NOTES ON COLOMBIA.

National Geographic Magazine Wash
 ington)
 The people of Colombia are a mixture of races. At the time of the Spanish conquest the population of Colombia was estimated at S,OOOOOO. Wholesale butch cries and enslavement in the mines re- duced the number in a few generations to less than a million. Most of the na- tives were too helpless to resist, but some retaliated, and in the Antioquia district poisoned the salt springs 50 ef- fectually that they remain poisoned to this day" The present Colombian nation ality is a fusion in varying proportions of the aborigines with the whites from various parts of Spain, including a con- siderable number of baptized Jews. This Hebrew element is quite noticeable, espe- cially in the province of Antioquia, which is the wealthiest and most prosperous of the departments of Colombia. There is also a considerable African element in the population.
 Colombia. exclusive of Panama, is as large as the two States of California and Texas combined. Three high mountain ranges cross the republic from north to south, making high table lands between, where the days the year round are scarcely hotter than those of a temper ate zone. On the Bogota table land the glass oscillates between fifty and 7S de- grees Fahr., while the annual rainfall rarely exceeds forty-five inches. In the lowlands, of course, the tropical sun

People Who Appear Old.

People who apear old must expect to be considered so; and, if they apply Tor positions with every apearance that senility has struck them. and that they have gone to seed. they cannot expect favorable consideration. If gray-haired applicants for positions would only appre- ciate the value of appearance, and would ''brace up' when they seek situations 20 well Eroomed" and we'll dressed. with elastic steps, showing that they still pos sess fire, force and enthusiasm-they would eliminate an obstacle greater than their gray hairs. We think ourselves into incapacity by looking for signs of age and dwelling on them, and the body fol- lows the thought. We should. there fore, avoid the appearance of age in every
 possible way, by dress, carriage, conver- sation, and especially by our attitude toward people and things. It is not dlf- ficult to preserve the buoyancy and fresh ness of youth, but 1t must be done by constant effort and practice. musician
 who expects to make only one or two im- portant apearances a year must keep up his practice. Youthfulness cannot be put on for a day if old age has had a grip on Spu for months. It Is important to preserve the fire of youth as long as pos slble to carry freshness and vigor into old age by keeping up a hearty interet in everything that interests you. Many of us seem to think that youthful sports and pastimes are foolish, ands before we know it. we get eatIraly out of sympathy

Lord Salisbury explained to his emissary in London the exact nature of the demands.
 ''But what if," said the diplomatist, ''after have said everything, the Presi- dent refuses?'
 "oh," said Lord Salisbury, ''this Is not a matter in which we have the least thought of fighting. If the President re- fuses, why you will simply have to come home again.
 The emissary went and said his say to the President of Haiti. The President blankly refused to give in. The emissary retired to think things over. A few hours later he wrote to the President:
 'I regret that your excellency does not see your way to recognize the justness of the claims which have had the honor to present I have now to say, on behalf of her Britannia Majesty's Government, that unless your Excellency yields on all points which I have named 1t vii be my painful duty to act on the second half of my instructions"

A LEAN YEAR
Is What Prophet Benner Says Fo, 1904.

1OOE.
 New York World. 't
 Benner's prophecies for 1904 have been issued and the bulls of Wall street are much cast down, while the bears are cor respondingly elated MT. Benner thinks that the prices in all lines of industry are going to be much lower during the coming year. but he believes that 1t will be the turning point in the bear move ment and, will be followed by twenty years of ihfiatioh.
 Benner's prophecies have been so often correct in commercial as well as politi- cal matters that they are taken serious ly in the business world
 Samuel Benner is an Ohio farmer who tills the soil by day and studies the stars by night For many years he was local oracle only. He told the farmers of his neighborhood by star gazing whether or not to plant their potatoes in the dark of the moon, when 1t would be the best time to shuck corn to get the best results, and how best to swap a roan horse for a sorrel when the moon was in perigree. By and by the fame of his predictions spread through the whole country round and for twenty years or more they have been published in pam phlet form every year. The first copy of the 1904 volume reached Wall street yesterday and was read with deep in- terest by. the speculators. Mfr. Benner's predictions for 1904 are as follows:
 T predict that prices for pig iron, railroad stock and many commodities will be lower in 1904 than in 1903
 'I predict that after the year 1904 there will be a revival in trade, better times and that higher prices will prevail until the year 1911.
 Prices for iron. railroad stocks and many industrial securities will continue to. be depressed until the future policy of this government is settled in the com ing election for President.
 Now. while we have had a disastrous reaction in prices from stocks and in- vestment securities, 1t is to be reasona- bly expected that further moderate bus mess reaction will follow to the close of this low cycle.
 Therefore, the decline in iron and steel, curtailment of orders for railroad materials and manufactured commodities will continue through the year 1904.
 The year 1895 will be the beginning of a new up cycle in pig iron and for long continued prosperity in general business, lasting until the next commercial revul- sion, which will be in 1911.
 The coming opportunities to catch business and prices at their lowest lim- its of depression will not happen again for twenty years. It is estimated by financial experts that the shrinkage in values in railroad, mining and various industrial securities during the last two years amount to $4,oO0. .000.0O0. It is possi- ble that the loss of this vast amount of money can be recovered and thousand million dollars more of inflated values added to these securities during the com ing years of prosperity.

In order to change the essential proper ties of substance, thus affecting the ar- rangement of molecules. a chemical change is necessary. Hence, I conclude that the gas in question must be blue @ gas; otherwise it could not be blue as a liquid. know that, in some compound gases, the passing from the gaseous state to the liquid, a change of color takes place. as in the case of N2O3, which is a red gas, but blue liquid. But this is 8 compound gas, while oxygen is an ele- Inent, and hence is noI supposed to be- have as would a compound. Connect the above deductions with the cerulean vault above us. Can we escape the conviction that oxygen Is blue, and that the blueness of the sky stands out as a silent, but po- tent witness to this fact?
 have corresponded with a number of scientists on this subject, all of whom are favorably impressed with my conclusions. am pleased to make the following quo. tations from letter recently received from Prof. Rufus P.
