Says the New York Sun: The mag
netic needle has been acting in very
erratic manner recently in some parts OF
France aud Scotland, where its dccli-
nation now is twenty to twenty-five
minutes greater than it was few months
ago, though no change has occurred in
the adjacent regions. Scientific men do
not know how to account for this mag
netic anomaly, unless it indicates that
metal bearing rocks in the depths of the
earth have been displaced by some pro-
found geological disturbance, which is
made apparent at tho surface by these
unusal vagaries of the needle. The
theory was long ago advanced that ter
restrial magnetism, il we could read it
Alright, would explain what is going on
In the bowels OF the earth; aud in the
connection that the geologists are dls'
posed to trace between th9 recent mag.
netic disturbances and subterranean geol-
ogy we have another illustration OF the
sciences, n great truth to which Wallace
called attention so vividly when hi
based conclusions relating to prehistoric
geological changes upon the present dis
tribution OF fauna IN the Malayan archi-
pelago.

Says the Baltimore Sun: The great in-
crease OF insanity in the United States,
an increase far in excess Of the increase
of population, is justly Attracting atten-
ton. An illustration of this increase is
given in the statistical tables Of the Ne v
York Board of Charities, which has just
been reported to the State lie yislature.
The figures show that the number of in ..
sane patients in New York asylums has
increased from 9537, in 1880, to 1857,
in 1891. 1t is further estimated that
counting the insane not in the asylu MS
the total number in the State will reach
10000.

Professor McCook, of Hartford Conn. ,
finds in his investigation of the tramp
nuisance that of 1925 cases coming un.
der his notice, iitty-six per cent. were
American born, while bat about ten per
cent. we're unable to real or write. OF
1914 tramps, 459, says the professor,
claimed to be strictly temperate in their
use of alcoholic drinks, while thirty OF
them boldly declared themselves as total
abstainers. 1t is more likely that the
only really temperate ones of the 1906
and odd were the thirty who never
touched drop.

Some of the revelati ous OF the census
will startle a good many people, remarks
the Boston Transcript. For instance,
there are now more than half u million
almond trees actually bearing in tho
United States; there are hundreds Of
thousands of bearing cocoanut trees;
there are more than a quarter of milliol
olive trees, producing fruit equal to the
best Mediterranean varieties. There arc
more than half million bearing bauaua
plants, 2O0,0 bearing lemon trees,
1000, 900 orange trees and 81, 900, 600
pineapples. And the value of tropical
and semi-tropical fruits grown under the
American flag is nearly $40, 900, 900.

"Walnut lumber as commercial
quantity 10 the lumber trade is almost a
thing of the past" said prominent
local dealer to the Man About Town OF
the st. Louis Republic the other day.
SIT is not because there is any real
scarcity in the supply of timber from
which walnut lumber may be made, but
from the fact that the craze for walnut
furniture has died out entirely or nearly
so. Oak, ash and maple have taken its
place, principally oak. The craze for
all sorts of furniture in the latter timber
is causing a wholesale onslaught on the
best timbers in the country, and has
run the prices of first and second grades
way up. A few years more of the craze
for oak will exhaust the supply of bes,
grades and then some other wood will
become the fashion"

COST or the GERMAN ARMY.
Enormous Military Burden of the
Empire to BE Increased.

The financial necessities OF Emperor Will
lam will not down. The loss OF troops to
the triple alliance by proposed reductions In
Italy and Austria, the Emperor thinks
must be made up by Germany, and an enor-
nous increase Of the empires military bur-
dens IL therefore contemplated. The new
Bill, It is now reported, will propose an In
crease, the expense OF which could hardly
be brought below O0,000,000 marks.
In the last 20 years Germany has seen her
ordinary military expenditures climb from
800 OOO, 900 to 500, 100000 per annum. and
meantime has spent total OF sos, ,OOO,OO1
in extraordinary appropriations Her total
expenditure for army and navy since the
Franco Prussian war has been S2,7bO,O0 :
900. All except the civilian CbauSin lists
and the army officers say the country has
been sucked dry, and that such a plan as
the Emperor's to build q colossal army like
! RussIas, would, If realized, result In open
rebellion throughout the empire.

In New York State during 1891 the
deaths by consumption were 13, 445, as
compared with 13, s3l in 1890. This is
equivelant to 100 deaths in 1909 deaths
from all causes, ratio decidedly lower
than was observed during the last quin.
quennium. The ratio has been known
lin 1885 to arise to 1877 in thousand

It is said that the farmers OF Florence,
s. c., made $50, 900 last year by chang

According to the American Cultivator,
many Southern planters will change

year.
