Berlin.-The agricultural chamber
Of Rhine province has just published
some statistics which afford strik-

recently By q Socialist in the Reich
stag to the effect that potatoes are
the chief diet OF the poorer classes In
large sections Of Germany.
The agricultural chamber, which Is
a body legally constituted to gather
information for the government on
agricultural matters, has been study
ing how the peasantry lives. It pub
fishes the family budgets Of 80 peas
ant families with annual incomes
ranging between ST. and $500. About
two-thirds of them had the higher
figure and owned small farms OF from
10 to II acres.
II was found that the average daily
consumption of potatoes Of the 90 fam
lilies was nearly 31-3 pounds for each
person. whereas the consumption OF
meat was less than ounces; Of but.
ter 1.19 ounces and slightly more than
one pint of milh, Of which nearly half

SEES GROWTH OF LUNAcY
or. Forbes WinsTow Declares There
Will Be More insane Than Sane
In 800 Years.

London.-There will be more luna
tics in the world than sane people
three hundred years hence. was the
prophecy DR.. Forbes Winslow made.
This prophecy is based upon the pres;
ent rate Of the growth of lunacy as
revealed by recent returns.
Doctor Winslow expressed strong
disagreement with the statement
made at the Eugenics congress by
Doctor Mott to the effect that increase
in funecy was more apparent than.
real, and told q press representative
that In making such statement Doc
tor Mott apparently referred to Lon
don only. DR.. Forbes Winslow SAID
that from his knowledge Of the prog
ress of lunacy in all parts OF the
world he had come to the conclusion
that I'VE are rapidly approaching
mad world" He added: In every
part Of the world civilization is ad-
cancing, and so insanity Is also bound
10 advance. There were 96,762 regis
tered lunatics in 1859, but $4,000 at
the present day. That showed the
alarming increase"
If Doctor Motifs theory is accepted.
we shall wake up when It Is too late
10 prevent g further increase. What
happened to the pauper class IN Lon
don. as an alleged proof against the
real increase Of lunacy, was very
much beside the question. taken as
whole. Fifty years ago there was one
lunatic in 575 Of the population. but
now one in 236. At that rate of prog
ress. be said. in three hundred years
time there would be more lunatics IN
the world than sane people.

teenth annual report on fisheries, is-
sued by the board of agriculture and
fisheries
1t Is unquestionable, says the report,
that In the case of slow-growing and
slow-reproducing animal like the
whale, although, owing to its wide
range, It will probably never be abso-
lutely exterminted, excessive hunting
speedily results in very marked de-
pietion Of the stock
The practical extinction Of tie
Basque and Greenland whale fisheries
has abundantly proved this. 1t must
be remembered. too. that this result
was brought about by means of the
open and hand harpoon-methods
which are now obsolete.
The Greenland whale was q com.
paratively sluggish and timid animal,
whose capture by the method referred
to presented little difficulty. whereas
the rorquals and other species were
not only too swift. but too dangerous
to be attacked in the same manner as
the right" whale.

Sparrows AnnihiIate Worm Army on Navy Green

the warlike precision with which the
sparrows moved
It was estimated by onlookers that
neither column of sparrows was over
three feet wide. They worked in sold
block formation and moved rapidly On
the corps Of army worms. which was
solidly intrenched behind breastwor:s
Of grass.
Owing to their intrenched position.
it was impossible for onlookers to es-
innate the strength of the worms. but
it was generally conceded that the at
lacking battalion of sparrows was 900
strong.
Like Henry Of Navarro at lvry, the
Commander" Of the worms held his
forces close to the cannon Of the
invading sparrows. but without avail,
for the charge of the five hundred
proved devastating to the intrenched
worms.
The battle" continued throughout
the day, and at night not a sparrow
was reported dead on the field, whils
hundreds of the enemy had been
slain.
