terrible death engine invented by an
italian scientist. Dazzling swords Of
fire, more deadly than are highest ex-
plOsives, followed by nnnihilating ex-

be used to form a most successful bar

The scientist is credited with hav-
ing discovered a means Of concentrate

manner as to produce the results de-

scientist was asked to burn through
three-inch plank Of hardwood. In
an instant, the writer says. the plank
was scared and broken as If 1t had
been broken by lightning.
Offcials then asked the scientist to
explode two bombs, one hidden along
the bank Of the river and the other In
the bed Of the stream. Within ten
minutes the bomb along the bank ex-
ploded. It required a much Longer

WHAT LIFE INSURANCE RECORD.

TELL.
The Life Extension institute Of
which Prof. Irving Fisher Of Yale is
chairman, and ex-President William
Howard Taft is president Of the board
Of directors, published a report of the
actuaries Of 43 American life insur-
ance companies covering a period of
Is years from 1885. showing the in
creased mortality of moderate users Of
alcoholic liquors. These records were
kept without any reference to the pro-
hibitiOn issue, and reveal that:
!. Very moderate users Of liquor
increased their death rate by 1S per
cent over the normal rate.
2. Moderate users of liquor with an
occasional excess, increased their
death rate by so per cent over the
normal rate.
3. Those who drank more than two
glasses OF beer or more than one glass
Of whisky per day and yet were con-
sidered acceptable standard risks for
insurance, increased their death rate
by SO per cent above the normal rate.
These three classes of insured mod
crate drinkers increased their mortal
ity by an average of 81 1-3 per cent.
The death rate recorded by these
companies includes only men suffi-
GENTLY temperate to secure a life in
surance policy. II we add the thou
sands Of heavy drinkers who cannot
get life insurance the death rnte from
liquor will be largely increased.
The comparisons in this report are
with the average mortality Of all in
sured men, including the users Of
liquors. II it had been made with the
total abstainers the difference In NOR
tally would have been even greater.
