MORE ROOM NEEDED.

 Necessity of Providing for Our Future Two Hundred Millions.
 That there are children now born who will live long enough to see the people of the United States number from 5O,O0O,OOC to 200 OO0, GOO, says Erastus Wiman in the current number of the Engineering Magazine, is con sideration that should have great weight in contemplating the conditions that now are beginning to prevail. If, in the ten years just closed, the popula- ton has increased at rate of nearly 25 per cent, and we now start out with 65,O00,000, fifty years at the same rate of progression will bring the population up to very nearly 200, O0O,OOO. But, even if the same rate is not maintained, and if only 15O, 1000, ,OOO is reached, this enor- nous growth will have consequences of character that should now be consid- cred, with special reference to enlarged territory and widened area of opportun- ity. There is hardly anything more certain under the sun than this growth, and its certainty should deeply impress every one who thinks at all with the importance of making preparation for an increase so momentoCJL 4E-

HOW THEY STRIKE IN CHINA.
Mongolian Miners Quit Work on the Most
 Trivial of Pretexts.

Mongolian Miners Quit Work on the Most
 Trivial of Pretexts.
 There is an impression in America that strikes are unknown in China. My experience is quite to the contrary, says writer in the Engineering Magazine. The Chinese have invented the mar iner's compass, gunpowder and strikes: but the only one of the three which they have developed fully is the art of striking. Whenever they want any thing they ask for it by announcing strike. did not appreciate at first the importance of their feast days, and when the first one came round they not only struck but two hundred of them came up and mobbed my house. No violence was attempted, but the in- terchange of views was like the chatter ing of ten thousand monkeys. I yielded. The miners would strike if they did not like their shift boss, strike if they had a bad dinner in the company kitchen, strike for any reason. Once when mine, mill and furnace were in full blast the miners all struck for some insignificant cause. Tired of approximation, I sent for the head men and told them grave ly that had no objection to the strike if the men wished it, but that the mill and furnace could not stop. They had to go right on, and it was very costly to keep them at work without ore. I said that I did not think it was right to make the company pay the loss, and that I should fine the workmen three days pay for every day they were off duty. There was great hubbub. The miners came to know if what the head man told them was true. They went to work the next day, and striking was free in that mine ever after, but each man paid for his own fun. In the end however, they devised a more potent mode of warfare. They went into the mine with delightful regularity. They put in their time, but did not put out their ore, and our product fell off seven tV-fiVe per cent.

THE DEMON OF cHoKE-DAMP.
Men Used to Believe That the Gas in

Men Used to Believe That the Gas in
 Mines Was a Living Devil.
 Thanks to men like Valentine, the idea of the interference of Satan and his minions with the mining industry was gradually weakened, and the work ing of the deserted mines was resumed writes Dr. Andrew D. White, in Popu.. lar Science Monthly; yet, even at a comparatively recent period, we find it still lingering, and among leading di- vines in the very heart of Protestant Germany. In 1715 cellar-digger hav- ing been stifed at Jena, the medical faculty of the university decided that the cause was not the direct action of the devil, but deadly gas. Thereupon Prof. Loescher, of the university of Wittenberg, entered a solemn protest, declaring that the decision of the med ical faculty was ''only a proof of the lamentable license which has so taken possession of us, and which, if we are not earnestly on our guard, will finally turn away from us the blessings of God" But denunciations of this kind could not hold back the little army of science. In the last half of the eigh- teenth century Black, Priestly, and es- pecially Bergmann, rooted out the very foundations of the whole theologic the ory, and one m ore phantom which had long troubled the earth was at last driven forth forever.

EXPLORATIONS IN THE ARCTIC.
Navigating tho Polar Ocean No Longer a Matter Of Chance.

4 Matter of Chance.
 The experience that has been brought down from the various Arctic expedi- tions, and more particularly from the different whalers which every year traverse much of the northern icy seas, has infused an element of certainty intd Arctic navigation which could hardly have been realized by the heroes of period twenty-five or thirty years ago, says Dr. Angelo Heilprin in an article on "The Perry Relief Expedition in Scribner. The capture of the Melville bay pack of McClintock'S Fox in the latter part of August, 1857, could scarce ly be paralleled to-day, except as the outcome of ignorance or disregard Ot everyday knowledge. In an average season Melville bay can be traversed about as readily as almost any large body of water lying southward, while its earliest seasonal passage can be pre- dicated with a precision almost akin to mathematical calculation. Tie hard pack ice, which has accumulated as the result of the winter's frost, and has to an extent been held together through the large bergs which are here and there scattered through it, usually shows the first sign of weakness between July 15 and 20. Large cakes or pans of ice have by that time succumbed to the power ful oceanic currents that are directed against them, and, detaching themselves from the parent mass, float off to find new havens of their own. The weak ening process continues until most of the ice has been either removed or melt ed away and before the close of the fourth week of July little beyond shore ice (shore pan) remains to indicate the barrier which but few days before rendered passage all but impractical ble. The trend of the ice is northwest ward through the bay, then westward to the American side, and finally south to the open sea. It was the purpose of the relief expedition to reach the south ern boundary of the Melville bay pack on or about the 2Oth of the month, and there watch the movements of the ice until the opportunity for action ar rived. An earlier traverse might possi- ply have been made through persistent ''butting" of the ice, but the dangers incident to this form of navigation were such as to render slowness a prudent measure of safety. .,...s .<......, ~-G

During the prevalence of the Grippe the past seasons it was a noticeable fact that those who depended upon Dr. Kings New Discovery, not only had a speedy recovery, but escaped all of the troublesome after effects of the malady. This remedy seems to have a peculicr power in effscting rapid cures not only in cases of La Grippe, but in all Diseases of Throat, Chest and Lungs, and has cure cases of Asthma and Hay Fever of long standing.

be Democrat, there is no division of sentiment, and that is for the re-appointment of MT. Gates to the position which he so ably and honestly filled under the last Demo cratic administration. The argu- ment which has been used against the appointment of a Yuma man that he would be inuriously affect ed by local infuences-does not hold good in the case of MT. Gates. Anybody who knows him would laugh at the idea of his standing in" with a steal. Thos. Gates IS a poor man as far as money goes, but he has a wealth of hard headed honesty. None of his political opponents ever charged him with the slightest departure from strict integrity while occupy ing public office. Combined with this, Is executive ability of uncom- mon order, and a sturdy independ- ence which has made him hosts of friends.
 Speaking as fellow townsman of opposite politics, we sincerely hope that the rumor referred to is true, and in saying this the feeling of nine out of every ten people in the county is voiced.
