Atlantic City, June 7--"A wave of degenggacy ks sweeping: the = land and: its development threatens physical vitality of the nation," de cleared Dr. T. Alexander MacNicholl, of New York, former surgeon of 'the New York Red Cross hospital, who was sent abroad by President Ropee- veil 'to investigate the subject of al coholism and parcotics. "Within 8 period of fifty years the population of the United States jn. creased 330 per cent., while the num- ber of insane and fechbleminded in creased 950 per cemt., according to the regent census, practically all - of which mm due to the chrorfc and ex- cessi®e use of alcohol in one form or another, and narcotics," he said. " racy is shown in the lessen- ed fertility of the nation. In five years the birth rate in the United States fell off thirty-three and one- per cent." Back of all the cause for this harming condition, asserted the sufgepn, who was addressing the American Medical Society, the study of alcohol and narcoties show that alcohol is the chief degenerative fac- tor, . "A degencracy so appalling in mag- nitude," Dr. MeNichol continued, "that it staggers the mind and threatens to destroy this republle, numbefing more victims than have beeu slain in all sculs diseases that have swept the country within two hundred years.

Statistics co-a- som- ! and presented by Sir T. B. | Whitaker in a report to the British parliament, show that out of every 1,000 deaths among the population at large, 440 are due to alecohd, This would mean a mortality from alcohol in the United States of 650,000 a year.

A defective germ cell cannot evolve a normal body; this is the reason that we find a farge percentage of functiomal and organic diseases among the children of drink i rents.

"Our studies of school children show that one in every three is men- tally deficient. I this percentage holds good ' over the entire country there are seven million children of a school nge that are mentally deficiént, and less than 67,000 of these are from hereditary aloohol taint. "Three out of five school children are afflicted with some functional or organic disease. If this. percentage holds good there are 13,000,000 child- ren of a school age that are afflicted with functional and organic diseases, and less than two and a ha millions of these are free from hereditary alco- hol taint. A nation half diseased and half well cannot live, but here we show three-fifths of the rising gtmeration mentally and physically diseased." Liquid Air a Wonder. Leslie's Weekly. As a ryotive power for operating au- tomobiles and motor boats, liquid air is superior to the electific storage battery, since it requires no tedious waiting for the process of recharging and it delivers more than double the power of the former, with half the weight. Gasoline is not in the same with liquid air, for the latter emits no noxious odors nor is there any danger of explosions. As a refrigerant there is no source of cold like liquid nf class air. . Other than ing. automobiles and serving as a reirigent, there is hardly a thing the human mind ean think of that liquid air cannot do, from providing a magical entertain- ment to the production of continuous power. Yet there is lacking a pro- cess by which it can be produced cheaply enough to compete with other sources of motive forces now in use.

TIGERS AS FOES. -- Dwellings Must be Erected High in the Air. Strand Magazine The ordinary Malay house is built nm posts from five to seven feet high, but one which 1 came across was serched high up in a tree. It was the home of a man, his wife and family, and they informed me that it was placed in this unusual situation so as to be ont of the way of the numerous tigers which then infested the neigh »orhood As tigers have been known to jump eighteen feet in vertical height, some- where about twenty feet is considered fo be the limit of safety. The Malayan house is a frail and Mimsy structure of sticks tied together with rattan, thatched with palm leaves, and walled with plaited bam- hoo or, as in this case, with the bark of trees. It is, therefore, an easy matter for a tiger, with its great strength, to break into a house and attack the inhabitants. Many instan ces of this have been recorded in Ma laya. In one well-known case a whole fam- ily were killed except one man, who, climbing up into the roof and thus escaping the notice of the tiger, was a horrified" observer of the cruel mauling and ultimate slaughter and devouring of his relatives.
