The Artistic Fad of the Day

Free demonstrations every after noon from to o'clock by MT. George Sims, an experienced demon strator, third floor.
 When art and conviyiality went hand in hand in the low countries of "Mierrie" England, the artists who gathered over pipe and pot around the great f1replaces in the taverns, drew pictures upon the walls with red hot pokers as mementoes of the festive occasion. The art has been passed down and improved upon, un- til now it has reached the perfec- tion point. The finest line or shad- ing can be given with little expert ence. The tool now used is a fine platinum point, heated by benzoline gas and a rubber bellows.
 All sorts of useful and ornamental articles are manufactured, with de- signs printed upon them ready for etching. You will find them all here, both finished and unfinished. Demon stration will commence Monday af- ternoon.

A Great Ditch Enterprise.
(Denver Republican,

The people OF Grand junction and
the neigboring part of Utah are con
sidering the matter of constructing
a great irrigating ditch which would
reclaim all the high land of the
Grand valley and at the same time
place under irrigation thousands of
acres of valuable ground in the east.
ern part OF Utah.
IL Is estimated that this scheme
would reclaim some 100000 acres of
land which If irrigated would be as
fertile and could be made as produc-
tive as any ground under cultivation
In this part OF the Rocky Mountains.
The promoters contemplate the ex-
penditure of about $4,000, 900 which
would be at the rate OF ten dollars
an acre. They could well afford to
do so. for the land after being re-
claimed would be worth three or four
times that amount
The ditch with which to reclaim
this vast acreage would have to be
taken out In the canon above the
Grand valley an conducted along
the foothills of the Book cliffs so as
to take in all the high land that the
people OF Grand Junction have been
dreaming about irrigating for the
last ten or twelve years. II would
make homes for ten thousand fami.
llesor fifty thousand people. and there
is no question that the land would
be promptly taken up II once It
should be placed under irrigation.

Population Of the Philippines.
(Chlcago Record -HeraId.)


The census bureau reports with
great particularly that the popuIa-
ton of the United States is now "a.
230, ,06a, and concludes It's statistical
summary with the proud boast that
there are but three countries which
have a greater population than our
own. This assertion would be true
II there had been no expansion be-
yond our continental area. with It's
population OF 76.000.0O0. and there is
a good deal of guess-work in at least
one of the particulars which credits
the Philippines with just G.69l 1893 In
habitants.
Now as ever the method of enumer-
ating the people Of those islands il
largely through an exercise In pure
mathematics. The bureau explains
that n census WAS In progress In
1896 when the insurrcction broke
out" and that returns for over two.
ffths of the population were found
stored at Manila" over two-Hfths
then. were unaccounted for and what
we have In the census is an estimate
based on doubtful and incomplete
Spanish figures and faithfully carried
out to the units place.
From time to time the archipelago
has been populated and depopulated
by the statisticians at an amazing
rate. In 1882 one of SPANS light
ming calculators counted 10,426 .000
Filipinos without moving from his
desk. which suggests the frewsome
thought that in assimilating ouI
island wards we must have slaughter
ed three or four millions of them
But Whitaker's Almanack, just out
accepts 100000 IA the proper fig
ure for 1898. which would seem to
show that there had been a remarka
BILE increase while the process OF as
similation was going on. Other es
Inmates are: Ecclesiastical census
1876. 6.173.632; civil census, 1877
5.56I,2 Spanish census. 1887
Christian population. 100000 The
figure last named was taken as the
bassis for the estimate by Major Gen
eral +. V, Greene. who reckoncd the
total population In 1898 ut between
Z 900. 900 and 100000
Amid all this uncertainty II may he
assumed that the Spanlards had near
ly an accurate idea OF the number OF
Christians In Luzon and the Visa
yas. which they placed mt 5.i22 900
For the rest there is little besides
conjecture and speculation, and n
shrinkage from the larger estimates
was to be expected. Censuses have
been known to do deadly execution
even in American cities. so that they
are naturally inimical to the exagger-
ations of the Orient.
