Diaeatte* resulting #rom living con* ditions in the north art* taking a heavy t<?ll of ncJfVoes who havetabeen enticed away from the south by labor agents with extravagant i^nnist-H of high wages. This report receive*! in southern cities from Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland and other northern cities has heen .verified by heads of negroes insurance companies who at ate that they have been called upon to pay an unusually large number of death claims on negroes who have migrated north and that the percent age of deaths among their policy holders who have moved north ?s far higher than among those who re main in the south. Alarmed for the safety of large numbers of members of their race educated negroes are seeking to halt the exodus from the south ? by in forming the ignorant negro laborers of the dangers facing them when they go north. After a tripp to the north where he personally investigated con ditions, warning was sounded by Hen Davis, editor of an Atlanta newspa per for negroes, and secretary of a negro fraternal insurance Organiza tion, who urged the educated negroes to gjxow the members of their race the folly of blindly accepting the 'state ment of the labor agents who are paid ? * ? i k f so much a head for the^negroes they (an sign up. His statement follows: "Kven worse than the northern climate in its efTecPon liegroes who have always lived in the south, are [the living conditions in the big in dustrial cities to which the negroes are ??going. One house I visited in Philadelphia had six families living in it when it was intended for only two. Many others are crowded into tene- i mcnts so thickly that proper sanita tion and vent illation are impossible, and diseases spread rapidly from one to another. The negro is very suscep tible to consumption and especially when lie makes a suddeiuehange to ! crowded city life after living on a southern plantation all his life. Some of the negroes are coming back from the north, but they are coming back in coffins. 'The ignorant negro doesn't real ize that the industrial boom which is attracting him to the north is only tempaorary. Maybe the common la borers can make higher wages in the north just now, but tin; cost of living is so much higher he eats up what he makes, and when the temporary boom is over he is going to be out of a job and stranded in a country where he hasn't any friends. It is the duty of the educated negro to help the white pople in telling the ignorant negroes the dangers that are ahead of them when they pick up and leave the south."

Areae Which 8how Poorer Crops Be lieved to Have Been Protected From the Ice Floee. Farmers living in the fertile valley Of III? Middle West muy uttrlbute their rich crop yields, fat uwloe and excel lent butter tu tiie fact that mere than 50,000 yearn ago their acrea were cov ered with 100, says ao Associated Preaa dispatch fruiu Chicago. This is the gist of the tludlng of Prof. William 11. liaas o f the geology do* partment of Northwestern university, who has made a study of the subject, concerning his observation* upon Ohio. Comparing the glaciated section of tlte continent and the drlftless area Professor Haas found that t lie soils in the two differed. In the glaciated land the soils are more diversified and of better ?tuullty, he states. "With this asset It Is little wonder that the farmer living in the zone which aeons ago had been covered with Ice, should liud himself better off than his brother of the drlfiles.s area," says Professor Haas. " "This area covers some 10,000 sTjuare miles and embraces northwestern Illinois, a small part of Iowa, .southwestern Wisconsin and Minnesota." The geologist, in explaining the ac ' tion of the ice and why that portion. of the earth's surface tnTrched-fry-lt should ? j-It-ItI to man an abundance of 'crops, said that the pressure exerted by the glaciers r?o,tM h > years ago crushed the rocks and mixed the dirt as they rolled stun hward ; hence the many soils. "It is remarkable," said Professor Haas, speaking of Ohio, "to notice how, suddenly, the tail corn will end and be neighbored bv stunted stalks and shriveled ears. "All this is on account of the fact that hundreds ?vf centuries ago some rocks of a' particular hardness, able to: withstand the onward sweep /of the Ice fields from the North, deflected the Holds, thus leaving the area which the rocks appeared to protect, unglaclated. j That, in mv opinion at least, 'accounts | for those 10.(HX) square miles of corn- 1 | paratively poor, soli, or, as we geol I ogistx say. the drlftless area." | Pro fester Hans stated that the de marcation between the healthygram j and the sickly, stunletl grain was so distinct as to form a well-defined line | showing the boundary between the ; glaciated and non-glaciated land. Professor Haas explained that many i authorities do not hold to this view, j professing them'selves unable to ac j count for the drlftless area ; others, he | said, went so far as to question the j existence of the so-called drlftless area. I The Northwestern professor declared j- that the gjaciers accomplished three j great effects: they cut down the hills ! and filled In the valleys; they ground j up the boulders, and, thirdly, mixed ; the rocks. Transplanting Insects' Heads. A remarkable experiment lias been tried at the biological research labora tory of the Vienna Academy of Sci ences by Dr. Walt*** Kinkier who, 1ft order to solve certain problems con nected with the correlation of body and soul, cut off and exchanged the heads Insects duly narcotized. The head having been lifted out of the thorax socket, was severed from the trnnk by a simple stroke of the scis sors and transferred to another indi vidual treated In the same manner. The blood thus escaping, which, by the state of narcosis, was reduced to a minimum. Immediately closed the edges of the wound and, without any seams or other means of fixation, merely In virtue of It* natural ad hesion. kept the head in the position most suitable for henling. ?
