From the PHiladelphia Record.
A growing industry in Philadelphia is the
sawdust business. Forty years ago the
lumber mills were glad to have sawdust
carried away; twenty-five years ago it could
be bought for 80 cents a load: now 1t brings
$50 a load. 1t is used in hotels, saloons
groceries and other business houses for the
absorption of dirt when sweeping. Plumb
erS use 1t great deal about pipes and walls

A CENSUS OF THE WORLD.

One of the great tasEs mapped out
for the beginning OF tue next century
is complete census u the whole
world. 1t has, OF course, never before
been attempted, as far as known. The
very TACT that it 10 now regarded a.
possible is an evidence OF the progress
that knowledge about the world we in.
habit has made within the century
that Ia rapidly passing away.
According to the best authorities,
such as Professors Benin and Wagner,
Goettingen, the population of the globe
is now estimated at 100000, 600.
But this figure Is largely guessw RI,
based mainly on the reports OF travellers,
In Chine. Persia, Arabia, Turkey
and vast portion Of Africa and else.
where no census has been obtainsble,
and the figures are necessarily unrelia.
BILE. 1t ia now thought that by au
Intelligent effort census can be Oh.
tsined practically all over the globe.
The gigantic project was dncussed
at the congress OF the International
Statistical Institute recently held 10
Bern, Switzerland, and the result was
the appointment Of committee, con.
s'sting OF statisticisns, travellers and
geosraphers, to propose an acceptable
method whereby the plan can be
realized. LII Hung Chang promised

RAILWAY SPEED IL TAE CITY,

There is before the City Council an
application from one OF the railways
to allow an increase In the maximum
speed OF running trains In the city
from eight to twelve miles per houf'
The particular district covered In
cludes a section in which many resi-
dents are avetse to the increase asked
for; and white the higher rate OF speed
might facilitate railway movement,
the general public has an interest In
this matter to which the City Council
should give special consideration.
The maximum speed at which reil-
wsy trains are now allowed to travel
within the city Unite is eight
miles per hour; yet ii lie well known
fact that railways daily violate THIS
regulation. Sometimes, and not in
frequently, trains travel within the
city limits across streets at coneider'
ably higher speed; 1t is not unusual 10
note q rate OF twenty miles an hour.
and so long "a no catastrophe follows
no specIal'complaint lie made. But If
an accident does occur, the fact OF a
train going at higher rate than Is
lawful renders the railway liable for
damages. To raise the maximum from
eight to twelve miles per hour would
nfford an opportunity for still higher
speed than lie now taken as license, and
would thus Increase the danger 10 the
public, at the same time relieving the
railway OF much responsibility in case
OF accident.
As a mater of fact, an allowed
speed of twelve miles an hour for a
train coming up TO and rushing across
q street Is altogether too high. II
there were gates and guards to protect
the public 1t might be different. Eight
miles, with tue license customariIy
tskan above that, Is sufficient for all
purposes when the safety OF the public
is Involved. II is true that eight
miles Is not very fast, only nile Ia
seven and half minutes, or about q
minute to go a full city block; an d
few trains travel that Glow. Blu
when 1t ia exceeded, the responsibility
for injury thereby should be with the
railway. A heavy moving train is moi
like a street car that can be brought 10
a standstill In a short space; Its great
weight carries it long distance under
the best brakes, hence the soeed should
be kept well down and any excess be
taken at the compaDy's riak. The
railways should be afford d every
consistent opportunity and convent.
enoe, but 1t is opposed to the public
welfare to make cross streets along rail
way tracks places where the public en-.
ter only AT imminent rerll Of lie and
limb, which "a twelve-mile maximum
without guards and gates would do.
Further than this, the railway re-
quest referred TO asks q special privl-
lege or immunity for the road making
1t. The State Constitution prOhibit-
the Legislature from "granting TO an
individual, association or corporation
any privilege, immunity or franchise
In special law; and surely city
council cannot make lawful thai
which would be Unconstitutional in 6
legislative enactment.

The origin of the Stundist NOV

colonists who were In the habit OF de.

by tho Russian neighbors, and the
Effect was noticeable. They became
