THE WORLD DRYING UP.
Possibility That the Human Race Viii
Die Of Thirst

We are to die of thirst. Compare
lively few persons know the suffering
involved in thirst for which there Is
no help at hand. The consuming thirst
more than the pain Of any wound
makes the battlefield hell. Yet death
by thirst is the doom forecast for the
race by grim scientists. Biologists
find that the fresh water supply of the
globe is failing. They have data which
point to the gradual withdrawal OF the
streams and other bodies of waite,
from the surface. Both in Africa and
central Asia and. indeed. in all the
great levels the water beds are drying
up. 4 great number of lakes wei
known in the historical age have en-.
tiraly disappeared. For example. Lake
Chiroua. in Africa. has vanished with
in recent years, as has also Lake
Ngamj. discovered by Livingstone
Lake Tchad is more than half dried
up. For centuries bodies of water IL

ALESSON FOR ADVERTISERS.

As an instance of the value ofnews-
paner advertising to increase or force
trade, the following facts are remark
able. During December the orders
received by the Douglas Boot X Shoe
company, of Brockton, Mass, tell OH
in consequence of the business de
preston following the panic. The
advertising manager of that large
concern mentioned the matter to
Governor Douglas, and asked his adj
vice. whether under the circumstances
they should place the usual amount
of advertising during January and
February, which are usually the slow
est months in the year i'll the shoe
business. Governor Douglas at once
ordered an increase of 80 per cent in
the amount appropriated for adver-
Using, declaring that such an increase
would help to overcome the unfavor
able business outlook. There was
considerable skepticism about the re-
suit among the principal employees of
the Douglas company. But the result
showed almost an immediate improve
ment in business, which is now aver
aging more than last year during these
unusually dull months.
Thus the business sagacity of Gov
ernor Douglas has overcome the hard
times, and his optimism has proven
an antidote to the panic.
The advertising manager of Gov
ernor Douglas explains the phcnomc-
nom of increased sales, when by all
the rules of business there should have
been decrease, rs entirely produced
by the Increased advertising. Other
advertisers of shoes were drawing in
their horns aud many of their GUS
toners were induced to patronizc the
Douglas Shoe because ii was more
than ever brought to their notice.

CREOSOTED PAVEMENT.

There has Just been issued from the
forest service at Washington a circu-
lar referring to recent successes in
the employment of crcosoted wooden
blocks for pavement. The forest
service believes that with a better
knowledge of the fitness of some
woods and the effect of preservatives
on durability it is..almost certain the
use of wood will increase.
Suggestions as to the best method
of using wood favor rectangular
blocks. thoroughly seasoned and pre-
served from decay with creosote
Enough of the oil is injected to re-
duce TO minimum the absorption of
water and consequent expansion and
contraction Of the pavement. The
blocks are laid with the grain vertical
over an accurately surfaced cushion
on Il solid foundation of cement-con-
crete. They are close jointed, and in
the best practice the joints are made
water proof. The result is said to be
pavement which is smooth. quiet.
resilient. sanitary, easily cleaned and
easily repaired.
The cost of creosoted wood pave
ment in the United States has varied
from $40 TO $3.50 a square yard.
Notwithstanding the high first cost
the forest service thinks there are
considerations of service and durabil-
ity that materially increase the differ
euoe i'll favor Of ereosoted wood.
There is in the United States. how
ever, almost No wood pavement OF
the modern kind which has Yet been
down lorg enough 10 show its dura
bility.
