THE WORLDS TELEPHONE.

OF the 100000 telephones in the
world, 100000 are in America, 2,000,-
900 in Europe, and the other 100000
scattered over the remainder of the
planets surface. Commenting on these
recent estimates and their probable
correctness, The National Telephone
Journal, of London, says the reason
why Europe cuts so poor figure in
comparison with America Is that four
or five of the most civilized and popu-
lous countries are extraordinarily
backward in telephone development.
France, Australia, Hungary, Belgium,
Holland and Italy-in the first four of
which the telephone is entirely in the
hands Of the government-may be in
stanced. In the whole OF France there
are less than 100000 stations, and in
Austria and Hungary combined there
are actually fewer telephones than in
the city of Chicago.
Ancient cities of universal renown,
counting 100000 or 100000 inhabitants
and moreover of greater commercial
importance-such as Lyons, Marseilles,
Naples, Antwerp and Prague-are far
behind American towns with $4,000 to
100000 inhabitants, such as Peoria, St.
Joseph, Dayton and Norfolk, Va, which
few Europeans have ever heard Of
while Vienna, with a population Of
nearly 10000 has not so many sta
lions as San Francisco, with $4,000
souls. If the countries Of central and
western Europe were as well developed
telephonically as even Great Britain
and Germany. to say nothing of Scan
dinavia-the comparison with America
would be vastly more fattering.

FARGO AND THE SNOW.

According to all advices t''is city was
the center of the Saturday d Sunday
storm. There was some snowfall IN
other localities but nothing to compare
with the fifteen inches that fell here
and that piled UP in eight and ten feet

There wasn't an idle laborer in the city
Monday-at least there were none who
were willing to work. The merchants

the beautiful Indian summer - the
snowfall came with a rush and bois-
terousness that enlivened things.

THE U. s. PENSIONERS.

There are now 946,194 people on the
pension rolls Of the United States gov
eminent. The number is less than in
1905, when the totals were 99S, AL.
Some of these are men whose claims
are due to the Spanish American war,
but the greater bulk Of the funds paid
out by Uncle Sam go to those who
either participated in the strife be-
tween the north and south or were
dependent on thosa who fought valiant
ly for the northern side.
The high water mark Of the pension
roll appears to have been reached. The
total expended this year was $161,973,-
703. At no time since the surrender OF
General Lee had the amount been sc
high. 1t is the general opinion now
hat the food win begin to recede
rne total amount paid during the las

Enough to Cover Worlds Entire Sur
face to Depth of 100 Feet.
Washington, Nov. 16-The water
which exists as vapor In the atuos-
phere. IL precipitated. would cover the
whole era of the earth to a depth OF
an inch and the ice In the polar re-
gions If melted, would cover the whole
area Of the earth five feet deep. ac-
cording to the photographs office Of
the navy.
This estimate is made i'm an official
computation of the amount OF water In
the Great Lakes. IT is improbable that
as mucn as one-tenth of / per cent of
the fresh water in the world is COM
tanned in the Great Lakes and their
tributaries. The official estimate gives
307, 100000 cubic miles as the quantity
Of water in the oceans of the world.
and 1880 cubic miles as the oIurie
in the Great Lakes and their tributar-
les.
The lowest competent estimate of
the free water held in the earth's crust
would be equivalent to uniform sheet
over the entire 197,16s,796 square miles
Of the total area OF the earth's sur
face to a depth OF about 100 feet. This
however, according to the photographic
Office. is only three sevenths of what
Van Hise has estimated 1t to be. and
about one-seventy-flft of the amount
postulated by Delesse, whose estimate
has been widely relied upon.
