WHEAT EATERS GROWING.
rye Bread Being Almost Entirely
suppIhnted I'm European Conn
tries by White bread.

In several European countries the
different forms of edible paste known
as macaroni, sphaghetti, vermicelli,
nouilles, etc, are produced in large
quantities. From small and some
what local business it has become q
large, prosperous and constantly in
creasing industry, upon which millionG
of people depend for their food. 1t is
estimated that the French output of
these pastes is from 12O,OOO,OoO TO 17O,-
100000 pounds per annum, and this
product is unquestionably destined to
increase greatly. To Americans il may
seem strange that tho power TO pur-
chase wheat foods is only now becom-
ing general in most of the civilized
countries.
Thirty years ago black rye bread was
universally consumed by the working
classes and the peasantry in France
Bakers say they all sold rye bread uT
to about 1870; now it Is rarely found
in any bakery, and is eaten only in the
country. The president Of the millers
syndicate of Lyons reports that the
masses Of the French people want white
bread. and the best of it,
The president of a British economic
association stated last August that the
wheat eaters OF the world were 37l, GOO,
600 in 1871 and 51G,O00,0O0 in 1898, ar
increase Of I45,O0O,0O0. Every grea
railroad opened adds TO the number o
wheat eaters.

gons is a boon indeed to explorers.
The popular imagination usually at
taches itself to the great cold they
have to endure, but the real enemy
is the long darkness, which is trying
to the enthusiasm OF even a Nansen,
q Peary, or a Jackson.
There is practically no difference in
the length Of twilight at the equator
at the equinoXes and solstices. Even
at Honolulu it will not vary by more
than a couple of minutes. But in the
higher latitudes the varying duration
is very marked. In latitude 591a de-
grees, for instance. it lasts ffty-six
minutes at the equinoXes but at the
summer solsUice it lasts from sunset
to sunrise-that is TO say, from 9,l0
o'clock till $50, or for five hours and
North or south OF S3 degrees practi-
cal twilight lasts all might" at the
equinoXes. The sun is, it is true, only
twelve hours above the horizon, but
as he cannot get more than seven de-
grees below 1t there is continual day
light for the twentyfonur hours. In
such cities as Stockholm and st. Pet
ersburg there are close on to four
teen hours of daylight at those sea-
sons when day and night are said to
be equal, and at the equator itself
the day all the year round is made up
Of thirteen hours daylight and eleven
hours darkness. 1t must also not be
forgotten that in those latitudes where
the sun remains for months below the
horizon there is during that period a
good deal of daylight, so that along
the eightieth parallel north "a little
north of which the Jackson Harms
worth expedition spent three consecu-
tive years in the Franz Josef lslands),
although the sun does not rise be-
tween Oct. 10 and Feb. %, there is
n period of three weeks following the
final sunset and another of the same
length preceding the first sunrise Of
the year, on each day of which good
type can be read for few minutes up
to some hours without artificial light
