MAN AND THE WORLD.
A Very Small Graveyard Would Hold
the Whole Human Family.

How little mankind signifies in the
scheme OF nature is shown by rather
morose calculation OF the Italian Pro
fessor Zuccarini. who has figured out,
among other things. that estimating
the worlds population as l.5oO.OooUo
the whole human race at present living
could stand comfortably shoulder to
shoulder In an area OF 500 square
miles.
Taking the number OF generations In
the past G.O0O 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 that area.
IL the dust left by each body be
estimated at one-tenth cubic yard
which is a liberal estimate. II would
cover only forty square miles 10 a
depth of about three feet. This Ger
tainly seems insignificant compared
with the great coral reefs and other
immense deposits built up by the shells
of tiny ihfusoria.-New York Sun.

Position Of tho Defence.

The first witness called by the de-
Tense vas Fred l.. Hewins Of East
Winthrop. who had been in the lum-
| Der business and ran the first porta-
| BILE mill in kennebec county. Witness
said there Was no cord wood on the
Lancaster place worth cutting except
| a little near the Readfield line. There
were about 40 cords of wood to the
| acre near the pipe line. The right OF
way was simply a track into Garlic
ton pond. The only wood there is sap
| ling pine. He fixed the value of the
wood along the shore five years ago at
| less than $50.
Witness did not think there was any
damage by the taking OF the pipe line.
aside from the wood that vas taken
| ii Mrs. Lancaster still had a right to
travel over it. There is a great deal
better market for wood at Winthrop
than at Readtield Depot. A good wood
road exists leading to Winthrop vii
lage, making S1amile haul. y Win
ter road existed by going across lots
to StaneY's and afforded another way
OF exit Witness stated that he once
looked the farm over with the intention
Of buying il. but Mr.. Lancaster did
not wish II sell.
Commissioner Haley-What was the
farm worth to YOU in 1885?
Mr.. Hewins-i though it was worth
about $4,000.
Witness though that the farm was
worth about the same now, taking the
increased value of the lumber into
consideration
Witness declared that whatever
value the farm had was largely from
a wood standpoint and that if the
wood was cut OFF ii would be waste
land"
Witness upon cross examination by
Judge Maher denied having done any
work for the Augusta Water District
except sowing grass seed for few
days Witness said that four weeks
ago there wasn't drop of water in
the spring in the roadway, mention
OF which had been made by other wit
nesSes. There We're other springs on
the Lancaster property. Witness
stated that between $500 and $500 was
a liberal estimate for the property
taken by the Water District.

testified that there was about so cords

w. .. Hutchins, an Augusta real es-
tate dealer, gave the following es,l
mate Of the damage to the I.ancaster.l
property by the several takings: Road

cord, $1,000; damage TO lumber, 81 per
thousand. 600; building roadway TAX
on, $ln0; building new roadway for "a
acre lot, $50; total. $3715
The witness gave in detail his rea-
sons for fixing the valuation Of the Va
rious items given in his schedule. a
fair cash value for the farm before
the taking was $500. The value of il
afterwards would depend largely upon
the purchaser and what market he
could secure for his wood and lum-
Der. He thought S3715 would fairly rep
resent the difference in value the DAY
after the taking of the land by the
Augusta Water District Witness
thought the fact that part of the farm
had been taken by eminent domain
would injure the sale of the rest of the
property. Witness was sharply cross
examined in regard to the details Of
damage by Attorney Andrews
Alderman James w. Beck, engaged
in the insurance business, testified
that he went over the Lancaster prop
ertY about six weeks ago in company
with Mr.. Hutekins. Mr.. Beck estimated
the damage 10 the shore property ex-
elusive If timber that might be on it
a. the rate OF 81 cents per foot Ia %
lets. or s1i3s.90. the damage 10 the
rest of the farm by cutting off the
lake shore lie estimated at $1,000. The
total damage 10 the two acres taken
for pipe line he figured at s150. the
right Of way he estimated at about
the same amount; the construction on
the right of way he figured at $50 and
his total estimate for the entire dam
age To the farm was $2S3S.g0. Attorney
Andrews asked witness II he thought
he could promote the sale of over 30
cottage lots OH the shore of Carleton
pond II haven't been asked to" was
the reply. Witness also stated in re-
Spouse az inquiry by Attorney VIII
Hanson that the shore property was
also of value as secluded spot for n
single cottage and that he had received
numerous calls for such location.
