Ganeval as showing that the world is not yet over crowded. Allowing five acres to each In habitant he finds that Europe has room for an additional population of 115,000,030, Af rica for t,33,cxi,ooo, Asia for i,o;,ooo, 003, Oceanica for 515,000,000, and Amer ica for 3,009,003,000. The fron regions of Asia and Europe are deducted from the available space, but Arctic America Is somewhat hastily assumed to be fit for cul" tivatlon, A remarkable instance of the Increase of temperature in the earlh towards the cen tre has been presented at Pesth, where the deepest artesian well in the world is that now being bored for the purpose of supply in the public baths and other establish merits with hot water. A depth of 8140 feet has already been reached, and it fur nishes 176,000 gallons daily at a tempera ture of 1580 F. The municipality have re cently voted a large subvention in order that one borirg may be continued to a greater depth, not only to obtain a larger volume of water, but at a temperature of 179 F. The latest and strangest case of the uses of applied science recently occurred near Perijeux, France, where five persons were Imprisoned by the caving in of a quarry wall, and there weie no means at hand to rescue them. To find out where they were, a shaft twelve inches in diameter was bored, down which was slid a tube, near the end of which was a small camera sur rounded by a battery of electric lights. With this apparatus a number of negatives were taken, and the effect of the disaster shown, even to the faces of the two corpses It was thus known that the men were dead, and that effort to succor them would be useless. Dr. Ernst Welssenbacher, professor of geology at Heidelberg University, Ger many, tells .an alarming tale of impending disaster to the town of Findlay, Ohio. He has been making a scientific investigation of the natural gas wells which underlie the town, and finds that at a depth of about 1200 feet there is an enormous cavern filled with highly inflammable gas under tremendous pressure. Eelow this are sev eral strata of rocks, perhaps a mile in thick ness, and beneath the rocks is a fire raging at a temperature of nearly 35000 F. From the tremendous crackling, which the learned professor distinctly heard by the help of a delecate sound instrument, he judges that disintegration is going on with great rapidky, and regards an early catas trophe as not only possible but probable. The French are ahead of us in the use of steam power for locomotion on the high way. An exchange says that In the south of France the government postal services is supplemented by the "wagon post" of private contractors, who employ many hundred horses in conveying small parcels from town totown, even along the railway lines. This business has become so exten. sive that several road locomotives have been ordered for it, ar.d are proving very satis factory. Two of these machines are run ning between towns 70 miles apart eacht making the trip one way nightly ata speed of eight miles an hour. Paitof the road very hilly, with long gradients up to a much as 1 in 1 1. The locomotlve.with coa and water, weighs 15 tons, ar.d the loaded wagon from 7 to 10 tons, making the aver age weight of the train 23 tons. At 175 pounds pressure, the engines give about twelve-horse power, and with fair roads use about half a ton of fuel for the round trip of 140 miles. These engines haye been running over six months without interruption. Never wash a horse with cold water when he is heated. Feed your horses three times dally, bul never over-feed, Water before feeding, but not while the horse Is hot from work. Use the whip very iittle.and never when the animal slih-s or stumbles. Ne- cr leave a horse standing unhitched. It Is the way to make them runawavs. Do not storm and fret. He quiet and kind, and the horse will be so too, In most cases. (iive the horse a large stall and a good bed at night. It Is important that he lie down to rest. Do you expect your horse to be equally good at everything. The horse, like the man, most be adapted to his work. Near the close of a journey let the horse walk. If covered with swea. rub off with a rag, to prevent too sudden cooling. Collargalls and bruises are benefitted by washing with salt water. Wash shoulders daily when using the horse. Bilne is good for stiff joints. Experts claim seasickness can be regu lated by a system of breathing. One must sit still and breathe regularly and freely according to a fixed plan: Time your breathing to the upward and downward motion of the boat. As the boat falls there should be a full expiration, and as the boat begins to rise ' art on an inspiration, ending just as the boat starts to drop. It it an easy plan to follow and will make you laugh at the idea of being sick, unless you have a stomach so weak as to be affected by the swaying of an elevated train or boat on a short and smooth ferry.
