there are nearly TWO thousand
million acres of land. If there was enough
water, this area could support two thousand
million people. But there is water for only
half of these, and therefore one thousand
million people are the theoretical limit of
population for this country.
The water used for farming purposes pro-
duces, if properly utilized, one thousandth
of its weight in plant tissue. This is an
average for all kinds of vegetable growths,
from timber to grain. To produce a grain
of wheat requires four thousand times its
weight of water. The more highly differ
entiated-i. e., specialized in form of func-
tion-plant products are, the greater the
amount of water required to make them.
Thus the production of nut probably de-
mands the use of five thousand times its
weight in water, while that of forage plant,
such as alfalfa, may not require more than
one-tenth as much.
Boiled down, the conclusion reached is
that water is the element upon which We di-
rectly and indirectly, really subsist.
We are, in an important and substantial
sense, aqua &C animals. Even in physio-
logical way this is true, inasmuch as all living
cells of our bodies are literally aaoat in
water. The body of a man weighing one
hundred and fifty-four pounds contains nine
ty-six pounds, or forty-eight quarts, of wa
ter. The bones are nearly one-fourth water,
the nerves more than one-half water, and
the skin nearly three-fourths water; the
brain, muscles, lungs, and heart are three
fourths water; and the blood is more than
four-fifths water. Thus it appears that
water is the main constituent of the human
body.
The total water supply of the United
States GALL of it derived from rain and SNOWY
averages six million million tons per annum.
1t would just about fill reservoir fourteen
miles long, fourteen miles wide, and fourteen
miles deep. There is no possible way to add
to this supply. 1t sets limit to the growth
of population which can never be over
passed, because each individual inhabitant
rec res for his or her support six thousand
tons of water annually, and cannot get along
with less.

SAVED BY A SNUFF BOX

nERHAPS no mans life was ever saved to
i him by a more curious circumstance
than that attending the experience of a Cap
tain of the Bengal Lancers. He had been on
a visit to a civilian friend in Rajputana, and
went out for a walk in the country about
sunset.
After going four or five miles he found
himself in a narrow path on the side of a
steep hill. The path was mere ledge in the
rock, with deep chasm on one side and
wall of solid rock on the other. 1t was not
pleasant place in which to come face to face
with big tiger; but that was just what hap
pened to the Captain.
1t was too late to withdraw; so he deter
mined to brave it out. The animal had evil
IDENTIFY been asleep; for it continued for a
few moments to lick itself into full wakeful-
ness. The Captain stood still, with his eyes
fixed on the beast. Presently the tiger took
a few steps forward and made dash at him.
Luckily its teeth seized him by the flap of
his coat, Just over the breast, so that he was
not hurt by the blow.
Then the Captain had a chance to appreci-
ate the feelings of mouse when it is shaken
by cat. The tiger shook him till his senses
left him. Perhaps it was as well they did
leave him; for the beast held him over the
deep chasm, and fall would have been as
fatal as the animals onslaught.
When the Captain recovered conscious
ness, few minutes later he found himself
lying fat on his back, with his feet dangling
over the precipce. He opened his eyes, only
to see the sky above him. He dared not
move; for the tiger might be close at his ell
bow: So he shut his eyes and remained mo-
tionless.
Then he thought he heard a strange noise
at a little distance, a sound as of somebody
sneezing. His first thought was that some
one had come to the rescue and beaten the
tiger off; but this was proved to be wrong by
low, disagreeabe, tigerish growls mingled
with the sneezing.
He turned slowly He could hardly be-
lieve his eyes. There was the tiger sinking
off with his tail between his legs and sneezing
violently as he went, his face distorted by
most piteous grimaces.
The truth then dawned upon the soldier.
In shaking him the tiger had caused his
snuffbox to fly open out of his waistcoat
pocket, and had received the contents full
in the face.

By Rene Bache

HOW much water do you By Rer
l. consume in year? Prob
ably you would reckon it off
hand at a few hundred quarts, just making
a guess. The fact is, however, that, leav-
ing ablution out of the question, you require
for your individual support not less than SIX
thousand tons of water in the course OF
twelvemonth.
You drink, in year, about one ton of
water; but this is only small fraction OF
what you really use for the mere support OF
your body machine.
In the course of twelvemonth you eat
the equivalent of two hundred pounds of
bread and two hundred pounds of meat; that
is to say, four hundred pounds of food. This
is merely rough way of expressing the divi-
sion of the ration into vegetable and animal
portions. But the bread and the meat must
themselves be produced directly or indirectly
from the soil, and this can be accomplished
only by large expenditure of water.
Plants will not grow without water. To
produce the grain necessary for making two
hundred pounds of bread ? east four hum
dred tons of water are required. Thus we
begin to get notion of the really enormous
indirect consumption of water by the indi-
vidual human being. He cannot get along
without it. If man or a woman was re-
duced to an allowance of, say, one thousand
tons of water year, he would soon die.

HOWLAND'S FORGE HAD JOLLY TIME
Annual Outing to Savin Rock Was Voted fBest
 Ever"

The annual Summer outing of the Rowland Dry Goods Co. force which is an event looked forward to with considerable expectation by the ern- pIoyeS of that concern, was held last evening at Savin Rock. The young ladies and men boarded special cars at the Post office at 6:15 p. m. about POO strong. The cars made quick time to the Rock, getting there without stop or mishap. On arriving at the popular resort a shore dinner was served, and to which the hungry workers did full justice. The many attractions at the Rock were next in order, the amusement managers say ing they never before met up with such a rush. This hilarity was kept up for the full evening, after which cars homeward bound were boarded, the advent to this city being made at midnight.
 It was quite surprising to see the full force on hand this morning, all with smiling faces and of the unani- nous opinion that the outing was the most successful and enjoyable from every standpoint they ever attended. The committee that arranged the event and carried it to the success it was follows: Herbert L.. Doolittle, Ed ward c. Adkins, Miss Lillian Mellor, Miss Lena Anderson and Miss Mary Hoadley.

GOV. HUGHES ON DEMOCRACY AT
 HARVARD MEET
Especial from United Press. )

Especial from United Press.)
 Boston, June 30.-Taking advan- tage of special arrangements admit ting the public. a great crowd throng- ed Sanders Theatre in Harvard to- day and heard with frequent out bursts of applause an address by Governor Hughes of New York on Some Aspects of Our Democracy"
 The opening event of Phi Beta Kappa day was a meeting in Harvard Hall. Then the Sanders Theatre meeting, presided over by Frederick T. Fish, began. An original poem by Professor Henry Van Dyke of Prince ton was read and then after a hearty round of cheers Governor Hughes fronted his audience. He said:
 While exposure of gross corrup- ton is unfailingly denounced, it is lamentably true that we do not have the measure of courage and unre- lenting resistance to corrupt inf1u- ences which we have a right to ex- pect from our citizens. The man who will corrupt the public officials if he believes himself secure from discovery, in order to protect his bus mess or to get what he wants or perhaps thinks he should have, is none too rare.
 "As an instance, opportunity is per- verted to base uses when lawyers be- come legislators to write statutes un- der retainers, or to employ their ac- tivities in poisoning the springs of government"
