London on leave, fourteen of the waitr s.".s have Kivtn up their place? during the past six months and in Mich, ras' s the n ason was the same. Kach one of those irirls rn.irried a Canadian. In the Lyons restaurants, which dot the whole city of London havoc lias heen causetl hy the American onrush and some af these places are runninK short -hamleii now as a result. Cannot I'nderstaml. London cannot understand the causes which lead to this remarkaMe state of affairs that is the the majority of Londoner cannot: hut there is one who has told the writer all ahout i! and at least helieves she knows. This is Mrs. L. Coddard. who lived with her four daughters in a cosy little flat just off Leicester square. Three of her daughters have married inadiaiis and a fourth is enaed to he married to a man of the contingent. Mrs. (loddard told ahout the jiiiek romances which had culminated in this epidi mic of matrimony while her face was wreathed in smiles. "I am sure they will all he happy," she said, "and if I wore a younger woman there should he five in the f.imiiy arid not four. You see they are so different from our men. They are not ashamed to love a girl and to ell h' r so and they are all uentlenun. I love them all myself, so I know why my daughters love them and they all have hfen married with my consent." There is humor, too. in some of the rapid marriages that have hern arranged. Take for instance the case of a Canadian sergeant who met in London one of two sisters who were alone in the world and lived together. The 'it l loved him and he spent all his hours out of camp in trying to set her to t:et married. lint she would not

i leave her little sister alone in tne world even to have her Prince CharmI ins,'. Then the sergeant cut the GodI dian knot with characteristic direct

ness. A Double VMii!:. Always when he called at the house of his sweetheart he would have with him a companion in ann5. It never would ho the same man twice. Final

ly sponsored into her home the man the other sister wanted. Then there was a double weddincr. The western ideals of the territorials were rather piven a set hack when they first arrived over here ana found i;iri.s working in the public bars; ami they were slower to make their rush at this class of London's fair sex. hut when they found what conditions were and that these pirls live a life which, while it is a rather free and easy one during the working hours, is almost a cloistered one when they are off duty, and that the majority of the barmaids were most e'aarminf? aswell as pood Kirls their attitude changed completely. Now there is hardly a public house in the section frequented liv Canadians, where there will not lie found at least one soldier hohlintr serious converse with the fair attendant in the snatches of time she pets between customers. Men Well Paid. . The whole thins lias caused rather an economic disturhanee hor. The Canadians are well paid much better paid than the men of the army hore and there is hardly a man of them who has not a promising future. They are stalwart men and handsome. They have come out of a section of the new world where women are scarce and where virtue and the wifelv qualities are at a premium. They find these little maids of London ready and willing to meet them half way "in their plans for the future. And they have the time to be ardent in their courtship. With their success comes many

rb'umes. Thev do not permit their

wives to work after marriage and they p-o'-'de a home for them either here or in the vicinity of the traninp camp.

1 by the promise that eacli Canadian : soldier will he piven 1R0 acres of land i by his government if he survives the

German attack that it Is not love but the instinct for material pain that is leading them into matrimony. Lut the facts hardly warrant this view. A careful investigation has resulted in the discovery that these wives of Canadian soldiers, unlike their English sisters who have married the

Melotte the number of

This is shown by the thinnintr out of the fainter stars. These stars as a whole are the most distant and if they were unlimited numerically every increase in the penetrating power of telescopes would brin previously unseen ones into view in proportionately undiminished numbers. As a fact however there is a rapid falling off in the proportionate numbers at Kreat distances. This is shown bkv Kapteyn's "law of star density " Taking the "parscc" as the unit of measurement (a parsec is epial to fJ million million miles) the density

This does not reach the limit of vision of the very greatest telescopes but it shows in accord with other estimates that the total number of stars in the visible uni -ersc is numerable and probably does not exceed a thousand millions at the oirsidc estimate. The fact that a fairly definite shape or outline has been found for the visible universe is in itself a proof that it is not unlimited in extent. We are virtually certain that it expands around us in such a manner as to assume roughly the form of a fiat irregular disk the more distant parts or edges of which lie in the plane of the milky way. It is thus like a floating island of stars in an ocean of space. Space itself may he Infinite although what we call the universe is not. As to the other universes' exist-

ing beyond the limits of ours and invisible to us that is purely a speculation which appears more or less probable according to the manner in which one's mind approaches it. Hut at any rate there is no positive evidence of the existence of such outer star systems. From time to time one hears suggestions that this r that neb-.:l.i is an "outside universe" dimly shining to us from its millions of crowded stars across immeasurable tracts5 of intervening space. F.ut it is lar more probable that no nebula or other object visible in the mightiest telescope is unconnected with the universe to which our sun and our earth belong. As to the continuance of the Creator's work in forming new suns and new planet? of that there can be no question. This workis in truth visibly going on before- us in the heavens. There is the utmost variety of ages among the stars just as there is anions,' the human brings in a crowd.

RAYMOND 3ROWV 0 NEW YORK. July Jo. Mrs. Raymond Rrown of Ilelport, L. I. is busy these days directing rehearsals of tho new suffragette drama. which will soon be seen in a regular theater on Broadway, it is said. The drama is

called "Rack of the Rallott" and deals '

with the task of getting the burglar to line up for the "cause." Ceorge Middleton, the well known playwright, and husband of Fola Ia Follette, wrote the piece. Mrs. Rrown is president of the Empire state campaign committee for woman suffrage.

How the High Cost of Living Is Bringing Bach Fairies

FAIRIES, science now 1? ?ure, really did exist. There Is truth behind nil the stories of them that have delighted ocd frightened children for eges. Only they weren't quite the kind of people that the fnlry books make out. They were, science belleve9, prehistoric dwarf races of Europe, usually swarthy and mischievous. They wee swarthy, pmall and rrankish because for generations their" raco had not enough to eat. They had. in fact, like Peier Pan, never grown up. And blng mill children thev behaved like children. It was the memory of these "little people," and this name given them by the Irish is scientifically literal, that crystallized Into the stories of dwarfs, kobaldi, pixies and so on in the fairy stories. The really Interc-sting part of all this, however, is that American Medicine, the famous medical journal. mvs that the fairies are coming back to earth and through tho causes that originally produced them. English anthropologists and physicians." says American Medicine, "have noticed for a long time that the prehistoric ?mall. dark types which were submerged by the Celtic and Teutonic Invasions have been reasserting themselves numerically and have also been percolating back to the areas from which they were driven by these bigger, fiercer, blonder Immigrants. "Much cf this Is due to the more perfect adjustment to the climate of the oldest stocks tnrough hundreds of millenniums of survival of the fittest, whereas the List invasions have brought In types which are Just enough until for the new climate to lose ground In proportion to th rest The big blonds are not dying out by any means; Indeed, they might be Increasing, ar.d their control of national atfairs is stronger every

decade perhaps, but tin

:ller, darker types are ap

parently getting more numerous in special positions which kill off the more recent Teutons.

"The pigmies, on the other hand, are apparently small

which make up the population,

though r.o exact observations have been made of their physical characters. No one knows what causes such variations, but we can well imagine a thousand things which may happen to check growth, and, as the unfortunates are largely in the lowest social classes, we are Justified- in suspecting disease and underfeeding ts the mn?t common. "Very small or dwarf Fpeclmens are found In every proles, and In every litter of pigs there Is a 'runt The phenomenon seems to be universal, and there Is lo reason to doubt that dwarfed types have appeared In England ever since man was man. If he was too -Utile to hold LL own In those fierce days, he perished;

if too big, he was likely to become too aggressive and

to be laid low by strategy. "Aa a fact, prehistoric skeletons of one locality and time are remarkably uniform, as also are the modern savages of one tribe. In modern civilization, on the other hand, size has absolutely no rearing upon the survival, for no matter how little or how big a man Is he can find some way of making a living and some climate which will not hurt him. Industrialism furnishes Innumerable opportunities for little men who have ufIIoIent Intelligence, and they do not have to resort to tailoring, shoeraaking or servile attachment to the more efficient big men. Their numbers ought to increase, and perhaps they are increasing throughout northern Europe, which has formerly been fit for only the big types, but no"w puts subsistence within the reach of millions of little men, some of whom caurc-' even shoulder a gun to keep out invaders. "If the dwarfish types are not gifted with enoug. Intelligence fcr skilled labor they are In a pit'ahle condition, for they cannot do hard laboring work. A. big Imbecile can shovel dirt, but the little man cannot prosper without brains. These stupid dwarfs, clothed in rags and begging an eilstence, are the most pitiable sights In London. "Will America furnish pigmies when the price of food advances to the high relative level of Europe? We have always prided ourselves on the good physique which comes with our more liberal feeding, but there is a suspicion that we have seen our best days. We are beginning the successful Importation of meat from Argentina, and It stands to reason that, as in London, there will be some men too feeble mentally and physically to get enough of It for their childrenMost of our little people are foreign born, but the native bom are not sizing up as formerly, anfl some time ago the manufacturing tailors reported that tho demand was for smaller sizes of boys' clothes for age than formerly. "The process of dwarfing must have been gora on for some time unnoticed. It Is not possible to get exact data on this subject, as no records have been kept of weight and height for each year, but our 'child welfare folks are doubtless collecting such information for future use. The matter ought to be looked into now, as it is quite disconcerting to think that the pouring of hordes into the 'melting pot is to result in undersized people as In Europe, even pigmies as in London. Every immigrant may help to shovel dirt for railroads, but he brings one more mouth to fill while the meat production is diminishing. It is all very well to say we will give these poor failures of Europe a seat at our table, but what if our own children go to school hungry
