The German census, which started
December J., 1900, and has just been
finished, gives some interesting facts
There are 442 cities with a population
between 10000 and 1000 900 each. In
1916 the German empire had 24S33, 600
in habitants; in 1855, 36,l14,0OO; and
in 1900, 56,345OOO In the year 1916
Prussia had l3, 709 900 inhabitants; in
1855, 21 32O,O 900, and in 1900, 34,463O 900.
The enormous increase in the large
cities OF Germany is said to be due to
the retrograde movement in agricul-
ture. which has driven people from the
country.

Il takes a prodigious amount of veg
etable matter to form a layer Of coaf.
it being estimated that the present
growth of the world would make
layer less than e-eighth of an inch
in thickness, and that 1t would take a
million years OF vegetable growth to
form coal bed ten feet in thickness.
The United States has an area of more
than 100000 square miles of coal fields,
and more than 100 900 900 tons OF coal
are mined in this country every year
enough to run n ring around the earth

and five and half feet thick. Com
petent scientists say that there is
enough coal in the United States to
supply the world for the next two
thousand years.

A learned scientist has recently
shown how the velocity of the wind
can be- reckoned by noting the musical
pitch of the sound given out when the
wind blows across stretched wire
The principal elements on which the
calculation is based are the diameter
OF the wire and the temperature of the
air. The length of the wire is inmate
rial, so long as it is not changed. Ev-
cry variation in the winds velocity is
faithfully represented by the rising or
falling of the pitch Of the note sung by
the wire.

Bottles Long Ocean voyage.

The journey Of bottle from Central
Illinois to the Pacific Ocean has just
been announced through the receipt of
letter by Walter Roeder of Bloom
ington, ILL.,, from Jesse Wilson of San
ia Monica, Cal. saying he had found,
on the coast OF California, a bottle
which contained a letter written by
Roeder. The letter was written on
Jan. 27. 1900 After being placed in
the bottle the receptacle was cast into
the waters OF the Mackinaw river, ten
miles west OF Bloomington. The bot
tie must have followed the river until
the confluence with the Illinois was
reached, and thence foated to the Mis-
sissippi, and through the Gulf of Mex
leo to the Atlantic ocean. Ocean cur
rents are supposed to have carried the
bottle around Cape Horn and thence
up the Pacific coast

I'm THE ODD CORNER.
Record of Queer 0nd Curious Happenings

The pines are black on Sierra's slope
And white are the drifted SHOWS;
The flowers are gone, the buckthorn
bare,
A language the north wind knows.
The pine bOughs creak.
And the pine trees speal,
And chilly the north wind blows.
There's never a track leads in or out
OF the cave of the big brown bear.
The squirrels have hid in their deepest
holes.
And fastened the doors with care.
The red fox prowls,
And the lean wolf howls
AS he hunts far down from the lair.
The eagle hangs on the wing all day,
On the chance of a single kill
The little gray hawk hunts far and
wide
Before he can get his fill.
The snow wreaths sift
And the blown SHOWS drift
To the canyons deep and still.

DEATH CONES UNEXPECTED.
Mrs. Charles A. GuIlick's Sudden Death
Causes Much Sorrow.

Late Wednesday afternoon, of la st
week, 1t was announced that Mrs.
Eva B. Gullick was not expected to
live and about eight o'clock the same
evening word was received that she
had passed from this life.
Mrs. Gullick had been ailIng for
about two weeks, but was able to be
about and was down town Monday
afternoon. Tuesday morning she
arose as usual, but was obliged to go
back to her bed and physician was
summoned. Her condition became
rapidly worse and it was soon seen by
her husband, who remained at her
bedside, that the end was not far
away although he had hopes until
Wednesday noon,
Mrs. Gullick, the youngest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. r. S. House, was
born at Lime Springs, Iowa, Feb. IS,
1875: Came with her parents to Brook
ings county 10 1873 and since 1891 has
resided in this city. She was married
to Chas. A. Gullick, Nov. %, 1895 and
the union had been blessed by a sweet
little son which remains as solace to
the sorrowing husband. She possessed
happy disposition which won for her
many warm and admiring friends.
She was a model wife and loving
mother. All these traits coupled with
her sudden and unexpected demise
caused untold sorrow among her inti-
mate friends and relatives.
The funeral was held from the First
Baptist church Sunday afternoon and
the services were conducted by Rev.
Arnold Luton pastor Of the Episcopal
church. A large number Of sympa-
thizing friends attended the funeral
and escorted the remains to Green
wood cemetery where they were placed
at rest.
The entire family was present at
the funeral, including Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed House of Clear Lake, Mrs. Allen
Nash Of Lime Springs, Iowa, Henry
House OF Whitehall, Montana. These
with the sorrowing mother, husband
and brother, +. A. House, of this city,
have the deepest sympathy Of many
who have known the family for years
and who mourn with them at this
time.
