Duration of Life.
A European statistician has pub
lished carefully prepared figures of
longevity which tend to throw a
rather remarkable light on the rela
tion, first of progress, and secondly
of climate, to the duration of life. It
would appear that Germany, with a
population at the time of 55,000,000,
counted less than SO centenarians, or
In the ratio of .' to 700,000; that the
ratio is lower still in Denmark, where
it is one to 1,250,000, and in Belgium,
where it is one to 1,350,000, but that
It rises in Sweden (1:600,000), Eng
land (1:260,000), France (1:190,000),
Norway and Scotland (1:100,000), and
Spain (1:405,000), till it attains an as
tounding height in the Balkans, where
Roumania can show one centenarian
for every 5,000 inhabitants, Servia
one for every 4,500, and Bulgaria one
for every 1,000. The obvious deduc
tion. would be that climate is evident
ly a powerful factor in determining
the length of life, and that the Medi
terranean countries enjoy especially
favorable conditions in this respect.
The vegetarian should also have his
innings here, for 'it is the oil and
grain-eating peoples of the south that
seem to have approached nearest to
the secret of immortality. It is in
certain parts of the Balkans that Elie E
Metchnikoff found old age to flourish,
and ascribed it largely to the prevail
ing diet of fermented milk. But it is
alsd obvious that centenarianism
varies inversely with the scale of
civilization. There is, however, the
cheerful reflection that longevity also
seems to vary inversely with the A
scale of literacy, and that perhaps
statistics in Servia are not kept so
carefully as in Germany. Tchaikow
sky's music may not be the only me
dium in which the Slav imagination
utters itself.
Washington of Lincoln's Day. ft
Dr. Johannes Rosing, who was at- et
tache to the Bremen and Hanseatic d
legations at Washington during the t
civil war, and who later became con
sul general of the North German Con
fed'eration at New York, publishes in b
the Weser-Zeitung extracts from his d
reminiscences, dealing rather inti- ii
mately with condiiuons in \Vasliinlgton ti
nimediately pIrecedfing the first Lin- I Si
coin inauguration. The federal capi
tal of the time, he remarks by the
way, was hardly thu present, bti 'iialt
"city of mauni :icent di aniicea'." Ti
streets, whicd were unpaved, and as a c
'ule undIlanl d, were a llhabitat for't
dnm.-et:c anin:! - of all dscrilptions. b
except after a heavy rain, when thty t
remlinded Lord Lyons, the iBritish d
minister, of the tut :id flood of Fathle:
Tiber. On one occasion a horse and d
its rider were drowned on Pennsylva
nia avenue, and a like fate almost
overtook the Italian minister on his
way home from the second inaugura
tion of Mr. Lincoln. The coach fell 1l
into a hole and was wrecked, and the 9
minister was saved only through the 11
devotion of a negro, who plunged to +
his rescue and carried him out of
danger on his back, Aeneas-like.
The Universal Language.
An interesting Canadian writer has
been looking up the matter and finds
that English is coming into such wide
use that before long our tongue may f
be regarded as a world language. e
Certainly the figures he gives are c
sqggestive. Summarized, they show
tiat from 1800 to 1900 the number of
persons speaking English increased
from 20,000,000 to 135,000,000. or 575
per cent.; French, from 34,000.000 to
4o,000,000, or 41 per cent.; German,
from 35,000,000 to 70,000,000, or 100
per cent.; Russian, from 30,000,000 to -
90,000,000, or 200 per cent.; Spanish, i
from 30,000,000.to 45,000,000, or 50
per cent.; Italian, from 18,000,000 to
3~2,00),000, or 77 per cent., and Portu
guese, from 8,000,000 to 13,006,000, or
62 per cent. The absolute accuracy
of these figures may be open to some
question, but there is no doubt as to
the remarkable gain in the English
speaking population of the earth. And
the United States furnishes the larger
proportion.

SCHMITZ' NEW MOVE
EFFORT TO GET CASE OUT OF
JUDGE DUNNE'S DEPARTMENT.
TRIAL IN ANOTHER COURT
Argument That the Mayor Wants
Speedy Hearing Separate and
Apart from Ruef.
San Francisco, Cal.-A new move
has been made by the attorneys
for Mayor Schmitz in the indictment
case. Notice has been filed with the
district attorney that they have moved
that the presiding judg.. in the supe
rior court transfer the mayor's case
from Judge Dunn's department to some
other department. The motion will
be argued before Judge Graham to
day. The arguments Schmitz advances
in an affidavit attached to this mo
tion are that he wants a "spei'dy trial"
separate and apart from Ruef. )
The Reason Stated.
The affidavit states "that by reason
of the eartiulalk: and lire of April,
1906, and the revult 110 r 4f, anl of the
recent heavy rain,, t aid (ity and
county is in a most dlephrahle conli
tion, and the affiant should. therefore,
be permitted to have an immediite
trial so that h, may, as mayor, imnne
diately devote himself to alleviating
said conditions and perform the other
duties of his office."
The Japanese controversy and other
matters are referred to as requiring
the mayor's attention.
The mayor's attorneys filed docu
ments demanding severance of all
legal relations between Ruef and
Schmitz as far as the five extortion
indictments are concerned, but made
no verbal argument.

apparently without provocation, at an
early hour, David C. Schnell, a board
of trade operator, calmly entered his

police. His victim, 15 years old, was
Robert Thies, who was delivering pa
pers in the vicinity of Schnell's home.
Schnell told the police that le heard
footsteps behind him, ahd thought he
was about to be robbed. He aid not
wait to see the result of his shoot
ing, he said, knowing that it would
arouse the neighborhood. Schnell was
was released on $25,000 bond.

El Paso, Tex.--Immigration officers
have succeeded in arresting five
Japanese below here, at Fort Han

and all have been deported to Mexico.
Some had previously been rejected by

under pauper classification, hence their
deportation. Nine Japanese applied
for admission at the immigration b.u

Pueblo. Col.-A special dispatch
the Chieftain from Las Animas, Col.,
says: Lawrence Leberg was lynched
here for the murder of Henry Laven

forty men entered the jail and easily
overpowered the sheriff and two other
officers, and locked them securely In
a room of the building.
Then the men went to the cell oc
cupied by Leberg, struck the shackles
from his limbs, and took him from
the jail. They formed a procession
and proceeded a short distance from
the jail and hanged Leberg to a tele
graph pole.
Before the mob reached the jail
Leberg heard them coming. He arose
from his cot, dressed himself, and
coolly awaited the coming of the
avengers of Lavenmeyer's death. The
leader of the mob made no effort to
disguise himself', and it is declared that
the ringleaders are known to the jal
officials.

PORTO RICAN TRADE
FROM LESS THAN $4,000,000 TO
OVER $40,000,000 IN 9 YEARS.
A REMARKABLE GROWTH
Of the Island's Trade, 87 Per Cent
Comes Here and 86', of Its Pur
chases Are from U. S.
Washington, D. C.--The story of
the remarkable growth of trade be
tween the United States and Porto
Rico is told in a statement issued by
the bureau of statistics of the depart
ment of commerce and labor. It
shows that the commerce between this
country and its island possession has
grown from little less than $4,000,000 in
1897, the year Lefore annexation, to
over $40,000,000 at the close of the
present year. For the ten mouths end
ing with October the business be- I
tween the two countries amounted to
$35,830,083. Of this ahmount the Unit
ed States sent to Porto Rico $16,509,- 1
946 worth of merchaildise, while Porto
Rico's trade with this country reached
a total of $19,320,132.
That a very large proportion of the
trade of Porto Rico is with the Unit
ed States is indicated by the fact that 1
87 per cent of the islanl's trade comes
here, and of the total merchandise en- 1
tering the island 86% per cent is from
the United States. Of the principal
articles forming this large and rap
idly-growing trade with Porto Rico,
the chief article of growth is sugar,
then follows coffee, fruits, in the ship
mnents from the island, and flour, rice, I
meats, dairy products, cotton goods,
manufactures of iron and steel and i
miscellaneous manufactures are the
shipments from the United States to
Porto Rico.

FACTS ABOUT FIGURE NINE.
Professor of the Occult Has Added a
New Wrinkle.
Mathematicians have juggled with
the mystic figures 3. 7 and 9 for ages,
and now comes a foreign "professor"
of the occult science to tell fortune
by "the force in a simple numeral"
the 9. He reminds his victims that it
they multiply any number, short of a
decimal, by 9 the two figures of the
product added together will make 9.
Thus: Nine times 2 are 18, and 8 and
1 are 9; 9 times 3 are 27, and 7 and
are 9; 9 times 5 are 45. and 5 and 4
are 9; 9 times 6 are 54, and 4 and 5
are 9; 9 times 7 are 63, and 3 and $
are 9; 9 times 8 are 72. and 2 and t
are 9; 9 time 9 are 81, and 1 and 8 are
9. He might have added that any
number in the hundreds of thousands
multiplied by 9 will g:re a product
the sum of whose digits is a multiple
of 9. Take at random-9 times 546
are 4,905, the sum of which is 18, and
9 into 18 goes 2 times. Take 7,353
multiplied by 9 equals 66,168; the sum
of the digits is 27; 9 into 27 goes
3 times. Oh, there Is an immensmm
amount of fun in 9.
MADE THEM ALL LAUGH.
Book Must Have Been Funny, but Ne
One Knew What Is Was.
It must have been a very fhny
story! The type looked funny from
across the aisle of the car, the pie
tares looked funny, and the youun
lady who was reading it doubled up
in fits of stifled laughter every few
minutes. The young man in the seat
with her could not help stealing a
glance at the pages of the book which
was evidently so funny, but whose
cover was carefully doubled back out
of sight, and soon he began to laugh
as he unblushingly followed the stork
page after page, shaking with sup
pressed merriment.
The woman in the seat at right an.
gles became interested and looked
over the girl's shoulder. Presently
her face broadened into a grin and
soon she was convulsively shaking.
The man in the seat across smiled at
the scene. A boy a few seats down
the aisle grinned symnlathetically. A
darky still further don showed all
his white tketh. The contagion spread
until the car was nearly on the verge
of hysteric:, when( the lair reader got
up to leave o leave the train, yet no one but
the girl herself had any idea as to
what the book was.
