How The World Grows.

In little more than 100 years,
according to government figures, the
population of the world has grown
from Gao, 100000 to 1900, 0O0,ODo,
an increase of $50 per cent. AT the
end of so many hundreds of CEN
turtles, in other words there We're in
the world in 1S0G only 100000, 900
Of persons, and 100 years, from 1900
to 1906, to this number had been
added $50, 100000.
The total commerce of the world
in 1900 was about one and half
billions of dollars in 1900 it was
more than twenty billions of dollars.
Other figures show that in wealth
and the growth Of various industrial
agencies the increase has been tar
swifter than that of population.
The overpopulation OF the world
Is not a present menace to the think
ers of today, but the thinkers or a
period when there We're less than
half as many people in the world as
there are now seriously debated the
imminence on the catastrophe that
the overcrowding of the earth WoAld
produce. Boston Globe.

Ducks Slide On Ice.

Ezekiel Crawford, of Northport, l..
l., has flock of Muscovy ducks
which quite accidentally have inver.-
ed q new game. They were in The
habit of flying from the barn u the
duck pond upon Crawford's farm and
entering the water with rebound
ing splash.
When winter arrived and the pond
was coated with smooth ice the ducks
flew from the barn as usual. Near
ing the surface Of the pond they eX-
tended their feet and quit flying
evidently expecting to splash into the
water. They did nothing of the kind.
Their feet slipped out from under
them and they sat down hard and
slid swiftly across the ice until they
bumped against the frozen shore.
"Quack, quack!" said the ducks,
and hurried back to the barn to try
it again. The result was the same.
Again and again they are said to
have tried the stunt. Now it is said
they show signs Of Joy when, upon
retiring at night, they note evidences
of freezing before morning.-New
York Times.

Berries q Trap For Game.

Black hawberries are now furnlsh.
ing delicious meals for hunters IN the
mountains. They are also being de-
voured by bears, and they are being
picked off the branches by coons and
opossums. Indeed, the black haW'
berry is one of the real food products
of the woods, and there is no danger
of a lost person starving.
You cannot convinced mountalneel
that the haw is NOT food. The only
trouble about it is that it takes q
great many berries to make ban
ouet, 1t is the thick, mealy flesh sur
rounding the seed that is eaten, ano
in some sections housewives make
them into a sort of jelly.
Experienced hunters make IL
practice to look for bears and grouse
in the vicinity of clump OF nav
bushes, and generally succeed in find
ing the game there.
The berries grow in large clusters
like elderberries, and a quart can be
picked in a few minutes, --Minneapo

THE SOUTH HAS JUST FINISHED ONE OF THE GREATEST
CHANNELrMAKING UNDERTAKINGS IN HISTORY
New Jetties Ready Big ShipsLower Mississippi Gets
One of Worlds Deepest Harb0rS.

the top of the jetties, and which is
the work receiving its finishing
touches this week, is only few feet
wide. The Gaping Is a sea wall
four and one-half feet high and is
the only portion of the jetties not
submerged. The wall weighs between
two and three tons to each linear
foot.
The submerged structure support
ing this mass of concrete Is made
brush. With the aid of frame works
of scantling the willows were formed
into so-called mattresses-broad, fiat
structures resembling bed mattresses
in form-each about two feet thick,
200 feet long and varying in width
from thirty-tive to $50 feet. The
mattresses were sunk one above the
other, with the widest at the bottom
and those above uniformly diminish
ing in width as they approached the
surface. The topmost mattresses
were uniformly thirty-five feet wide,
and on level with the surface of the
water. Heavy broken stone was
spread evenly over the mattresses to
sink them, so that layer Of stone
rests between each of these willow
structures. The greatest number OF
supperimposed mattresses is five.
The Mississippi has done some In
teresting work in addition to scour-
ing out a channel, for 1t has made
the mattresses practically indestruc-
tible to any normal agency OF nature
in this region by burying them under
hundreds of tons Of mud. These de-
posts follow closely the contour OF
the jetties, in conjunction with which
they form new banks Of the river.
The only change likely to occur in
! the jetties is their gradual sinking,
until in time the concrete Gaping
! entirely disappears. This sinking
already has occurred to the Jetties
at South Pass.
In the course of many years a new
bar may form by silt deposits in the
Gulf in the now deep water beyond
the mouth of the jetties, and then the
remedy will be the extension OF the
| jetties a short distance further The
rate OF bar extension during nearly
seventy-tive years preceding the
starting of the ietties was between
, $50 and $50 feet annually, and the
deposits responsible for this advance
were made when conditions, now
greatly changed, favored such accre-
| tons.
Part of the $6,00O.000 allotted to
making the channel is being spent in
safeguards several miles above the
,ietties to prevent any increase in the
flow of other large outlets from the
main river to the Gulf This Is being
accomplished byplacing stone covered
mattress stills on the river bottom
across the entrances to those outlets.
Several small bayous leading from
Southwest Pass to the Gulf will be
| entirely closed up.

the more we read and hear the more
we are led to Believe that the fathers,
in not so informed and scientific an
age, were not so deluded when they
accepted on faith that for which we

when we ask for 1t, so 1t would seem.

The gates of hell cannot prevail

for the heavy-hearted, enthusiasm for
the discouraged, admonition for the
wicked, salvation for the penitent.
The farmer feels its vitality, the
shepherd acknowledges its appeal,
the rich man learns its lessons, the
poor man thanks God for its democ-

people. And wherever there Is soul

there Is mind in gloom. or a body

the Bible be and be enjoyed. For 1t

it can inspire and intensity woman's

things.
And because it does it will never

A Rise nv Sclf-SacrifjCp,

Enough has been said of the fall
by sclf-will to show us that man must
rise by self-sacrifice. To grow this
passion within him were all the sac
rifces to which God led him in his
weary history. More and more near
ly did God reveal Himself unto man.
until in the self-sacrifiCc Of Calvary
the heart OF man was taken and God s
self-sacrifce began the life of self
sacrifice in humanity. THE glory OF
God and of the Lamb is light there
Of"
Enough has been said OF the city
its divine sOcialism-to show that to
reach 1t each man must begin to live
for others, that his whole life must
be n life of meeknCss and burden
bearing. God through the ages re-
vealcd Himself as the bearer or man $
burdens and by this revelation lifted
men slowly to a life of mutual help
fulness, until at last i'll the SIN
bearer He disclosed himself as the
victim OF Calvary. The future social
organization after that could have
no other light but that of the glory
of God in the slain Lamb.
Enough has been said of holiness
in man-of sainthood--t show that
the city of God will be inhabited-if
it is the Holy City-by those who
have met with foes and vanquished
them, by those who have known the
cross before they saw the crown. 1
look into Johns vision and hear the

power, as the redeemed come home.
First, the new heavens, then the new
earth. Vision, then action. Men
are like colonists who have now and
then granted unto them vision OF
how things ought to be in the land
ideal, in the land of which they hear
from beyond. BY and by they get
thereto the reality comes out OF them
to meet the reality which ever hath
