Motor SupcrStitiOns.

The men who take part in big
motor races are a hard headed lot
but they have few pet supersti-
tons just the same. 1t Is almost
impossible to get any of them to
accept the No. 13, for instance, and
is another number considered by
them to be unlucky, as well as 23.
An entrant in the 1906 Vanderbilt
cup race who wrecked his car against
a telegraph pole and had his ribs
broken attributed his misfortunes to
the facts that his car was No. 7
and that he was 23 years old.
A large number of drivers feel that
to discard hat or cap that has been
in any successful event would be
to invite disaster in the next. A GER.

hat in all his races for the last few
years, and would refuse to take the

Guessing At Population.

Congressional preparation for TAX
ing the 1910 census has started stat
sticians to making estimates OF the
population of the country and pre-
diction of what it will be in 1850.
James ]. Hill recently offered the
prediction that the United States
would have a population of 100000
900 by 1850, although other experts
in vital statistics place the number
a. low as IT'S, 100000.
One of the census experts, w. S.
Rossiter, has just published an ar
ticle in which he estimates the popu-
lation in 1910 at about 100000
and ventures the assertion that after
that date the rate of increase will
be very small. with the prospect that
the entire population in 1850 will
not exceed 1870, 100000.
The record shows that the rate of
our population increase is diminish
ing with each decennial census. The
increase from 1870 to 1880 was 81
per cert. From 1880 to 1890 it
was "a per cent. From 1890 to
1900 1t was but 81 per cent. Mr..
Rossiter argues that IL this declining
ratio continues the population in
1850 will not exceed 130,000,000,
and will thereafter remain about sta
tionary He shows by the records
that all estimates of population at
former census periods have been
greatly exaggerated.

Salt Farming.

One of the strangest farms in the
world Is situated in Southern Cal
ifornia, 265 feet below the level OF
the sea. The place is known as
Salton. 1t is salt farm of about
1000 acres.
Here the salt lies, as deposited
by nature, from inches to 16 inches
in depth. The salt farmers are busy
harvesting this crop the year round;
and, though the harvest has continu-
ed for over 20 years, during which
time more than 100000 tons of salt
have been harvested, only 10 of the
1000 acres of the farm have been
worked. The salt Is first plowed
up into burrows; it is then thrown
into conical piles by men with bar
rows, after which it is taken to the
reduction works near by and put
into marketable condition.
The work is done by Mexicans
and Chinese, the intense heat being
more than Americans can endure.
