The Size of Them,

The empire of Brazil is nearly as large
as the United States-larger, counting
out Alaska-but has only as many peo-
pie as the three combined states of New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. In fact,
all the Central and South American
countries put together have only 90. 000,-
600 inhabitants-10,0 00, 900 less than the
United States. 1t is no wonder, there
fore. that with their good climate and
marvellous undeveloped resources they
should use every inducement to attract
population. The only persons to whom
the climate proves unhealthy seem to be
those who try to stir up revolution.
Mexico is somewhat smaller than that
part of the United States east of the Mis-
sissippi river, and has 10000. 900 inhabit-
ants. The Argentine Republic is half
as large as the United States and has a
population of 3,0a6, 900, less than the
state of Pennsylvania by million and a
quarter. Colombia, as large as six aver
age states of this Union combined, has a
population of perhaps $500 Bolivia,
Per- Venezuela and Ecuador are~not
fferent from Colombia in size, and
each a popul;, I ranging fEpm
Lightly over 100000 to 1850, 900.
Ecuador is the most thinly populated,
having only little more thana million in
habitants. Chill is smaller, being only
as large as New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio combined, but she has over 2,
250, 900 people. The Chilians are called
the Yankees of South America.

Which Twin Is the Older?

There is one historic question nobody
will now ever be able to decide-that is,
whether North or South Dakota came
into the Union first.
Naturally the proclamation first re-
ceiving the presidents signature would
claim to take its state into the Union
first. But this question of priority was
got around in the state department in an
ingenious manner The two .proclama-
tons announcing that North and South
Dakota were in the Union were brought
to Mr.. Harrison for his signature. They
were shuff1ed like cards, then laid face
downward upon a table. They were
next turned face upward, the presidents
face being turned away, and all of each
covered except the space where the sig
nature was to be affixed.
The president signed. The ink was
dried, then the two were shuffied again.
The secretary mixed them babies up
SO thoroughly that nobody till judgment
day will beable to tell which was which.
Thus we shall never know whichis the
older state. President Harrison is a
Presby terrain, and q good one, but in this
case he resorted to game of chance.

Canadian Lepers.

Apparently. it. is true that loathsome
leprosy is spreading into countries where
II has been hitherto unknown. There
are cases of il, in the United States.
Since 1923 it has been in Canada, and
there is lepsr colony in New, Bruins
wick.
In 1928 a woman died of an unknown
and frightful disease in Tracadie, New
Brunswick. Others were in time at
tackled in similar manner and died.
but it was not for some years that the
terrible ailment was known to be lep-
rosy.
BY 1874 twenty persons were afflicted
with the scourge. Then lazaretto was
established at Tracadie, and all afflicted
with the disease were taken thither. By
1s4S there were thirty five lepers at Ira
cadie. There were no sanitary regula-
tons, however, and the unfortunates
were permitted to fall into frightful
condition of filth and misery. In 1856
some Catholic Sisters of Mercy petit
toned to be allowed to go to Tracadie
and take care of the lepers. Their re-
quest was granted. With their arrival
matters grew better. The sisters now
have full charge of the lazaretto. Eighty
one patients have been admitted to the
hospital since they took it in charge
Seventy-six have died. One of the pa
tients still living has been a leper fifty
years.
Eight years ago the nuns had twenty
seven patients under their care. Now
there are only eighteen. 1t looks as
though the scourge was diminishing.
But there are other leper colonies in
Canada 1t is to be Noted that not one
OF the gentle sisters of mercy who volun
teered to nurse lepers has been attacked
with the disease In this respect they
are more fG~:;iIate than Father Daimler
was in the Sandwich Islands.

Why "Bore?" could get no explanation.
One man said because it shores out the chan
nel:" another thought it was SO called be-
cause it was a SHORE" to the captain whose
vessel is caught by it,. The last strikes me as
correct. for vessels of 1000 tons burthen
come up to Moacton on high tide, while mud
scows are grounded at low. Coming in, the
captains are at ease; going out they watch
every motion, for If they get aground they
must remain there till the next high tide.
And then it is a chance, for they may ''stick
IN the mud" ''lie down." and get in bad
mess generally. BOT long ago small schoon.
err was caught away from the wharf, and by
the incoming food carried up against the
railroad bridge and knocked to pieces. So
they are quito correct in calling it the
"Boren B..
20 From Moncton to st. John the country i'm
proved every mile, and the latter city was a
lively revelation to me. It may almost claim
to be the Liverpool of North America. Its
capacious harbor topen all the year, presents
a fine array Of vessels, and the published fig
sures as to its commerce and the shipping
owned by its citizens are quite startling.
sSt John owns more shipping than any other
city of its size in the world $50 say its citi-
gems, so says the gazetteer, and SO we shall
have to believe till the contrary IS proved.
In the city proper are perhaps eS,0Oo peo-
pie: in Portland, the big suburb, 1900 more,
and the river st. John, which runs between,
rs distinguished by ''double cascade" A
rocky reef crosses the river there; when the
tide is; in there is cascade up stream; when
the tide is opt there are s'fallsn down stream.
At high tide twenty three feet high there is
smooth water and large vessels pass safely
over the reef. And all the rest of this sort
of thing you can find In any Canadian hand
book. ---

The Fermentation Theory.

This new theory Of life in death and
death in life is attracting much attention
among the scientific, and is being care
fully studied. Briefly stated, the idea is
that life is Instrumentation and death q
putrefaction. The fermentation is q
chemical action constantly going on in
our bodies. Digestion is q fermentation,
the oxidation Of the blood is another fer
mentation, and thus life is maintained.
But the fermentation, chemical action
itself. is considered in the new scheme
to be carried on by millions Of microbes,
infnitesimaI living organisms. The re.
suit of fermentation is putrefa on
the moment fermentation is ended. mill
ions of other living organisms appear.
From the putrefied mass a new set OF
creatures are developed, getting their
life and growth from the dead remains.
Indeed, there can hardly be said to be
'anysdead remains, 30 full of infinitely
working microbes is all matter, in any
state whatsoever.
So, between these two forces, man
moves like planet around the sun. The
fermentive microbes build him up, the
putrefactiye organisms disintegrate him.
Between the two The balance Of life is
maintained. IF either force is ia excess,
death ensues The fermentation pro
duces heat, and IS slow burning. All
the universe seems organized on the
principle Of two opposing forces in equi.
ibrium.

when Joe JEFFERSON Was a Boy.

.The door from our back entry opened
upon the stage, and as toddling little
chap in a short frock I was allowed full
run of the place" says Joseph Jefferson
in The Century Magazine,
The description the famous actor gives
of his early days is one Of the most
charming bits of autobiography that have
appeared In many q day. His father
and grandfather before him were actors,
comedians. his grandfather being dis
tinguished one. The present Joseph is
third of the name. His mother was an
actress, and q highly accomplished one.
So that. if anything ever came naturally
to any one. dramatic art came thus to
jefferson.
He was on the stage to play baby parts
when he was in long clothes. The stage
to which he says the back entry opened
was in Washington, in a little old frame
theatre. That theatre was the first house
the boy remembers. His father was the
stage manager. All the boys aspira-
tons, his tasks and his plays We're of the
theatre. He says of himself; 81 was
one of those restless, peevish children,
who, no matter what they had, always
wanted something else"
His early days were spent in a rough
and tumble fight with poverty. such
barn storming as he and his mother and
father knew, the actors of today have
little idea of. Once the whole family
travelled by steerage passage from Mepa-
phis to New Orleans. His father was a
sunny. hopeful soul, who was always
just going to strike it rich. That they
never did was certainly not the fault OF
this CHEEKY, brave nature. MIR. Jetfer'
son is to be added to the long list of IA
nous individuals who passed through
uncommon hardships in youth.
In 1888 the jefferson family, still hop
ing for better times, went from New
York to Chicago. The part of the jour-
ney from Albany to Buffalo was made
| in canal boat. the rest of it by steam
boat around the lakes. The Jeffersons
and other actors who were travelling the
same route gave theatrical entertain
ments to pay their passage.

Irrigable Lands.

The line of sufficient rainfall in the
United States is taken to be the Tooth
meridian of longitude. Itpasses through
Texas, leaving third of the state to
the westward, also through Kansas, leav-
ing one-quarter of the state west of the
line. Thence to the northward, it di-
vides Nebraska and the Dakotas nearly
in the middle.
All the land east of this line is sup
posed to be watered by rain enough not
to need irrigation. West Of the line the
soil must be artifciaily watered as far
as the Rocky mountains. There are also
spots west of the Rockies that require it.
The arid area includes 100000 acres
in Montana, 14,0O0, 900 in Idaho, 1O.0OO,-
600 in California New Mexico, Arizona
and Nevada are some of the other dis
tricts that will come in for their share
of benefits under the United States irri-
cation acts.
California has already 100000 acres
under irrigation. ~

FREDERICK DE PEYsTER. minutes turbid
torrent some ten feet deep, and In two or
three honrs rises nearly to the top Of a thirty
five foot wharf.
Standing on the lower wharf, just before
the Bore comes in, one is led to conclude
that water is somewhat necessary to make o
river-that Is, in every part OF the country
except Nevada--for although this is called
the Petitcodiac river there Is very little water.
You look across mud Cat, cioss the green
point beyond it and across the river again
below that, for the stream bends there like a
U, and oil at once the cry is heard. "Here
she comesf'
You see across the point the white crest OF
the ssBore,n and the next minute it comes
sweeping around the bend, a nearly upright
column of water, perhaps six feet high, dash
ing madly up stream, and soon covering the
mud fat with turbid torrent. Tho philoso-
ply Of 1t is that the high tide in the Bay Of
Fundy naturally concentrates its force as the
bay narrows, and SO the water is "shot" into
the inlets as If from the nozzle Of hydraulic
engine.

Cotton Seed.

The cotton oil trust could not keep
from the public that it had come short
in its expected profits million dollars
this year. It was also obliged to admit
that it must be resolved into cotton
seed company instead of a cotton seed
trust. in order that the managers might
pump some of the water out" of the
concern. This naturally Disguised those
who had bought their stock with the
water in it.
Twenty years ago the last thing to
make a trust out of would have been
cotton seed oil. Forty years ago cotton
seed was drug and nuisance to the
planter. who abused it up and down. 1t
was burned as garbage. and ways were
devised to get rid of it.
At length it was thought of as ferti-
lizer. Happy thought The very thing!
Next some genius thought of feeding it to
cattle. Happier idea still. 1t was full
of oil, and made animals sleek and fat.
May be the oil in it was good for some
thing. Another brilliant thought. The
oil was found to be valuable for many
purposes.
A ton of cotton seed was soon valued
at S14. 1t ,contained thirty-fye gallons
of oil, which, after it was refined, brought
dollar a gallon. There was another
miracle. The cotton seed hulls were
found better food for animals than the
| whole seed had been, while as fertilizer
and fuel they were unsurpassed. Final
ly, to complete the story of a nuisance.
the ashes of the hulls make a first class
potash, and the refuse of the oil is manu-
featured into an excellent soap.

Interesting Variations In Perceptive Power.
An interesting fact well known to physiolo-
gists is that of intermittence in the intensity
Of some sensations. Thus, the tick of a
watch Withdrawn gradually from the ear be-
gins to be heard, by turns, distinctly and in
distinctly, then times of silence alternate
with the sound. n. Couetoux, in The Revue
Scientifque, calls attention to an analogous
experience he has had in the case of vision.

the law is sometimes evaded on Prince Ed

It is incidentally interesting to learn tnas
there are still 2Sl Indians on the island ana
that they are dying out very leisurely. rer-
