Not far over he border, for example, lies a region vhere life Is still lived by white setters under pioneer conditions, and, is says a recent traveler, the "pioneer !armers in the Yaqui valley have to ive in forts and carry guns for proaction against the Indians." Here are still wild American aborigines, a horde >f about 20,000 of them, classified as :he Tarahumare Indians, who live in ?aves, worship woodpeckers, and are :or the most part dountiess as ignorant of the United States as If Columns had not sailed from Europe .The land Itself is unquestionably an asset :o the future of Mexico, once the present troubles of the nation are over. >ut, except for the pioneer farmers md the growth of a few mining towns, he "land of Nayarit" remains much is It must have been when Cortes was conquering another part of the country. In its promise of agricultural produce and mineral wealth it Is said to be one of the richest regions in the svorld, but so far "Its only roads are lie winding cow-trails made by cattle in their way to water holes. Not a jingle railway crosses it from east to svest ; and one line only splits it from Nogales to Mazatlan. Vast areas of the interior are practically uninhabited except for lonely huts here and there in canons or near water holes." Ind the United States is only a day's ride away across the Texas border.

EENTZ, JE., C; Not Many Claiming to Be Over One | Hundred Year* of Age Can Prove It Sea serpents being out ofdate, and "wild men" somewhat exhausted of Interest, there comes the recent story of a Kentucky man who celebrated the ' 181st anniversary of his birth by taking j his first motor car ride. When a report of this sort Is Investigated It usually Is found to lack ! proof. Some years ago, at a meeting of the Actuarial Society of America, Its | president, John K. Gore, said: "The well-known cases of Individuals com- ! monly believed to have lived a century and a quarter and even much longer j have not in any Instance been veri fled." | There Is usually temptation to exag gerate the age of extremely old per- | sons; often they do it themselves. Not very Jong ago a man in England, interested In the study of human longevity, offered $5,000 to any man or woman living at the time who could prove that he or she was 100 years old or j more. There were hundreds of claim- ; ants, but in no case was irrefragable proof submitted. A In point of longevity, women are fair ahead of men, generally speaking. They are more resistant to diseases | and they live longer. And yet women are called the "weaker sex." So they , are, muscularly, but it Is maniresr tnai they are the stronger sex constitution- ; ally. They possess what biologists : terra greater "viability"?a superior ability to survive. ' I MORGAN NOT ALWAYS HARD \ Great Financier Proved He Had Kindly Heart as Weil as a Keen Business Mind. There Is no better test of a man's ( bigness than his way of handling subordinates who make mistakes. J. Pierpont Morgan, the elder, had a | cleric who, living beyond his means, ! sought to make up the balance through j speculation; and, having failed, helped j aUDSeil 10 me nrm ? muucj. The culprit was called into Mr. Mor- .. *an's private office. He expected arrest. Instead he was | 1 told to go home and tell his wife all j ibout it. "And tomorrow morning," | 1 said Mr. Morgan, "see me again." The clerk obeyed, and Mr. Morgan, ; ' to the young fellow's amazement, 1 1 landed him in bills the full amount of \ ' lis peculation ? $5,400 ? with: "Put i * :hat back where you took the other j 1 "rom. It is a loan from me, and I ex- j pect you to return it as soon as you ?an. None of the other clerks know j inything about it.

' . Va Famous Art Collection. The unique collection of Chinese work6 of art made by the late Li Hung Chang, one-time viceroy of China, which for years collectors tried vainly to acquire, has finally been bought by a Swedish syndicate. The purchase price is understood, to have been more than a million krone (nominally about $280,000), but the intrinsic value of the collection is incalculable. Li Hung Chang died In 1S01. He had a collection of works of art larger than anything of Its kind In tfie empire. It included numerous old paintings, bronzes of great worth and" ancient ceramics. The bronzes date from a time before Christ, and the paintings were done from the tenth to the twelfth centuries. * * V Radium Economy. ' The use of radium on a large scale therapeutically Involves danger of loss, and this factor has been a big one in Inducing hospitals and clinics with a gram or more of the element In use to utilize radium emanation Instead of applicators containing the radium itself. There has been in stalled In a Pittsburgh laboratory an elegant and useful apparatus for the collection, purification and tubing of radium emanation obtained from a salt of the element. It differs from earlier apparatus in that liquid air Is replaced by chemical moans of purifying the emanations, which are felt to do mere reliable.?Scientific American. 1 Omar Was Right.
