will enter upon an era of stasis, fol- lowed soon by an actual retrogression. The distinguished position in chemistry and physics which Dr. Crookes occu. pies has given to his vaporous vaticina- tions a remarkable vogue. English printed newspapers the world over have given prominent place to his prophecies, and people not familiar with the facts have been thrown into the greatest perturbations by fear of impending starvation. Fortunately Sir William Crookes in dealing with the food supply of the world has entered a field with which he is to a certain ex- tent unfamiliar. and therefore his views are not entitled to the same weight as if they had been expressed concerning the conditions of radiant matter, of the four dimensions or of telepathic inter course.
 Stated briefly, Sir Williams views are as follows.
 First, that the maximum wheat pro- duction of the world will be reached in a few years, and that this maximum is only about 3, 3,260,0OO.000 bushels.
 Second, that the increase in popula- tion of the wheat-eating nations of the world will be rapid enough to absorb the maximum production of wheat in about 1913.
 Third, that it will not be possible, with the acreage and natural fertiliz- CTS available, to increase the wheat production beyond the limit named.
 Fourth, that the chemist must supply

Christian religion will be spread along

Christian religion will be spread along the northern and southern shores of our new possessions wherever a com munity can be found. With mission aries on board speaking the Spanish language, the work will be carried on among the natives of our new islands as long as one remains outside the fold of the shepherd.
 The gospel yacht will be lifeboat to the rowing wanderers of the deep. The wonderful story that has been preached in all the cities, villages and hamlets of this favored country will be taken over the storm tossed waves to the neglected CubanS and Porto Ricans, and white and colored will be blessed by the coming of the Bible boat. This missionar-- yacht will prove itself the most wonderful and successful mission ary agent that has ever been guided by the loving hand of the Great Pilot
 In certain districts along the waters edge of big cities are those poor miser- able and very wretched mortals who have but one more step to take, and that is a midnight plunge in the merci- less waves that usher them into eter- nifty. In those dark haunts of vice and evil our men and workers will go with the open Bible and will point those lost souls to Christ. They will be invited on board the ship to hear the word of him who came to save the Magdaline and the woman who was sinner.
 Garments will be provided for those who are wretchedly destitute, and many will donate their laid-off clothing that may be utilized for this purpose.
 Thus the crew of the yacht will bring

and every man of the crew will be sailor missionary.
 The boat is to be launched on the Ohio River and will reach the ocean by way Of the Ohio and Mississippi waters. All the way down the rivers missionary work will be carried on, and en route for the objective point, the islands of the West Indies, every opportunity to preach Christ to the people will be made the most of.
 The purpose of this yacht. too. will be to help physically. If hungry and naked this sea going vessel will send for supplies. What folly to presume to save soul first when emaciated and broken down with lack of nutrition. Is not this the cause of a sickly soul in a sicAly body?
 We shall recognize no nationality. Cuban and Spaniard alike will be in- vfted to attend our floating chapel. The

Copyrighted, 1898, by S. S. Mcclure Co. HE latest recruit to the ranks of
 jaundiced philosophers is Sir
 William Crookes, the president
 of the British Association for the
 Advancement of Science In his presidential address, delivered lately at Bristol, he took the ground that only wheat-eating nations represented the highest type of civilization, and that the British nation in particular, being inferentially the greatest wheat-eater, presumably represented the highest type. He further attempted to show that in the course of very few years the world would reach it's maximum wheat production, about 3,260,000, GOO bushels, beyond which it would be most difficult to go.
 Should the increase of population continue with unabated rapidity, it is evident from the views of Sir William that, beginning with about 1913, the wheat-eaters will grow short of rations, with the result that brain and brawn

COOKING GOOSE.

Despised.

The advice of well-known auth GRITTY
en- cooking when considering the sub
itct Of cooking goose is: Have some
thing else" 1t certainly hardly pays
TO prepare an old goose for the table.
When poultry is to be selected in mar
ket such a bird is not worth buying at
any price. The flesh is strong and it
requires parboiling before it is roasted
to take out the strong flavor
Geese, however, are often raised on
the farm because they are easily taken
care of or for other reasons, and the
farmers wife must use that which she
has A goose under year old is very
different bird from the old goose. Such
Il bird makes a rich roast. 1t needs no
Iarboiling Clean it very carefully.
Lift up the skin of the breast and that
ever the crop and take out all the fat
that can be reached. The fat has no
culinary value, but is valuable when
tried out into goose grease for various
medicinal purposes. Dredge the goose
inside and outside with salt and pep
per. Prepare the stutfing as follows:
Mash fine six boiled potatoes; add to
them one tablespoonful of salt, one tea
spoonful Of pepper, one tablespoonful
Of powdered sage. two of onion miLceN
as fine as possible and two OF butter.
Fill the goose with the stuffing Dredge
it we'll with flour after stuffing it and
| trusting it into shape, so tina: the stuff
fng cannot come out. This is better
than sewing it up. A medium-sized
young goose will cook in an hour and
n half with brisk fire. Basic the bird
with the drippings in the pan and
dredge it with flour every IS minutes.
Turn it often, 50 that it will be evenly
Drowned. Do not use any butter or fat
CT any kind in cooking goose. There
will be fat enough tried out of the bird
| to cook it.
A goose that weighs four pounds is
large enough for roasting. 1t is hardly
safe to buy larger bird, as it will be
tough. When the bird is done prepare
the gravy. Pour about cupful of boil
ing water into the drippings in the
pan. There should be about a cupful
of liquid dripping. making pint when
the cupful of water is added. Stir well,
and if the gravy is not thick enough
add little -four stirred to paste with
cold water. Season the gravy well with
salt and pepper. After it boils up stir
it well. Serve il in a boat with the
goose. Serve apple sauce with tn. Y.

to me to come up and give somebody lift.

on my stopping further down the mountain

mistress noticed that she was rather

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY

In 1850 the highest house In New
York city had only 1--WE stories.
No fewer than 2,4o1 patents have
been taken out on processes for max
ing sugar and salt.
Among the latest industrial novel
ties are aluminium carpets and steel
billiard balls.
A French inventor claims to have dis
covered a process for converting the
wool on a sleeps skin into a velvet
like substance.
Antiseptic gloves are the latest fad
Of a class which an exchange describes
as "microbe maniacs." The glove is
worn to keep the hand from contact
with door knobs, bell pulls, germ-in-
fected money. etc.
The diminution of cost of produc ZION
effected in modern times by the i'm
provements in processes of manufac-
lure is wonderful. Thus, gross of
steel pens which are sold to-day for so
cents formerly cost $35 TO produce.
In Birmingham 100000 pins are
produced daily, while the other manu-
featuring places of England are respon-
sible for about 10000, 900 day. France
furnishes the market with 10000 600
each day, and Germany and other couD-
tries yield 100000.
The sulphur of Japan is nearly all
obtained from surface volcanic depos-
| its. The output is gradually decreas-
| ing In 1897 the exports were 6,723
tons, of which 1923 tons went to the
| United States. The consumption in
Japan, chiefly in making sulpnuric
acid, is estimated at $500 tons.
Wire fences, which the American
army utilized for telephone lines in
Cuba. are now serving the same pur-
pose in Australia, thus enabling farm
crs to communicate with each other
over distances extending to IL miles.
The system relieves the monotony and
| isolation of life in the back country.
A large paper Louise with l6 rooms
las been erected by Russian gentle
man upon his country seat at Savin-
owka, in Podolia. The house was con-
structed in New York by an American
engineer and cost $4,000 roubles. Its
architect declares that it will last
longer than stone building. To make
the triumph Of paper still more EN-
phatic, the proprietor has resolved that
the whole Of the furniture shall be OF
the same material.

tSpeCial washington Letter.
"Real life in Washington, says one OF
the most experienced reporters OF the
ety. us never depicted in any OF the
local papers, and very seldom referred
TO by Washington correspondents. For
some reason or another the city editors
OF the papers published here are op-
nosed TO the publication of news con-
corning some of the most important
phases OF life.
For example, it is not generally
known that no ladies ride in street cars
in this city. i have been a constant
rider back and forth from the navy
yard to Georgetown and all over the
hills upon the electric lines. and ] have
never yet seen a lady in any street car.
Nevertheless it is fact that there are
three women riding to one man, and
maybe the proportion is greater.
There is comfortable room on either
side Of any of our regular street cars
for ten people. Five women will spread
themselves out over that entire space.
and il another woman enters the car,
no matter if she is feeble and aged.
not single one Of the FIVE women

space will make room for her unless
the conductor requires her to do SO.

FACTS ABOUT LIGHTNING.

Out OF every three persons struck by
lightning two recover.
Churches are said to be the buildings
most commonly struck by lightning.
Experts say the electricity in thun-
derbolt is not very great. but the volt
age is.
One of the best evidences of the value
of lightning rods up to date has been
afforded by the Washington monu-
ment. 1t is capped by small four.
sided pyramid Of aluminium. This
aluminium tip is connected with the
ground by four copper rods, which &c

five times. but 1t suffered no damage
whatever.
