Hubner's Statistical

Hubner's Statistical and Geo.
graphical tables, as result of the latest
Investigations, give the population Of
the world at 1885, 900, 900. This is
an increase over the figures of 1896 Of
23,000,00o. To this increase Europe
is credited with contributing $780,
300; Asia, 6, 200, 900; Africa, 1900, 900;
America, 100000. The United
States, with its great growth, esti-
mated by this authority at $500, 900,
and its present population, placed at
$4,000, 900, represents more than fifty
three per cent. of the entire popula-
lion of North and South America-a
circumstance adduced as highly signif.
cant, and occurring in no other part Of
the earth. The population of Europe
was increased to 37S, 900, 900, which is
about quarter of the entire popula-
tion of the earth.

Since the days of the old-fashioned
stereopticon, the improvement of pro-
iecting and moving pictures has been
one of the surprising advances of tho
age. From that crude and imperfect
beginning, the evolution of the pres
ent marvellous effects has been steady,
and, considering what has been
achieved, exceedingly rapid. 1t is
now possible to throw upon canvas
the most perfect delineations of life
street with everything in motion,
and with all as clear and distinct as
though actually seen by the unaided
vision. Among the latest improve
ments in this line is one by means of
which the operator may introduce
other figures into pictures already
shown. 1t is possible to do this with
ordinary lantern slides, and change
and shift the picture in such a
way that the realistic effect is en-
HANGED, rather than diminished. The
same lantern will permit OF the use
Of kineoptoscope accessories, which
add 80 much to the success Of enter.

To-MoRRoWs PINS,

Where is the thrill of last nights feari
Where is the stain Of last nights tear?
Where is the tooth that ached last year?
Gone where the lost pins go to.
For last nights riddle is all made plain,
The sunshine laughs at the long past rain,
The tooth that ached has lost its pain
That's what our troubles grow to.
We can stand the smart of yesterday;
To-day's worse ills we can drive away;
What was and what is bring no dismays
For past and present sorrows.
But the burdens that make US groan and
sweat,
The troubles that make us fume and fret
Are the things that haven't happened yet,
The pins that We'll find tomorrow.
Robert Burdette.

The Louisville Courier Journal says
We have heard a great deal recently
about the pride of Spain. We know
hat the Spaniards are proud people,
or they tell us so themselves on every
occasion. But what are they proud
OF? There is no nation in Europe
which is so illiterate as Spain, with
the single exception of Italy. OF
Spain's entire population sixty eight
per cent can neither read nor write.
Says a writer: ."Before the age OF
steam engines and telegraphs, when
Europe was semi civilized, Spain was
. great nation. She was strong
savage among savages. But this is
the age not of cruelty land how cruel
Spain has been and ISL. 1t is the age
when amity not enniiSy rules or is
making to rule. For the sake o.
romance l would not like to see Spain
die. She is so full of color, so anon.
alous, so alone in Europe, so nobly
fierce, SO proud among Nations that
have almost given up the savage pride
we had from the old timesl She is
like dream glimpses of Haroun-al-
Raschid. Aud yet, with all, there is
no more pathetic thing in all the
world. We are impressed when Wa
zee the death of a man. How much
more should we be impressed as we
look thoughtfully and attentively at
the quick respiration of a dying ma.
toni"
That is the most charitable view the
outside world takes Of Spain. She
has few scholars, a few statesmen, O
lew gentlemen, but they are a very
small leaven in a very large lump, and
the decadent Spain of to-day should
be more an object of self-pity than oi
self-pride.

Pictures of Lenye. in Natural CoIors.

One of the most interesting expert
ments in photography is the photo,
graphic reproduction of green leaf
in its natural colors. To do this,
take copper plate, such as is used

Put it face up in "A developing or ton
ing tray, and on it place the green
leaf of which copy is desired. To
hold the leaf in position lay over a

purpose. Turn over the plate a So

completely, so that it is at least half
