A COMING PROBLEM.

A COMING PROBLEM.
The federal census, among other
things, shows that the female population
Of the large centers is increasing in an
alarming ratio. 1t is a matter Of daily
comment Also that the number OF young
men who are marrying is constantly on
the decline, and these facts are bound
to create a problem in America that al
ready confronts countries Of older
growth.
At present these evils are not appre-
cfated by American women. Recent leg
islation has given to them the right to
hold and dispose of property free from
control, and new fields OF work have
been opened which enable them to avoid

dirt which passes through. the digestive
canal. Darwin estimates that there are
100000 earth worms in the upper six feet
of every acre In ordinary soil He wrote
a book about earth worms.
They are continual turning over the
soil and dragging down leaves and other
matter. which helps to fertilize the soil
and loosen the earth, allowing the air to
reach the roots. which they need
Crawhsh, more commonly called crabs,
burrow deep into the mud bottoms, and
their lie motioniess during the winter.
Fresh water snails also burrow In soft
mold or srawl under stones, logs, etc.
They keep the cold out Of their snug
houses by stretching thin membranes
across the opening, and a second one In
side to make a tight air chamber These
membranes make their first meal in
spring.
Snakes are more socially inclined. and
often spend the winter coiied together
In vast numbers under logs and stones.
and IL the winter is very cold they
freeze up solid and thaw out In the spring
unhurt.
Frogs also hibernate, but not complete
mud beds on sunny days. Toads burrow
into the dry earth, usually going deep
enough to escape the frost. They some
times get into cellars and remain until
spring. Some fishes bury themselves in
the mud like the turtle and frog, but
most seek the deep water and live of
the weeds.
Gophers, groundhogs. and chipmunks
all hibernate. and. like the angle worm,
they sink their burrows below the frost
line. Sometimes they live without food
and sometimes store nuts and seed
Rabbits and squirrels are quite active
all winter; the squirrels store their food,
and rabbits eat bark and roots and such
food as they would not touch In sum-
mer.
The birds, because of their flight, are
best able to solve the winter problem;
but there are fully forty species remain
ing north during the cold. subsisting on
what they pick up. Some live on seeds
and grains, like the snow bird and spar
row; some on flesh and grain, like the
crow hawk and owl: some others, like
