The Fulton County News McConnelisburg, Pa. GROWING COUNTRIES. LThe census department of Canada tlmates the present population of the Dominion to be 7,850,000. The dis tribution by sections Is: Maritime (provinces, 1,037,112; Quebec, 2,088,- 61; Ontario, 2,019,025; Western prov ices, 1,371,164; unorganised terri tories, 58.309. It Is not surprising tbat Canada, with ber many resources and Jjer healthful climate and varied op gmrtunttles for Industrial wealth-seek-ters, should grow all the time, Bays the Mexican Herald. A sturdy race which Increases by the excess of births over deaths is continually being reinforced ry Immigration, and that of the best kind. Tho consuming power of the (population of Canada Is very large, and accounts for the heavy Importa tions of foreign goods end the excel lent support given to home Industries. Argentina, with about a million less population than Canada, Is rapidly In creasing In wealth. It Is Interesting to see that the Influx of Immigrants Into this country from Spain con tinues, Just as It does In the case ol Cuba and Argentina. The ancient Iberian motherland still breeds a sturdy race which send Its sons to former colonies. It used to be "King Cotton." Then Icorn came into active rivalry for su premacy. And now it looks aa though rubber might be the great staple of commerce. There has been an enor tnous Increase in the production of rubber and In Importations Into the Tnlted States. This is due to the rap idly augmenting demand, with rubber aa an essential for automobile, bicycle and carriage tires and for other pur fcoses. Word comes from Sumatra, phlch baa been the Bource of supply tor tobacco of a certain grade, that the planters are giving up the "weed" land are converting their estates Into rubber farms. It Is not believed, Iiowover, tbat tobacco growing In Con necticut, Kentucky and other Amerl lean states will be supplanted by rub eer production. , This is the day ot the auto, the fairship and the wireless telegraph. But some of the old-time slow coaches still come Into play. A wealthy sum mer resident of Newport who went In ibis automobile to visit another gentle man found himself with bis touring car stuck in soft sand from which it could not be moved unaided. An obliging farmer of the neighborhood hitched up his ox team and drew the machine out of the predicament into which the vehicle had plunged. Could Irony further go7 Still, the auto is a good and uneful invention and bos come to stay, although occasionally, In the case of a breakdown, it stays too long in one place. A now compass which may super sede tho compass now In general use is under test on the scout cruise! Birmingham. It is a combination ot the conventional compass with the gyroscope, and la said to eliminate all varieties of deviation of the needle. It can also be placed In the interior of a ship, where it Is safe from the mtasllea of an enemy. A compass ot thlB kind would be extremely valuable In naval service, but It would be far more valuable to commerce, as the In fluences which affect the compass on modern steel ships are puzzling, and sufficient In some Instances to cause wrecks through deviations from proper courses. The census officials expect to add tho names of CO cities in the United States to the list of those having a r population of 25,000 or over which was compiled in 1900. Perhaps there trill be even more than CO. The In dention of machinery for the farm Is one of the factors that have contribu ted to the rise of the cities. A Now York girl who Is heiress to a fortune amounting to $0,000,000 Is compelled to work for tho purpose of jetting enough money to pay her board, because the lawyers are busy trying to divide the estate among thenmelves. The case affords a strong argument In favor cf the "give while yoa live" theory. Fair Parislennes have adopted the bobble skirt style of bathing suit. It la absolutely impossible for thern to swim when hobbled, but they prob ably don't mind that. If they wlnhi-d to go Into tho water they would prob ably do so In their bathrooms.

Cur tiss, of Hammondsport, N. Y., establish ed a new record for over-water flights by traveling over Lake Erie from Euclid Beach, nine miles east of this city, to Cedar Point, Ohio, approximately 00 miles distant. The time of pa-ssngc was 1 hour and 18 minutes. His average time was 45 miles an hour, although one stretch of 20 miles was covered at a rate of a mile a minute. Curtiss used the eight-cylinder 60 hornepower biplane of his own construc tion, in whioh ho mndc his recent fights down the Hudson river from Albany to New York. It was shortly nfter 12 o'clock when the biplane was taken from tho aero drome. At 1.03 P. M., after It had been ascertained that the 12-mile breere from the northeast prevailed in Cleveland and Cedar Point alike, the motor was started. At 1.00 P. M., with the cheers of 40,000 people who had gathoj-od at the starting point ringing in his ears, the aviator swept out over the lake. After reaching a height of 200 feet the machine turned to the west. At 1.13 P. M. it hsd passed Cleveland harbor, where 100,000 persons had grouped them selves along the lake front and on top of buildings, and three minutes later had faded into the mist beyond Rocky river, the western extremity of tho city's 18 mile water front.

West of Dover Bay, however, he encountered air currents that material ly impeded his progress. HOPE FOR MILLION. COLONEL ROOSEVELT . ANDJTHE BUS The Men to Submit Their Troubles to Him.
