CYCLES OF LIFE AND DEATH
Interesting Speculation Concerning
Possible Composition Of Cor
PoreaI Atoms Of the Body.

Did you know that perhaps some
where in your body is a bit of julius
Caesar, or perhaps King Solomon.
John Phin, scientist, in his "Seven Fol-
lies Of Science" says: ''From birth
to death we have been continually bor-
rowing, continually paying back. Part
Of our physical organization may have
come from the fruit of the tropics,
part from the MOSES Of the frozen
North. We may hold in our bone,
muscles and brains materials which
once formed parts Of sheep, wolves,
and in all the millions Of years dur
ing which composition and decompo-
sition of organic matter has gone on,
it is quite probable that some portion
Of our physical system may have FORM
ed part of the material organization
Of thousands of other animals, men in
cluded. The imbecile may have In his
body atoms which once formed part
Of Homer, of Plato and of Archimedes
In the frame Of the beggar may be
built material which once formed part
of Solomon, and some atoms which
enabled Alexander or Bruce to achieve
their fame, may now form part Of the
body Of a lazar. Even among the
corporal atoms which now make up
our own bodies may be particles which
helped to incarnate the person Of
Jesus Christ, or which lent physical
energy to the burning eloquence Of
st. Paul. Organic life has gone on
increasingly for untold ages in ever
recurring cycles We cannot move a
muscle, or give way to an emotion, or
even think a thought without burning
up some part of our corporal frame,
and the used-up material is speedily
elected and then transformed into the
clothing Of q new life"

strsdiyarius VioIins.

Stradivarius was born in 1914 and
died in 1877. He worked until he was
over 80 years of age and turned out
a large number Of violins and violon-
cellos. Altogether it has been esti-
mated that about one thousand violins
are attributed to him and about three
hundred other instruments, among
them different kinds of viOls, some bass
viols and also some lutes, guitars and
mandoras, very exquisitely wrought.
Eugene Ysaye and Jan Kubelik are
both the owners Of genuine Stradiva-
RUS violins. The label in a genuine
instrument is supposed to have been
made Of paper.

The Fighting in Haiti.

= =
one Of the first things that
should be done is the holding of
thorough and impartial inquiry
into the operations of the United
States marines in the island of
Haiti.
The United States government
has been in practical charge of
affairs in the seaport towns of
Haiti for something over five
years. Marines were originally
sent to that island at the earnest
solicitation of the most respectable
people in the island. Before the
marines came there seemed seri-
Gus danger of a dissolution of
civilized society. Armed rob.
bers, many of them savages,
were roaming the island, killing
and burning at pleasure, and it
was with the greatest difficulty
that the authorities in the towns
managed to repel the destroyers.
The warships came. the marines
were landed, and, almost in the
twinkling of an eye, the situa-
tion changed. Banditry, if not
put down, was driven back into
the interior, commerce was re.
sumed, the laws were enforced,
and Haiti, which five years ago
stood on the brink of an appall-
ing disaster, has enjoyed a period
of real prosperity.
1t was charged, however, dur
ing the Presidential campaign,
that the American marines have
been much too free with their
guns during these years of occu-
patton. This was at first denied,
but some color to the accusation
was afforded by an official state
ment of Major General Barnett,
late commander of the United
States Marine Corps, that $3.50
natives have been killed by
American marines and Haitian
constabulary in the past five
years. General Barnett, we
gather, has grievance, but that
does not alter the fact that his
statement calls for a careful in.
vestigation.
The figures presented to
Haitian casualties are somewhat
confusing. In the first place the
number of fatalities has beenre-
duced from $3.50 to 2,25O. the
statement being made that there
was IAN error in addition" in
the tables prepared for General
Barnett. Well that is somewhat
of an error, and the remaining
tables are hard to understand.
1t appears that in all five years
of police work less than 600
Haitians were killed outside of
one serious engagement. when
the bandits attacked Port an
Prince, and lost, according to
one table, over 200 men. But
another report shows less than
ninety Haitians killed in that
fight. There are indications that
somebody has made big mis-.
take. Perhaps it was Genera
Barnett. In any event, an in
quiry by the Navy Department
will bring out the truth. Louis
