WEEKLY DATA ON MORTALITY
Statistics Of Principal Cities Now Is
sued Regularly by the United
States Census Bureau.

A weekly circular giving the mortali-
ty statistics of the principal cities of
the United States is now issued regu-
larry by the United States census bu-
reau, says the Scientific American. 1t
gives the total number of deaths re-
ported (stillblrths ~excluded), the death
rate per thousand, number of deaths
Of infants under one year of age, and
the proportion of infant deaths to total
deaths.
The cities for which data are given
include one-ffth the population of the
country. Thus the circular is a fairly
accurate index to the state of the ma
TONS health. It's uses are manifold.
1t will show local health authorities
how their home towns stand In com
parison with other towns In respect to
mortality and when a town has a bad
record the publicity given to the fac
should spur the authorities to seek the
aus and remove 1t. Insurance com
panies will find the reports Of interest
The circular is issued In Washington
every Tuesday, and is distributed fre'
of charge.

Light and Thought

Not all thought is travelling. The
supposition that when n thinks OF
the noon ones thought travels to the
moon is a mistake, for the thought Is
formed In the mind and remains there.
The time taken to think of anything"
declares a writer, occupies some
small fraction Of a second. Light
travels" at the rate of about 10000
miles a second. and If 1t is thought
which travels in what is called tele-
patty 1t would have to travel at the
same speed because ether, the medium
which transmits light, would also
transmit the brain vibrations that &C
company thought. The ~telepathic the
DRY Of thought which travels" has
been objected to on the ground that
afte- travelling considerable distances,
such as are sometimes claimed for
telepathic communication. the brain
vibrations would be 81 diffused and
weakened as to make no impression.

SEND ROBERTS
TO THE SENATE

We consider 1t opportune, at this
time, to give expression to our choice
for the next United States senator
from Nevada, and without the slight
est hesitation we recommend that
Congressman Ed Roberts, who is the
logical Republican candidate, be re-
turned to Washington in that capacity.
1t is not out of order to record that
Congressman Roberts has been an
able. tireless worker; that he has
never yet failed to respond to a call
from the people of his state.
Not long ago the writer had occa-
sion to call upon Mr.. Roberts to lend
his assistance in the matter of re-
establishing the mail route between
Carson City and Glenbrook. The re-
suit was an immediate response to
the letter, stating that the matter had
been attended to and that he would
keep at 1t until the route was again
established" This is a comparatively
small matter, considering things as
they are in Washington now. but he
found time to attend to it. Yesterday
we were informed that the department
had taken the route matter up with
parties 1T Glenbrook and that the out
look was very good. They wanted to
know the advantages, the approximate
cost of the service, etc. Looks as
though Roberts is keeping at it."
This is only one of many instances
that has been brought to our attention
where Mr.. Roberts has proven that he

Cactus Candy.

Louisiana sugar cane planters have
evolved a plan for manufacturing
candy from the spineless cactus. In
the process the peel Of the plant is
removed, dipped into hot molasses
and coated with granulated or pow
dered sugar. The result is a confec-
ton Of rich and delicious flavor.
SO successful have been the expert
ments with the new sweet that cane
planters are now growing cactus,
which formerly was utilized, when
used at all, for cattle fodder. Planters
can In this way furnish plenty of raw
material for the new product.
Another important result in the
making OF what some enterprising ad-
vertiser may call "kaktus-kandy,"
says an exchange, is that sugar mills
which have heretofore been idle for
nine months in the year can now use
part Of their equipment In the candy
manufacturing industry.

REINDEER OF THE FAR NORTH
Herd Of Animals Imported Several
Years Ago From Labrador Have
Greatly Increase in Numbers

Though perhaps most Of US, young
and old. associate reindeer chiefly with
Santa's juggling bells, still there are,
besides the dear, familiar phantom
reindeer, the very real reindeer who
are serving a very real and much
needed mission among the people of
the far North. among whom DIR. Will
fred T. Grenfell works and lives his
life of brotherly aid and uplift, Mary
NJ. Davis writes In Our Dumb Animals.
About six years ago Doctor Grenfell
imported from Labrador a herd of rein
deer, number about 400. which during
their six years In Newfoundland have
increased to somewhere between 700
and 1000. The idea of bringing them
from their native Lapland was sug-
gested to Doctor Grenfell by the great
abundance of reindeer moss In New
foundalnd. The reasons for the ex-
pertinent are many and far reaching.
The reindeer are valuable, not only
for their rich and delicious milk
which would be a boon indeed to the
jewellers of that northern part of New
~foundland In which Doctor Grenfell
works-but also are invaluable as
beasts of burden. In every way they
are as well adapted to the require
ments of the North as are the Komatik
dogs, which In many ways are an alb
solute menace to the development OF
the country.
