Dense Population
Is Not Desir able

BY HENRY LABoucHERE.. Editor Of London Truth
" OMETHING like half the human race dies in childhood. This
is not due to any law Of nature by which children are more
liable to death than adults. 1t is due mainly to imprudent
marriages.
In such cases the children arc stinted of food and also of pure mir
when their parents are crowded in great towns. Early marriages and
large families consequently are not conducive to longevity. THE
MEAN DURATION OF LIFE is REDUCED.
l am not blaming the parents for this beyond that they have mar
red and undertaken to keep Il family with the strongest probability
that they will find themselves unable to give their children a FA1R
CHANCE Of long life and healthy constitution.
1t is a mistake to suppose that the first duty Of a citizen is to in
crease the number of his fellow citizens. In Il sparscly populated
country whose resources exceed those who might live on them it is
desirable that there should be this increase. But in a community
within a restricted area where there are already many unemployed it
seems to me more reasonable TO LIMIT the population than in
crease it.
We are told that were our land laws altered more people could
live on the land. In this l agree, but were all these land occupers to
marry and procreate their species it would soon not suffice for the
population. Public works, too, we are told, should be undertaken to
absorb those out of work. Again I agree, but with the proviso that
such works should be remunerativc, for it is obvious that, with an
indefinite increase of population, a TIME MUST COME when
fresh public works could not be remuneratively found.
IN INDIA AND IN CHINA THE POPULATION IS TOO LARGE
As IT Is. THE RESULT Is PERIODIC FAMINEs AND PLAQUES
AND UNouLv Low WAGES IN TOWNS. A DENSE POPULATION
Is NO EVIDENCE or A NATIONS PROSPERITY, BUT OFTEN THE
REVERSE.

fault to the world. He took the boy to
his home. raised him, educated him in
the best schools Of the time, took him
to Europe and introduced him~every-
where rs his son and had him appoint
Ell colonial governor Of New Jersey.
The boy afterward turned Tory. but
that was no fault Of the father. So,
while the lightning flashed for this
modern Frometheus. bringing the CO.
lestial fire down to mortals. there were
accompanying it little human lightning
flashes revealing the character Of his
OWL soul.
Despite his modesty this achievement
ut once made Benjamin Franklin one
Of the most illustrious men Of his age.
He was elected Il member Of the Royal
society and other learned bodies Of Eu-
rope. was given doctors degrees by
Harvard, Yale and other universities,
which. by the way, he regarded with a
feeling Of half amused contempt, and
he was the lion Of the hour both at
home and abroad.
Such vogue had the lightning rod
that the king had rods placed upon his
palace. Then. when Franklin went
with the colonies at the approach Of
the Revolution. pseudo scientist
named Wilson convinced his majesty
that he should have rods topped with
balls. Anent this there was a piece Of
punning doggerel that had quite a
vogue ut the time. One stanza Of it ran
Ike this:
While YOU. great George. for safety hunt
And sharp conductors change for blunt.
h empires out Of joint.
FRANKLIN Il wiser course pursues
And all your thunder fearless views
By keeping to the point.

glory for it and does not always re-
ceive even that. but some one who does
not know enough to invent a mouse
trap usually takes the money. Genius
and graft ley did so together. For
a long time Franklin. by his own ac-
count. ute only bread and milk for his
breakfast, and that out Of a twopenny
earthen porringer with Il pewter spoon,
He did this because he could afford
nothing better. Yet he let M English
arm Of ~stovemakers get rich out Of
one Of his inventions. Or maybe he
couldn't help himself. At any rate
they got the protits-and oblivion
while he ate bread and milk and is
Vow II OF the immortals.
1t was Franklin who discovered that
northeast storms start In the southwest,
which created quite a stir in his day.
He also contrivet some improvements
for ships. He crossed the ocean sew
eral times and probably noticed that
there was o for Improvement. He
also discovered that waves may be qui-
eted by pouring oil upon them. an idea
that only now is being put to practical
account. 1t is not on record that he
also invented the phrase about pouring
oil on the troubled waters, but he made
80 many other phrases that it would
not be surprising if he were found to
have been the author Of this. He is ac-
cused OF even more heinous things. For
example. he wrote poetry and was one
Of the first humOrlsts in America.
But Franklin's supreme contribution
to science was in the field Of electricity.
30 thoroughly did he identify himself
with the first development Of electrical
knowledge and SO fully did he succeed
n bringing that knowledge to the

mankind. AS a printer he was a
shrewd business man and made money
sufficient to lay aside a comfortable
fortune for old age. In science he gave
the world his best without money and
without price.
From bis earliest boyhood Franklin
had shown a genius for invention. One
of his first cO%ntrivances consisted of
paddles on his hands and flaps OH his
feet to aid him in swimming. Later he
so arranged Il kite that it pulled him
through the water. This was not the
only kite with which he experimental,
but it was the first. The one he used
to coax the lightning on to n string
came some thirty years later. This was
the famous kite that is destined to fly
down h ages. carrying Franklin's
name with it. The early II only car
ried his body across Il pond.
Franklin made IN extensive study of
firpplaccs ;llld drafts, doubtless occa-
stoned by the fact than Oh one of the
coolest mornings of winter his fire fail
ell to draw. Then he observed that
about tiIree-fourtlls Of the fuel was
wasted, and this was Il sorrow to his
economical soul. The upshot was that
he wrote an essay Oh drafts that is an
authority even unto this day and ill.,
vented Il stove which was used extern
sivcly in the colonies and even in Eu-
rope. which was still on deck in the
memory of people now living and
which made a very snug amount of
money-for the manufacturers. This
Franklin stove was patented in Eng
land. but not by the inventor. The

COOKING BY RETAINED HEAT.

and which supports the pan or sec

Substantially the apparatus consists
of an outer casing Of metal and an
inner casing Of heavy tin. Between
these are the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
cylinders of dead air and a body Of
ibrous material. The tight fitting lid
is similarly constructed. This effects
a perfect retention Of heat. In the
bottom Of the cooking receptacle are
placed a quantity Of water and a per-
forated support for the vessel contain

apparatus is very simple. An article
Of food prepared In the usual manner
and placed in the granite ware cooking
receptacle is put on the fire until the
contents are thoroughly permeated
with the heat at a cooking temperature.
The receptacle Is then set into the

period Of time depending on the char

masses OF the people that future ages
will probably regard him as the prac.
teal d%iscOverev Of this marvellous force.
1t was in 174S that Franklin, having
laid by n competence, sold his paper
almanac aud printing plant and re-
solved to devote the rest Of his life to
research and study. He had already
become Interested in the almost un-
known power of electricity and had in
vented his 'magic picture" animated
fish, and other electrical contrivances
to anluse the curious. He had also as
sisted in inventing an electric motor,
perhaps the first ever made. He had
shown that the mysterious fluid, US it
was then called. could be drawn of
by sharp metal points and had pro-
pounded his startling theory that light
ming and electricity are one and that
therefore buildings might he protected
by sharp pointed rods, u suggestion
that was laughed ut in England, but
was taken up by the celebrated Burton
in France and resulted in the lightning
rod.
1t was then that the kite experiment
came. This kite was constructed out
of his silk handkerchief, attached to
which was "a pointed wire. The re-
suit probably had the most profound
effect on the popular mind Of any sci
entific experiment eve made.
-Four characteristic circumstances are
connected with that kiteflying episode,
and, Willie they are not all scientific,
they are so Illuminating as to the char
acter OF Franklin as to be worth tell
ing. In the first place, the experiment
was exceedingly dangerous, and Frank
lin knew it to be dangerous. He had
already killed birds by the current, had
propoun'led the theory that electricity
would take life and had himself been
shocked into insensibility and nearly
Killed In a former experiment. But,
though he knew the hazard, he faced it
SO calmly lis 10 suggest that he had
never thought Of it.
The second circumstance was his
ain ucliberation about giving the re-
suits of his investigation to the world.
he waited three months. Then Il very
Short letter appeared in Il London mag
aZinc rciting not that he had made
the experiment. but merely that it had
been made in Philadelphia, and signed
by the modest initials "R. F." That
was all-no hint of boasting or flour
ish of trulnpcts. 1t is real greatness
that can afford to be humble.
rr1
The last thing connected with that
world illuminating experiment vas that
Franklin was assisted in making it by
his o William, which Is Il story In
itself. For William Franklin was a
natural" sou, born out of wedlock.
He was the fruit Of the philosophers
early indiscretion. But like Il man

A German Cure For Colds.

A timely report to the state depart
ment from Consul General Guenther,
at Frankfort, announces a positive cure
for a cold. 1t consists Of a mixture
Of cocaine, paranephine and water, ap-

secretions and cures the cold usually

IN Dishes.
A new method for cooking by re-
tained heat has been invented by Felix
Kahn Of New York city. In the cook
Ing Of foods us ordinarily practiced
there is u great waste Of heat, care
and attention, an unnecessary amount
Of wear and tear on the cooking uten-
sils. a large loss Of food material aud
too frequently m inferior quality Of
food, due to drying and burning and
the loss of juices.
The invention is an improvement
over u former one wherein the food
which had been previously stewed or
boiled was kept in a hot condition. BY
subsequent experiment it was found
that after having first perlneated food
with heat at a cooking temperature it
was possible to stew or boil the same
to perfection by the heat as conserved
against loss by radiation, but that it
was physically impossible to steam or
dry cook in that device by heat with
out the addition of a body Of water.
In the improved form Of the device this
is accomplished by placing q body Of
water In the bottom of the cooking re-
