INFANT DEATH RATE
SHOWS INCREASE


Washington's infant death rate has
increased per cent since 1916. The
number of deaths Of babies under 1
year OF age in 1916 was los thou
sand. In 1913 1t dropped to "a Last
year it jumped to more than Ito a
thousand.
OF course Washington, even with
the present increase, Is doing better
work in saving its babies than 1t did
from 1906 to 1910. The average death
rate for infants from 1906 to 1910 was
ISL a thousand. From 1911 to 1915
there was a decided improvement, the
average for those years being lis a
thousand.
From the figures presented by the
New York milk commission, New
York City proper does far better than
Washington toward saving the lives
Of the babies. The record for New
York last year was only ninety-one
deaths of 1-year-old infants for each
Loo born

EACH RACE HAS GHOST FORMS
Natives of Various Countries Have
Own ideas-Japanese Christ
Looks Like Japanese.

Each race and country has it's own
way OF expressing ghostly ideas and
forms. This is clearly seen in the
case OF Tengu, whose form in India
is quite different from that assumed
IN Japan. Even the japanese Christ
looks like japanese, and the West
ern Christ like an occidental. The
dragon of China is quite diverse
from the same species in Europe,
and also again different from the
dragon of India. The forms which
ghosts take are usually somewhat
above nature, if not at times rather
unnatural. It is probable that the
many-armed Kwanon, or Goddess Of
Mercy, was once grotesque form,
but gradually assumed more az
tistic form under the influence of
religion and art. The subject Of
ghost-literature and ghost-form il
an endless one in Japan and no
doubt if proper research work were
carried out, some interesting fea-
lures of its evolution would be re-
vealed.

CORK TREES IN CARDINAL.

Cork trees are indigenous to Sar-

are to be found upon the mountain
slopes in the northern part Of the
island. The crop is cut every nine
years. The process Of industrial
production is comparatively simple.
The dried-out bark in its cylin-
drical form is first thoroughly
steamed and fattened out under
pressure. 1t remains in piles for
about thirty days and reappears COW
cred with blue mold. The bark is
then carefully scraped on both sides
and cut into strips corresponding in
width to the varying lengths of the
cork shoppers desired. These strips
are cut by hand into cubes. The
cubes are put through high-speed
finishing machines, which round of

DOGS MUST EARN LIVING.

An Eskimo dog has hard lot. In
the first place it has to earn its iy-
ing by drawing sledges. In the next
place, food is SO scarce that dog is
usually hungry, often hungry
enough to eat its harness, or indeed
any bits Of skin and leather it can
find. To prevent this, the men rub
the leather cords with tar. But in
order to live at all an Eskimo dog
has to fight its way. Whenever
there is pack Of dogs together they
fight. The weak ones are driven
away or killed. The strongest and
fercest one, who can thrash any or
all the others, is known as the "ding
dog" It has the best place upon
which to lie and its choice of the
food.

US that one of the most amazing

OF these delicate creatures, like 1

wind is favorable.
Their stamina and endurance are
extraordinary, and although some
fall exhausted into the sea the bulk

includes many beautiful specimens,
and as an illustration Of their pow
ers of endurance, it might be men

MEETING OF BIRDS.

Pelican bend in the Missouri
river, near st. Charles, Mo-, is the
scene Of a great annual gathering Of
pelicans. There is big fat bar in
the river there which has endured
far beyond the usual span Of a bars
existence in the treacherous, shifting
current of the Missouri. This bar
is the semiannual place for vast
focks of pelicans that migrate from
south to north in the spring and
from north to south in the fall. Per
sons who have observed their habits
claim that they invariably arrive at
Pelican bend on September 4 and
remain until cold weather sends
them south.
