Guessing At Population.
Congressional preparation for tak
ing the 1910 census has started stat
isticians to making estimates of the
population of the country and pre
diction of what it will be In 1950.
James J. Hill recently offered the
prediction that the United States
would have a population of 250,000
000 by 1950, although other experts
in vital statistics place the number
a" low as 175,000,000.
One of the census experts, W. S.
Roeolter, has just published an ar
ticle in which he estimates the popu
lation in 1910 at about 114,000,000
and ventures the assertion that after
that date the rate of Increase will
be very small, with the prospect that
the entire population in 1950 will
not exceed 130,000,000.
The record shows that the rate of
our population increase is diminish
ing with each decennial census. The
increase from 1870 to 1880 was 31
per cent. From 1880 to 1890 It
was 24 per cent. From 1890 to
1900 it was but 21 per cent. Mr.
Rosslter argues that if this declining
ratio continues the population in
1950 will not exceed 130.000,000,
and will thereafter remain about sta
tionary. He shows by the records
that all estimates of population at
former census periods have been
greatly exaggerated.
A Potential Celebrity.
There is a story of Carlyle In his
old age having taken the following
farewell, In his broadest Scotch, of a
young friend who had had him In
charge for walks, and who, while al
most always adapting himself to Ca"
lyle's mood, had on a single occasion
ventured to disagree with him:
"I would have you to know, young
man, that you have the capacity of
being the greatest bore in Christen
dom." Argonaut.

who were forcing themselves along
because It meant their dally bread,
and the others cheerfully and eagerly
pursuing their way because of love of
their work.
It Is a fact that one's food' baa

It an engine has poor oil, or a boil

Foreigner Totally Blinded By Shot
Fired From Ambush.
Clarion (Special). Frank Mealey.
17 years old, son of David Mealey, of
Washlncton Township, this county,
was arrested and placed In the coun
ty Jail, charged with having delib
erately shot, with Intent to kill, a
Syrian peddler, selling Oriental laces.
The peddler is still living, but re
mains conconsclous.
He had stayed over Sunday at
Mealey's home, and when passing
through a wooded section of the road
in leaving on Monday morning was
shot, by young Mealey, who, it is
alleged, was lying In wait In ambush
for him, The shot was fired from
a shotgun and struck the foreigner
in 'lie head and face, totally blind
ing his sight and mortally wounding
him.
Mealey refuses to talk to the au
thorities of the affair, and deports
himself In an unconcerned manner.
The boy's pnrents say the son was
hunting, and that tho shooting was
accidental, but the story Is given lit
tle credence owing to the circum
stances surrounding the shooting,
chief among which Is the fact that
Mealey concealed himself In the
woods by lying behind a fallen tree,
from which position he could obtain
a clenr view of the road along which
the peddler pasncd.
Mealey's position there Is readily
determined, the police say, by follow
ing his tracks through the recently
fallen snow of the night previous,
which show him to have lain down
to concoRl himself.
The pp.ddler Is said to have had
considerable money on his person,
which he showed during his stay at
the Mealey home.

- Salt Frtnlig.
One of the strangest farms In the
world Is situated In Southern Cal
ifornia, 265 feet below tho level of
the sea. The place Is known as
Snlton. It is a salt farm of about
l.ono acres.
Here the salt lies, as deposited
by nature, from 6 inches to 16 Inches
In depth. The salt farmers are busy
harvesting this crop the year round;
and, though the harvest has continu
ed for over 20 years, during which
time more than 40,000 tons of salt
have been harvested, only 10 of the
1,000 acres of the farm have been
worked. The salt Is first plowed
up into furrows; It is then thrown
Into conical piles by men with bar
rows, after which It is taken to the
reduction works near by and put
Into marketable condition.
The work Is done by Mexicans
and Chinese, the Intense heat being
more than Americans can endure.
