Chance. in Child Life

81. Fl. Moore's "Public Health in
the United States" states that it is
difficult to say whether chance IA
vOrs the child destined to live in
the crowded city or the child who
spends his life in the fresh air Of
the country. 1t is known that for
1910, the average length Of life in
the country was fifty-six years,
while in the cities it was slightly
more than forty-nine. However, the
length of life in cities in the regis
tration area appears to be increas-
ing somewhat more rapidly than in
the rural districts. Death rates for
such diseases as tuberculosis, can
Ger, heart disease, etc., are higher
in the cities. On the other hand,
surveys of school children have
shown that those in rural districts
have more teeth, tonsil and adenoid
defects, malnutrition and breathing
defects; it is also true that the city
schools have the best health service.

Danger Turks in Waters
of Norway's Maelstron

The Maelstrom is a famous but
overrated whirlpool off the north
west coast of Norway between Mos
kenas and Mosken, two Of the Lotto
den islands. It is more properly
strong current than a whirlpool, as
serts a correspondent in the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
This current flows alternately
six hours from north to south and
six hours from south to north, and
especially at the changes produces
angry whirls, which may sometimes
be heard for several miles.
The strait is navigable under or
binary weather conditions, either at
low or high tide. During a north
west wind the passage becomes ex-
ceedingly dangerous, and few craft
attempt to cross it then, since the
currents are then strong enough to
inundate a small vessel or toss a
larger one against the rocks.
The depth Of the water, once sup
posed to be too great for soundings,
is only little more than 100 feet.

but a waking up, a development
of latent powers, growth of the

you shall have your reward in the
rich stores of knowledge you have
thus collected and which shall ever
be at your command, more valuable
than material treasures. While

Raccoon's Feet Are Like
Human Foot: Likes Fight

The raccoon comes from a winter
sleep when other wild life begins to
stir. And he Is as thin and "hun-
cry as a BEAR" for he Is a relative
of the bear. His baby-feet tracks
may be found in the mud along
streams; there is his hunting
ground.
Crayfish, frogs, fish, snakes, small
turtles, and mussels make up his
early season diet. Fruit, corn, wild
birds, and the farmers poultry fol-
low In season. The coon lives along
some stream where he may handily
dip his food In water, as If to wash
1t clean before eating It.
Coonskin coats are popular, and
so the raccoon Is much hunted for
his beautiful fur.
He is clever in his ways, and
quite tame. Woe betide the dog
that expects to master him without
a fierce struggle! The two black
eyes of Brother Coon are proof
enough that he enjoys a free-for-all.
The racc0on's feet are humanlike.
He can climb like a monkey, and
he can grasp a roasting ear with
the best Of us.-Indfanapolis News.

The First Sewing Machine

The first sewing machine was
probably made by an Englishman
named Thomas Saint, who received
a patent on July II, 1890. Thomas
Saints patent was discovered with
in recent years by a searcher
among the patent archives of the
British patent Office, where it had
lain unnoticed for almost a century.
Isaac NJ. Singer, in 1851, patented
a sewing machine having a fixed
overhanding arm and a vertical
needle, but his most important con-
tribution was the presser foot with
q yielding spring.

Mediterranean Cork-Oak

Cork shoppers are cut out Of the
corky layer Of the bark Of the cork

mean. Spain and Portugal chiefly
supply the world with cork.
The cork tree is not Of great
size, generally 20 to 60 feet high,
the trunk often three feet In diam
eter, much branched, with ovate-
oblong, evergreen leaves. The tree
is usually twenty to twenty-five
years old before it yields a gather
ing of cork, and attains an age Of
one hundred and fifty years. About
every eight to ten years a crop Is
taken from the tree.
Besides being used for shoppers,
cork is much used for floats Of
nets, life-belts, ets., and because

LETTERS

June 10, 1895.
Mr.. Cecil E. Newman, Editor.
For the past four weeks I have fol-
lowed with a great deal of interest the
courageous, fearless articles that have ap-
peared in the columns of your paper,
written by you and many of the sub
scrlbers to your paper, condemning the
unfair methods and tactics of the Twin
City brewers by continuing to refuse to
give employment to members of our race.
l can see no just and valid reason for
any manufacturer or jobber refusing en-
ployment to law abiding citizen because
the applicant happens to be a man of
color. In fact, there is no sensible and
sane reason for such discrimination.
The author has operated various bust
nesses in the city of Minneapolis over
period of Is years, and at no time
during this period has he refused to give
employment to an applicant upon the
ground of color. In fact, I always keep
mixed personnel in and about my place
of business, because I solicit business from
all people. So often I am asked by my
neighbors, how do the colored and white
boys get along together as employees. My
answer is 20. K" In fact, see many
advantages by working mixed personnel.
But, we should not lose sight of the fact
that there is only one effective method
through which we can force the discrimi-
mating employer to listen to reason: That
is, to concentrate our buying power and
spend our money with those firms and in
situations that give employment to MEM
bers of the race. It has been done and is
being done in Chicago, Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh, and many other central and eastern
cities very successfully, and I cannot see
why the colored people of the Twin Cities
cannot employ this practical method for
breaking down and destroying such dis
criminatory and un-American practices.
Sincerely yours,
MARTIN BROWN.

Theories Concerning Cosmic Rays

Theories Concerning Cosmic Rays
There are current three tentative
theories concerning the origin and
nature of cosmic rays. The most
inspiring and philosophically or
spiritually significant Of the three
is that the rays result from the for
nation of heavy atoms in interstel-
lar space, a process which perpet-
ually re-creates the universe, and
will prevent it from running down
like clock. Thus adequate knowl-
edge of the rays may contribute to
a solution Of the riddle Of the uni
verse.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1935-06-21

what we experience in the city.
One difference that I want to
emphasize is the character of the
water. In the city, as you know,
the water you use in your home or
about your garden and lawn is es-
pecially prepared by chemical and
physical processes. These process
ses are necessary in order to pro-
vide clean, clear, bacteria-free
water that may be used with great
est safety. The necessity of this
is evident. The sewerage which
passes into the river from which
our water supply comes, contains
many germs. There are many dis
eases which can be propagated
through this source. Typhoid few
er, especially, was spread and is
spread in this way. The small in
cidence of this disease in the Twin
Cities, as we'll as in most north
ern cities, is due to the excellent
filtering systems used in prepara-
ton of water for home use.
When you get out in the coun-
try, you see, all this cannot be done
for you. It, therefore, behooves
you to first investigate the source
of the water before you use any.
Under no condition should you use
water from a lake or river unless
you boil it for at least fifteen min
utes first. If there is a pump from
well there, find out if the water
has ever been tested for purity, or
how long the we'll has been in use,
or if there are any sanataria near
by. Note also if the well is placed
on a high spot to prevent the sur
face water from draining into it
when there is heavy rain.
If these few precautions are OBJ
served, you can quickly draw your
own conclusion as to the safety of
the water.
If you are going out into the
country for a short time only, you
can carry what water you need
with you, and then be absolutely
sure that you are not imbibing
dangerous germs when you drink.
