A SIGHT FOR SPEED ? Seven automobile speeders we morgue by Judge Charles L. Bi victims of reckless driving. Jvdj reckless drivers of the automobi and preached a sermon to the nough to make them drive carefi WATERS OF THE EARTH Most Important and Abundant Element in Nature. Water is both a necessity r.nd a luxury. We cannot do without it. We drink it, we waph in it, we swim in it end we sail on .it. It is everywhere about us. Water has not changed with the passing of centuries. Like air, it is vitally associated with the life of man, .writes Charles Xcvers Holmes in Science and Invention. Water is everywhere about us? upon the terrestrial surface, beneath the terrestrial surface, in the air. Upon the terrestrial surface there are, of course, five great oceans, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Antarctic and Arctic. These five great salt water bodies ap-. proximate a total area of 140.000.000 square miles, with an average depth of 2 1-3 miles, or a total volume of about 326,000,000 cubic miles. Adding to this the amount of water in la ies and rivers, the total volume of salt and fresh water upon the terrestrial surface approximates 327,000,000 cubic miles. There is a great deal of water beneath the terrestrial surface. There is water in the soil and there are underground streams. However, in all probability, neither the soil nor these screams are very ueep. it is ^ -1 j likely that there exists extensive reservoirs of water underground, hut it is unlikely that the comparatively small amount of water in the soil, and in underground streams and reservoirs, would appreciably increase the vast amount of water upon the terrestrial surface. And likewise the water vapor in the air is hardly to be considered in estimating how much water our earth possesses. It is true that our atmosphere extends to a height approximately 300 miles, hut most of its moisture lies below a height of about seven milos. However, the water both beneath the terrestrial surface and in the air adds something to the estimated 327,000,000 cubic miles of water upon the terrestrial surface. Accordingly, we allow for the additional water beneath our earth's surface and in its air, rs well as to correct any possible underestimation of the amount TITLED ITALIAN VISITC ill ^ Hi * i Marchesina Cristina Casati. wl tor the King of Italy, arrived here Bhip Majestic. ERS TO REMEMBER, WiI :re taken to the City Hospital and irtlett of Detroit, where lay the ?e Bartlett is striving to curb the le city. He attended an autopsy ; speeders, who apparently saw ally in the future, | of water upon the terrestrial surface, ; an estimate # of the total volume of water which our earth possesses ap! proximatcs 330,000,000 cubic miles. Now, let us see what 330,000,000 cubic miles of water really signify. The total surface area of our earth ' is about 197,000,000 square miles, and, therefore, were our earth's surface wholly uniform, all of the water possessed l>v our world would completely cover it to a depth of about 1 2-3 I miles. Jf all of this vast amount of water should ascend into the air and then descend to the terrestrial surface in a doiugc of rain, falling everywhere at the rate of 25 1-2 inches a day, which is reported to have once descended upon a region in India, such a terrific rain would fall continually upon our earth's surface for more than eleven years. If the Missouri-Mississippi River system were the only river in the world, and were this system to pour its waters into a reservoir vast enough lo contain all of the terrestrial water, it would take, . under conditions of maximum discharge from the Missouri-Mississippi, about 6,700 centuries to fill that reservoir. And if all of our terrestrial water were to descent! upon New York City, not draining off, it would inundate that city under a flood approximating a depth of 1,000.00b miles. Alcohol's Toll.?Nothing is more cold blooded than the statistical report of an insurance company regarding what kills human beings. Such reports are uncolored by propaganda and untainted by any desire to "make a showing." T'Y%rw /Iao 1 io for.ta Thnv nffor nr? vr m - edies and advance no comment. Because of these impersonal af tributes they offer fair basis for interesting: speculation hgw to lower the mortality rate, says the l'eoria Journal| Transcript. The statistical bulletin of a la rye insurance company, which is at hand, offers some interesting: comparisons for the first nine months of 1922 with the entire twelve months of 1921. The first nine months of this year have been remarkable in that policy holders in the company have been exceptionally healthy. The report takes up the decline noted in mortality from )R TO UNITED STATES. ' 111"^ ^ in . " j tone father Is the Master of Hounds as a passenger on board the steam CAUGHT BY COBRA Animal Dealer Tells of Highly Unpleasant Experience. The king cobra had to be moved into a new box. He was a very-wild snake, and whenever his captor approached him the cobra beat its head against the wires of the cage. As this cage was only a shallow box made of flimsy, decaying boards and covered with a wire netting, and as the snake was the largest cobra on record, measuring 12 1-2 feet, it seemed expedient, to put It mildiy, to give him a better home before shipping him from Singapore to New York. So the animal dealer, Mr. Frank H. Buck, as he explains in Asia Mairazinc. had a handsome box made of teakwood with a plate-glass top, and when this was delivered at Yew Kce's compound, where he was keeping the snake, the task of changing the cobra to his new quarters was undertaken. Yew Kce and two of hfs Chinese assistants, and Beni Chee, Mr. Buck's Malay "boy," who were helping, were standing in the center of a narrow cement passageway that ended blind against a wall. On one side of the passageway were a number of wooden crates containing timers; on the other side were some fish tanks. One of the Chinese assistants picked up the old box, and just as he cainc to the center of the passageway the rotton bottom communicable diseases. It says the year 1921 was also remarkable in this phase, but the 1922 pariod saw an even more favorable situation. Only pneumonia and measles have increased. A favorable situation with regard to tuberculosis was noted, the mortality being lower in 1922 than the year previous. On the other hand, "deaths from al'coholism, exclusive of those due to wood alcohol poisoning, numbered ?02 for the: nine months ending September 30. This is eighty more deaths than occurred during the whole year 1921. The situation with reference to deaths from violence is much less favorable than for disease. Suicides and homicides increased slightly among the white policy holders, with small declines among the colored. It is true that there was a drop in the death rnto for nil nonldpnts and that there were fewer accidental drowning fatalities; but fatal automobile casualties show a pronounced rise for white policy holders." With deaths from alcoholipm Increasing, the' need for bettor enforcement of the dry laws seems obvious.? Anderson Tribune. PROFESSIONAL CARDS Dr. C. L. WOOTEN ? DENTIST ?
