DE MOtu Pr0prio.

They arrived at Adriutha two
day later in a roaring downpour
Of June rain. A maid conducted
Slvette and Diana to their room,
a valet piloted Edgerton to another
wing of the house devoted to
bachelors quarters, over the vast
billiard room.
At the eastern end of the house
Silvette stood beside the window
while the maid assigned to them
undressed her. Diana, already in
her pajamas and sandals. lay flat
on the bed. one knee crossed over,
swinging her slim. bare foot and
looking out at the rain.
Tea was presently served. Sill
vette in her silk lounging suit
came over and seated herself on
the edge of the bed; the maid fin
ished drawing the bath, and re-
tired until again summoned.
Well" sighed Silvette, pouring
the tea, here we are. Di. How do
you feel about IL now?"

honey, or corn syrup, instead OF sugar

Eminent Astronomer and Authority
ON Subjects of Scientific

NOME interesting thoughts are
suggested by the report OF
the Census Bureau that
while the expectation of life,
both among men and women, in
most cases has steadily increased,
there is no indication OF any def
mite lengthening OF the span OF
life. In other words, while almost
all classes of persons are living to
an older average, the limiting age
OF human life does not seem to
have increased"
This conclusion. which may ap-
pear surprising. II not. indeed, self
contradictory. TO some readers, is
based upon studies OF the returns
of the last three censuses, namely.
1890. 1900. and 1910. Most persons
have been aware that individuals
were living longer, and have prob
ably assumed that what was true
of the individual and Of classes OF
individuals was likewise true OF the
whole raCe-or at least so much
of the whole race as has been
brought within the sphere of mod

THE new capital of India is now
being built just south of Delhi.
Although Delhi is the site of many
ancient capitals, the present city
dates from the reign Of Shah ia
han, the greatest of the Mogul

when completed will cover approx
imately $4,000 acres, and will
house more than $4,000 people
connected with the administration
of the imperial government. A
