SOME LATE NEW THINGS.

To open tin cans easily, without the
aid of a can opener, a simple device con-
sists of a band around the upper edge
of the can rim with a projecting ear to
be grasped in the fingers and torn away
from the can, when the end of the can
drops of.
Water skates are just coming into use,

rounded front end being strapped to
the foot, the under side Of the plate be-
ing fitted with folding fins which open
as the foot starts to slide backward and
close as it moves forward on the water.
One Of the latest handy combinations
consists. of q step ladder which can be
changed into table, the steps folding
fiat and fitting together to form the
top, the ladder supports being divided
in the center and attached to the
corners of the ladder to form the legs of
the table.
Street cars are now being built with
vestibuled ends, in which folding doors
are used to inclose the motorman's sec
ton, leaving room enough on spch end
of the car for passengers to enter the
car without interfering with the mo-
torman, the doors fitting in a recess
when not in use.
In new ice velocipede the wheel is
fitted on two runners, with slot in the
hack runner, through which a number
of steel points fixed on the tire project
to strike the ice and drive the wheel, the
whole appliance folding up in a small
bundle easily attached to the wheel
when not in use.
Poultry nests are now made with an
{ automatically-working bottom, to re-
move the eggs from the nest as soon as
| they are laid and prevent tho hens from
breaking or eating them, the floor of
the nest springing up and rolling the
eggs out OF sight as soon as the hen
starts to leave the nest.

Over Population.

At lecture before the Academy
OF Science mt Brussels few days sgo,
it was asserted that time will come
when there viii be too many people
upon this globe. and that some
action OF nature will have to be in
voked to dispe nse with the over pop
ulation. From statistics it appears
that the population OF the world in
1892 was 1.302O'0,000. and IN 1899 it
was / 4so 000, 900, an increase in eight
years OF $40 0,000, or more than 6
per cent. It. was futher stated that,
taking this as basis Top calculation
in the period Of 1856 Years there will
not be sufficient productions on the
earth to feed it's inhabitants.
From census returns the popula-
ton OF Europe hns doubled in seventy
years. According To the learned
English geogranher, Ravenstein,
there will be more people than the
earth Can feed, in ITS years 1t IS

Rarding the increase OF population
among the American people was

Lieutenant Peary has organized an
other expedition to try and reach the
North Pole. He believes that he will
be better prepared this time, having
p~otitted by his former experience to
make the journey. From a scientific
point of view, no doubt the finding OF
the North Pole would be great
event, but just what particular adj.
vantage it would be to ordinary
people, is as yet considerably in
doubt. The majority of the earth'f
inhabitants are more interested i,

in what's going on or likely to occur
at the North Pole, consequently there
will not be any great interest mani
