Public Chemistry work.

The Bureau of Chemistry, Of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture, has grown to be one
Of the most important in the whole service.
There are now eight laboratories each
labor. There are foods, sugar, dairy pro.
ducts, fertilizer, soil analyses, road mate
rails, insecticides and agricultural waters
and den~drochemical or arboreal studies.
Among the most comprehensive studies at
tempted by the bureau are the effects of
environment on special plant growths,
such as sugar beets and wheat, especially
valuable in the introduction of foreign
types. Quite as valuable is the work to de-
termine the fertilizer requirements of
plants and the means of determining these
by chemical analyses, a study that OBJ
viously could only be carried out under IN
prejudiced Government control.

POPULATION BY SECTIONS.
Country Drained by the Atlantic Ha
Nearly 90 Fer Cent.

Nearly Do Fer Cent.
Washington. D. C.-The Census Bu-
reau issued a bulletin on the geographic
cal distribution Of population in the
United States. Almost ninety-six per
cent. Of the total population lives in the
country drained by the Atlantic Ocean;
over fifty-three per cent. in that
drained by the Gulf of Mexico; forty
four per cent. in the drainage area Of
the Mississippi; almost ten per cent. in
the area drained by the great lakes:
four per cent. on the Pacific Coast and
one-half of one per cent. in the Great
Basin.
The proportion living within the re-
gion drained to the Atlantic Ocean is
steadily diminishing.
OF the foreign born, ninety-three per
cent. live in the region drained to the
Atlantic; 1874 per cent. in the region
drained to the Gulf of Mexico, and if-
teen per cent. in that drained to the
great lakes. The proportion in the re-
gion drained to the Pacific is 81 per
cent.
Out of every 1000 negroes, 99S are
found in the regions drained to the At
lantic Ocean. and 61.4 per cent. are in

The agonizing, itching, and burning of the skin, as in
eczema; the frightul scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss o.
facial dishgurements, as in pimples and ringworm; the
awful suffering of infants, and anxiety of worn-out parents,
as in milk crust, letter and salt rheum,-ald demand a
remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope
with them. That Cuticufa Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent
are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement IS
made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest
evidence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford
immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great economy have made
them the standard skin cures, blood purifiers and humour
remedies of the civilized world.

Havana, Cuba.-While Secretary OF
the Navy Moody and his party were on
shore a squall of tremendous violence
swept over the harbor. 1t became as

pour were terrific.
Commander Stoney, Of the Dolphin,
realizing the peril to the small boats in
the harbor during such a squall, called
for volunteer The entire
crew Of the Dolphin responded. Boats
were instantly manned and sent of.
The launch returned with four half
drowned Cubans. and the captains gig
with another, who was lifted aboard
apparently l~ifeless, but was later re-
suScitated.
The courage and prompt action on
the part of the Americans are espe-
cially commended, as the British ships
did not rise to the emergency, although
one Of the capsized boats was much
nearer to the Ariadne than to the Dol
phin.
It is known that five men, all Gu
bans, were drowned by the capsizing
Of boats during the squall.

sion For the Admiral.
Washington, D. C.-President Roose-
yelt has transmitted to the Senate the
nomination Of George Dewey, United
States Navy, to be admiral Of the
Navy" Attention was recently called
to a slight difference between the word
ing Of Admiral Dewey's commission
and the law Of 1899 under which 1t
was provided for. The commission Of
the Admiral reads 'The Admiral in
the Navy" where the law has it "Ad-

new commission has been made out for
the Admiral, and this necessitated q
new nomination and confirmation by
the Senate.
The Senate confirmed Admiral Dew
