Population in Terms of Water.

According to W. ]. MCGEE, the pos
sible population of our country ought
to be measured, not according to the
amount of land we possess, but, ac-
cOrding to the amount of water-in
other words, according to the amount
Of rainfall. By his estimate, the coun-
try can comfortably support one per-
son to five acre-feet Of water Zone foot
of water spread over five acres sur
face). Now the annual rainfall of
mainland United States-the sole or
iginal sourc of our fresh waters is
barely 5000, 100000 acre-feet; it av-
erages hardly two and one-half feet
(thirty inches) over our 1000 100000
acres. So our greatest possible popu-
latiOn, measured by our highest stand
ards of primary production, would not
exceed 1000, 000,0 00-a number which
at the current rate of increase will be
reached in three centuries, or when
the span since the landing at James
town is doubled.-World's Work.

Box Was Fastened,

Lieutenant John Corrigan had the
sidewalk on the Washington street
side of D. Sommers & Co.'S store roped
off Sunday, because he feared the
wind would blow a big, heavy box off
a scaffold that had been left by paint
ers Saturday evening, three stories
up the side of the structure. The
box, evidently tool chest, was more
than half way over the edge OF the
scaffold, and the lieutenant thanked
fortune he had seen it before the wind
got a free sweep and sent it over He
put up ropes to keep pedestrians from
under and ran for a telephone. Nav

uses of The sunflnmer

There are more than forty different
species of sunfower scattered from
New England to the Gulf of Mexico
and from ocean to ocean. Generally
the plant is not esteemed, but it has
many valuable uses. Many of our In
dams make bread of the seeds 1t

being used as food for cattle and poui-

facture of soap. Meal and bread are
said, to be got from the seeds in Por

substituted for coffee. The seeds are
also used. like almonds, for making
soothing emulsions, and in some parts
of the old world are boiled and fed to
infants. The leaves are good fodder
for cattle; the stems serve for fuel
and contain much potash.-Harper's

Killed Innocent Men.

A tragic mistake occurred in Paris,
France, early the other morning. A
workman and his wife had been to
the theater, and were fastening to
get the last motor-omnibus home to
Arcueil, when they brushed against
some young men and angry words
were exchanged When the man and
his wife got down the four young men
also left the omnibus and walked aft
er the couple down the Avenue dor
leans. The workman jumped to the
conclusion that they were apaches
who intended to attack him. Telling
his wife to hurry on he turned and
fired a couple of shots at the group
behind. At dawn when he went to
inform the police he was dumfound-
ed to find that he had shot at four in
nocent and respectable young men,
killing one and mortally wounding an
other. He was Immediately arrested

Sleep.

Investigation by scientists of the
nature Of the sleep OF persons in nor
NAL health shows that it varies &C
cording to the daily diet and the diff
ferent hours at which sleep is begun.
Altogether, the ideal hour for retiring
is ten o'clock. The sleep Of a person
going to bed regularly at approximate
ly this time gradually augments in in
tensity for the space of an hour. 1t
then suddenly becomes very profound,
reaching it's maximum intensity at
about eleven-thirty o'clock. Within
five or six minutes from this time 1t
has been found that the sleep begins
to be less deep. In an hour the sleep
er is again in the same condition OF
slumber as at about a quarter after
eleven. From that time until after
two o'clock the rest is steady and
light; from two until four it aug
ments and then it consistently d.
minishes until it ceases at the Gus

was visiting in Rome in the Eight
zenith century he was sitting one eve
ming in a church that had once been
an ancient temple. Some barefooted
friars were singing vespers. Sudden

flashed through his mind the idea of
telling the story of how the tremen-
dous temples and palaces of Rome fell
into decay. The result was The De
