Population of the Earth.

The population of the earth has long
been a fascinating study for statisticians
Benin and Wagner, who have Just pub-
lished an amended edition of former
work in Germany. They give the total
as ], 433, 887, 500-which is about o.
900, 900 less than their estimate OF two
years ago. They have concluded that
China has $1,000, 900 less than they for
merly supposed. There has thus been
an actual increase of about 80 900, 900
in the population of the globe-an in
crease, however, which must be spread
over ten years, as many OF the recent
censuses are decennial. For Edrop
the present population is rated Mt 327,-
743, 400. showing an increase of about
II, 90, 900 over the previous figures by
the operation of the censuses. In Asia,
making allowance for the reimbursement
of the population of China, there has
been an increase of 10000, 900, the
present population being set down at
795, sol 900. OF course the estimates
must sometimes be little better than
Puesses, for example, fer such places as
Africa For this continent DIR. r h'fs
maintains that al estimate of 100, 600 900
is quite enough, while Benin and Waos
ner retain the old figure of 200, 900, 600
with considerable hesitation.

A Temperance General.

1t was recently reported that Sir
Garnet Wolseley is a total abstainer
from Intoxicating beverages. A man
who sat by the side of him at dinner
found that he left his wine glass I'M
touched, and that that was his habit.
OF course, the temperance people will
make much of that alleged fact. The
greatest, or at least the most successful,
English General of this day is teetotal-
er. His success they will attribute to
his abstemIousness, which is all the
more remarkable in soldier; or, at any
rate, they will claim that the triumph
of the English arms in Egypt has been
greatly helped by the sobriety of the
general in command.
And they will have good reason for
the claim. Undoubtedly a sober Gen
eraI is far more trustworthy than one
who relies on stimulants to bolster him
up when the occasion is trying.
No man can be trusted to do work
which requires good Judgment if he is
much addicted to drink. Alcohol very
soon affects the balance OF the faculties.
and therefore the less people who need
to have their heads about them take of
it the better they are off. Drinking is
the great vice of armies, and yet no.
where else does man require that ali
his faculties shall be normal more than
when in the charge of troops in the field,
especially when he is high in command.
Ii Sir Garnet WoIseley is a teetotaler
he ID wise man. He is in better phys
zeal condition to stand the different eli
mates to which military service may call
him, and intellectually he keeps himself
far better poised than if he followed the
drinking customs of the run of army
officers. His mind is clesrer, and he
can trust his judgment. How many
thousands of lives would have bsen
saved in our war. for instance. il the
Generals had all been as sober as Wolse.
ley is said to be.
We observe that among Euglishmen
of education and ability, and who carry
the load of extensive affairs, the ten
dency is toward increasing abstemious-
ness, and that even total abstainers are
growing pretty numerous. 1t is ten

Where the weary foot trav'ler was welcome to

And the beggar was never sent empty away;

WHY IT EXPLODES.
MYSTERIOUS COMBUSTION OF
KEROSENE EXPLAINED.
How it will Ignite Without Being
Brought into Actual Contact
with Fire.

Certainly one who reads the following
explanation of why a kerosene lamp
bursts (publishedin the Christian Union,
will be foolhardy if he should pour kero-
sene on the fire or into lighted lamp.
Most persons suppose that it is the kero-
sene itself which explodes, and that if
they are very careful to keep the oil
itself from being touched by the fire of
the light, there will be no danger. But
this is not so.
If can or lamp is left about half full
of kerosene oil, the oil will evaporate a
little, and will form, by mingling with
the air in the upper part of the lamp, a
very explosive gas.
You cannot see this gas any more
than you can see air. But il it is dis
turbed and driven out, and q blsze
reaches it, there will be terrible ex-
plosion, although the blaze did not
touch the oil.
There are several other liquids used
in houses and workshops which will
produce an explosive vapor in this way.
Benzine is one; burning fluid is an.
other; and naphths, alcohol, ether,
chloroform, may do the same thing.
In a New York workshop, lately,
there was can of benzine, or gasoline,
standing on the floor. A boy sixteen
years old lighted cigarette, and threw
the burning match on the floor close to
the can.
He did not dream there was and
danger, because the liquid was corkcd
up in the can. But there was a great
explosion, and he was badly hurt.
This seems very mysterious. The prob.
ability is that the can had been standing
there good while and good deal o.
vapor had formed, some Of which had
leaked out around the stopper and was
hanging in a sort of invisible cloud over
and around the can; and this cloud,
when the match struck it, exploded.
Suppose a girl tries to fill kerosene
lamp without first blowing it out. Oh
course the lamp is nearly empty, or she
would not care to fill it. This empty
space is filed with cloud OF explosive
vapor arising from the oil in the lamp.
When she pushes the nozzle Of the
can into the lamp at the top, and begins
to pour, the oil, running into the lamp,
fills the empty space and pushes the
cloud of explosive vapor up; the vapol
obliged to pour out o1e: the edges OF
the lamp, at the top, into the room
outside.
OF course it strikes against the blazing
wick which the girl is holding down By
one side. The blaze of the wick setE
the invisible cloud of vapor afre, arc
there is an explosion which ignit9s the
oil and scatters it over her clothes and
over the furniture OF the room. This i:
the way in which kerosene-iaml
bursts.
The same thing may happen when {
girl pours the oil over the fire in the
range or stove, if there is cloud of ex
plosive vapor in the upper part Of the
can, or if the stove is hot enough IL
vaporlze quickly some of the oil as i
falls.
Remember that it is not tho oil bal
the invisible vapor which explodes
Taking care of the oil will not protec
you. There is no safety except in tn
rule: Neve pour oil on lighted fire O
nto lighted lamp.
