Axr law that will help tho author-

law It is doubtless truo that some
adults with questionable taste will
continue to unoko cigarettes in defi-
ance of tho canons of health and
respect for the feelings of others To
such the question of cost will hardly
be a detriment Nor is it certain that
any law could be framed that would
prevent tha mania for slow suicide In
the case of some otherwise intelligent
adults But the effects of habitual
cigarette smoking on persons of Imma-
ture physique is serious enough to
warrant steps being taken to limit tbo
scourge There are scores in the In-
sane asylums from this habit and an
even greater number are killed out-

comparative density of population
This is greatest In Europe where tho
average is 37 to tho square kilometre

America 3 The most thickly popu-
lated country Is Belgium which shows
207 to the square kilometre and
which is followed at some distance by
the Netherlands Great Britain and
Ireland Italy Japan the German
empire China British India and so-
on down to the Unite States which
furnishes but 7 to the kilometre By

has seldom been seen in the house

as was witnessed yesterday The sil-
ver debate had been dragging along
as it has dragged aiong ever since the
silver bill was up with no relief in
tho way of red Ore until Bourke Cock
ran of New York took the floor There
was a great rush to the gallery and to
hear this man as ho was understood
to bo an orator from way back Ho
has made no speech this session and
everyone was anxious to hear himand
ho did make a great speech a sort
of declamation in which he touched
the edges of the main questions as
ho skimmed along and after be
had concluded and the coise of
speechifying had died Burrows of
Michigan moved that tho bill be laid
on the table Then the vote com-
menced As it progressed it became
evident that the vote was going to bo
very cto e After much voting and
wrangling in which the services of
the sergeantatarms was several times
required tho vote stood 14S to Hi
against laying the bill on tho table
