broken skin of the apple, and each
point of infection enlarges so as to be-
come very distinct dark colored circu-

and watery) and tough. Great num-
bers of pustules SO small as TO be
scarcely visible to the unaided eye ar
ranged in close concentric circles cover
all but the outer border of the discol-
ored srot and give to the surface
rougheued appearance.
When the air is sufficiently moist,
each conically shaped point opens by
breaking through the skin of the fruit
and discharges a little pinkish mass
of mucilaginous or waxy substance
well seen under n lens. Each spot may
remain distinct, or several on an apple
may run together so as to form an ir-
regularly shaped, depressed patch.
The whole fruit at length becomes
shriveled into an angular, hard body
called mummy"
The pinkish or reddish material from
the spots In the fruit is composed of
myriads of spores. These cannot be
distributed by the wind because they
are held together and to the fruit by
an adhesive substance which, however,
is very soluble in water. The spores
are carried In splashes of rainwater or
may be distributed by insects. The
fungus lives over winter In the old,
dried fruits (mummies) and in wound
like infected spots called bitter rot
cankers on the limbs of the tree. The
first infection of the season apparently
comes from the cankers and can be
traced on the young apples spreading
below these In cone shaped figures In
the trees. where the spores have been
carried by rain. The disease goes slow

who was very III of typhus fever. The
doctor considered tho case hopeless,
but prescribed for the patient and took

he inquired of servant ut the door IL

"Dcadp was the reply. mo, he Is

The doctor FASTENED upstairs to OBJ

"Why," said the convalescent, II was

The Movement of Population.

If the progress of population had
been continuous from the remote perl
DDS OF antiquity, IL Is evident that the
numbers of mankind would be much
greater than they are. and the globe
would be already overstocked with hu-
man beings. But other causes not less
mysterious In their operation have
checked that progress. Many of the
populous countries of antiquity have
become depopulated and apparently
unable to support life. 1t Is uncertain
whether at the present moment the
population OF the globe is greater than
it was 1000 or 5000 years ago. There
Is congestion in Europe, In India and
I'm China. There are lnnumerable tribes
in central Africa on whom even the
slave trade makes no perceptible Inn
preston.
But the vast plains Of Asia, which
swarmed with men under the Assyri-
an. Babylonlan and Persian empires,
are deserted The civilization of Eu-
rope Is no longer threatened by the
eastern hordcs which swept over the
Roman empire in the earlier centuries
Of the Christian era. But that prodi-
gious migration laid the foundation of
the states of modern Europe.-Edin-
