THE DANGERS OF HEALTH
A French Scientist Fears Population
Will Increase Too Fast

The marquis de Nadaillac, French sci
enlist, tolerably well known here through
his work on "Prehistoric America" has
been recently engaged in calculations that
are curiously suggestive. They concern
the dangers of health. Since the memory
of man runs not to the contrary. or, more
definitely, since the late Jeremy Bentham
inaugurated the doctrine of the greatest
good of the greatest number, there has
been an effort, tentative yet perceptible
to get things shipshape, to provide through
arbitration against war, to improve sani-
tation, to fell disease, to foster matrimony
and simplify existence.
One does not need to be prophetic to as
sumo that ultimately the effort will sue
ceed. But consider the result. What with
universal peace, universal sanitation, the
fanging of the microbe and continuous
matrimony, in no time at all-in two CEN
turies at most--De Nadaillac declares that
the earth will be overpopuated and that
there won't be enough food to go around.
If he is right then, indeed, the struggle
for life will begin in earnest, and)not of in
dividual with individual, but of nation with
with nation, d struggle such as history
has never known and which will result in
the survival of the fittest-providing al
ways survival there be. 1t will be the

ALASKA'S FISH SUPPLY
Stories Showing Abundance Of the
Water Food Supply

1.-The waters of Alaska, both oceanic and
inland, have food supply equal to the
demands of a continent" said Fl. c. Dem
ing of Vancouver. Nobody who has not
actually seen the teeming life in these wa
ters can believe the truth. In Bering sea
there are fishing banks where cod and
menhaden are caught in numbers that put
the Newfoundland banks away in the
shade The herring runs are enormous
l have seen the peculiar ripple caused by
herring shoals extending over the surface
Of the sea as far as the eye could heac CHI
and fishermen tell me they are actually
increasing. Notwithstanding the terrible
slaughter by seals and black fish, which
not only eats fish, but catches seals, and
when wounded will attack an ocean
steamer.
But it is the salmon runs that excite
the greatest wonder These fish go up the
rivers in the spring and early summer to
spawn, and sometimes in the shallow parts
of a stream are so thick that they actually
climb over each other, and the Indians and
others secure all they want with clubs and
pitchforks. When they encounter a per-
pendicular fall they leap to an astonish-
ing height, and millions are killed by fall
ing back to the water and rocks. Only the
strongest succeed in reaching the highest
points on the stream, and they are gener-
ally so battered up that when they are
caught on their return they are not con-
sidered fit for food by the white residents
of the coast. 1 have seen the banks of the
Skagit and the Snoqualmie, Washington
streams, piled two feet high with dead sal
mon, that are hauled away in immense
numbers to enrich the farm lands, and yet
there is apparently no diminution In the
vast numbers that come from their winter
home in the deep sea each season. Some
idea of the wonderful extent of the salmon
fisheries may be obtained from the fact
that the salmon runs extend from the CO.
lumbia to the Yukon, including coast line
of more than 1000 miles.
1.-THE strange creatures of the sea that
are usually found in tropical waters are
also found here. have seen an octopus
with arms fifteen feet long, caught in Seat
tie harbor, and sea anemones, sea cucum-
bers, sfa urchins, starfish, moonfsh, dog
fish ana sharks are to be found everywhere
in the greatest abundance Rock cod. sea
bass, ling and other game fish of the sea
are very plentiful, and clans are so abund-
ant that every saloon has clam bullion on
tap free to every conner. The Northern Pa
cific and Bering sea are wonderful store
houses. ."-Denver Republican.

WANTED HIS MONEY IN, TOO

A dark-eyed boy about IA years old. neat

questioned and he earned a few dollars a
