THE NuMsER OF ANIMALS.
Recent Attempts to Tabulate the
Beasts That Perish.

Every now and then some natural
list endeavors to make an approximate
numerical count of known animal
species. This kind of attempt is sure
~ not without interest, but it must be
acknowledged that its results are very
uncertain. We are far from knowing
all species, and there is yet delight
full prospect ahead for those who love
systematic zoology and for biologists
who bestow mutual honors by giving
each others names to some animal
hitherto unknown.
As Nurmann remarked to a recent
meeting of naturalists at the museum,
to which he presented his Catalogues
Mammalian" the species of rodents
known in 1880 were only go in num-
Der; now they are 1900. The num-
Der has thus, at least, doubled in 81
years. The number of living species
of this creature now known is about
$500, divided among $50 genera. This
family is the most numerous of the
class of mammalia.-Wissen fur ALE.

Increased Prices for Grain More Than

from Crop Experts.

Most of the states of the union felt
the unusually severe winter of 1867,
and the effects of the succeeding late
spring were everywhere apparent.
Corn was planted two and sometimes
three times, the winter wheat suffered
and generally there was a nervous
feeling as the retarded growth was in
evidence. From the Dakotas to Texas
the feeling of dread existed, and the
fears were entertained that the crop of
corn, wheat, oats and barley would
be distinct failure. How far this was
the case is best left to those who
passed through the experience. Natur
ally the same conditions were preva-
lent throughout the province of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, in
western Canada, and with from $780,
900 to 100000 farmers there from the
United States a large degree of inter
est was manifest in almost every state
of the union, for every state has some

The recently completed census of
Oklahoma shows a population of l.
40S,732. In 1900 the two territories
which made up the new state had
total population of only 79O,391. Only
% states had, in 1890, a larger popu-
iation than Oklahoma has now. The
next reapportionment will probably in
crease the representation of Oklaho-
ma in congress; for while the enabling
act gives the state five representa-
tives, the population, on the present
basis of apportionment, would allow
seven The whole of New England
could be set down within the limits
of the new state and leave fringe
of territory amounting to nearly 1000
square miles.

A NeiqhborIy Act.

Disorder in Central America is Of
fensive to Mexico and to the United
States. It is as if the neighbors of
two law-abiding citizens were continu-
ally pickering and carrying their quar-
rels over the fence into the grounds of
the peaceful. 1t is the duty of the
orderly, not only for their own protec-
ton, but in the interest of decency, to
persuade the disorderly to behave
themselves. The presidents of the
United States and of Mexico acted as
benevolent international neighbors
when they rendered the good Offices of
their governments to the quarreling
republics in Central America to assist
in arranging a plan for arbitrating all
disputes which cannot be settled by
the republics themselves. Government
is in an unsettled condition in Central
America. Although nominally demo-
cratic in form, in fact it is almost
military despotism. That aspiring
leader wins the election who can COM
mand the largest number of soldiers,
and the people have little concep
ton of the nature of what we in
America know as representative insti
buttons. There is little more respect
for the rights of the neighboring coun-
tries than for the rights of the opposi-
ton party; consequently petty wars
are of frequent occurrence. This sur
vival of sort of petty feudalism, a
group of little warning countries,
squabbling over matters that other
peoples to-day settle peaceably, can
not be tolerated. 1t is necessary, how
ever, remarks Youths Companion, for
the United States to assume that
these little countries mean to keep the
peace save on the gravest provoca-
ton. Yet it's joint action with Mexico
amounts to little less than a warnin g
that if they do not behave in an order
1y manner voluntarily, they will be
forced to submit to the power of the

interested in injuring the country cir
culated stories of ruin and disaster,
but the effect was lost, as it had been
long enough in the limelight to prove
its high standing amongst the agrl-
cultural sections of the continent. The
heavy strain placed upon it was not
too great; it has shown that the faith
placed in it has been warranted, and
it is this year producing undoubted ev-
idence that in agricultural pOssibiH-
