Cannot Slant! Rigorous Climate of
The Noi;th.
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."

DUE TO GLACIERS
Professor's Explanation of Rloh
ness of Mid-West Soil.
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. ? Scientific

Wifely Supervision.
"I dunno why women want to nag
so," complained Mr. Wotnbnt.
"What's w ronir now?"
"There's always something wrong.
Either I'm home too lute, or I'm home
too early. Maybe I got dandruff on
my coat collar or soup on my vest.
It's this, that and the other. My wife
is always finding some flaw."
"Thvv mean it for our good, olfl
man," advised his sagacious friend
"A wife wants her husband to appear
at his hesf To keep him so Is a labor
of love "
"Will it always be that way?"
"I fear so. Even if you were an
angel your wife inlL'ht well find a
