The Size of Texas,

The area Of Texas is more than
equal to the area of ell the New Eng
a,d states, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois, New Jersey aud Della
ware combined.
Texas contains more than four times
the area of all the New England states
Texas would make 24l states as
large as Rhode Gland. or nearly six
tAtes as large as New York, or near
ly nlne states as large as South Car J.
lima, or nearly seven Kingdoms as
large as Portugal.
Texas is a. large "a Great, Ireland.
Turkey in Europe, Portugal, Greece
and Switzerland combined.
Texas wonld make more than three
states as large Us Kansas.
Texas is as large as the German en-
pire and Alabama combined.
"The land in actual use for growing
Indian corn, wheat, hay, oats and
cotton in the United States now con-
ssts of PIP 500 squars miles, or little
more than the area of Texas"
"The entire wheat crop OF the Uni

land of the best quality selected from
that part of the area of Texas by
which the state exceeds the area OF

"rhe worlds present supply of cot

Remarkable Revival of Young Man
Apparently Drowned.

From the Philadelphia Press
The misadventure OF Samuel Mace is re-
markable story Of apparent death and
resurrection.
Mace is large and brawny young man,
with an attractive face, except for the alb
sence Of an eye, which was closed several
years ago through an accident. and gives
him a facetious cast Of countenance even In
his most solemn moments. At present he
lives with his mother at the southeast cor
ner Of Front and jefferson streets, and is
employed as driver for business house
at..Second and Girard avenue.
Last summer Mace and his mother lived
at Thompson and Adrian streets, and was
employed by the firm Of Stead II Murphy
as a Iaborer. On a Wednesday In the latter
part Of August he was ordered with two
other employees 20 go to the Queen street
wharf, on the Delaware river, TO load rosin
into one of the firms wagons. While busily
engaged at the work, and standing on the
cap log of the dock, Mace lost his balance
and fell backward into the river
1t was about o'clock In the afternoon,
aud the cry Of man overheard brought
great crowd Of wharf loungers and long
shoremen to the scene. The body remained
in the water unusually long, and a small
skiff- load of rescuers we're about abandon
ing the search, when II was suddenly
