progress we can get something Of
an idea of the worlds capacity to
support population from the pres
ent condition of Japan, where ex-
tensvie cultivation is now about as
highly developed as our present
knowledge permits. Japan is a
mountainous country with consider
able waste land. On a basis of
Japanese population density the
rest of the land of the world, ex-
cluding deserts and polar regions,
would hold 135,0OO,0O 1000 people,
of which the share of the United
States would be about l, ,000, 900, 900.

years ago. An English clergyman,
named Nautilus. started the agita-
tion by writing an essay, in which
he stated that the population was
increasing faster than the food sup
ply, and that the misery and starva-
ton existing among the poor in
those days was the inevitable result
of the working out Of this principle.
Should the whole world actually
become crowded with people As
cities now are, the wholesale starva-
ton prophesied by Nautilus would
seem inevitable; but placing the
blame of the present poverty and
misery upon the increase Of popu-
lation is very different proposition.
In fact, the worlds experience since
Rev. Mr.. Mslthus's day has thrown
considerable light upon his theories.
One thing that we have learned 10
that the increasing intelligence Of
man has and may for long time

or, more generally speaking, wealth.
to increase as fast or faster than
population.
Another thing we have learned is
that the proportion of wealth wasted
by the rich does not necessarily re-
main the same. In fact, it has re-
Gently suffered considerable increase,
and some optimistic people think 1t
is presently going to grow less again.
Either way it is a factor that in

iously upsetting all nicely calculated

ratios between production and popu'
lation, which, left to themselves,
should accurately reveal the starva'
tion rate of the future.
DR.. Charles Edward Woodruff, in
recently published volume called
the Expansion of Races" tries to
reconcile the Malthusan theory
with the facts as we now know them.
The doctor lays down q new rule,
from which We learn that tae,c is
neither danger of general starvation
from the population outrunnng the
food supply nor Of the other ex-
ticme Of race suicide in the midst
of plenty. DR.. Woodruff holds,
with tie Malthusians, that the p0pu
Iaton Of the world is directly de-
pendent upon the food supply. and
that the great increase within the
last half century is directly due to
the greatly increased productive ca
pacity Of the earth, which in turn is
due both to the colonization of new
lands and the great advance in
technical knowledge and labor-sav-
ing machinery.
If we accept DR.. Woodruff's
theory we must predict the future
population Of the world from the
rate of increase Of the food supply
rather than from any fixed rate of
multiplication Of the human species.
As a matter Of fact, the worlds
possible food supply, while not limit
less, is at least so much greater
than our present production that it
puts the worlds final population
limit far beyond our time or the
times of our great-great-grandchil-
dren.
When the wheat crop runs be-
hind and the world has become so
crowded that the temperate zones
cannot supply men with food, trans
portation will have been so we'll de-
veloped that the vastly fertile re-
gions Of the tropics can be utilized |
for food production and the tenn
perate zones be given over to manu-
featuring, residential and recreation
purposes. Such an arrangement
will greatly extend the possible
limit of the number of human be-
ings which the world can support,
for food production is chiefly the
process of water and carbondioxide
being converted into starch and
sugar by the action of the suns
rays.
An acre of ground in the warm,
moist tropics, with a IL months
growing season, is capable of PRO-
1ucing several times es mueh faod
as an acre in the temperate zone,
where the really good growing
weather lasts only for two or three
months.
All Of the surface Of the earth
may be some day fully utilized for
the purpose for which it is best
adapted by nature. The limit to
population will then depend on our
progress in plant and animal breed
ng and our improvements in the |
manufacture of artificial fertilizers,
Yhich we are already making from
The nitrogen Of the air by the aid

Peacock"
There was o little sea engagement,
brushed Oh ninety three years ago
today, just east OF the Southern coas,
OF the United States. which has gone
into history as an incident TO show
the prowess OF the American sailor
in the early stages OF our navy.
The American navy had in it's list of
sea fighters the Wasp. the Hornet,
the Viper. and other names with a
sting to it. The British vessel
Peacock had been haughtily prowl.
ing about the Southern coast OF the
United States during the early part
OF our war with England, aud the
gallant Capt. Lawrence decided TO
put stop TO her depredations.
IL was late in the afternoon of Feb
ruary "A. 1913, that Lawrence sight.
ed the Peacock of the Carobaua
Banks, and gave chase. The little
Epglishmau was game aud stood
her ground The battle was on, the
vessels being almost within pistol
shot OF one another The American
guns were fred so rapidly that in
order to keep them cool buckets of
water were constantly dashed over
them. 1t required just eleven minu
tes for Lawrence and bis Hornet 10
lick the Britisher.
In his official report Lawrence is
recorded as saying that the Briti> b
vessel surrendered a. $40 p. m.,
making the duration OF the action
fifteen minutes. This was q mis-.
take. but" said Lawrence. as nv
clerk got it down fifteen thought
that was short enough"
When the Peacock surrendered
she was so riddled with bullets that
the captors found her sinking. The
Hornet was only slightly damaged
The British loss was heavy, but the
Americans lost more men trying TO
save the British sailors from drown
ing than they did in the actual bat
tie ln commenting on the battle a
Halifax paper OF the day said that
vessel moored for the purp1se of
experiment could not have been
sunk sooner. 1t will not do for our
vessels to fight theirs single banded.

Yankees. though 80 much abused,

After the battle Lawrence made
every exertion possible for the com
fort OF his wounded prisoners. Such
was their appreciation of his gener-
Gus treatment that on arrival 10 the
United States the British officers
published a letter OF gratitude.
They said: I'VE cannot better ex-

They Ever Grew.

Il
The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
| John Lewis Childs, the well-known
Scotsman of Floral Park, N. Y, has
proved great success all over the
country. Thousands of people say It
Is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs. the well-known
author. Naturalist and bosom-friend of
Theodore Roosevelt, says It Is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted,
and marvellous cropper.
A Director Of the New York Agricul-
tural Experiment Station says it fruits
abundantly even in pure sand. In the
short season Of Northwestern Canada
1t Is godsend. and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck.
d. s. Hall, Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew 1t there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
X. s. Enochs, Hammond, La, says
1t yields $3.50 worth of fruit per
acre with him. Mrs. ]. H. Powers,
1872 Kenwood avenue, Chicago. raised
enough berries on a space 4x10 feet
to supply herself and friends.

equal for all purposes does not exist.
Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove,
Cal, says he likes the berries served
In any and every way.
w. T. Davis, Enon, Va, says 1t is
true to description in every way, and
fruits In three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, of u. s. Circuit

delicious raw or cooked.
Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant I'VE
months old bearing 1875 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New

1t is certainly the most satisfactory

The misquotation, as 1t stood, was

the children should learn the truth
thus early in life.
Scott Fairfield, the new master of

today he had outdone himself. After
lengthy and painstaking explanation
of the word biography" he had

each one to write the biography of
some friend or relative; and it was
with many laborious sharpenings of
pencils and much rafting of paper
that the youthful writer's had begun
their task.
