ftIE COUNTRY EBIT0R's REVENGE

In the February American Mag
azine, George Fitch the Peoria
funny-man, writes another piece
about Homeburg, in his series
describing life in a small town. Ih In
month-his article is entitled The
Homeburg Weekly Democrat
and is filled with amusing comments
on the life and adventures OF the
newspaper editor. Mr.. Fitch says
that he never saw the: editor OF the
"Homeburg Weekly Democrat"
resent a joke but once. He goes on
as follows, to describe that occ aslon
and to show how the editor got
even with his subscriber:
That was when Petty Amthorne
told him that his wife considered the
Democrat to be the best paper she
had ever seen. He let Ayers burst a
couple of buttons from his vestln his
swelling pride before he explained
that the Democrat when cut IN
two exactly fitted his wife's pantry
shelves, and that she didt't have
to trim it a bit. The old man turned
on his heel without word and that
week he kindled his old-time fires
md wrote the f-llowing for the
local page.
ga citizen of Homeburg who
hasn't done anything more exciting
for twenty years than off his grocery
bill poked fun at the Democrat
last week to our face because there
wasn't any more news in it. News?
Say we, News it Homeburg? News
in a town where an ice cream social
is asensation and a dog fight susp'
ends business for three hours? News
in a town where it takes couple
five years to work up a wedding
and seven kinds of wedding cake is
the only news in it? Where the city
marshal hasn't made an arrest fol
two years because no one has done
anything after nine P. M. except
snore, and where they have to put
up the lamps in pairs to keep them
from getti rg lonesome? We don't
D int news from Homeburg because
there isn't any, and the old rooster
who ioshed us knows it. He's sure
because we can make half a column
out of his trip to Paynesville eight
miles away last summer, but well
promise to do better. Well dump
the paste pot in the fire; throw the
old shears out of the window anc
get out a regular streamer of
Democrat" some week; a paper
with red ink on it and big headlines
and a real piece of news in it. We
will when this gabby old fossil does
his part. When he pays his six years
subscription we'll write two columns
about it. And even then no ONT
will believe it. ,"

ttTF an electric fan could be
made large enough to
throw a sufficient amount
of wind to move a small sailboat,
and such a fan was placed on the
end of a boat with the wind from
the fan blowing against the sail
on the very boat the fan is on, Is
it possible that it could move the
boat? The argument is that the
fan, being on the same boat as
the sail, can not move itself. But
as the air detaches itself from
the fan and hits the sail, my idea
is that 1t can, provided it has the
strength to move the boat. Please
give an answer"
This question is worth answer
ing, for two reasons: First, be-
cause It is a woman who asks 1t;
and second, because it involves
principle of physics that ought to
be universally understood. and
ignorance of which may lead to
the waste of both time and money
upon inventions that will not
work.
The writer of the question
thinks that because the air, as she
expresses it, is detached from"
the fan when it starts off to
strike the sail, it ought to act like
an ordinary wind and push the
boat before it. But she would
not think so if she reflected that
the particles of air driven from
the fan resemble a swarm Of bull
let's shot from gun.

most of the paraphernalia of in
dustrial robbery and exploitation.
But in the Hoang-Ho Valley of
China, and especially in such fer
tile areas as the Chengtu plain,
where from three to four thou
sand people live on each square
mile. the law of the pressure of
population on subsistence caused
by redundancy of population is
in stark, plain, full operation.
The long strife with nature
for subsistence had stripped off
even the parasite from the shoul-
ders of these sober, honest and
thrifty men. There Is no surplus
on which the nom worker can
live. Farming is so perfect that
even the greatest agricultural ex-
pert of our time. the late f. H.
King, could see no way in which
our science can materially help
them. Our best agricultural
practice seems barbarous COM
pared with theirs. If good farm
ing. good soil, feverish and unre-
hitting industry. practical free
dom from taxes, could keep them
from poverty, these people would
not be poor. Yet they are so poor
that eight out of ten of their chill
dren die in infancy. The land
can not support the increase.
The urge to multiply bears
man on to the same goal. ap-
parently, as the sparrow and the
worm, to the exhaustion of sub
sistence. DR.. w. j. MCGEE has
made calculations that in 900
years the United States will have
acquired a population of a billion
and reached the limit. The limit
means the dread conditions like

TERBERT DUCKS brilliant
n book. "On Board the Good
Ship Earth" just issued by
the Bobbs- Merrill Company, of
indianapolis, surveys humanity in
the large. This commentary on
Oriental overcrowding has a
warning for our continent. Mr..
Quick says:
THE poverty of the masses in
the Orient is full of awful inter
est to us-of awful warning and
of a sort of fearful hope, 1t
shows us the dread condition
which comes from overpopulation
which is a matter for fear.
Those who say that such pow
erty as we Caucasians now suf-
fer from is in no manner caused
by overpopulation are right. We
have in these United States still
more than twenty acres for the
sustenance OF every person. In
Japan there is but third OF an
acre. Some japanese, however,
are supported by trade and man
ufactures and draw their support
from other acres than those OF
Japan.
But in the Shantung province
OF China. DR.. King found lands
supporting 3,S40 people OF
strictly rural population TO the
square mile. or 240 to 40-acre
farm. The island OF Chungming,
with go square miles, has 300
people to the square mile, and
only one large city any part of
whose people could draw susie
nance from outside the island 1t
is safe to say, therefore. that un-
til our population doubles once or
twice such poverty as we have
must be laid to other doors than
that of the increase of popula-
ton.

collective governmental energy
bring into use lands which the
very agony of individual struggle
for existence has not been able to
utilize, and thus allow an in
crease of population to hundred
millions.
But no discovery of science
can, so far as can be seen, take
from the soil what is not in it. nor
enable agriculture to make food
of anything but plants fed from
the plant food in the soil. SO
that poverty is sure to recur if
the present birth rate of these
nations keeps up. They are not
made poor by their oppressors,
but by their birth rate.

some show of denial of THIS as

Air Particles Get Their
Force From the
Fan.

The air particles get their force
from the fan as the bullets get
theirs from the gun, and just as
the gun recoils with a force equal
to that which it imparts to the
bullets, so the fan, whether driv-
en- by electricity or steam or
turned by hand, inevitably recoils
with the same amount of force
that it imparts to the air.
To make clearer the compari-
son between a stream of bullets
from a gun and a stream of wind
from an electric fan, imagine a
Maxim gun placed at the rear of
boat and an impenetra BILE target
at the front, and then suppose
that the gun should hurl a con-
tinuous current of bullets against
the target. Anybody can see that
the boat would not be driven for
ward, because the recoil of the
gun would constantly force it
backward with the same energy
with which the bullets, striking
the target, forced it ahead.
But if the gun were placed on
shore or on another support it's
stream of bullets, striking the tar
get, would drive the boat forward,
because then their effect would be
like that of wind blowing freely
across the water and having no
connection with anything on the
boat.
An ordinary wind is able to
drive boat whose sail it strikes
because its reaction Chat of the
wind) is not upon the boat, but

Only Real Difficulty Is
To See That Principle
Remains.

The only real difficulty is to
see that the principle remains the
same when the force is trans
mitted by some intermediate me-
dunn, such as the air, but this
ought to be made clear by the
illustration which l have sug
gested Of stream of bullets TAX
ing the place of the wind created
by a fan.
There is one effect of the cleo
trio fan which might surprise you
it would tend to drive your boat
backward instead of forward. 1t
would push against air like the
propeller of an aeroplane, and to
make it drive your boat forward
you would have to face the fan
around. so that it's reaction would
be upon the atmosphere behind
instead of ahead of the boat, ana
in either case your sail would be
not only useless but an encum-
brance.

Emilio CASTELAR,, a
Republic Builder
BY REV. r. B. GREGORY.

tn HE fall of the Spanish Re
public 40 years ago mark
ed the close Of the political
career of Emilio CASTELAR,, the
greatest man that Spain has pro-
duced since Cervantes.
Born at old Cadiz in 1882.
CASTELAR,. by the sheer force OF
genius, worked his way up to the
very summit of popularity among
the Spanish Progressives, and,
joining the revolutionists in 1868.
did heroic service in the cause of
the liberty to which he was so
ardently devoted. The revolu-
tionists condemned him to death.
but he escaped to France.
Upon the abdication> Of King
Amadeo, in 1878, CASTELAR, became
Minister of Foreign Affairs. and
later on President of the repub-
lie. The new constitution, pro-
claimed July. 1873, was largely
the work of CASTELAR,. 1t provided
for the complete separation OF
church and state, absolute free
dom of religion, the abolition of
the nobility, universal suffrage
= and equality of taxation.
The republic lasted only eleven
months, from the 18th of Febru-
airy, 1878, TO January 4, 1874. The
membership of the Senate and
Congress was largely monarchical
in sentiment, and il was the
magical eloquence of CASTELAR,,
and that alone, that kept the re-
public alive for the few months
of its checkered existence.
