Population and Space.

When we think Of the many vast
cities and the thousands of smaller
towns, along with the immense rural
population the world over, we often
conclude that the world is becoming too
densely populated, and that by and by
we will be crowding each other out of
place in "the struggle for existence"
But with all the apparent immensely
of the population it would take but
very small space, indeed, compared
with the whole of the earth's surface,
to accomm odate the entire crowd when
all collected together. One single
county in the State Of Kansas, for in
stance-and it is not large county,
only forty-eight miles square; there are
larger counties in other states-will
furnish room for comfortably seating
on rocking or inclining chairs every
man, woman and child in the world.
Not only that, but each could lie down
and have ample sleeping room, as each
is allowed a space of AXIS feet for his
or her own plat. Looking at it in that
way, there does not seem to be an over
crowd. With all the people in one
county the world at large would look
barren and dismal enough. The figures
are curious and interesting to the lovers
of such comparisons.

Uses of Glycerine.

Glycerine is one of those substances
that always seem to be lending them
selves to new and unsupported applica-
tions 1t is found that the freezing of
water in the pipes Of hydraulic ma
chinery-a very serious source of
trouble in the winter months-is en-
tirely prevented by the simple expedi-
ent of mixing small percentage Of
glycerine with the water in the pumps
This precaution is now taken in the
operation of the hydraulic jacks on all
the ships of the English navy. Glycer-
inc appears to be just as useful in
maintaining the efficiency Of the human
machinery, for it is recommended as Il
sure cure for Indigestion. A small tea
spoonful should be mixed in half o
wineglassful of water and taken win
or Immediately after each meal until
the trouble is past, which, in an Or
binary case, will be in two or three
days time, and in an obstinate one
probably from ten to fifteen days. The
treatment will have to be renewed if
the Indigestion manifests itself again.

many as four or six of these young
creatures going through this perform
ance, which, though it is called Il dance,
can scarcely be counted as such. How
ever, it is cextain that it exercises a
wonderful fascination over the spccta-
tors. They cannot explain exactly
what it is that attracts them, but all
that have seen these dancers abroad
declare that to see them once is to
long to see them again. AS the dancers
engaged for the worlds fair are stars
in their profession, it is safe to predict
the same results here. The hall where
these performances will be given will
have seating capacity for 1000 persons.

Whenever an inventor hits upon a
simple device that exactly fills in a
niche that has always been vacant in
the public requirements everybody
wonders why the idea was not seized
before. This Is the case with a new
postal card, which will commend itself
most strongly to all classes. 1t is
simply letter card inclosing another
similar device for the reply The cards
are made in one piece, connection be-
ing made by means of a narrow strip
so arranged that when the margin is
torn off the reply portion becomes sep
arated. This combination will prove a
convenience to people whose time is
gold. Letter cards have always been
popular because they save rambling and
formal letters and provide quite enough
room for all that is necessary in large
percentage of business letters. To be
able to inclose prepaid form Of reply
already addressed to yourself is a
courtesy that most correspondents will
highly appreciate, and the consideration
it betokens is very likely to bring its
own reward in the shape of q prompt
answer that would under the usual con.
ditions be more or less delayed.
