cent. of the ground sown to wheat lest
Fall hes been plowcd down on ac-
count of the severe winter killing.
The winter lorses of honey bee col-
onies in the State is plac:d at 11.8 per
cent, during the past wint:r as com-
pared with 17.1 per cent, in 1916 and
15,7 per cent, in 1915,
The average yield of maple sugar
and syrup per tree in this Stata is esti-

MORE OR LESS AN ESTIMATE
How the Census Bureau Arrives at
What it Calls the Center of
Population.
——
In eating the cemver of poflilatidh
it is first assumed to be approximately
at a certain point. Through this point
a parallel and a meridian are drawn,
crossing the entire country. The prod-
uct of the population of a given area
by its distance from the assumed par-
allel {8 called a north or south mo-
ment, and the product of the popula
tion of the area by its distance from
the assumed meridian is called an
east and wost moment. In calculating
north and south moments the dis-
tances are measured in minutes of
arc; in calculating east and west mo
ments it {8 necessary to use miles on
account of the unequal length of the
degrecs and minutes {n different lati-
tudes. The population of the country
is grouped by square degrees—that is,
by areas included between consecutive
parallels and meridians—as they are
convenient units with which to work.
The population of the principal cities
is then deduced from that of the re
spective square degrees in which they
lie and treated separately. The cen-
ter of population of each square de-
gree is assumed to be at its geo-
graphical cénter, except where such
an assumption {8 manifestly {incorrect :
in these cases the position of the cen-
ter of population of the square degroe
is estimated as nearly as possible.
The population of each square de
gree north and south of the assumed
parallel {8s multiplied by the distance
of its center from that parallel: a sim-
{lar calculation is made for the prin-
cipal cities, and the sum of the north
moments and the sum of the south
moments are ascertained. The dif
ference between these two sums, di
vided by the total population of the
country, gives a correction to the lati
tude. In a similar manner the sums
of tha east and of the west moments
are ascertained and from them the
correction In longitude is made.
DECIDE ON FRUITS’ RIPENESS
Experts Have Settled Question Which
Has Long Been a Matter of
Serlous Moment.
When is an orange ripe?
Sam has been puzzling his
with this query for
ily the bureau of chemistry has
decided, anyway, when an orange is
unripe, According to the fading,
which applies both to Florida and
California fruit, oranges are consid-
ered ature if the juice does not
contain soluble solids equal to or in
'xcess of, eight parts to every part of
acid contained in the juice, the acl ity
of the juice to be calculated as citric
acid without water or erystallization”
The applies to Florida grape
fruit, except that the ratio of soluble
solids to the acid must be gemen to
one, ap beter,
The decision was necessary bféause
of the alleged practice of growers of
picking the fruit green and “steaming”
it yellow either in warehouses or in
transit to market In many instances
the fruit contained so little sugar and
£0 much acid that it was injurious to
digestion, especially to the digestion
of children,

Danger From Above and Below.
An old lady who lived alone outside
a small English village was nervous of
ppeling, so she made careful {nqui-
ries as to her best course.
“I don’t think there's much to worry
about,” replied the vicar in answer to
her questions, “but, if you like, you
can do as some folk are doing--sleep
in the collar”
With profuse thanks, the old lady
went on to alter her domestic arrange
ments. But in half an hour she was
back again, anxiety once more wrin-
kiing her brow.
“The cellar's all right for Zeppe
lins, sir” she said, “but suppose one
o' them there submarines comes in-
stead?”
Mark Twain “at the Case”
Mark Twain's connection with the
printing Industry is Interestingly de
scribed in the “American Printer,”
from the days when he was an itiner-
ant typesetter (his first job when his
wanderings brought him to New York
city, it is stated, was in the compos
ing room of Gray & Green, the pre
decessor of the Willlam Green cor
poration, the present printers of The
Outlook), to the time when he was the
financial head of the firm of Charles
L. Webster & Co. As a compositor
he was glad to earn $5 a week; when
publisher his firm paid to Mrs. Grant,
from the profits on General Grant's
“Meraoirs,” $450,000,
Head Held In Oyster Can.
No eat was ever caught tighter in a
salmon can than was fifteen-months-
old Hilda Knaub of Windsor, when her
elder sister, Dorothy, slipped a tin
oyster pafl over the baby's head in
play.
An offset inside the bucket held the
child's hoad as in a vise. After a futile
effort to get it loose, Mrs. John Knaub,
mother of the children, sent for the
nearest plumber, who came with his
shears and cut the pail. The child
was badly frightened, but unhurt.
