.EN6TH OF LIFE INCREASED
lot Yours or Mine, out Those of the
Coming Generation of United
States Citizens.
Dr. Victor C. Vaughn's assurance
lat the average length of life in the
nltcd States has been increased ter.
sars since 1880 makes cheerful readig.
Coming from a man who has
?en president of the American Medal
association, the information is
mbtless evnct, but it may be easily
Isunderstood. Doctor Vaughn docs
it mean that ten years have been
Ided to the ordinary man's life. On
te contrary, there are plenty of fle es
to prove that life has been cut
lort rather than lengthened from the
atlou fifty years and onward. The
-called diseases of maturity have
sen making sad havoc among our
derly men of late, and nothing has
ippened to check the loss.
The gain of ten years to which Docr
Vaughn refers has been effected
r saving the lives of children who
mild formerly have perished of pre'ntable
diseases. Each child thus
ved Increases the average length of
e, though mature persons go on dy?
g prematurely, Just as tboy did here.
Statistics are sometimes verv
lusive.
The rapid extinction of our elderly
en with the rescue of young children
em untimely death Is filling the
untry with a comparatively youth1
population. The phalanx In the
ughborhood of forty years Is Ineasing
rapidly. That between fifty
d sixty Is diminishing in proportion
the whole number. This is not as
should be. The mature man who
8 outlived the competitive struggle
r success and has leisure to serve
e public Is perhaps the most valble
figure In our national life.?

S TO THE MAKING OF PINS
-ocess Is An Intricate and Interesting
One, All Conducted by
Machinery.
To make a pin is an Intricate pro88,
but it la all done by machinery,
spool of brass wire running on steel j
sts is fed Into jaws which bite off ;
e length of the pin. A small length
left to make the head, which is
rmed by three rapid blowB of a
mmer which moves forward oneentleth
of an Inch at each blow. The
ti then drops to an incline in which i
e grooves deep enough to admit the I
ank, but not the head. As the Din !
>ves down its point comes In const
with & cylinder with a file-like
rface, which causes the pin to turn
Dund so that it ta sharpened on all
les.
It next drops into a receptable
lere a layer ot pins is placed, and
en a layer of finely ground tin until
e pan is filled. Heat and a chemical
lutlon coat the pins with tin. They
e then polished in a barrel revolving
pldly. They are placed in the pars
by a machine, which seizes the
per and crimps It Into divisions as
de as the length of the pins.
The bottom of the box is made of
uare steel bars, which allow the
anks but not the heads of the pins
pass through. The bars are In mon,
thus shaking down the pins until
row Is formed, when they are
imped in place by the bars. A fold
paper Is pushed up against them
d pressed Into place. This is rested
until the paper is full, when
other takes its place. It all sounds
xicate. but being done by machinV
it is rapid and cheap, else we
aid not have the billions of pins that

master. About the year 1200 a great
body of these slaves were sold by
Genghis Khan to the ruler of Egypt.
In 60 years they had seized the government,
assassinated the monarch
and elected one of their number to
the throne. Their government lasted
until 1617, when they were overthrown
by Selim I, sultan of Turkey, but they
continued to be a power in the army
until the beginning of the nineteenth
century, when Mehmet All had them
massacred, because no ruler could
ever feel secure on his throno as long
as the cavalry wing of his army wfcp
composed of mamelukes. Their vvry
name had come to signify the masterful
qualities that belong not to the
slave, but to the conqueror.
