1000 pounds of it will bring him
forty-tive cents per pound, while the

The New Economics.

When Thomas Robert Nautilus an
bounced about seventy-fve years ago
that the tendency of nature was for the
population to increase faster than the
worlds food supply, it was accepted
by readers and thinkers as the state
ment Of u great new truth. Whatever
was sour and disagreeable was apt to be
accepted seventy-five years ago as a
great truth, just because it was sour
and disagreeable and therefore good
for mankind. But now come more
cheerful philosophers and inform us
that we must reconstruct our views
altogether. Not only may the food sup
ply increase as fast az the people, but II
men use their wits and bestir them
selves it will increase tenfold faster.
This is the dictum Of the new political
economy. We accept it with thanks.
It is moro pleasant than to think that
the time will come when mankind will
be obliged to dispose Of superfuous ba-
bies Chinese fashion.
One Of the cheerful new philosophers
is Professor w. O.. Atwater, who, writes
in The Century. When the United
States is as highly cultivated as France
and Holland now are, 200 acre farm
will support from 200 to 300 persons in
stead Of so at most. he says. The capacity
for the increase Of the agricultural food
supply is simply limitless, when man
kind learns to plant seed and give il
exactly the chemical salts that it needs
for itself. Wheat will grow in water,
or even upon an asphalt pavement, pro-
yided these salts are thus furnished, just
as a man can eat his dinner sitting down
anywhere.
We Americans eat too much fat and
sugar, the most wasteful and costly Of
foods, till we are absorbing SO much fat
that we are in danger Of coming to look
like the prize pumpkins and prize cattle
at an agricultural show. The remedy is
to stop devouring the carbohydrates that
make fat and go to eating protein. We
want protein now moro than anything
else. We find it in lean meat and in
vegetables containing nitrogen, but most
of all in fish. Fish used to be thought
to be sovereign brain food. Now it is
protein they give us. and our fattened
American systems are crying for pro
tein. Very well, let 1t be protein by all
means. And the fish that supply us this
life giving food can be increased in num-
bers by pisciculture till the waters pro
duce hundred fold as much as they do
now. But we eat twice as much meat
as is good for us anyhow, we Americans.
The exhaustion Of the soil which has
made crops wear out land is pro-
duced by the taking away from it of
nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid.
Immense deposits of the two latter salts
have been found which will supply the
world. Nitrogen can be given back to
the earth by the growing Of beans, peao,
clover and alfalfa.

ENeLANp's NAVY.

In Spite of Its Reputation 1t Does Not
Satisfy the English.
"The truly perilous condition of our
country during war, owing to the ex-
ceedingly weak state of the navy as
compared with that from 1908 to 1851"
is the subject of a very remarkable
letter just written by Admiral Sir
Thomas Symonds, Of the royal navy, to
the Marquis of Salisbury. Standing in
the light of recognized authority, re-
marks the New York Times, Sir Thorn
as is listened to by the British mill
tary service with mingled wonder and
apprehension. The service papers print
the letter in full, with copious editorials.
Sir Thomas states that Great Britain
has so few cruisers that even in 1895 it
would be impossible to supply the
coaling stations during war with France
alone. The fighting and mercantile
navies would be paralyzed, and the
punctual supply of food would be i'm
possible.
''In personnel our numbers are about
10000 partly trained men. The French
have 104, 900 Inserts and $4,000 marine
artillerymen and light infantry. Total,
10000 well-trained men. We should
have at least marine artillerymen
enough beyond what we have to gar
rison our dock-yard towns, which
should be, like the French, under pre-
fect-Admirals. As to vessels, we have
none. We need twenty battle-ships and
fifty cruisers of all classes ready for SEE
as reserve-except being manned-to
relieve accidents, and even for coaling,
passing the crews of those vessels re-
turning to port to those ready for sea-"
In conclusion Admiral Symonds says
that he deems it his imperative duty to
make manifest how recl1lessly his
country is pursuing the road to ruin il
the event of war, for he is certain that
seventy-six armor-clads and eighty
eight cruisers, some of which are of q
questionable character, can not possibly
fulfill the duties expected OF her Maj
esty's navy.
