PA LET IN THE WRONG NAN
sleepy Old Gentleman Admitted Eel

Not every householder would be ~
fortunate as was Jones In making a
mistake and not suffering for 1t. re-
marks a New York Sun writer. The
man he let into his apartment two
nights ago may have looked like his

may have been so sleepy or some other
way himself that he didn't know the

mistaken. And yet nothing came Of
It.
When Jones, Jr., called his father
on the phone at the latter's Office the
following conversation ensued:
Junior-Were you worried when I
didn't get In last night? couldn't
phone you that l was staying with Bill
for the night.
Jones-Do you mean to say you
didn't come home last night7
JuniOr-Why. no. You ought to
know that yourself. You were going
to let me In.
Jones-I did let you In. What are
you talking about? You got me out
Of bed at l In the morning.
Junlor-I did nothing Of the kind.
I never came in till this morning at
10. You must be seeing things.

DISEASE CAME FROM EUROPE
No Record OF, or Name for, Malaria,
Has Been Found Among tho
American indians.

The slow diseases which sap vitality
do not have spectacular records, but
In the long run the damage wnicn
they do Is incalculably greater than
that of epidemlcs, writes Herbert j.
Spinden in the Worlds Work. Malaria,
for instance, is greater obstacle to-
day to the development of the tropics
than yellow fever ever was. although
the latter could accomplish much at
one fell swoop. For one thing the
effects Of malaria reach around the
globe and into nearly all Its habitable
parts.
The three kinds Of malaria are de-
scrlbed by the Greek physician Hip
pocrates and the names which we
use today are Of Roman origin. The
-two-day fever Is called tertian. or
third, because the Romans counted
both ends OF any numerical sequence.
and the three-day fever is called qunr-
tan, which means fourth. There Is
no good evidence that malaria ex-
listed in America before the discovery.
We do not find terms for it in Ameri-
can Indian language nor do we find
any records that the early explorers
In Central and South America suffered
from this disease. For instance Cortes
led an army across the base Of the
peninsula of Yucatan. through a re-
gion of swamps and flooded streams
where today malaria is rife in every
village yet we find no mention OF this
Illness among any Of his troops or In
dian burden bearers.

CAN GO LONG WITHOUT FOOD
Healthy Human Being. Drinking Pisn-
~ Of Water, Will Survive Fast
Of Forty Days.

Some weeks ago pig disappeared
from its sty on Cornish farm. Search
was made, but the creature could not
be found, and was given up for lost.
Twenty-four days later a man pass
ing an old mlneshaft heard something
below, and made search. There was
poor piggy. some thirty feet down,
quito unhurt, and 1t was speedily got
out.
1t was thin. but otherwise not a bit
the worse, and at once started feeding
ravenously. says London Answers.
1t takes a long time to starve fat
pig. which can actually lose half its
weight before 1t dies. Most full-grown
animals can go without food for long
time. and can lose as much as two
fifths of their weight before succumb-
Ing. An exception Is the mole, which,
when deprived OF food. starves to death
in less than 4S hours.
A healthy human being can fast 10
days II he or she takes plenty Of wa
ter. A case Is on record Of . wom-
an going 43 days without food. during
which time her weight decreased from
l43 to 30 pounds.
Children cannot fast for long with
out fatal consequences. They collapse
after fast Of three to five days, and
lose quarter Of their weight.
Snakes. OF course. are the champion
fasters. The big python In the ZOO
recently went more than two years
without meal.
