larger than that produced by the primary blast
This shows that there is some kind OF cloud
about the object of different density from the sur

The logical conclusions drawn are: the OBJECT Is
of great size; it is stationary and 1t has something
about it that modifies the echo consequently 'ne

dlery Company has received several
kilograms requesting bid on part of
a contract for 10000 sets of artillery
harness for the warning nations of
Europe. to be delivered in thirty, six
ty and ninety days. AS each set Of

and that the increase in the produc-
ton Of cereals is not keeping pace
With the increase in population.
II was In 1898 that Sir William
Crooke sounded the FIRST note Of alarm
as to the possibility Of nourishing the
prospective millions Of America and
Europe In the coming years. He
based his calculations chiefly on the
limited area Of land suitable for profit.

Crooke's prophetic prediction looms
on the horizon Of the country with
startling distinctness. He estimated
that the bread eaters in the world in
1898 numbered 516,00O.0OO and that
they were increasing at the rate OF
100000 annually. Taking the maxi.
mum number Of acres possible in the
world for the growth Of wheat, the
per capita consumption, the average
yield per acre Of wheat, and the prob
able increase in the population, he
figured that the world would 60 hun.

Phantom Hounds.

Conan Doyle's Hound of the Bas-
kervilles," "fearsome animal" Is said
to have its origin in the legends of
packs of spectral hounds which are
popular in various parts of England
and Wales. In the north of England
these apparitions are known as "Ga-
briefs hounds in Devon the "Wisk,"
"Yest'' or Heath hounds in Wales
"Cron Annwn" or Gown Wybir" and
in Cornwall the Devils Dandy dogs"
They are supposed to be evil spirits
hunting the souls Of the dead. Gener-
ally they are only heard and seem to
be passing swiftly along in the air, as
they usually choose cloudy nights for
the pursuit Of their prey. Their yelp-
ing is said to be terrific, resembling
the note Of a bloodhound. All of which
tends to show that the origin Of these
legends Of goblin hounds is to be found
in the terrifying noises made by focks
Of wild geese.

English from private tutor, has so
far advanced that his teacher recently
introduced him to the beauties and

times until he had the ideas firmly
fixed in his mind and then, closing the
book, to put these ideas into his own
English, following as closely as his
memory permitted the authors text.
He had read over soliloquy of 9th

pretty fair approximation to the poets

Value of the Echo.

In one region not far from Detroit
there is an echo which makes loud
tones heard so clearly that persons liv-

where the echo works have learned to
subdue their voices so that the echo
may not be aroused-and so that not
every one within quarter mile may
hear all they may say. This makes
for quietness and peace in the neigh
