only Two Hundred Years.

Mr.. Ravenstein OF the British Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF Sci
ence has been making calculations as
to the number Of people that the
world can comfortably support and
the time when that limit will be
reached He estimates the population
of the earth in 1890 at /, 46S, 600. 900,
and its rate of increase per decade at
8 per cent. Then he takes the area
Of all the habitable land in the world
at a little over 46, 900, 900 square
miles, only $4,000, 900 of which are
fertile. The latter he estimates to be
capable OF maintaining 207 to Che
mile, this being founded on the stasis-
tics Of 175 for India 295 for Chiaa,
and 264 for Japan. Roughly speak,
ing, the earth is supposed to be caoa-
BILE of sustaining 5000, 900. 900 people
and at the present rate of increase this
LIMIT will be reached in a little less
than 200 years from now.

The See Of GalIlee.

The lake of Genesarcth, called also
the Sea Of Galilee, ETC.. situated in
Palestine, sixty-five miles north OF she
Dead Sea, is pear-shaped. The great
est width is six and quarters
miles, its extreme length is fifteen
miles. The Jordan enters it muddy
at the north, and passes out clear at
the south. The natural features of the
lake are neither various nor especially
attractive. The chief interest con-
nected with it is that Christ passed
much of his time on its shores. IL
abounds in the best kinds OF fish.
which made the southern part OF it
particularly noted as a fishing ground.
The towns around it in former times
are now mostly in ruins.

Labrador's Lofty Waterfall.

Though inner Labrador is inadequately
known, we are aware that it is vast table
land whose limits are quite clearly defined.
In the southeast the descent from the table
land is quite sudden, and almost imme-
diately after leaving the plateau level is
reached that is very little above that OF
the sea- The Grand falls are the place
where the Grand river tumbles over the
edge of this tableland, and almost the
whole Of the great drop is'effected in this
one descent. Professor Hind gives the
height of this, platean as 2240 feet. 1t has
been estimated that the region az the foot
of the falls is only 200feet above sea level,
and that the waters.of Grand river have a
perpendicular descent of about 9 600 feet
