A Little Flower Worth $4,000.

A remarkable lucky find of valu-
able orchid has resulted in bringing
certain amount of fame and certain
amount of money to the lucky inn
porter. This is Mr.. Sander of st. Al
bans, London, England, whose name
is well known TO all who take an in
terest in these parasitic plants.
Three years ago he imported some
specimens of Cypripedrum, or Lady's
Slipper, the commonest and cheapest
of the orchid tribe. In TIE lot he
found one which proved in Towering
to be golden yellow instead of green,
as usual. Knowing it must be valu-
able, he divided the plant into two
portions, one of which he sold TO Mr..
R. II. Measures for $3.50, and the
other he sent to auction, where 1t was
bought by Baron Schroeder for S400.
Mr.. Measures divided his half into
four parts, one of which he sold to
Mr.. II. j. Measures of Camberwell,
the second to Mr.. +. L. Anne of Bos-
ton, Mass, the third he kept for him
self, and the fourth Mossrs. Sander,
the original owners Of the whole
plant, have bought for no less sum
than $1250. According to the price
paid for an eighth of the original
plant it would appear that its first
value was $4,000.
Baron Schroeder is one Of the most
notable collectors in the country, and
at his place in Egham, Surrey, he has
a collec ion of these plants which must
have cost him something like $780,
900. lie has himself sold a specimen
of the species Cypripedium Stonei for
$500, and other sales are recorded in
which specimens have fetched nearly
if not quite as large prices. - New

Dead Sea Water an AntIseptic.

The discovery has recently been
made that the water of the Dead Sea
is a powerful 9ntiseptic An expert
menting chemist recently tried it upon
germs, or more properly, microbes, of
diphtheria, measles, scarletina, small
pox, and various other zymotic dis
orders, and found that the microbes
were killed inside of forty-eight hours.
Whether it will prevent bacterial
growth in wounds is yet to be deter
mined. but so far everything is in its
favor, and it may soon come to pass
that Dead Sea water will be on sale
at so much bottle. 1t can be easily
fabricated.-[New Orleans Picayunc.

The Population Of the World.


vi course any attempt TO give an
estimate Of the total population of
the world must be made without Law
ing any claim to such close accuracy
as is possible in compiling the popu-
lation Of the civilized countries, which
have perfected a system of careful
enumeration Of the people, still such
estimates are made, and as the nnm-
Der of countries taking accurate con-
suses of their population has greatly
increased, the element Of pure con-
jecture has largely diminished, par
ticularly rs more frequent commune
cation with the semi barbarous regions
has enabled statisticians to estimate
with much better chance of success
the poulations of those portions of
the world where no actual enumera-
ton has been taken.
The percentage Of the total popula-
ton of the world, which has been
enumerated with greater of less de-
gree of precision, is said to be fifty
seven per cent Of the whole The
population of the earth is put by re-
cent German statistics at nearly l.
4S0, 900, 900. The increase of total
population since 1882 has been in
round numbers about 10000, 900, or
at the rate of between 5000, 900 and
5000, 900 a year. 1t appears from
The statistics given that the density Of
population is greatest in Europe,
which has ninety-four inhabitants 10
the square mile. 1t is next greatest
in Asia, where there are forty-seven
inhabitants to the square mile. Africa
comes third, with fourteen inhabitants
to the 'quare mile, and then follow
the Oceanic Islands, America and
Australia, with ten. eight and one to
The square mile respectively.
According to these figures there is
room in the new world for a great in
crease in population If the figures
for Europe for "a inhabitants to the
square mile be accepted as the max
imum, which does not necessarily fol-
low. America, with only eight persons
20 the square mile. could support II
times as many people as ut present.
A long time must therefore elapse be-
fore the new world becomes as dense
ly populated as Europe.
Despite the rapid advance of Austria
ia, that vast British possession has
only one inhabitant per square mile.
which indicates very clearly that
AtsgFs iss sssessfssibls ca vast -sla- de-
gree of development before there need
be any danger of overfowing. -

Careful measurements, made on
persons of both sexes by Professor
e. NJ. West, have so far yielded some
definite results which are published as
preliminary; further details will no
doubt be forthcoming later. In the
case of the female face, the results go
TO show that there are three distinct
periods of growth, the first of which
ends at about the seventh year, the third
beginning about the age of fifteen.
The abrupt transition from one period
to another Is indicated by the very
slow growth of some children until
the ages of eight and fourteen, when
rapid development often occurs.
From the fifth to the tenth year the
average growth appears to be about
6.5 millimetres. and from this time
little advance is made, the maximum
being reached about The age of twen-
