SCIENCK under the inspired leader hlp of the famous lnvenfor, Dr. - Alexander Graham Belli, has Just completed a convincing Justification of the biblical . contention that the - first born child was more Important to the world. than the younger chil dren of his parents. Dr. Bell founded -: and Is now directing the research work of the geneaologlcalj record of fice at Washington, D. C, and his A worker upon investigation of hun dreds of rases of longevity discov ered that the eldest child ion the av erage Uvea longer than do Its younger " brothers and sisters. They have pro ' duced evidence to establish the fact i ... that the first born is of superior vir ility ;and vigor. Ancient Israel was firm In this . Same belief. In Dcuteronohiy we find -.the law laid down in this fashion: "If at man have two wives, ono beloved and - the other hated, and they have children by him and the son of the hated be the first horn, and he mean ', eth to divide his substance among his aons, he may riot make the non of V the beloved the first born , and prefer .him before the son of the; hated. "But ho shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the first born and shall give him a double portion of all ' lie hath, for this is the first of his - children and to him Is due the first ... birthright." Elsewhere Is discovered: "Ami tha lord spoke unto Moses: Sanctify to - me every nrst rorn among tnc cnu flrtn of Israel as well of men as of ' peasts, for they are all mine. .. "For every first born Is mln since 1 strbek the first born In the land of ' Egypt. I have sanctified , to myself "Whatsoever Is first born in Israel poth of man and beust; they art i jii Ine. The reference to the slaughter of , the rtrat born In Kgypt is descriptive , i Dt this ancient belief, for when Pha-1 Taoh needed the supreme punishment j to awaKen him to tne power or me ' (!d of Israel he lost his eldet son. The wholesale destruction of the first born was the most Impressive lesson that Egypt received, for the first born were their choicest pos- sessions.

The ge s nealoglcal record office of "Washlng .! ton, D. C, has been collecting in stances of longevity for several years nd Its founder andd director, Dr. ' Alexander Graham Bell, has permlt . ted the Journal of Heredity to Inves tigate the data in regard to the birth 1 rank of old people represented in his . collection. mm ! r "Of 802 cases which represented In general people over 90 years of age, ' 217 were found to be first born. ' ' "It has been previously establishel . that long lived people tend to come from large families. ... .r "First born, who have sometimes been supposed to be handicapped with all sorts iof physical weaknesses from ' birth-, are relatively more numerous than any other birth rank. But tho number of Individuals In the last .. birth rank is somewhat surprising in 'View of the generally accepted belief that the lsst child of a very large ; family tends, because of exhaustion ' in the mother, to be defective and is often t an imbecile of the so-called "r Mongolian type. The last born is not ' necessarily lacking in a tough con :,: stitution -which will enable him to . ..survive for 90 years or more. "If, then, we draw a sample of long lived people from the population we would expect to find more first-born among them because the initial lncl dence of natural selection left the surviving first born more fit on the ' average than the surviving second, third or fourth born." Dr. Bell found out that elder chil . ' dren live, generally speaking, about four rears longer than the younger. - Drs. Beeton and Pearson secured 3061 pairs of brothers and 733 pairs of sisters where the interval between the births was known and further studied this question of longevity. Again It was discovered that the el der child lived, on the average, fpur years longer than the younger. These Investigators say: "Our numbers . show that on the whole earlier born , members of a family are the strong er, or at any rate fitted to survive . tb longer." v . A brother born ten years before another, brother has probably seven . years' greater duration of life; a sis ter born tea years before another sis ter ' nas prooaoly about six years greater aurauon of life, The: editor of the Journal says: "How can we square tnese results with those reported that still births r most frequent among- : the first born, that the health of the first born child during its early years is below pari Cured His RUPTURE 1 . was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago.: DoctoiS nald my only hope of cure was an on- ration.--.

Better cut ,out this notice and show it tor any oth i rs who are ruptured you may save ,a life or at least ato the misery nt f rupture and tie worrjf and danger of "Natural selection appears to , oY-' fer a satisfactory explanation at the birth of the first child the maternal mechanism Is less well adapted to its work than Is the case at subsequent births. ; Particularly in the case of middle i aged women physicians say ' that the strain to which the child is subjected at birth Is greater at th. first than at later births. The first born child is therefore more strin gently selected than are his brothers and sisters r a greater percentage of the first children die at birth. Now if we take the assumption that those who die are on the average Inherent ly weaker than those who survive the ordeal. It follows that the average of strength among the first born adults In a population would be higher than among the second or later born, not because they were, as a rank, superior physically from the start, but sim ply because a greater proportion of the weaklings were eliminated at the start." Of the 802 rases Investigated It I was established that 217 were first born, U 8 second born, 104 third born. 95 fourth born, 82 fifth born. 40 sixth born, 63 seventh born. 30 eighth born, 22 ninth born. 20 tenth born and 21 were In a group of the elev enth, twelfth, thirteenth and four teenth born. It Is doubtlessly true that the early clti7.n of the world noticed thin su periority of the first born when he had onae passed his infancy. They probably saw the first child die quite often under tho extraordinary strain which nature put upon him, but rallv and develop Into exceptional strength once he passed the danger point. They noticed that the old law of the sur vival of the fittest worked truer In connection with tin? first born than In a moist any other instance that the eldent children, when and they du ivc, were more forceful than subsequent members of the family. Also from the psychological stand- point It Is perfectly natural that tho eldest child should receive more no tice and favors than younger ones sinco it Is more value sentimentally. For. a time it occupies all of the af fections of the parents, and is al- works so quietly that, although he had ways an object or comparatively fahipped thousands of strike-breakers greater pride.

N' EW NORK Like Sheridan beating it up the Shenandoah or the hero : galloping in to rescue Sibyl for the first-act curtain, James A. "Waddell, : the world s foremost strike-breaker, . . , ' rushed to New Tor from Chicago to lift the Interborough strike or raise . the mischief. ! He and I left the LaSalle station ! in Chicago at 1 o'clock in the morn- j lng he to do it and I to tell about it I in the most impromptu special that ever whistled out of Chicago, where j a special train attracts about as much j excitement as an automobile. We started to break records. Wad dell, who took T. P. Shonts' instruc tions to "spare no expense or time" literally, distributed $300 in tips among the crew, and called "Shoot" So we shot. We, made Elkhart, 101 miles, fn just iof minutes flat, in- eluding the few slow-ups In our city limits. - But there hadn't been time to shove the regular trains off all the ' tracks ahead, so when we caught the ! 11:15 flyer, which had started an hour and a quarter ahead of us, we had to crawl awhile. We went through or by it, or over it. or under It at last and got started again. 1 From Toledo to Sandusky is 47 miles. We negotiated that from a standing start in forty-one and one half minutes, but we lost a ballast car through a hot box. That car was to cost us 15 minutes in Buffalo, where we ran into New York, which has a law that a train must carry lour cars or stand still. The three cars ahead of the private llace buggy, in which this was writ ten, were- smouched from a suburban after-theatre train, which was stand ing amiably In the LaSalle station, waiting to pull out with a line of cars, snd were not used to speed. This man Waddell. who had come to Chieago to superintend the substi tution of his nonunion engineers and conductors and firemen in the event of a railroad tie-up. had shipped about 00 of the 13,000 strikebreakers, that he says he had assembled In Chicago, to New York early the day before for Interborough service. Ie says he has, 4600 more trained men here. It was he who operated the mil lionaires' end of the Interborough walkout In 1905, collapsing it In 13 days at an average expense of about 1200,000 a day, not counting loss of business. , . But large figures do not scare him. His first Job was handling the com missary for a big New York lockout and he says he spent 1168,000 In four days there. His income during the railroad strike preparations was $65,000 a day at the rate of $5 premium per day per man furnished.

By Alfred Powers. WITH a pair of cheap scissors, a 6-year-old Indian boy on the Grand Ronde Indian reserva tion, in Yamhill county, has for nearly a year been cutting wonderful pictures of animals out of pieces of pastboard culled from discarded shoeboxes picked up in the rear of the reservation store. This little fellow Is named Samp son Simpson. He Is a full blood Indian. He has never been to school. No one ever told him to cut pictures from pasteboard. No one ever gave him any training. While boys and girls several years older than he, in city schools through out the United States, are making their first crude attempts at cutting silhouettes, guided and supervised by trained teachers who prize' this "cut-out-work'' as a form of manual train ing, "to develop the hand as a sense organ." this untutored red boy sits on his mother's doorstep and from stray scraps of pasteboard cuts sil- fwAwsvys was 1 rmm mm-mmi i ' in 1 - j If Real Artist houettes of animals that he sees about him, silhouettes full of meaning and action. Sampson does not trace his pictures. He cannot write and, bo far as anyone knows, he has no special aptitude for drawing. That old pair of scissors Is the instrument by means of which, he expresses with fidelity varying as pects of animal life and action tiie unbroken broncho backed by the wild reservation rider, the Indignant steer with stiff front legs trying to dis lodge the riotous cowboy, the fright ened fleeing rabbit the fish flipping free from the water in a curve which city children might think unnatural or even impossible, the hog, fat and obstinate, the lamb, - the turkey, the rooster, the dog, the squirrel. The rider of the broncho leans forward; the rider of the steer leans backward; In each instance to give him a per pendicular position, for the horse is "rarin" with his forefeet and the steer with his hlndfeet. He cuts no silhouettes that do not show action. Nearly all his outlines have knees and ithe kneees are generally bent. Sampson does not know that he Is doing anything out of the ordinary. He is Just a stolid, taciturn Indian boy, little more than a baby, dividing the limited advantages and accommoda tions of his home on the reservation with six brothers and sisters. Two brothers, eldest born, are dead of con sumption, the scourge of the Indian. His future is uncertain. Meanwhile, too small to be concerned about It or to know what lt means, - he occupies himself for hours at a time clipping sheep and bogs and steers into being ftom the pasteboard that he has gath ered about him. Sampson's outlines are not imitations and the habit of making them is not Imitative. He did not acquire the practice from watching -other children. He did not know that little boys and girls in a thousand schoolrooms were cutting silhouettes. Unconscious of any ex ample or any fellowship, independ ently and by his own discovery, with a child's natural desire to express the world about him in some form and with 'facile hands to make this form possible, he began making silhouettes : somewhat longer than a year ago, when he was only 4 years old. His dark face is set in Inanimate demeanor, the corners of his mouth are turned .down, bis tongue is gen erally silent. He is stolid and unso ciable. He is but, little trouble to his mother. He simply asks the boon of her scissors . and spends - the - long hours by himself. .... - - -.i - Sampson's, . methods, though un trained and self-discovered, might for that very reason contain something of pedagogical value ' to the primary teachers of Oregon. Sampson's way is the natural way. It Is self-appointed busy work that needs no variation. It is play, but It Is not objectless play. It Is an occupa tion that absorbs his attention for hoars. He becomes interested In a rabbit or a turkey or he sees a pigeon light with elevated -wings. An aim is thereby born." Forthwith: he want to make a silhouette. No matter If his mother is using the shears. She reaches out her hand where she laid them down, but they are gone. He is never at a loss for a sueject. He never has to figure to himself, "What shall I make a silhouette of?" All the resources of the reservation world We at his command. A dozen animals simultaneously nod for him to go ahead. He goes over and over his handi work, clipping alterations. He takes pride in his silhouettes, though often nobody sees them except himself. To little Sampson Simpson there Is only the intrinsic Joy of making. There is only the leaping up of his own artist heart. . , Tests by scientists have .

Street at Waaalaxtoa By Ellwood Zatroduoer of Aaaliaa Coprrlgkt. lOis, by THIS is what happened in the re- search laboratory of one of the well known electric companies. Of course, they encourage Invention, as their methods will show. They em ploy men at good salaries as Inventors, and new ideas are also welcome from any one In the establishment. In fact. Invention is made as easy as possible. In what follows we shall discuss only such as originate within the laboratories- without reference to new Ideas that come hi from outside sources. The process with these Is similar in many respects. Suppose you are one of their engi neers, or physicists, or chemists, and It occurs to you that something might be improved or done in a better way by means of a new device or arrange ment You then tell the chief of your department of the pregnancy of your mind. These chiefs and their assist ants are a select body of men, whose positions are much sought after by men of science, because of the inter esting nature of the work and the agreeable associations connected with them. "Have you thought out the Idea?" the chief Is likely to ask, and your answer will probably be that you would like to think about It a little more. You may take as much time as is necessary, or, if you are ready to talk about it now, you may tell your story. Then a good draftsman, who is exceptionally quick at freehand draw ing, is turned over to you. By the time you have finished talking to him you have a clear picture on paper of the idea you have In mind. If the picture seems about right and to confirm your ideas. It is next turned over to the drafting room, a general design is worked out and drawings of the various parts are made. These In turn go into a model making shop, and there a working model Is produced. Then you have your device, and you've had the least possible trouble o whip it Into its first shape. But, no mat ter how well you are. pleased with it, or how well you have tried it out, it next goes to a group of devil's advo cates. These young men are trained in finding fault, and they have keen eyes for defects. After they have tried to kill the Invention and failed, it is test ed out. This is no simple test. It must not injure or work to the ineffi ciency of other instruments, and it must not get out of order. During this time it is likely to be amended and improved in various features, so that the last design is different from snd better than the first Then it goes to the manufacturing shops, and here It meets more trouble. There Is sure to be complaint about the expense of manufacture, or one difficulty or another, and amendments and changes are proposed, so that when the new factory model reaches the In ventor he may hardly know his child.

The device is Joggled, and shaken, and rapped, and hammered under all the vicissitudes of contact and strain, and Is subjected to all the sorts of Injury that It can possibly meet. This continues until the poor thing is worn out. They keep at " until it breaks. Of course, all this abuse is studied abuse; It 'Is the qual ity of hardship that It ta bound tp en dure in time, somewhere, If it comes into general usei It is wilfully de! stroyed In the exercise of Its functions, which Is a vefy different thing from ruthless destruction. And 'right here In answered one of the most Interesting questions: "Which part will give way first?" After a number of instruments have been used up In a similar manner. Its weakness Is strengthened until the whole thing, like the deacon's one-hoss shay, goes Into general dissolution at Its break ing point. If It is to be used out of doors. It Is further tried out In humid ity and dryness, and heat and cold, and shifts of temperature up and down, and subjected to all t the things that happen in all sorts of' weather. Finally the laboratories are satis fied and the factory Is ready to pro duce. Then It goes formally to a body of consulting engineers, who consider It In all Us details. If any one con ceives a new fear about It. back Lt goes to the laboratories to withstand testB to meet the new objects. Then It comes before the chief engineer, and at his order a number of samples are sent out in a field test. If this Is fa vorable, the device Is adopted and lt finds Its way Into use. This is what'we might call the tech nical career of an Invention. Every effort Is made to get the Idea born; every help Is given to the Inventor un til he Is delivered of his thought. Then every aid Is given to get It Into work able shape; there are skilled designers and draftsmen at hand to pull It through the troublesome times when little difficulties may kill It. It is carried and helped through all the tribulations of infancy until ft can Btand alone and profess to do Its work. Then come the hard knocks and stresses and strains and wearing down of actual service. The severe rule of standards of the establishment Is that quality shall never go down, and that every change shall be an improvement. And yet these Inventions are constant ly adopted. Very like a human career, Isn't ltT Every time In the last half century that a census has been taken It has shown an Increase in the percentage of urban dwellers In England and Wales, and a decrease In the propor tion of rural residents.
