the cane crop is progressing
very well, but the impression
that the crop would prove re-

is making itself manifest to some
extent. Nevertheless q very

WILL THE HUMAN RACE DIE OF THIRST?

Biologists are able, says the
Literary Digest, to point out various
directions in which the world is NOV.
ing, having for their common goal
the destruction Of the human race.
But whether in the end We shall die
of thirst, or starvation, or heat, or
cold, OF Overcrowding, or in some
other way, few are bold enough to
predict. The end, in any case, seems
far away. Which of these destructive
agencies will overtake US first? Or
will the pendulum reverse its swing,
bringing life instead of death in its
train? That the present geological
epoch is being marked by a disap-
pesrance of surface-water has been
noted before in these columns. Evil
IDENTIFY If the entire fresh-water supply
of the globe should fail we should be
In a bad way, altho rain would con-
tinue to fall SO long Is evaporation
from the ocean remained q possibility.
Writing in Chambers's Journal, j.
E. Whitby marshals some of the data
that point to the gradual withdrawal
Of the streams and other bodies of
water from the earth's surface. He
says:
1T is we'll established nowadays
that both. in Africa and in Central
Asia, and indeed in all the great
levels of the world, the water-beds
= drying up. A great number of
lakes we'll known during the historical
age have entirely disappeared: while
in Africa, Lake Chirous, to the south
west Of Nyassa, has been shrinking
during the last twenty years, and has
now no place. Lake Ngami, which
was discovered by Livingstone, ex-
lists no longer. Lake Tchsd is now
nothing but . half-dried-up wster-bed.
Turning to Austrslia-snd In dis
cussing this matter it will be noticed
that only the important lakes, ETC.,
ere considered, tho there are count
less smaller depots Of water, rivers,
streams, and rills following the ex-
ample-we find that Lake Eyre has
greatly decreased in size.
Explorations in Central Asia
have proved that for centuries q zone
stretching from the esst to the south
east Of this part Of the Cars domin-
ions has been drying up; deserts are
gradually spreading, and reports
show that IL Is only in the neiShbor-
hood Of mountains, round whose
br0ws vspor condenses and falls for
the service Of the agriculturist, that
can be carried on or that
life itself can be preserved.

prove that two thousand years ago

ually drying,

ually drying,
"The river Tarim, which was once
one of the most frequented Asiatit
routes. is now almost gone; and Lob.
nor, which formerly covered an area
four times as large as the Lake Of
Geneva, is now nothing but a shallow
marsh, whose greatest depth is fifteen
feet. Without naming the numerous
deserts which e once habitable and
peopled, and coming to q part of the
world more generally known, it may
be remarked that the Siberian lakes
have greatly diminished both in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
''In European Russia large
stretches of country that were once
covered with water are now dry; and
Novgorod, that modern of a
busy commercial fair, where thou
sands of merchants congregate an
nually, was in the Middle Ages so
surrounded by marsh that the Mon
gOls, when sweeping the country,
we're unable to seize it,"
The author quotes Prince Kropot-
kin, the Russian scientist, as author
ity for referring all these effects to
changes that have been going on
since the glacial period. Northern
Europe and Asia to the fiftieth degree
of latitude were then covered with
thick ice, stretching to the valleys of
the Don and Dnieper. When the ice
retired, all parts of these regions
below an altitude of three thousand
feet became submarine, the Gulf of
Finland stretching to Lake Ladoga,
and being separated from the Arctic
ocean only by . narrow neck OF land.
The Caspian Sea reached to the Sea
of Aral. The water, therefore, left by
the glaciers has been, and is being,
simply used up in different ways,
nature playing her usual reckless
part. The writer goes on to say:
"The Russian scientist has natur-
ally devoted his examination of this
to his own country; but
the reports which come from other
lands nearer home bear out the same
d~isquieting fact. Everywhere in our
own country, as in others, water
are giving out and water
beds drying up, slowly perhaps, but
The increase of population
and the modern system of drainage
have. of course, . great deal to
answer for; but much Of the drought
is undoubtedly caused by the rapid

but preserve the moisture of the soil.
While it is impossible for puny man
TO control the geological period
through which we are passing. and
whose characteristics would be-ac.
cording to some-the gradual disap-
pearance of water, it may be inquired
whether it would not be advisable to
postpone that disagreesble moment of

possible by the better preservation

persistent replanting of trees"

A FORTUNATE VISIT.
E. P. olds Went to His Tenement to
Find 1t Ablaze.

But for timely discovery, L. p.
0lds' house on Washington street would
have been seriously damaged by fire
last evening. The blaze started in a
most singular manner. Mr.. 0lds had
been oiling the floors of the vacant tene-
ment Of the house, and on leaving his
work at s o'clock he put the oily rags.
which he had been using, in the middle
of the floor and threw his oyeralls on
top of them. About three hours later
he went into the rooms to show them
to some prospective tenants, and found
the rooms filed with smoke.
On investigating he found that the
hardwood floor beneath the rags was all
atire a space about eighteen inches
square had been burned through to the
lining underneath. There had been no
fire in the rooms and no matches in the
overalls. The only cause that can be
attributed is spontaneous combustion.

might have caused considerable dsmag ge

KNEW CHANCE WAS SLIM.
Rutland Attorney Had Little Hope Of
Getting Writ.

Rutland, June 9.--Judge Butler went
to Albany, n. Y, to apear for his law
partner, Il. w. Moloney, to present the
petition for writ Of error before JUS
tice Peckham in the case of Mary Rog-
ers. Mr.. Moloney was busy in Addison
county court.
Both attorneys stated that they
thought the chances OF obtaining writ
of error were very slim. In speaking Of
the case Mr.. Afoloney stated that in
view of the fact that the Vermont SUI
preme court denied the petition for a
new trial he did not think there was
much chance OF obtaining writ Of err
ror.
Mr.. Butler said: aThe federal ques-
tions involved in the case are pretty mar
row and Mrs. Rogers right to relief
through the federal courts is very
doubtful. There are, however, some very
important legal questions that ought
to be decided before the woman is ex-
ecuted on the warrant of the Benning
ton county court"
Mr.. Butler intimated that if they
are unsuccessful in their effort to OBJ
tain writ of error there is still an
other means Of saving the woman's life,
but he would not say what it was.
II think that we are admitting consid-
erable as it is" he said.
