. To the mineralo-
gist the pride of the collection is a
magnificent aurora-red specimen Of
spessartite, variety Of garnet that
seldom provides stones large and clear
enough for jewelry purposes. Weigh
ing over six karats and beautifully cut
In the modern fashion, the stone stands
practically alone in the literature of
gems. In addition the collection in
cludes the most varied series of zir-
cons in existence, and there are also
excellent assortments of tourmalines,
topazes, emeralds, opals and spinels.
The opals include two fine stones of
Jet black color.

FISH FALL UPWARD TO DEATH
Some Deep Sea inhabitants Construct
ed to Withstand Great Pressure,
Come to Surface by Accident.
U IL M TT %
2GlO Washington St.
Adv. 81

Perhaps the most curious accident
that can befall any of Gods creatures
Is the strange death sometimes visit
ed upon deep-sea fish. They seem to
reverse the ordinary law Of grayita-
ton and literally fall upward, just as
land creatures fall downward, unable
to halt their tumble.
The pressure of water in the depths
Of the sea is tremendous and the Crea-
lures which inhabit those regions
have bodies so constructed that they
can swim at ease in this burdensome
element Now and then one will by
accident stray above the strata Of wa
ter in which it lives and arrive at a
height whore the water pressure is
greatly lighter. The gases within
them and their swimming bladders
then expand and they become as
though filled with gas.
For a certain distance the mus
Clcs can counterfeit this balIOoning
tendency and 1t can fight its way back
to safety and comfort, but the mo-
ment the fish gets beyond the limit
and the muscles become ineffective,
it becomes helpless and is borne up
ward to the surface of the ocean by
the continually expanding gases.

Polite Literature.

When "A History Of New York" by
Washington Irving, appeared in the
Christmas season Of 1909, it made a
tremendous sensation, according to
Hamilton Wright Mabie. 1t was greet
ed with a chorus of laughter or with
shouts of denunciation.
To satirize the Dutch families of
that time was to lay an irreyerent
hand on the social ark; and a decade
later distinguished citizen of Dutch
descent described it as a gross car
feature while Scott wrote to Henry
Brovoort that he had been reading it
aloud to Mrs. Scott and two ladies
who were guests, and "our sides have
been absolutely sore with laughter
1t was not a great work, but it was
the beginning of what used to be
called polite literature" in this coun-
try.
From the hour of it's publication
American books began to be read
abroad, and the literary idea and at.
mosphere found a home in the new
world.
