Prominent Educators Inter-

According to Plain Facts. the lead

deeply interested in the subject Of ade-

Of men engaged in highways construc-

indicated as a result of answers to an
inquiry sent out by the educational ex-
tension bureau Of the Department OF
Interior recently.
Answers have been received from
many of the leading universities from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and arrange

Deaths Harvea-Increase and Decrease

Physicians say that the increase is due
to the excessive "drive'' of American
life. The strain to which the heart is
subjected is too great.
ut is the same way with apoplexy,
the death rate from which has risen
steadily and fast during the last twenty
years. And the cause is the same. A
blood vessel breaks in the brain, and
there you have it. Four people will die
of apoplexy this year for every three
that succumbed to it in 1900.
Again, it is the same way with
kidney trouble. Bright's disease will
kill four this year for every three that
died of it in 1900. Too much drive;
too much strain. Heart and kidneys
work together; what affects one will
almost surely affect the other.
Three people will die of cancer this
year for every two that succumbed to
this fell complaint in 1900. As killer
it is gaining ground much more rapidly
than heart disease. Already it destroys
nearly half as many lives as the latter,

Scene of Mark TWQin;S First Story

THE setting of MARI Twain's first
: story was the little back yard of the
tiny dwelling on Hill street, Hannibal, !
Mo. The yard is so SMALL that it looks
like q couple of horse blankets would
cover it. Between a couple of little coal
and storage houses are the steps Lead
ing to a platform, and opening on this
platform was the door to Sans room.
It is said this door was cut and the
back steps built according to the speci-
fchtions Of Mrs. Clemens, whose pur-
pose was to afford Sam d night en-
trance in>a way to avoid explanations
with the somewhat strict father, Squire
Clemens. Sam and Jim Wolf, q printer
boy, occupied the room for which such
careful preparation had been. made for
strategic entrance. Parmelia, Sans
sister, was giving q candy pull one cold
night to a. crowd of her girl friends.
The tiny yard was sheltered BY a fragile
grape arbor. When the girls ha& pulled
their candy sufficiently they laid it out

your other self that looks on and criti-

IL was a ghost. Jim got up and
moved as fast he could with pieces Of
candy. sticking all over him. and got
back to where Sam was awaiting him.
""say!" he cried; that blamed arbor
wouldn't hold me up!
"Well," drawled Sam, "you was
wanting some of the candy anyway; I
guess you got it,"
That was Mark Twain's first fuhny
story. He told it around HANNIBAL,
Mo-, but it wasn't until he went out
west that he worked it up into a real
yarn and sent it to some eastern maya
zine for publication. When the jump

try realized that there was a new hui

THE coming census will s~trikingly
= show how, while the death rate from
some diseases has greatly fallen: off,
it has steadily and rapidly risen from
certain other maladies during the last
few years. y
Most noteworthy is the fact that
heart disease has leaped to the front
as the foremost cause of mortality in
the United States, taking in this re-
spect the place formerly held by tuber-
culosis. M
There are now as many deaths from
heart disease in this country per 1000
of population as were attributable to
tuberculosis twenty years ago. In the
meantime mortality from the latter
plague has So far lessened that. fewer
than sixty persons die of it where it
killed eighty in 1900. But heart dis:
ease takes nearly eighty lives. today
where in 1900 it destroyed fifty. :.
Heart disease fifty years ago was a
, relatively rare malady. 1t has now
become exceedingly common. Why?

But cancer is a problem all BY itself.
Nobody knows what causes it, 7or why
it should spread and increase in the
way it does. 1t is a total mystery
which makes it all the more horrible.

so diminished that only one person will
die of it this year for every four killed
by it in 1900.
The death rate from diphtheria has
Ndeclined by two thirds during the same
period owing to the use of a specific
a%ntitoxin. Pneumonia has just about
held its own. 1t is a disease hard to
deal with, frequently following measles,
or flu or other sickness. Commonly
its germs are present in healthy mouths

The Garden of .

And a river went out of Eden to water
the garden; and it was parted into four
heads Genesis. .
Sir William Willcocks, who, in be-
half of the British Government, had had
charge of the wonderful irrigation
works in Egypt, was assigned not long
ago to the duty Of planning a similar
large-scale enterprise for the restora-
ton of ancient Babylonia to it's former
agricultural productiveness.

the reasonable satisfaction of .archeolo-
gists, the veritable site of the Garden

cal, he thought that the best way to

Starting from the spot where Jew

four, streams mentioned in Genesis,
which, as therein named, were the
Pison, the Gihon,~ the Hiddekel and
the Euphrates.
The Euphrates (known by that name
