On a hot day last summer an eX-

New York came to jOlting halt, says

first joked, then grumbled then grew
impatient. A big man, white-haired,
but youthful in motion, climbed down
from a chaircar and marched up to

a ring Of passengers.

In effect, the engineer said that the
engine had quit and he didn't know

The big man peeled off his coat and
waistcoat and rolled up his shirt
sleeves. Then he sort of disappeared
in the interior of the unwilling engine
and the ring OF watching passengers
grew.
Half an hour later he emerged with
a smudged face and grimy hands, and
said, she's all right now," put coat
and waistcoat over his arm and
walked back to his chair car, wiping
his hands on handful of waste he'd
picked up in the cab.

LONGEVITY ON THE DECREASE
University Professor Thinks It Is, and

Prof. Raymond Pearl of Johns Hop

probability extending through a histOr-
ic period Of two thousand years, ar

Romano-Egyptlan to the present day
offer statistical proof The theoretical
explanation Is that in early times, with
less provision for the protection of
babies and infants, only the more rug
ged pulled through. Nowadays with
increasing care for childhood, the weak

sounds plausible and may explain the
apparent decrease of longevity. Incl
deutally his statistics brought out the
fact that while women formerly had
less expectation of life at all ages,
this has been reversed--anOther blow
to the tradition of "the weaker sex"
Women now appear 20 have the great

Looking Ahead.

Here Is new Northcliffe story
from THE Mirrors of Downing
Street" The eminent editor had a
caller who raised his hat and made a
profound bow to the elevator boy as
the two men, Northciiffe and his
friend, went up to the editors rooms.
When they came down the friend
again raised his hat and bowed low to
the boy. Northcliffe demonstrated with
him.
"You shouldn't joke with these
boys" he said. 1T makes discipline
difficult"
"Joke!" exclaimed the caller. Good
heavens, wasn't joking. How do
know that tomorrow that boy will not
be the editor of the Daily Mail?"

Edouard Belin, the inventor of
photography by wire, said at "a din

"Of course, the transmission of

could not put it into practice So
nothing much came of their work, for
an inventors hackers insist on the
prompt delivery of the goods.
IAN inventor can't treat his back

his sitters. One of Whistler's sitters,

portrait. Finally she said:
Now, Mr. Whistler, you've been
at work on this portrait of mine a
very long time. When will 1t be fin
