The panorama was revelation to Chicago.
Nobody could understand it, and the explain
ations of the imaginary causes producing the
startling effect were often extremely ludi-
crous. 1t looks like ''all out doors" Said
one of the first visitors: Il can understand
how you can have these soldiers painted, and
the landscape, but what puzzles me is how
you make the landscape fit the sky" He had
noticed the shifting effects of natural sun
light on the canvas, and had no doubt that
he was looking at the real sky.
One night at the closing hour two rough
looking but well dressed men staggered W
to the box office and called for tickets. "ToC
late,n said the manager; "come tomorrow.
The lecturer has gone home" With kindly
oaths and quaint persuasion they gained ad
mission, however. The instant they reached
the platform their hats came off and theiI
voices sank to whispers. They realized
rough and drunk as they were, that they
were in the presence of death. Presently
encouraged by the perfect silence, rat ap
peared in the foreground That peculiar op
tical illusion which increases distance anC

NOT YET ovERcROWDED.


The Earth Should Not Be Called Over
opulated-Resources.
In a recent report of the German statisti-
cal bureau, the director expresses the opin-
ion that population has not overcrowded any
part of the empire, and that its resources,
properly husbanded, are adequate to the sup
port of an enormous addition to Germanys
45, 900 900 people 1t is inaccurate TO say that
any part of Europe is overpopulated When
the most of Germany was succession of
barren plains, and large part of Holland
was under water, those countries could have
supported only small part of the people who
now inhabit them. 1t would have been
case, however, not of excessive population,
but almost wholly undeveloped resources
So long as human ingenuity can add to the
productiveness of a country it should not be
called overpopulated.
Mr.. Cadell of the Geological Survey of
Scotland has recently shown that while the
British public complain of overpopulation,
and look with favor upon schemes of state
aided emigration, vast deal can yet be done
to enrich soils, reclaim waste lands, develop
new industries and improve methods of hus-
bandry, all of which would add greatly to
the resources OF their little corner OF the
globe and enlarge its capacity for supporting
its teeming population in comfort. The
Dutch are still retaining from the sea an
average of 2 500 acres year, and Hollands
resources are more than keeping pace with
its increase of population. Though there are
343 people to the square mile, the Dutch live
In comfort and few emigrate.
China proper has only little over one
third of our area, though her population is
six times as great as ours; and yet, though
the industrial knowledge of the Chinese is in
many respects extremely primitive, China is
far from being overpopulated. The Chinese
treat their fields like gardens, gather fertiliz-
ers from every conceivable source, sow their
grain in burrows, and hoe 1t as we do corn,
wasting nothing In the processes OF sowing
and harvesting. Give the Chinese modern
agricultural implements, enlarge their scien
tifc and technical knowledge, and with their
consummate panstaking still greater popu
lation may live within their borders.
1t gives US a vivid sense of the grandeur Of
our own country when we reflect that We
have as yet merely scratched the surface o.
its inexhaustible resources, and that hundred
of millions may live here in comfort.-Nev

If the truth Is ever fully known think 1t
will be revealed that the tailors have had
about as weary time of it as the dressnak
ers l saw in a tailor's shop the other day a
sensible enough looking man Of about 40
years, who was greatly distressed over an
imaginary wrinkle in the back of coat he
was trying on, and he twas so afraid" that
the trousers were 'the sixteenth of an inch
too long, No woman ever stood before her
mirror in her first ball dress in greater
anxiety as to ''the fit" of the thing than this
man Of six feet two seemed to feel about that
wrinkle and some other imaginary defects in
his clothes, He turned and twisted and
screwed his head around in his vain efforts
to see the whole of himself at once. A mirror
was placed before and behind him and the
tailor tried to calm his fears about the
wrinkle, but did not wholly succeed, and he
went away looking gloomy and miserable.
Only tailors know how 'fussy" many men
are over their clothes. They are as bad as
women, but they won't acknowledge it.

The so called felon is an acute inhamma
ton of the sheaths Of the tendons or of the
coverings of the bone 1t is accompanied
with very severe throbbing pain, great
tenderness and often much constitutional
disturbance, as indicated by fever and rapid
pulse. This affection is not only very dis
tressing, but is also attended with some
danger In persons debhtated and sickly,
death has been known to result from poison
GUS absorption. The skin covering the
fingers Is very thick, so also are the deeper
coverings, especially that which envelops
the bone When pus forms, it finds an open
ing upward difficult and, therefore, burrows
back toward the hand As the inhsmma-
ton extends, the danger becomes intensified
The abscess, if not checked, sometimes pro-
ceeds up the wrist, and even to the elbow.
| In the meantime the sufferings are terrible,
the parts are enormously swollen, and the
skin seems bursting. If a knife is not used
to make free incisions along the track of the
disease, the pus Will probably at last struggle
to the skin and discharge itself; but before
doing so the muscles will be broken down,
honeyconlbed, and, to a considerable extent,
DESTROYED Partial death of the affected
| bone is not uncommon.
A felon is easily recognized; none are SC
ignorant they cannot detect it in the early
stage While yet confined to the end of the
finger, if it appears there, the sufferer, with
out waiting to test the efficacy of his neigh
boris whims, and the virtues Of ''sure cures,
should at once place himself in the care of {
physician. If he is competent the fact vii
be readily apparent, for he will, even before
there is much swelling, insist upon opening
the abscess without delay. If the physician
urges this treatment, and the patient through
fear of the knife declines, then the latte
assumes all responsibility, and for what ma.
happen subsequently can blame no one bu
himself. If, on the other hand the medica
attendant does not insist upon making a
opening to admit of free discharge of pu
which may have formed, or which there
reason to believe will form, then he is habl
for any misfortune dependent on the buI
rowing of the pus; for he has clearly an
unmistakably failed, through ignorance c
neglect, to perform his duty TO his patient

is decidedly startling. Such discoveries are made
