Spanish currency will be the basis-centavos and pesos--the English language will be ap- piled, for example. two centavos," rath- CT than "dos centavos."
 The Filipino stamp of the denominatior of one milesima is worth in our currency only one-twentieth of a cent. Grading up ward from one milesima there are five i'm termediate denominations before the value of two centavos, the equivalent of our one cent is reached.
 But this stamp. small in value as it is, does not hold the record. In 1878. for g special purpose. stamp was issued worth less than one-thirtieth of cent. In an un- used condition 1t is now a very rare stamp and collectors will pay S5 each for copies and 1t is worth $3 after having been used.

 The early stamps of the Philippines are very rare and are worth to collectors from $15 to $65 each for stamps intrinsically of the value of 2h cents.

The Earth's Inhabitants.


 Ernst George Ravenstein, the Ger man geographer and statistician. esti- mates that the earth, with present methods fproduction, could support POT inhabitants to the square mile. What it could support with improved methods of production, who can say? The number is beyond limit, as the pos abilities of scientific discovery are be- yond limit The gospeller of provi- dent agricultural methods who passed through Iowa last year preaching from the platform of a car the economic planting of corn told his hearers that they were getting only thirty-seven bushels of corn to the acre where they might grow one hundred and three. He told them how to do 1t by judicious se- lection of seed, thorough preparation of the ground for planting and careful cultivation. Hundreds of his hearers followed his directions, and the Iowa corn crop of 1904 was the largest ever harvested The present population of the earth. according to the latest een- suses and estimates. is 1,611, ,71S,000, or thirtv-one to the square mile of hahit- able land. If the whole earth. omit ting the desert and polar regions, were as densely populated as Great Britain and Ireland. 1t would>have a population 15,313. .076.000. It Is conceivable that time may come when such a popula- ton may exist and enjoy as much com fort as the average terrestrial inhab- itant of the present day.
 In any case there will be no occasion for fear of the consequences of nor nal increase of poulation for long time to come.

1t has not yet been decided whether
or not Fourth street will be paved
from Stinson avenue TO the Nemadji
river. There was a special meeting
of the board of public works Thurs
day to consider the matter but it was
decided to postpone the business un
I'll Monday next, when it Is requested
that property owners along the pro-
posed Improvement line and all 9th
ers who are interested in public i'm
provement matters will attend and
voice their opinions on the subject.
Strange as it may seem the proposed
plan has met with strong opposition
by property owners, who, it would
seem, would be profited by such inn
provement. The cost OF the paving is
supposed to be betrayed partly by an
assessment on property bordering on
the line, and the remainder of the ex-
pense to be met in the general tax
levy Of the city, AZ the board holds
that the entire city will be benefited
by the improvement. This will re-
dice the actual cost to the property
owners along Fourth street to a very
small amount. as compared with the
good to be derived from such an ac-
ton. Fourth street is the only
thoroughfare between Old Town and
the tenth ward, and as there is always
a heavy traffic back and forth during
the summer, it is important that the
paving should be sanctioned by every
loyal citizen.
