full vigor Of his power as a preacher
was calculated to cause a commotion.
1T would doubtless be unjust to the
eminent divine to suggest that he de-
sired to create sensation by his ac-
tlon in this instance. AS a matter
of fact, he has heretofore employed
what critics have called sensational
methods to build up the Tabernacle
and not to do it injury.
Dr. Talmage began studying for
the ministry shortly after leaving
college and was chaplain in the
army during the civil war, but had
not attracted much attention
when he went to Brooklyn, al
though he had gained local
reputation in Philadelphia by
his energy, his eloQuence, and his
original methods. The church to
which he came was broken down and
almost hopelessly disintegrated. He
put new life into it, and drew a
crowd almost from the start. He
was talked about from one end of
the land to the other The COM
ments were not always compliment
airy, but he made many warm friends,
and his church grew and nouMshed.
1t is a significant fact that in all his
devices to attract popular attention
Talmage has confined his sensation
ism to words and methods, He has
not ventured TO proclaim any new or
heretical ideas. He has left new
theological fields unexplored, and has
stuck close to genuine old-fashioned
orthodoxy. Indeed, he doesn't infict

A Man of OrIaInnl Methods.

Naturally the resignation Of Rev,
T. Dewitt Talmage as pastor Of the
Brooklyn Tabernacle caused some-
thing of sensation not only in the
city Of churches but throughout the
whole country, for DR.. Talmage is as
well known in the rest of the Union
as in the State where he was born
and where he became famous. DR..
Talmage has been connected with the
Brooklyn congregation for a quarter
of century, and the sudden termi-

The bomb thrown in Barcelona was
manufactured by Anarchist Sorasol,
now under arrest and was a good
specimen Of mechanical art.
Among the extraordinary methods
employed by the anarchists to de-
stroy those against whom their en-
nifty is directed are canes and UNI
brellas that hold concealed in their
handles a deadly bomb, quite small,
it is true, but with sufficient power
to destroy. The plan is to take the

THE Russian thistle now occupies
about 3d. square miles in the two
Dakotas, and is really troublesome
in about half Of this territory. In
this area about $40, 900 acres are de-
voted to wheat growing, and the
weed has caused loss of fully five
bushels per acre. If this were worth
only fifty cents a bushel, the loss on
wheat alone would be 81, 900, 900.
The loss in other crops injured by
the spines and the fires caused by
the plants jumping fire breaks will
swell the loss to $1,000, 900. 1t is,
however, a weed that need not be
feared, except where farmers try TO
plow more land than they can cult
yate. The plant makes no progress
spreading in sod land or land that
is thoroughly cultivated.

WEATHER AND DISEASE.


An Important Investigation on the Ell
fects of Climatic Conditions.
Secretary Morton has opened new
field of usefulness for the weather
bureau in directing that it shall col
lect data respecting the relation be-
tween certain climatic conditions
and the prevalence of certain cpl
denies of disease, such, for instance,
as the present visitation of la grippe,
says the Philadelphia Record.
That such relation does exist is
something more than a matter of
moral certainty, The archives Of
medical science both at home and
abroad TEEN with evidence showing
the public health islargely dependent
upon atmospheric conditions; but
the investigation of the vitality i'm
portant subject from the meteoro-
logical standpoint, and on a COM
prehensive national scale-which in
time might readily develop into an
international system-could not fail
to let loose flood Of light from
new quarter upon question of i'm
portance to human health, happiness
and progress.
Indeed, it is not impossible that
the sanitary researches Of the weather
bureau might constitute in time its
most valuable function in a specific
sense If not in the popular estima-
tion, and it seems likely, too, that
its evolution in this direction might
be practically accomplished with lit
tie If any appreciable enlargement of
its expenditures.

The Worlds Population.

According to the latest estimates
made by the geographical establish
ment of Gotha, Germany, the present
population of the world is about four
teen hundred and eighty millions.
This may be apportioned as follows,
the numbers being understood TO re-
fer tomillions: Europe, three hun dred
and fifty-seven; Asia, eight hundred
and twenty-six; Africa, one hundred
and sixty-four; American, one hundred
and twenty-two: Australia, three:
Oceanic Islands, seven. Belgium is
still the most densely populated
country of Europe, having five hundred
and thirty to the square mile. Still,
taking Europe as whole, the ratio is
less than one hundred to the mile.
In the United States, Massachusetts
has two hundred and twenty-five to
the square mile, while the general
average is only seventeen. 1t is
evident that there is considerable UNI
occupied land in our country, what
ever Henry George may say when he
looks into cities, and the greatest
benefactor is the agency which can
bring the landless TO the land. And
that is what the Burlington Route
has been doing for years with its lines
reaching out over ten fertile Western
states, ana still there are millions of
pleasant acres waiting TO be made
into happy homesteads and productive
farms. For information as to the
particulars, address any Burlington
Route agent, or write to w. j. z.
