Result in Wyoming.

Denver-A Republican special from
Cheyenne Wednesday night says: Taft
and Mondell carried Wyoming but by
reduced majorities. The Democratic
vote was the heaviest polled in the
state in many years, and came as
surprise to Democrats as well as Re-
publicans. Full returns will not be in
for at least two days, but basing an
estimate upon what has already been
learned, Taft carried Wyoming by
from 5000 to $500, and Mondell, Re-
publican candidate for Congress, was
reelected over White, Democratic, by
a plurality Of not less than 1000. The
Democrats were successful in electing
number of state senators and repre-
sentatives, and the party will probably
have not less than 20 on joint ballot,
which is Is more than they have had
for many years.

Our Population Limit.

1t is often predicted that this coun-
try will have a population Of at least
200, 1000. perhaps before the end Of
this century. The basis for this as
sumption is, of course, the remarkable
growth Of the last fifty years. But In
order to double the present figures tho
country would have to look to some
thing else than native fertility.
immigration has peopled the United
States to a great extent. But immt-
grafton. as pointed out by MI. W. 8.
Rossiter Of the census bureau. cannot
be relied upon to keep up the rate Of
increase for a long period in the fu-
ture. The limit fixed by this authorf-
ty is. 1870, 600. 900. and after 1850 no
thinks the population will remain sta
tionary. Our gains from immigration
have always been huctuating, not
steady. Foreigners come here to bet
ter themselves. Whenever the pros
pect has changed they have ceased to
come, and this will doubtless be tho
rule in the future.

Progress. In Chemical Invention.

A novel and very plausible reason
for the eagerness Of a certain class OF
discoveries TO have their processes
patented is given by Professor Duncan
Of the University Of Kansas in Har-
per's Magazine. A few years ago. we
are told, the university professor who
degraded his science to unitarian
ends became a pariah among his fell
lows, and to take out a patent was
Of all sins against the cloth the n
least f%orgivable. 1t was the duty Of
the man of science to give his dlscov-
cries to the world" But things are
now "sweepingly different" according
to Professor Duncan, and no man, no
matter how noble his desires, car
"give his discoveries to the world"
The author cites the case Of a recent
discovery in color photography to
show. that the %patenting Of a discovery
actually forwards its Introduction. The
inventor of the process in color pho
Biography refused to patent the fun
damental idea, and nobody would
touch it. Coming to the trend Of mod
ern chemical invention, Professor Dun
can says it "is always and ever TO-
ward the conservation Of natural prod
ucts to uses more valuable than those
for which they were originally en-
ployed." Cheapness, improvement of
product or economy in material is
aimed at.
Two new processes, both Of foreign
origin, are described in the article, and
the writer urges American manufactur-
ers to be alert. In Germany water IS
being e]vaporated from peat bog by cleo
tricity with the expenditure of an insig-
nificant amount of energy, and Il Lon
don chemist has succeeded in welding
iron tocopper SO that the weld is "tougl!-
er than either of the metals that consti-
tute it," The author concludes that
efficiency in factory practice must nee
essariiy follow the application Of pure
science to industrial ends. "Fully
three-quarters Of all the patents Of
real chemical interest are German in
origin, and it is, Of course, in Germany
that we find efficiency in factory prac-
tice the sine qua non Of its operation"
The American manufacturer, then.
"must stand or fall by the degree of
efficiency he has obtained in his fac
