Although the granite manufacturing
business is taking on its usual holiday
depression, there is nevertheless a feel
ing of optimism that the opening
months of the new year will find re-
sumption of full activity in all the
granite centers of the eastern states,
with Barre, naturally, taking first place.
That feeling of optimism is shown by
one Concord, N. H., and Westerly, R.
l., firm at least, for the New England
Granite Works company is planning to
erect some large cutting sheds at Con-
cord just as soon as the spring weather
will premit the work to be done. The
Barre granite industry is just about as
busy now as it usually is at this time of
the year, not so many men being en-
ployed as during the late summer
months, but the number comparing
well with previous seasons. Most of
the manufacturers look for a busy
spring. Barre Times.

purpose. 1t has been harnessed to a
certain extent, but it is still in it's in
fancy so far as its use is concerned.
Hardly day PASSES but what some new
use is found for electricity. One of the
new uses to which it has been put is
the curing of meat. 1t is said that one
shock will kill the animal germs, and
meat will thereafter keep almost an I'M

Population Of The Earth

The population of the known earth Mt
the death OF the Roman emperor
Augustus. abnut the time of the com
menceincnt of the Christian era, was
estimated by Bodia, an Italian statis

knew nothing of Asia beyond the Indus
river and nothing of Africa save the
Mediterranean states. But the human
race IN early times was engaged in
constant warfare, and it is recorded
that the temple of Janus. which could
only be closed when Rome was at peace,
was shut mt the time of the birth of

ton of the earth decimated by incessant
wars, it was devastated by terrible
epiiemics of disease which swept over
every country, SO that in 1892, at the
time of the discovery of America by
Columbus, the population of Europe
was placed at 40. 100000. Today Europe

Wonders ofPOrtO Rico

The editor OF the Atchison (Kansas)
Globe has visited Porto Rico, and this
is what he says about some of it's won

l talked with Wise Dnsin man today
who came to the island six years ago
and engaged in pineapple growing. He
says pineapples begin to pay the sec

come from ten acres is 800 per acre.
The Wisconsin man is boomer, and
certainly he did not underestimate the
returns from pineapple growing.
Twas told that sugar cane growing
pays net profit of $50 an acre, and
probably You should reduce that esti-
mate n little too. The grower of pine
apples told me that he had paid SEQ an
acre for his land six years ago. Now
wild land in the vicinity is worth $50
an acre. When the land is in pine
apples and producing, it is said to be
worth $3.50 an acre. Grapefruit pays
about as we'll as pineapples and oranges
are also profitable.

military road from San Juan to Ponce,

Theodore Roosevelt admired it. Most
points of the island are reached by rail
road. and extensions are being built.
The highlands grow coffee, even to
the hilltops, the boomers say-and the
valleys produce other crops. Cocoa
nuts grow eyerywhe on tho island,
and it is estimated that cocoanut tree
will pay profit of 81 per year, without

now planted to sugar cane in Porto
