TESTS vlGoR OF BANK ROLLS
Majority Wither Quickly, but Some
Grow Robust When Exposed to
New York's Climate.

New York has long been known IN
the provinces as the nesting place OF
bank rolls. In this nest either they
grow or they die young. A bank roll
is a sensitive plant, as 1t were, being
influenced quickly and permanently
by climatic and diplomatic changes.
Nothing can become discouraged more
quickly than q bank roll In New York.
and nothing can gain satisfied and
prosperous maturity more quickly II
1t gets the right start, attends to itx
own business and keeps away from
strangers.
Generally speaking, would recon-
mend this town as the best health re-
sort for bank rolls in the world. Some
bank rolls come here In the full view
of perfect health, with perfectly nor
NAL chest measurements and waist
lines suited to their age and immedi-
ately go into a decline which no
science is able to stem. They seem to
be victims of the old-fashioned disease
known as galloping consumption.
Others come here In a very fran
state OF health, puny In fact, and By
fudicious exercise take on weight and
require larger and larger belts. Gin
cumstances alter bank rolls.--Roy K

Scorpions a Plague in Arizona.

The repulsive scorpion, which looks

a member of the spider family, is very

sting is in its tail. It stings by throw

up and forward over the back, and
striking forcibly with it, the curved
spine or sting being driven with suffi-

spiders are more or less venomous, and

There was also the case Of a child.

the doctor made an injection Of sub
stance called adrenalin.
The result Of this treatment on the
child's heart, which had ceased to beat
for four minutes, was that 1t imme-
diately began to beat again ana the
patient made a perfect recovery.
There is also on record the sudden
dropping dead Of woman of thirty;
In other words, she would have been
left for dead by the ordinary prac-
titioner, for she was pulseless. her
heart had stopped beating, her jaws
were set and her eyes glazed. For
tunately she was seen by doctor who
had had experience In the use Of
adrenalin. He injected a dose and
soon the woman was sitting up and

In cases where there Is no disease

organs, restoration to life Is quite pos
sible If the appropriate remedy can b
applied In good time.

Mortality of Trees

Human beings cannot compete with
trees In the matter of longevity, but
human beings are more fortunate than
trees up to certain ages, according TO
mortality tables. A forest at maturity
contains about per cent of all the
trees that have started life there. The
percentage of persons living from ten
to fifty is much greater in the case
of trees. About 90 per cent of our
trees die before they are eighty years
old. while only 81 per cent OF persons
will die before reaching that age.
But when it comes to trees 100 years
Of age and over we have to go back
into Biblical history to find human be-
ings who compare with them in length
of years. Methuselah and Noah were

and no nation has lived as long as
have the sequoia trees. The sequoia
attains an age Of about 1000 years.
