business is still being carried on. Many
thousands of cypress and juniper timber
are annually fioated down to Norfolk.
The easiest and, in fact, about the only
way of reaching Lake Drummond is by
the canal and the stream which connects
the lake and waterway. Long, narrow,
fat-bottom boats are pushed up the canal
to the lake by the hunters. A small
cabin is built on tie deck of each boat
where the hunters can sleep lad cat. AT
ter reaching the inland lake everything Is
wild and solitary. Birds, deer, and
bears abound, and The sportsmen are in

and it is almost impossible to land any,
where. The flat-bottomed boat, how
ever, can be pushed far into the glade9
of the swamp, and from such vantage
places the game can easily be covered.
The deer and bears come down to the
waters of the lake to drink, and they
offer good shots for expert ritiemen. The
wild turkeys are quite fentiful in tae
swamp, and whole flocks ste often flushed
and killed. The birds of plumage are so
sure of security in the dense swamp that
they fly around in great numbers, show

rainfall and Formulation.

The distribution of population relative
to mean annual rainfall indicates not
oniy the tendency of people to seek arabic
LANDS, but their condition as to general
healthfulness. The average annual rain
fall in this country is 1915 inches, but
tie Yariat.cns range from zero to perhaps
L hundred and twenty-five inches.
Gauging the distribution Of the popula-
ton IN accordance with the annual aver
age rainfall in different localities, some
interesting points are observable, not
only as to the number Of inhabitants in
the areas calculated, but as to the density
of population. The greater proportion
o. the people of the United States are
living in the regions in which the annual
rainfall is between thirty and fifty inches.
Mr.. Gannett calculates that about three
fourths of The inhabitants of the country
are found under these conditions, and.
further, that as the rainfall increases or
diminIshes, the population diminishes
rapidly. The density Of population in
regions where the average rainfall is be-
tween thirty aud forty inches is 49, per
square mile; in regions where it is from
forty to fifty inches annually, the density
is % per square mile; in regions where
the rainfall is from fifty TO sixty inches
annually, the density is 25.1, and in the
arid regions Of the West, where the rain
fall IS less than twenty inches, being two
htths OF the entire area of the country.
less than three per cent. Of the popula-
tlon finds its home. The population
has increased rapidly in the regions
having from thirty to forty inches aver
age rainfall Topa3ar Science Monthly.

Bamboo Cuts Are Painful.

A cut inflicted with a blade Of grass or
; sheet of writing paper is bad enough,
but the most d~isagreeable wound that
can be infiicte9 on the human body is
that made with q strip Of bamboo. The
outside of the bamboo contains so much
sileg that It will cut like a knife; in fact,
tie Chinese and japanese do make knives
Of it, which are cheap and for a time
tolerabl5 effective. A cut made with
bamboo is exceedingly hard to heal and
obstinate ulcers are apt to result.
Whether the sick poisons the flesh or
the bad consequences ale due to the
ragged wound is not certain, but anybody
who has cut his finger with q bit Of cane
o torn his hand OIL a fshing-rod will
have some idea Of the unpleasant effects
of cut with a bamboo silver. - Gbs,
