Coal and Population.

1t is quite true that the temperate
regious of the word are lecoming
more populous, Just as it is e uaIlv
tue thar the stock Of coal in the
world is being gradually exhausted.
The coal supplies Of the Uuited
Kingdom are, for all practical pur-
poses, much larger then they were
fifty years ago, when a great geologist
persuaded a great minister to staye
OFF a prospective danger by imposing
an export duty on coal. Since that
time new coal fields have been dis
covered, new mines have been opened,
old mines have been worked at
depths which would have been de-
clared impsacticable then, and the
stock Of available coal, though hun.
dredS OF millions Of tons have been
consumed in the interval, is actually
larger than present reign. Just the
au thing may be said of the great
countries in the Western and South
ern H~emiSpheres, which are bccOm-
ing the new homes Of the Teutonic
race.
Almost every new trade route,
almost every new colonial railway,
has opened out fresh territory to the
co.onist, and the land available for
cOlUnizatiOns, instead of becoming
less, is for all practical purposes,
greater than it was fifty years ago.
True that, in the United States,
most of the land has already been
appropriated, while the population
has increased till it has doubled that
Of Great Britain. But, vast as is the
population of the United states, they
would easily sustain, if they were
peopled as England is pcopled,
twenty times their present numbers.
The AnglO-SaXOn race might 60 on
multiplying at its present rate for $50
years, and might pour the whole ad-
dition TO its numbers into the states,
and, at the end Of that period, they
would not be more thickly peopled
than the Netherlands are now. The
States, however. are only one of the
countries which are available for
European c%OlOniSts. How thick
stand their numbers on the fertile
territory of Manitoba, or on the still
larger and undeyeloped regions which
may be vaguely included in the term
Northwestern America! How little do
we still know of Jul great Australia
Sian territory, and how much of it
still remains available for %appropria-
ton in the coming centurieS.-.The

POlYGlOT WHALING CREWS.
Queer Crowds That Tackle Months of Hard
Work in the Arctic.

Queer Crowds That Tackle Months of Hard
Work in the Arctic.
The crew of a whaler is one Of the
curiositieS of the sea. and is composed
Of almost e. cry nationality under the
sun except Americans. When a
captain is shipping a crew for a whal-
ing cruise he never inquiries for sail
ors. The class of men he looks for
are those who can be broken in to
bOat-pulling and who will be content
with usage and ratiOns that he knows
no sailor would submit to for a single
day. Young, strong, able fellows,
who have been steering mules and
working on ranches all their lives,
are the men the whaling skipper pre-
fers, and the ones he generally gets,
ii he can. Enough of these are taken
on board at san Francisco, says the
Chronicle, to work the ship down to
the Hawaiian Islands, when most of
them desert, and the real work Of
picking a crew is done.
South Sea Islanders, negroes. In
dians from Alaska, Germans, Russian
Fins, Mexicans, INC Chileans are the
men drawn upon to fill the crews in
Honolulu. OF course, many of them

The dress Of the men is as varied
