The last report OF the bureau
OF vital statistics OF the depart
ment OF commerce discloses some
remarkable facts relative to the
causes of human mortality and
also furnishes some interesting
testimony concerning the value
of modern therapeutic methods,
particularly in the matter OF the
prevention and control of those
diseases which have long been

HOW THE AEROPLANE
FINDS THE SUBMARINE

The war of aeroplane against
submarine is the greatest novelty
of the present conflict. 1t has
required considerable experiment
tation to arrive at the best meth
Cd OF finding the submarine, when
submerged for the observer in the
aeroplane cannot rely upon his
naked eye alone.
The aeronaut uses something
like telescope with the end di-
rected downward. 4 mirror be-
fore his eyes shows him all that
is passing beneath. Should he
fly very close to the water the
range of vison becomes very mar
row, for the space under the tele-
scopic eye is proprtionate to the
distance of the aeroplane from
the surface of the water.
In other words, the higher an
aeroplane flies the more he can
see, because his field OF vision is
in proportion to the height al
which he flies. For this reason,
ltish aeronauts when searching
for submarine prey fly rather
high, and thus cover a wide space
of the sea as they sweep over it.
There is another advantage in fy-
ing high The observers in the
submarine cannot see more than
a shadow when they are sub
merged and the high-hying aero
plane casts no shadow as the low
flying one does.

scourges, tuberculosis. The death
rate from this disease, which IN
1000 was 2oI.9 per one thousand
OF population, has now fallen 10
l16.9. a decrease of more than
twenty seven per cent. Consld-
ering the altogether battling ma
tnre of the disease this showing
Is really remarkable and speaks
volumes for the value of the mod
ern methods of treatment.
Pneumonia also shows a SUBJ
stantial decrease as the rate has
fallen from 1905 in 1900 to f27
last year or a decrease OF 53.5 in
each hundred thousand popula-
ton. Typhoid, up to few years
ago. one of the most dreaded OF
the so-called durable diseases
shows a decrease of more than
90 per cent in the same period.
The greatest results, however,
re shown in the case OF diphther.
"a as the percentage OF deaths re-
,ulting from that disease have
ALLEN to considerably less than
one hall since 1900.
On the other hand, those types
u diseases which have their orr
gin in organic defects OF deterior-
alton have shown advances OF
considerable proportion. Heart
disease, Bright's disease and a
number OF others have increased
10 such degree as 10 practically
offset the gains in other direc-
tons. Deaths from acute nephri-
It's, cancer and other malignant
tumors and also nerve disorders
all show large increases over the
figures Of earlier years, Appop-
lexy and diabetes also sho"
marked increases, The most
prominent feature of the report
is the disclosure that, while the
number OF deaths from the
diseases incident to the youthful
periods Of life have fallen off in
a most remarkable degree, there
has been marked increase in
the death rate from disease Incl
dent to middle age. While there
has been immense improvement
in some respects and decided
decrease in the number of deaths
from several forms of disease that
have at all previous periods TAX
Ell a great toll OF human lives, the
death rate from other diseases has
greatly increased Two theories
are advanced to account for this
elusive nature as to provoke ar
abundance OF argument and som,
sharply defined differences o
opinion.
The first theory is that tn,

SuDar,is )rS Meet.

The meeting of the supervisors
on Monday last was an important
one and attended by large num-
Der of citizens, both from town aud
county.
1t had been previously fixed as
the date for considering the pur-
chase of steam roller for the
county, and so we'll do manufac-
turers watch up these matters, that
no less than seven firms had repre-
sentatives here.
This matter came up in the af-
ternoon, the statesmen being ad-
mitted and heard one at a time,
after which advocates of the pur-
chase were given opportunity to
address the board. 1t was finally
decided that the board would
meet again next week, at which
time definite action would be taken.
The terms and prices made by
several of these gentlemen seemed
reasonable aud fair, and it is gen
orally understood that the board
will give the matter favorable con-
sideration.
Other matters of great import
ance we're taken up at this meeting,
all of them bearing on road I'M
provement where it is soreiy needed
Commissioners were appointed to
report on new locations for the
Vanderpool Gap road and for that

ranged for, citizens directly inter
ested volunteering free labor in this
preliminary work.
