Burmese Court at Funerals.

Among the karens OF Burma there
is a close relation between the burial
and the wedding ceremonies. and a
death is made the occasion OF a whole
sale courting." said this paper. The
body is placed on a bamboo platform
outside the hut and all the young men
and girls gather there, singing and
laughing. The men seat themselves
on one side of the body and the girls
on the other. and there, as if made
happy by the presence OF death. they
carry on their courtships-and the
men select their wives. The Kirghiz-
KAYAKS are strong in their remem-
brance of the dead-and here may be
food for religious thought for Bible
students in their customs. After
death the body is hastily buried, ar
rayed in white clothes. and every day
for 40 days after the death the mourn
ers visit the tomb. The 40-day period
apparently is counted for no especial
reason as yet discovered.

Rapid Growth in the Southwest.

st. Louis Republic.-Congress is
slow to take the twin territories into
the union, but the people down that
way let no grass grow under their
feet. On the contrary they chop out
the grass to give the cotton and the
corn a chance to grow. The result is
that these territories, which produced
only 69,000,0 900 bushels of corn in 1900,
husked out 110,442, 900 bushels in 1905.
In 1890 they picked only 34,540 bales
Of cotton, in 1900 the crop was 224,000
bales and in 1906 it was 56,400
bales. That is, the cotton crop con-
siderably more than doubled in the
last five years. The increase of the
cotton crop approximately measures the
increase in population during the five
year period, for in each of these terri
tories the population has about douD-
led since the census of 1900.

The Limit of Agriculture.

One Nautilus, an English clergyman,
in years gone by, calculated that with
in a measurable time the human race
must deliberately block its own in
crease, lest its numbers surpass the
food producing powers of the earth.
Latterly the English scientist, Crookes,
calculated that the wheat growing
area Of the earth was nearly all occu-
pied and gloomiIy inquired what, a
few years would do for bread. Now,
Prof. Shaler of Harvard, estimates
that the land still untitled will admit
of the doubling of the present popula-
ton of the world, and furthermore
that the reclamation of marshes and
deserts will permit of another
doubling. The breeding up and inl-
provement of food-producing species
of plants whereby the yield caSS be
doubled, the regeneration of millions
of acres Of land through irrigation,
and the introduction of new plants
for growth upon dry lands now con-
sidered waste, open up such broad
avenue of unlimited crop production
that any estimate of the final agricul-
tural capacity of the earth's surface
must be founded more upon guess
work than fact.
