I have heard men of great ability,
some of whom have had long per-
sonal acquaintance with George
Westinghouse, try to analyze MT.
Westinghouse's intellectual powers.
They have sought to expound what
to almost every one are the mystic
processes of intellect which have en-
abled Mr.. Westinghouse to gain,
while still living, fame which is sure
to be permanent Men of science are
convinced that Mr.. Westinghouse will
be numbered among the American
immortals.
But perhaps the best exposition of
Mr.. Westinghouse intellect and
achievements is one recently made
to me by Colonel Edward jay Allen,
of Pittsburg, himself man of great
scientific attachments and of expert
ence which goes back to the days
when the discovery of gold in Call
fornia changed the economic system
of the United States. Curiously
enough, Colonel Aliens eNposltio,n
was illustrated by a single example
that came within his own knowledge,
involving such a humble and simple
little thing as a rat trap. | quote with
substantial accuracy what Colonel
Allen said to me:
at received at my home in Pitts,
burg one day a very intelligent and
interesting man, who told me that he
had come to show me an invention
which he had just perfected. He
wanted to get my opinion as to Its
commercial practicability. He was
inclined to think that good sale
could be secured for it.
"Thereupon he produced rat trap
and asked me to study it. did SO
and then told him that While the IN
vention was very ingenious, never
theless L thought he had made a mis-
take in assuming that the rat is
very intelligent creature. I said that
while the rodent is presumed to be
very cunning. nevertheless I thought
that rat with intelligence enough
to be made the victim of that raj
trap had not yet appeared.
"The man looked disappointed, but
he frightened up when | told him
that there was one little device which
he had applied to his rat trap which
seemed to me to possess important

Queen Maud, wife of King Haakon
VII. of Norway, is forty-four years
old today; consequently there will be
festivities in Norway. In England,
too. the birthday will be remembered,
for Queen Maud is sister of the
King of England She was married
when she was twenty-seven to
Haakon. who is three years her
Junior. He was at this time simply a
son of the King of Denmark, and it
was not till he was elected to the
crown of Norway eight years ago
that Princess Maud became queen.
Queen Maud has one son, Alexan-
der Edward Christian Frederick,
known as Crown Prince Olaf. He is
little over ten years of age.
Eight years ago when the govern
ment of Norway formally rendered
the throne to Prince Haakon and
Princess Maud a deputation of mem

Cotton Waste.

From the Providence Journal.
According to a gloomy summing up
of a Texas cotton expert, the waste
in marketing the prospective crop OF
American cotton, say fourteen mil
lion males, will amount at least to
seventy million dollars. Every year,
he tells us, the equivalent for the en-
tire crop of a State like Alabama or
George is dissipated. 1.-THE bale,
which is only partly covered, is dam
aged by exposure, tolled by samplinG,
taxed for patching, discounted for
tare, depleted and battered at every
turn from the farm to the factory,
where it arrives ragged, filthy, UNI
slightly and deprecated, to proclaim
the carelessness and the poridigality
of the American people," But why?
This is an old story. Have not the
methods of handling American cot
ton been lamented from time i'm
memorial? This expert demands
some kind of remedial legislation,
State and federal. He appears to
think that more statistics from n
bureau would help. Cot
ton bailing, like morality. can be
made perfect by statute, it seems.
Meanwhile why not practise a little
more care and general efficiency all
along the line?

FOOD and Population.
From the New orleans PIcav,,ne

From the New Orleans Picayune.
century ago Thomas Robert NAL
thus, an English writer and theorist,
put forth the prediction that the pop
ulation of the modern world was in
creasing to rapidly that the time
would come when it would be impos
sible with the products of human labor
to feed its people.
Nobody today is scared at any such
prospect. nevertheless it seems nearer
at hand than is commonly supposed.
Already the United States, with an
area of three and half million square
miles of the richest farming land in
the world, is confessing to the difficult
ties of its food supply by importing
beef, corn, potatoes. eggs and other
food products from Canada, Argen-
tina and other countries. 1t is not
strange that the European countries
are forced to import food. for they are
overcrowded with population and their
lands have been cultivated for thou
sands of years. But that a vast new
country like ours, that can contain
five times it's present population and
should be able to support them, has to
import bread and meat for its popula-
ton, seems a shame.
A report read at the recent conven-
ton of American Meat Packers at
Chicago showed that in the last census
period of ten years the population of
the United States had increased 20 per
cent, while the number of beef cattle
had decreased 80 per cent.
So serious have become relative con-
ditions as to population and cattle
production that one prediction evoked
by them is that porterhouse steak. at
the present percentage of decrease in
the supply, will sell ten years hence at
81 a pound at retail. To the talk as to
relief from importatipns of cattle from
Argentina not much attention is seri-
ously paid, in view of the demand
upon that country from Europe. The
United States once exported large
quantities of beef to Europe, but now
it encourages the belief that the price
will rise above the reach of the
masses of it's own people.
There has not been such a falling off
in the bread supply, but it may be
looked for.
Mechanically expressed, the Nal
thus theory was that the population
tended to increase in geometrical ratio
and the means of subsistence in arith-
metical ratio; that is, the population
would increase in periods of 25 years
by l, 2, 4, 8, 16,setc., and the means of
by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. while
the accuracy of these ratios has been
disputed, it still remains"
says Professor Seligman, in the Prin-
ciples of Economics, "a question as to
whether population really tends to in
crease faster than food" The figures
quoted would seem to show that popu-
lation does increase materially faster
than one of the most important kinds
of food.

he was so bow-legged that two

He was really peculiar looking His
features had melted and run together
