Something might be done with a view to prevent fires According to Science. Mr. E. Dana Dote rand, director of de if. S. census, is responsible for the eta,tement that dur- ina. the decade of 1900-10, the white population of the United States increas- ed. about 22 per cent. and the negro about 11 per cent. Thi e difference is partly due, however, to the direct or in- direct effect of immigration .of whites, in the absence of which the white would have increased aboeit 14 per cent. The census of 1910 showed that about 21 per cent of the negroes are mulattoes, as compared with about 12 per cent. in 1870, the last preceding census at which the question regarding blood mixture. was asked in comparable form. There has been no very great, migration of negroes out of the south, nearly nine. tenths of the total number being still found in that section. The increase in the percentage of the mulattoes may be gip indication of the merging of the two races.' The seventh annual report of the presi. dent and treaenrer of the Carnegie Foundation, covers the year ended Sept. 30, 1912. As Canadian universities bene- fit by the endowment it may interest our readers to know that the endow- ment in the hands of the trustees at that time amounted to approximately $14,000,000, and the income for the year amounted to $676,486, or which $634,497 wae expended. From its first pension payment in June, 1906, to the end of the fiscal year, September 30, 1912, the Foundation had distributed $2,077,814 in retiring allowances to professors and $238,590 in widows' pensions—a total of $2,316,404. In all 429 retiring allow- ances .and 90 widows' pensions have been granted, or which 98 have terminated throughscleath and 23 at the expiration of temporary grants, leaving 315 retir- ing allowances and 83 widow's pensions .in for ee at the end of the year. •••••••••••40 BITS OF WIT.

Taking the average depth of the ocean to be tiaree miles, there would be a layer of gait 440 feet thick covering the bottom, in ease all the water should evaporate,In many places, especially in the far north, the water freezes from the bottom upward. Waves are deceptive things. To look at them one would gather the im- pression that the whole water travel- ed. This, however, is not so. The water stays hi the same place, but the motion goes on. In great storms waves are sometimes forty feet s high and their Crests travel fifty miles an hour. The base of a wave (the dis- tance from valley to valley) is usually considered as being fifteen times the height of the wave. Therefore, a wave twenty-five feet high would have a base extending 376 feet. The force of waves breaking on the shore is seventeen tons to the square inch.

TRENCH'S REMEDIES, UR, 410 St. t , 1 I WATCH THE BOY. (Chicago Tribune) There is no doubt that keeping a child close to one's apron strings and away from rough and tumble play may make a "sissy" out of him. Many a mother who rues the want ofcharacter and manhood In her grown up- son is herself partly- if not largely responsible for this condition. By persistent hemming and hedging in the child she has prevented him from acquiring strength of character, stamina, and manhood.
