Late Marriages and the Cost of Education and Living Kill It, Says Dr. Hart. roa' 10 The iXtw York tines. BOSTON. Oct.

lo. Iate mar-riases. expensive education, the high cost of living, and other social conditions are gradually bringing about the extinction of Yankee blood, according to Prof. Albeit Hushnell Hart. Chairman of the Department of History and Government at Harvard College and an authority on sociological subjects.

He. has based this inference on aome of the claas histories of Harvard, and the official censuses of the United Statea. By the former he. ahowed that Yankee blood, or pure English stock, as He pre. Irred to call it.

la rapidly dying- out; by the latter demonstrated that the ratio of increase of imputation In this country is falling off greatly. Here are some of Prof. Hart's deductions: The aace of murriaare depends not upon love, but upon economic conditions. Yankee blood le dying out. Men and women of Yankee blood have less than one-fifth as many children as when this country wan first settled.

The reason Is to be sought In Increased cost of living, increased Immigration, late marriages, and fashion, also the cost of education. You can sot a plumber's boy at work when he Is 13. A lawver's eon must be trained to twice that aare. Hence his late marrliige. and few children.

SIASCONSET, (Nantucket Island) Oct. 16. The Wellman airship America was in communication with the Marconi station here at 9 o'clock this morning. She is in a dense fog and her exact whereabouts are doubtful, but, judging from the strength of the wireless signals, assume the airship to be very close to the Island of Nantucket. Her wireless apparatus is working splendidly and the airship is in constant communication with the shore and ocean liners, this proving conclusively the efficiency of wireless in aerial navigation.

A brisk westerly breeze is blowing. SIASCONSET, Oct. 16, Noon. The Wellman airship reports all well on board. She is now heading east by north, presumably following the track of the ocean liners.

The weather is still foggy. The Marconi operator on the America is extremely brief, preferring to husband his limited power for emergencies or important news. SIASCONSET, Oct. 16, 12:45 P. M.

The Wellman airship was called by wireless and asked whether they were still O. K. Very faintly came the reply in one single Yes," indicat- TH OF THE WAY ACROSS ing that they are now well east of. Nantucket. This will probably be the last; direct communication with the air ship from this point, but all ocean liners are keeping a sharp lookout and will report developments.

SIASCONSET, Oct. 16. The wireless operator on the America reported that the engines had been stopped, hence the dynamo was not running. He said "juice was precious," from which I assumed he was working off the storage battery and hence husbanding his limited power. NOT SEEN BY THE ARABIC.
