Biz Electrical Enterprise.

One of the great electrical enter
prises of the nineteenth century is
nearing its completion Seven years
have been spent at this business. Three
thousand miles of wire are in position,
and 1.200 more will be necessary to
carry the line to it's terminus in the
land of the Pharaohs. This will cover
the entire length of Africa. The cost
OF the line as so far completed has
been $5,000,000, and its completion will
add 81 900 900 more to the total. The
work done has been under almost ap-
palling difficulties. Swamps have been
bridged. mountain chasms crossed,
floods waded, the lion and the barba
rian faced frequently to the point of
death, and the miseries of an almost
unbearable climate endured. The ant
made sawdust of the poles, and most
of the material used had to be carried
through primeval forests on the shoul
1ers of aboriginals. The copper wire
was sometimes made into bullets to
shoot down the white intruders, and
piles of human bones have been left
TO whiten in the sun, where the can
nibal or the beast of prey had gorged
on the remains The cost has been
heavy but the results will in the long
run be the transformation OF Africa,
as the railway will follow the tele-
graph line and the products OF all ma
tions find one OF the great markets in
the future between the Cape OF Good
Hope and the Egyptian end of the Nile

heroic effort to carry out magnificent

Room Yet
For More

In the present state of the arCs in
the United States, how many people
could be supported; and how many
more people could be provided for by
an increase in invention?" 1t is not
possible to say how much land would
be required to support single indi-
vidual anywhere. The census of the
United States for 1900 shows in New
York state 1862 persons to a square
mile. or about one to four acres; in
Massachusetts there are about 34S to
"A square mile, or about one to two
acres. In Ohio l02 to a square mile;
and so on down to Nevada, which
has two square miles for every in
habitant-or over 200 acres for each
man, woman and child in the state.
In the whole United States there are
% Inhabitants to a square mile, or
over 30 acres to each. The New York
average. covering the whole country,
would raise this number about seven
.imes-that is, would establish pop
1lation of about 0,000,0 900. This
would include New York city. The
Ohio average would probably be fair
one; and that would raise the popula-
ton of the United States to about 400,-
900 900 IT does not seem to be an un-
warranted assumption that the United
States can. by proper attention TO in
tensive, or scientific farming of the
soil and by conformity to such laws
as sustain equability of temperature
ana moisture, reach a population of
from 100000, 900 to 100000, 900. China
remains an object lesson to demon
strate an increase quite beyond these
figures Under the best existing con-
ditions in the United States. two acres
are required for each individual ten
acres for the family of five. In China
we have found that under best condi-
tions two people can subsist to the
acre. Will a wiser conservatism of
natures forces not slowly increase our
chances. until, with vastly greater
knowledge Of the earth's resources
than our Turanian neighbors, and
multifold easier access to them, we
shall be able to sustain a population
even larger to the acre, or mile, than
they are now doing? Among the more
civilized races there is constantly de-
creasing ratio of lands to families. At
present the United States, especially
the eastern states, furnish fine illus

tration of this law OF civilization. In
tenslve farming is displacing extensive
farming. and that means that, by i'm
proved methods of culture, a family
may get better crops and larger profits
from ten acres than from one hundred
acres by the older and less scientific
culture Not only is population in
creasing in this way, but the comforts
are multiplying. Soiling has taken
the place of pasturing, and the growth
Of mixed crops has supplanted the cul-
tivation of one or two crops on large
scale. The advantages are keeping
the land at it's best, and decreasing
waste. With intenser culture, and
brains, we believe family of five can
get a good living from five acres or
about 130 families from a square mile.
This. of course, is not mp to the Chi
nese Standard for at the best few,
American farmers fail to waste a good
deal in manures, in harvesting, and in
storage while the standard of living
requires larger income. A family OF
FIVE requires in the United States for
food for clothing, for comforts, for
repairs of vehicles and tools, and
wages of help, not less than $1,000. IL
you wish to get at the requirements
of a single individual you will find
that he must be taken strictly as a
factor in a family. Following the
above line of argument, we find that
the state of New York, with 10000, 900
acres, can support 100000 families.

United States with 800, 900 acres.
can sustain by the same estimate
800 900 600 individuals, or $50, 900, 900
families. But this not taking into our
reckoning arid lands, mining lands,
irreclaimable swamps, very rocky or
mountainous land; lands robbed of fer
tility by bad filth; and sections too
rough or otherwise unfit for homes.
We shall probably not go far astray
if we reckon under these one-fourth of
the whole land; although more con-
servative estimates are 500 0,000,0 900, or
one-third. If this be SO, We once
more come to the conviction that the
possible population of the United
States is. under present conditions.

Cottage Heirloom, In England.

1t Is still quite common experience
to find fine and even valuable speci-
mems of old English furniture, chiefly
made of oak. in the cottages of the
village folk. These pieces of furniture
have beer handed down from genera
ton to generation of rural folk such
as carriers, keepers, woodmen and
shepherds. How did the family orig
inally come by them? The explana-
tion is this in many cases; Genera
tions ago when the furniture, which
is once again priced greatly, began to
go out of fashion and to be superseded
by stuff which we view with contempt
nowadays, it was sold and farmers
bought much of it. But by and by. the
farmer being prosperous, and desiring
to be in the fashion. too, like his land
lord, bought in its place more modern
chairs and tables, etc. Then the viii
lage folk bought for song the de-
spised oak chairs. Golfers, etc, and
now, once again. the old furniture has
come into favor and is finding its way
back from the cottage to the hail.

Ills of Civilization.

The civilized man has softened his
feet, crushed his bones together and
diminished their efficiency by COM
pressing them in tight, hot shoes. has
weakened his ankles by placing around
them bandages of thick leather, tight
ly drawn with laces strong enough to
hang him. We owe to the shoemaker.
therefore, our sprained ankles, our in
grown toenails, our corns and bunions,
our bills for salves and plasters. The
savage knows nothing of these things.
They are the heritage of civilization.
So far as athletic sports are concerned,
however. it is probably true that In
contests of strength and endurance, the
civilized athlete is the equal perhaps
the superior of the savage, but this is
not due to his civilization, but to the
fact that, in sense, he combines the
best and most healthful features OF
both savage and civilized life.-St.

a little, step out from the glare and
hustle and take his ease in the old

be no crowd, no obsequious servants,
no extravaganza in dress, no gllded

bags and trunks and choking with
cigar smoke. no gaudy bar no arc
lights, no clanking steam pipes or
grassy furnaces, no dining-room where
one is supposed to eat in state, and,
at the whim of a terrifying head
waiter, to be company for people one
does not care for; and especially where

not take away ones income or his
