Tne ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF the population
Of the United States by the census bu-
reau ~it.cites speculation as TO its proba-
bic effect on the ap%portionment of
members Of congress. Either there
must lie Il large increase in the number
of representatives in the loMeH house
or there must he Il substantial Increase
In the number of people required to
constitute Il congressional district.
Many people think that the house of
representatives is already so large as
to be unwieldy, and for some time
there has been serious talk about TAX
ing stringent measures to keep it from
growing larger. The hall of represent
ativcs is already as full as it reasona-
bly, can be. and il Representatives
should continue to be elected upon the
basis of the present apportionment ma
terial changes in the building would be
necessary.
Under tie present apportionmcnt a
congressional district is composed in
rcrnd numbers of $4,000 people. The
most conservative estimate OF the next
apportionmcnt is 100000. and there is
Il belief that in order to keep the house
within bounds the superintendent Will
rise to 10000 OF even higher. On a
basis of 100000 To each representative
it is estimated that Pennsylvania
would gain two congressman, bring
ing her number up to 81. New York
would gain two, reaching n total of 36.
Kentucky. Maryland, South Carolina
and Virginia would each lose a con
gresham, While Texas would gain two.
Maine and Vermont would each lose q
congressman. though Massachusetts
would gain one. Illinois would gain
two, making her representation 81. OF
the other great middle states Indiana,
Ohio and Minnesota would each lose
one, while Michigan, Iowa and Wis
consin would neither lose nor gain.
Nebraska would lose one, and New Jer-
sey would gain one. These would be
the only changes. The apportionment
would add IL to the representation and
subtract 10, leaving a net gain of one.

There are times when 1t handy
to be Il king or at least Il prince. For
example, on Il recent occasion the
Prince OF Wales caused the starting
from the station of q royal train
promptly OH schedule time without
waiting for q belated guest. Lady
Cornwallis West, the guest in question,
was delayed in putting OH her veil or in
ordering oue autumn gowns and fail
ed to reach the station at the time the
invitation had hidden her. So the
prince gave IL nonclalant laugh, pulled
the signal cord, and the train sped
away without the lady. There are
times in the lives of most men when
such IN act would relieve the strain.
Tho Prince Of Wales is not alone in
feeling the kcenest resentment when
the other fellow. whether it be man or
woman, is late at an appointment. But
he and his royal kind have the advan-
tage over other people in being in a po-
sition to so neatly and promptly punish
the offender. The American man is too
gallant to administer to a gentle cul-
prit any sort of a rebuke for hardness.
but doubtless in his heart he longs up
on occasion to slip away on schedule
time, as did the prince. and leave the
lady to the consequences of her own
failure to punctually keep her engage
ment.

Taught His Dog to Pace.

Minneapolis Journa.: M. B. Scott, a veterinary surgeon of Farikallt, s. D., has novelty in the shape of wonder ful pacing dog. So far as is known, this is the only instance on record of pacing dog, though trotting dog is not unheard of, and man named liar ny Ketcham, a Canadian, once owned 8 trotter whom he called Doe, This dog, whici was pointer, he exhibited at race=traeks and fairs all over the country. He was said to have made $10,000 out of the animal. Dr. Scott's dog will race against either a horse or a bicycle, and seems to enjoy it, though he evidently regards it as a 7ery seri- ous matter. Gypsy, as the doctor calls him, can make very good time, and Dr. Scott has speeded nm from standing start to make quarter of a mile in forty-five seconds, and the first eighth in twenty seconds When he wag teaching him to pace, Dr. Scott put small string hobbies on him in order to prevent him from breaking. Gypsy paced little before the doctor bought him, though so little as to be of no consequences; but his new master thought he saw possibilities of the dog doing better, and began a course of careful and systematic training, until he obtained the present result The dog is pure blooded St. Bernard and weighs 40 pounds, is three feet high, measures six feet from the tip of his bushy tail to the end of his handsome nose and is about years old He races alone, without a driver, and, be- sides being very fine animal, is real curiosity.

SHOULD COAL GIVE GOT.
Electrical Energy VIII More Than Fip
 Its Place,


 Are we utterly dependent upon coal, so that the wheels of industry will stop and the forests be consumed for fuel when coal gives out? Of course not. It is an idle fear, says Gunton's Maga- zine. Already we have the beginnings of a new method of utilizing natural energy which will prove enormously more effective than coal ever has been, and will be practically inexhaustible, to whatever extent industry may ex- pand. Electrical energy, developed by water power, will run the worlds in- dustries furnish it's light and heat and be the universal substitute for all forms of combustion methods. Water power is practically unlimited. and it will be utilized more and more in pro- portion as the need for it arises, and as it's use becomes, at different places and at successive periods, cheaper than coal. The substitution will proceed gradually, until, when the coal supply finally is exhausted, nobody will have anything more than a curious or acad- emic interest in the matter, and prob ably not ripple will be produced in tie steady onward flow of the worlds industry As the use of water power to develop electrical energy increases to the point of formidable competi- t!on with coal, electrical students and inventors will doubtless bring out im- pfovements making it possible to store the power or conduct it long dis tances at small cost, until our facto- ries, railroads and ships can be oper- ated by it, our houses lighted and warmed and food prepared, all at even less expense than is possibla today with coal.

wUmAN REFUSES
To Live with Her Husband Because She
 Says He Is HomelY.


 says He Is HomelY.
 New York World: Mrs. Jennie Gold farb has given a novel excuse for re- fusing to live with her husband Sam uel. She says that he is too homely for any woman to live with. Goldfarb who is 6 philosopher, admits that he is not an Apollo, but he also insists that his wife has never been known as a professional beauty. The Gold farbs have had good deal of trouble since they were married iR 1890. It took Mrs. Goldfarb but short time to discover that her husband did not come up to her standard of manly beauty, and she began to make things uncomfortable for him. Occasionally she went back to her mother. At an other time Samuel in despair sent her to Europe, hoping that when she re- turned he would find favor in her eyes. But matters were still worse when she came back, and, according to a num- Der of affidayits, in the possession of former Judge H. ". Leonard, Gold farb's counsel, she positively refused TO live with him at all. Goldfarb in the meantime had spent small for tune on complexion beautffers, hair restorers and other toilet luxuries. He became a Berry Wall in his dress. But his wife remained obdurate, and fnal- ly. a short time ago, charged him be- fore Magistrate Hogan with desertion. Goldfarb was sent-railroaded, he says to the island for six months. He gave a bond and was released. He at once sued for a separation, and flor such other relief as may seem just"

COLD TO ORDER.
Some Ways of Producing Artificial Low
 Temperatures.

Temperatures.
 In the line of refrigeration on the rail, the newest and eleverest inven- tion is a ear that by the motion of it's own wheels, congresses ammonia gas to liquid, which, in expanding again through pipes, produces the cold re- quired to preserve the perishable prod ucts transported in the vehicle What the ewly-discovered liquid air may accomplish in the branch of enterprise here discussed, no man can say, though astonishing things are predict ed for it, but already cold in this in- eensely concentrated form is on the market and may be bought by the gall lon. Very possibly, in the near future carts may go from door to door ln cities with cans of cold-i. e., liquid air put up in suitable tins-depos1t1ng full receptacles each morning for the days supply, and taking away the a&empties" A little of the stuff in the family refrigerator will keep the pro- visions sweet, while what remains may be utilized for cooling the air of the house, spoonful being deposited here and there in a saucer. An inventor has recently devised a scheme for sprink- ling town with the help of balloons, which carry up into the air long hose pipes connected with fre-plugs on the ground. This is for the purpose of engendering coolness; and the same object is sought, by another genius, who proposes to erect in various parts of the city very tall skeleton towers, to the tops of which large bombs filled with earbonie acid, will be run up for explosion by an electric spark. Of course, the carbonic acid expanding in the form of vapor, will chill the surrounding atmosphere, thus giving relief to the heat-oppressed community besow An idea that is even now used in many factories to cool the air in the buildings is to throw a spray of cold water into room until the air is supersatllrated, and then to force the air thus cooled through the outer rooms.-Boston Transcript.

From Which the Islands Flag Was
 Originally Designed.
 New York Tribune: There is now on exhibition in the conservatory of Pros peet park a Towering plant which is known in Cuba as Blanco Estrella de C1nco Puntas. This plant is particu- 4afly interesting, as the Gubans orig mated the design of their flag from the flower of the plant. The box of plants was received by Park Commissioner George V. Brewer, with the regards of Capt. ". Atwood French, who is sta- tioned in Grisbo, Cuba. Capt. French. Nh his letter which accompanied the box Of plants, states that the Cubans derive the emblematie star in their national flag, ii coIor and the number Of points, from the flower, which is a white star with five points. The star emblem is used by the Cubans on all the buttons of their uniforms. in stick pins, brooches and jewelry worn by women. Continuing, the captain says:
 The plant is, truly speaking, la Cuban in almost every particular. ex- cept, of course, color, as no one ever saw Cuban lady as blaneo as is this flower, except after cineo o'clock D. m, when she sallies forth with blanco powder (thick), accompanied by her chaperon Gin all cases), usually little brother or the old grandmother, who is on the watch to see that she does not notice the young Cuban beau and blush the blase coloring away and give them encouragement. They are ex- eeedingly shy and reserved, and never look at any one while taking their daily afternoon promenade"
