Formulation 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 1.-The struggle for existence"
But with all the apparent immensely
of the population it would take but Il
very small space, indeed, compared
with the whole Of the earth'S surface,
to accommodate the entire crowd when
all collected together. One single
county in the State Of Kansas, for in
stance-and it is not a 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 4xS feet for his
OF 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.

4 Popular Postal Card.

Whenever an inventor hits upon 4
simple device that exactly fills in Il
niche that has always been vacant in
the public requirements everybody
wonders why the idea was not seized
before. This is the case with new
postal card. which will commend itself
most strongly to all classes It is
simply Il letter card inclosing another
similar device for the reply. The cards
are made in one piece, a connection be-
ing made by means of Il 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 a 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 a prompt
answer that would under the usual con.
ditions be more or less delayed sgs

To Aid Arctic Explorers.

Dr. Nausen's late lecture before the
British Geographical society contained
many suggestions of ingenious devices
for future Arctic explorers, most. of
which involved electricity in their
makeup. He proposes to have wind

when the wind fails the crew will OPP

Tile Wearing of En1x

The latest practice in the econon1 If
rolling stock on railways is to turn the
cars at the end Of each trip whereby a.
large percentage of extra wear and tear
is saved. Some years ago Il portion Of
the wabash Railroad was laid with old
Engllsh iron rails and a small part with
steel r;1lls from the Carnegie mills. Tt
became necessary after Il time to
remove some Of the main line rails TO
another part of the road, and it was
observed that after relaying them
many gave out Immediately, while
others manifested no signs of wear.
TO determine the reason Of this ap-
parently understandable condition an
investigation was ordered which
showed that the road from which the
rails had been removed was built in a
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. direction, and that
in relaying a large number had been
turned end for end. Those that had
not been so placed exhibited no addi-
tlOnal loss by attritiOn, while the turned
rails succumbed in from thirty to ninety
days. The conclusion arrived at was
that the metal had become polarized
from long use, when first laid. and that
the fiber was broken up by the traffic in
the opposite direction. 1t was further
proved that cast-iron wheels generally
yielded twice the mileage when the
cars were turned at each end of the
journey than when they We're run back
ward and forward without reversing.
Notwithstanding the value of this dis
covery, 1t was not universally utilized.
and il is only recently that some Of the
American railroads have begun to REQ
ognize it's Importance.

Poverty and Clothes.

One marked difference between the
very poor in the English cities and the
corresponding class in American tewns
is that the latter buy Their clothing OF
tailors ara manufacturers, and there
fore get it new. while the English poor,
and particularly the English women Of
low estate, prefer the cast-off finery Of
ssthe quality that is sold at the secoud-
hand shops. The result is that the
American laborer and his wife make a
better appearance in their cheap, but
simple and suitable garments than the
London NAVY or hawker, with a shiny.
ill fitting broadcloth, and his wife in a
garnish hat with broken feathers, and
questionable, not to say bedraggled
skirts. -NeW York Sun.

An Iceberg, Finder.

n suggestion has been made that an
excellent opening now offers itself to
electrical inventors for devising an a,l-
tomato appliance for giving notice to
the officers of Il ship when it enters
water Of temperature so low as to
indicate the proximity of an iceberg.
The solution of this problem may prob
ably be facilitated by the publication
OF the ideas of an electrician as to the
lines on which such an invention might

battery might be connected by wires
forming two circuits, one much longer
than the other. A properly constructed
thermometer could be placed so as to
