If the Texas oil wells hold out and
continue to increase in number it is
likely to have some effect on the as
phaltum market and interfere with
the Venezuelan monopoly. 1t is esti-
mated that in every 100 barrels of
Texas oil there are A of asphalt,
which would be equivalent to about
ten tons. Tests thus far made show
that about IS per cent of illuminat-
ing oil of rather. inferior quality
may be obtained from petroleum. AS
asphalt is worth $40 ton, that is
probably the most valuable compo-
nent of the Texas product. At the
present time the Trinidad asphalt,
which is minded under an English
crown colony lease, is sold in Eu-
rope, where it completes with Sicilian
rock asphalt at $40 ton less than the
price obtained in the United States. -

In his address as retiring President
of the Iowa Academy of Sciences, pub.
lished in Science, Professor w. H.
Norton gives a timely and interesting
resume of the various social services
rendered by science. Near the end OF
the address occurs the following pas
sage: "Thus has science been an ac.
celebrating force in the evolution OF
society. Increasing food supply by
means Of scientific agriculture, length
ening life by the repression of dis,
eases, and introducing thousand new
means of livelihood, it has made posi-
BILE the extraordinary recent growth OF
civilized nations. 1t permits the pop
ulation of Europe to more than double
since 1900, and enables England
which in the seventeenth century men
thought too small for its scanty popu
lation, to support more than 38,O0O,0OC
people in comparative comfort. II
lends some encouragement to the san
guine prophecy of Albert Bushnell
Hart that the Mississippi Valley will
sooner or later contain population
Of 850.OOOOOO."

1t was at once the peculiar distinc-
tion and happiness of the late Sir Wal
ter Besant that he dreamed a fair and
noble dream and saw it come true.
The Peoples Palace, which has car
ried light and hope and comfort and
cheer to thousands of the poor people
of London's squalid East End, was
the realization of Besant's beautiful
dream. That famous and useful insti-
tuition has served as an example and
stimulus for humanitarian work all
over England, and indeed throughout
the English-speaking world. Besants
memory will last longer for what he
did than for what he wrote. His ser
vice was to humanity rather than to
literature. His name belongs with
Abou Ben Adhems on the roll of
those who loved their fellow men.

The good roads question has been
almost lost of late, but few patri-
otto state papers have brought it up
on the firing line again. 1t was
feared during it's universal discussion
at the time that the good roads train
flashed across the state distributing
samples here and yon that the agita-
ton would not be kept up until that
crucial time when the legislature
might epitomize the advice of press
and people and crystalline it into COM
prehensive and effective laws. From
the Legislature only can the solution
of the good roads probably come, and
those Legislators who seek to crown
themselves with enduring public APP
probation and who seek to do last
ing good can use the time intervening
between now and the next session to
good advantage by bordering over
the making of laws best calculated to
better the highways of the state
those arteries through which flow
the products of the soil to the mark
cts of the world 1t is a question of
moment and one worthy the attention
of our wisest men. Upon the press
devolves the duty of keeping up the
interest and this power will not be
neglectful of its duty. -Vicksburg

warn Americans that there is no work
