MAN AND THE WORLD.

A Very Small Graveyard Would Hold

How little mankind signifies in the

morose calculation Of the Italian Pro-
fessor Zuccarini. who has figured out.
among other things. that estima ting

the whole human race at prese1t living
could stand comfortably shoulder to
shoulder in an area OF 500 square
miles.
Taking the number Of generations In
the past 5000 years as 200, the room
taken up by them all on the above
plan would only be half the size Of
Germany. or for the sake Of COM
parison less than the area Of the state
Of Colorado. To bury all the people
on earth would need a graveyard little
larger than thar area
If the dust left by each body be
estimated at one tenth cubic yard,
which is a liberal estimate. IT would
cover only forty square miles to a
depth of about three feet This Ger

MOZART MUSIC.

Plymouth ought to be proud of
her musical talent. She has produc-
ed. some notable singers and musical
instructors which would do honor to
a city five times the size of this.
and wuld make themselves known
In any metropolis of the land.
Within the past five or six years
quite a number of our singers and
musicians have won fame in many
cities and a number Of others of
local note are sure also to make for
themselves names reaching beyond
the county and state if indeed some
of them have not already done so.
They have natural ability and are
receiving training which is sure to
produce the best results.
For this distinguished position In
the musical world Plymouth should
chiefly thank the Mozart Club.
Ever since its organization in 1893
It's membership has promoted that
love OF the best music, and the des-
ire to sing the best music, which. has
resulted In so many of the young
ladies Of this city devoting them
selves to the art Of expression in
song. Without the wrk of this
club, constantly directed to produce
the best singing of the best music,
it is altogether probable that far
fewer persons in this city would
today be giving attention to music.
The general public always enjoys
the solos, the duets or quartets Of
these singers on public occasions,
but we doubt if it gives a thought
to the work on the part Of the sing
ara and others which it necessarily
takes to produce such results.
The Mozart Club has made the
musical atmosphere in which these
musicians can grow; it has stimu-
lated every effort on their part; it
has always encouraged and directly
helped those who were spending
time and money in an effort to edu-
cate themselves in music, whether
vocal or instrumental. Without its
helm. there is not a doubt that the
city would have had far Fewer sing
ers if ability, possibly none OF note
and the life of the general public
vould have lost very much of that
inspiration and uplift which comes
from the sweet influence OF song.
