1t is a recognized fact that too many
of the people In the United States are try
ing to live in cities. Ia 1900 about 81 per
cent. Of the population OF the country was
embraced in cities of 10, 900 population and

In such cities was little over per cent.

1860 such cities contained "A little over II

arising from the accumulation Of people in

but 1t Is considered by those well qualified
to Judge. that the unimproved resources OF
New England offer greater indacemsnts to

Western States. A leading citizen OF

Gently gave 1t As his opinion that careful

with a similar Outlay of capital elsewhere.
Men to be successful iSsuch enterprises
must exercise a much sagsci;y as they
would to succeed in other svocatisns.
There are thousands OF abandoned farms
In New England which can be purchased
cheap; aud yet New England does not raise
its own butter, cheese, apples. mutton.
etc, but there Is no reason why its farmers
might not do so by adopting new methods.
Scotland, no larger than Maine. possesses
wealth in five million sheep. There is no
reason why the thousands of run out"

Maine may not only be restored by sheep

AMERICAN INVENTIVE GENUS, conspicu-
than at present. True 10 decided triumphs
like Our respers. sewing machines, tele-
graphs and duplex teegraphs occur every
year,-but in the general line OF useful
inventions. the United States lead the
world. With higher wages for labor, our
improved machinery now enables US TO
compete successfully in all the principal
markets of the world in the sale OF many
Of our manufactured goods. England
even buys largely of our domestics; our
agricultural implements harrow up the
soil of the whole world; the melody OF the
American organs and pianos is heard
wherever civilization has extended; our
grain, our beef. oar canned goods. feed
untold blyriads in Europe and elsewhere.
The bulA Of this great success, for ma
ton but century old, Is due 10 the inven.
tive capacity OF its people IN planning
machinery to produce, methods TO pre-
serve, and means tor safe transportation
long distances. With all this, many more
meritorious inventors are deprived from
any personal benefit from their contribu.
tions to public welfare BY an ignorance OF
the multifarious intricacies Of the Patent
Once. To such We would commend Mr..
K. II. Eddy, rs State Street, Boston, as a

Russia obstinately listens to the suing
of peace by Turkey through England. but
still seems intent upon settling 1t after her
ows idea. and to her own satisfaction.
Although this has been asked. Russia still
continues her work. Her advance upon
the Balkans has been checked by great

Danube are in danger OF being carried
away, yet she has ordered achievements
of $4,000 msa for her armies. Ii /;
though; that the only way that Turkey car
obtain al armistice will be TO apply direct

Maine, once the great Numbering State

Maine, once the great numbering State
OF the Union, now stands sixth on the list,
and the business seems fast decaying on
account OF the wasting away of the forests
and the oyercrovded condition OF the trade.
The cut Of logs on the Penobscot river de-
creases every year. snd the bulk Of the
production hereafter will come from the
kennebec. rs the STREAMS emptying into
MOOsehsad lake will keep up the supply
for q long time. But the business will
probably never be rs remunerative as 1t
has been, for the competition among
Western lgmbermen has thrown large
quantities OF lumber upou the boston and
