Female of Species Is
Tougher Than Male

Nottingham. England.-Sex is
equally distributed among Britons
only in young people; between the
ages of fifteen and nineteen the
numbers of boys and girls is ap-
proximately equal. At earlier ages
there are more males, later females
predominant.
This seesaw of the sexes, and
what il means biologically, was dis
cussed here before the meeting OF
the British Association for the Adj
vancement of Science by Prof. F.
A E. Crew, noted biologist Of the
University of Edinburgh.
In word, the female of the spe-
cies is noticeably tougher than the
male. Men, boys and boy babies
all tend to die off faster than their
sisters.

years later, Bienville set up the city
of New Orleans in the wilderness. Its
site was slightly higher than the
swamps to the north and south, COM
manded the river, yet was far enough
inland to escape hurricanes.
Moreover, 1t had two waterways to
the gulf. One led down the winding
river. The other through Bayou st.
John to Lake Pontchartrain, thence
through Lake Borgne to the gulf.
The Chevalier la Blond de la Tour.
Bienville's engineer, surveyed New
Orleans. laid out the streets. and the
old section still bears some resem-
blance to that which they hewed out
Of the forest. The street names still
impart an early eighteenth century
flavor: Chartres, Royal, Bourbon,
Dauphine. Burgundy. Bienville, Cont,
st. Louis, Toulouse, Dumaine. st. Peter,
st. Ann, st. Philip, Orleans.
But the very year, that New Orleans
was founded, the river rose and filled
the streets, converting the city into
q New World Venice, with each city
square blocked OF into an island.

could an Indian. The Fidalgo de-
scribed the next events In this man
ner:
80 soon as the death had taken
place, Luys de Moscoso directed the
body to be put secretly into q house,
where 1t remained three days; and
thence 1t was taken at night by his
order to q gate Of the town and buried
within.
1.-THE Indians who had seen him
Ill. finding him no longer, suspected
the reason, and passing by where he
lay, they observed the ground loose.
and looking about, talked among
themselves.
This coming to the knowledge Of
Luys De Moscoso, he ordered the
corpse to be taken up at night and
among the shawls that enshrouded it,
having cast abundance Of sand, it was
taken out in a canoe and committed
to the middle Of the stream"
And thus De Soto went back to the
great river he had found, q river that
was again at Spring flood, bearing
great logs down to the sea.
Crossing Spot Disputed.
Where De Soto crossed the river has
long been . matter Of dispute. Some
say he found 1t In Tunica County,
Mississippi. Others say Memphis.
Tenn.
The Spaniards came and went. For
another century the lower valley was
undisturbed by white men. Father
Allouez, in 1866, was next to see the
river. Then came other Frenchmen,
Marquette, Joliet. La Sale, De Tonty,
Hennepin. Iberville, Bienville.
La Sale penetrated to the mouth
Of the river. travelling from upstream.
In the fiat lands, filled with marsh
grass and canes. he set up within
sight Of the Gulf Of Mexico a cross
claiming the land for the King OF
France But later, when he at
tempted to find the mouth of the
river and sail into 1t from the gulf, he
missed the stream and wound up near
the present site of Matagorda. Tex
And the next French to come to the
mouth of the river found that the
floods had carried away his cross.
