a MIGHTY EMPIRE.
The Population ana Military StrenRth
of British india.

The Population and Military strength
of British india.
In view of the question raised by re-
cent events as to the ability of India
to withstand the attacks of the 'Afridis
and other tribes on its northwestern
frontier. it is of interest to note that
the population last February was $685.
100000, says the Baltimore Sun. The
area of India is equal to that of all
Europe. without Russia. Excluding
European languages there rs languages
spoken, and 90 languages are spoken
by as many as 100000 each AS re-
spects religion. 207. .T30, 900 are Hindoos.
57320,000 Mohammerlans, 7,o05,000
Buddhists and 1.40t, 900 Christians. The
differences of race. language and reli-
gion make cooperation against the
English practically impossible, so that
the difficulty in controlling the coun-
try is not so great as it looks. The
army by which it is kept in order and
defended consists of 224,25o men. of
whom 1920 are British and 120, ,0G3 are
natives. To maintain internal order
there are 10000 native police. officered
mainly by Europeans. There are be-
sides the regular army some $1,000 vol
unteers and native troops, reserves. etc,
for military service in an emergency.
Back of all is the British army. which
numbers, including the $4,000 now in
India, some 9o7 900, with large resources
OF volunteers from Australia, South
Africa. Canada, ETC., available in time of
need.

DISTANCE MERCURY REACHES.


Enough to stretch Miles.
While almost anyone knows about
the principles on which ordinary ther-
mometcrs operate, there are number
of things about the little instrument
which are not generally known, and
which are of a great deal of interest,
says the Boston Transcript One of the
most peculiar of these is the question
of the length of tube which the mercury
in the bulb of an ordinary Thermometer
would fill if it. were stretched out in a
single column the size of that in the
tube.
Most people, when asked how long
this would be, would probably say from
five to fifteen feet, while as matter of
fact this column of mercury world in
an extremely delicate instrument be
miles in length The reason of this is
that the column of mercury, while it
appears quite lurgri is really of almost
intinitesimal size. If the tube of II ther-
morneter is broken, one is Mt first a
loss to see where the mercury goes in,
but a close examination will disclose

running across the end of the tube,
and this is one end of little slit in
which the mercury rises. As it has it's
flat side toward the eye, it appears TO
be quite lnrgc, and the convcNity of the
outside of the tube, through which it
is seen, rnagnifies it, and gives it that
rounded appearance which is so dectp-
tive. The reason why the slit is made
so SINAI! is to give the greatest ratio of
result for the expansion of the mercury

The Strongest Chain.

The greatest and strongest chain ever
made has but recently left the Tipton
Green iron works, England. It is in
tended for crane work at Chatham
wharf, and consists of oval links forced
severally of 3la-inch rods, each link he
ing 20 inches long and 10 wide. Since
there was no machinery available for
testing a chain of such dimensions, the
test was made by actual suspension of
weight OF 100000 pounds from each
link.

PEOPLE everywhere are wondering
about balloonist Andree who was going
to find out the color Of the north pole
by sailing up there and anchoring to
the stick for close view. The knowl-
edge of him since he set sail has been
nothing. May be when he got up there
the air currents drew MIN into Symmes'
Hole, and he may now be sailing
around in the hollow core of Mother
Earth. Hot gas in there would be
cheap, too, and he wouldn't have to
have it metered into his balloon.
Andree and all the balance of the
fellows who go to find the pole, may
just as well fly or sail where it is pleas
anter, for their practical contributions
to science will do about as much good
to humanity as would the knowledge
of the number of freckles on the nose
of the King of Dahomey.

A WEED DETERMINATION.


Valuable Services Are Rendered e
the FaFn BY sheep.
Sheep are one of the best weed-ex.
terminators on Q farm. A few sheen
turned into a field where foul stuff is
growing in the fence corners and around
stone piles will soon have it all cleared
away.
They seem to enjoy standing on their
hind legs to reach up into the top OF
some bush to give it . good browsing.
would not dispose of all my sheep on
this account if wool were worthless,
although am in hopes Of seeing wool
reach its former price in . couple OF
years.
Sheep, in order to produce heavy
growth of wool, and ut the same time
mise q lamb. must have special care.
Some farmers seem to think that sheep
will live on any kind Of pasture at any
time of year without any water to drink.
Sheep cared for in this way are a loss
to anyone, for the wool is of inferior
quality. and will not sell for as much as
the wool from well-fed and cared-for
focks.
There has been q vast change in our
fiocks of to-day and Is years ago. At
that time sheep was all right il it had
= strip Of wool on its back. The up-to-
date sheep has wool where there IL
sheep.
Sheep are good property once more,
and the farmer who sold out will not
have a better opportunity to replace
his flock at small cost than at the pres
emit time. There has been nm enormous
decrease in sheep in the United States
during the past few years. This in
time will raise the price Of both NUT
ton and wool, 20 one cannot 60 far

which should be raised from the floor
slightly. The solid excrements should
be wheeled to the receptacle provided
for them, which may be excavated a
foot or more below the level of the &C.
mentcd alley way.
The dotted lines within the pen show
where by scantling may be tackled
to the floor to keep the bedding in place.
The dotted lines on the outside of the
building show where yards may be
constructed, but the better plan is to
have two pasture lots of considerable
size, one on either side of the building.
as land is. cheap and lumber and labor
expensive.
The floors should be laid on pounded
earth covered with about half an inch
of salt to preserve them. and should
have dip of to inches from rear to
front. Swing doors may be construct
ed at the side for the passage of the
animals to and from the yards or pas
lures.
The roof story may be used for stor.
Ing corn. meal and straw. or ii it is too
much work to carry the heavier ma.
terial to the loft, one of the pens. pref
erably the one under the stairway,
might be used for storing food.
The building may be made somewhat
narrower than shown, and rs long al
desired. In no case should pig-pen
floors, in a cold climate. be up from the
ground. If the building is put on dry
ground or drained, the earth underneath
the floors will become dry and the pens
will be warmer, since no drafts of air
can circulate under them.
The diagram is made from a pen SINH
lar to this one which has been in use
some eight or fen years and has proved
extremely satisfactory. The floor, in
any case, will be wet along the troughs
near the alley. and by tipping them to-
ward the alley all surplus moisture will
find it's way to the cemented floor, leav-
ing the back of the pen dry and COM
Portable. In winter time, when the
doors for egress are closed. the ANIMALS
are likely to drop their solid weddings
at the side of the bed. The scantling
nailed upon the floor will mark the lire
between them and the bed. In any
case the pens should be cleaned daily
and sprinkled with some absorbent as
