THE JAM-EAT1NG BRITISH ARMY.


Now that we know that the British
army consumed in the South African
war 34.50o,0OO pounds of jam, the fact
suggests some nice computations in the
statistics of sweetmeats. For instance,
il the British army, in order to crush a
comparatively small provincial state
that began the war without an army,
needs to be sustained by over $4,000
pounds of jam, what quantity of jam
would be necessary for it if 1t had a
real war with some great military
state? Would there be jam enough in
the world to meet such a crisis? And
what would become of the finances Of
the British empire if in such case
some of the Chicago men should Cor
ner'' all the jam in the world just be-
fore the war began Harper Weekly.

Divides the Poultry Roost.

The illustration shows novelty
which will recommend itself to the
poultry keeper for two reasons-first,
because it will prevent the fowls from
crowding each other off the roosts,
and, secondly, owing to the provision
1t makes for bringing vermin de-
stroyer within close proximity to the
fowl while roosting, without the lat
ter touching it. These devices can be
brought into use in connection with
the roosting poles already in position
in the henhouse. and consequently
there is no expense for changing the
roosts. The invention is simple one,
consisting of a single piece of wire,
which Is formed into a loop near one
end, with the shorter end formed into
a screw to aid in inserting it in the
wooden roost. The longer end is not
bent to its final position until after
the screw is inserted IN the wood,
when the loose end is twisted into the
location shown, below the roost. 1t

OUR POPULATION IN 1910

An interview with Census Commits
sioner Merriam in which he predicted
100000 as the total population of
the United States in 1910 has been
commented upon in some quarters as
extravagant and as probably wide of
the mark.
The official count of two years ago
gave the population at that time as
5000, 300, and it showed that these
have been the percentages of increase
between censuses since 1870, not TAX
ing into account Alaska, Hawaii, In
dian Territory or the Indian reserva-
tions: From 1870 to 1880, 80 per cent;
from 1880 to 1890, "a per cent; from
1890 to 1900, 20 per cent.
1t is a we'll established rule in the
computation of population that as the
number of inhabitants increases. the
percentage of gain declines, and should
the population of the states and terri
tories of the United States increase in
the present decade in no greater ratio
than Is per cent, which is abnormally
small and below the record of any pre-
vious decade in the country's history,
there would be a gain of 10,250,000 in
population, which, with the addition
of 100000 for Alaska, Hawaii and In

Causes of Volcanic Explosions.

In the Archives des Sciences Physi-
ques ct Naturelles M. Brun sets forth a
theory of the causes of volcanic ex-
plosions based on the experiments of
M. Gautier and himself. A few of his
results, only, can be referred to here.
They have direct bearing on the phe-
nomena lately displayed in Martinique.
His experiments at Strombou showed
that the lava flowing from the crater
was at temperature not above 1890
degrees c., and that the explosions
arise in the superficial layers. Those
of M. Gautier prove that all rocks of
the earths crust when heated above
redness give off gases, principally n.y.
drogen. The hydrogen is the principal
cause of the explosions. Heated to
about 1000 degrees in the crater. 1t

dian Territory, would bring up the
total to more than SS,O0O,OOO, without
making any account of the increase in
population of the American islands in
the Pacific or an increase in the popu-
lation Of Alaska.
There are now 100000 inhabitants
in the Philippine Islands and 100000
in Porto Rico, and even without any
allowance for gain in either, the total
population of the United States and
the countries under its sovereignty
would be SO, 5S3,OOO
Under these circumstances, an esti-
mate of 1OO,0OO,OOO Americans under
the Stars and Stripes eight years
hence, so far from being extravagant,
is really quite modest and conserva-
tive, and there does not appear to be
any reason why the total population Of
the country in 1900 should not consid-
erably exceed, as it probably will, that
figure.
If the present rate of immigration
continues, the rate of increase In pop
ulation will be much beyond the Is
per cent.

Water Supplies in Texas.

The flow of Texas rivers has been
studied by the photographic parties
OF the United States Geological Sur
vey. Daily records of water heights
and frequent measurements by cur
rent-meter of the velocity and volume
of water carried by each stream are
made. The economic value of such
photographic surveys is well illustrat-
ed by two examples. The flow of the
Brazos River at Waco was the lowest
on record during the past season and
the Waco dam, with head of 80 feet,
developed only 100 horsepower. The
minimum flow of the Colorado was
found to be only one-fifth of what was
popularity estimated at the time the
bonds were issued for the dam at Aus
tin. The comparatively small cost of
such surveys repays taxpayers and in
vestors a hundred fold.

"Misfortunes never come singly," Is
proverb well known in every Ian
guage and devoutly believed by the
people of every nation. There seems
something fatalistic in the prompti-
tude with which calamities tread on
one another's heels. One of the
earliest sacred books of the Jewish
canon furnishes an illustration in
point, for in single day the oxen
and sheep, the camels and other
beasts of burden of the patriarch of
Uz were swept away, his servants
were slain, his children destroyed, the
messengers following each other so
quickly that hardly was there time for
one dismal narrative to end ere an
other began. But we do not need to
go as far back as the days of Job
to find examples of the rapid Sc
quence of misfortunes, according to
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. Every
one knows that one accident or dis
aster Is certain to be followed by an
other, sometimes of similar character,
and having visible connection with
its predecessor, sometimes entirely
ASSOCIATED. so far as appearances go.
from everything that has preceded.
The clustering of accidents is well
known among men in particular lines
of business.
Every railroad superintendent
knows perfectly well that an accident
involving considerable loss of life
will within a few days be followed
by another so similar in its leading

Prepares Solid Foundations.

It is not entirely new to render loose
soil, such as sand and gravel, stable
enough for building purposes by i'm
ORIGINATING it with thin fluid cement,
which binds with the sand and forms
a sufficiently hard concrete mass to
serve as foundation; but this process
is always dependent upon certain con-
ditions. Thus, for instance, the soil
must contain no water, because the
water fills out the interstices of the
sand and renders the penetration of
the cement difficult, and, in addition
to this, the water still further dilutes
the cement, which is thin fluid already,
SO that 1t Is impossible for the cement
to bind and form good foundation.
Now comes Russian inventor with an
apparatus to exhaust the water from
the soil simultaneously with the fore
ing into it of the liquid cement This
enables the cement to be properly dis
tributed and also renders it possible
sure than when single forcing tube
was used. AS seen in the drawing
the two smaller tubes pour the cement
into the sand, while the larger central
pipe is connected with suction pump
or other exhaust apparatus. This
draws the water from the soil and al
lows the liquid cement to replace it
readily, also serving as an Indicator
to show when the soil has been i'm
pregnated by drawing the cement into
