sober citizen who had been detained
down town WAS halted by the desperate
and soulless robber.

revolver pointed Mt the others head.
Not another person was in sight. All

the fiendish highwayman.

citizen. "but upon this condition-that

How Much The World Eats.

How much the human race eats in a
day can only be answered approximate
ly, but at the same time fairly
accurate estimate can be arrived at.
The average healthy man eats nearly
two and half pounds Of solid food in
day. Some races eat much more than
others, but against this we can set the
small consumption OF children aud the
delicate members Of civilized commu-
mites.
Now, as there are, according to the
most careful computations, ,497 ,O00,-
900 human beings on the planet, we
may conclude that 8 GOT TIC, 600 pounds
or about l,6l0,6l3 tons Of solid food are
eaten every day the world over.
With regard TO the drinking capacity
OF the human race, as the proper indl-
vidual allowance is nearly two and
three-quarter pints day, we may take
1t that the above named quantity OF
food is washed down with about 4.047,.
SSS 900 pints Of liquid in some form OF
cther.-Ex.
