seventh Half.Yeariy Literary Competition
of The Canadian Agriculturist.
In accordance with their usual custom for
some years past, the publishers of that old and
reliable publication, The Canadian Agricultur-
ist, now presents its 7th Great Half-Yearly Liter-
ary Competition for the winter of 1893, to the
people of the United States and Canada. The

this line will find little cause for complaint on
that ground.
The importance of this Line ean be better un-
derstood if a short lesson in geography be now
recited.
What is the great Eastern termini of the Rock
Island Route?—Chicago. What other sub-East-
ern termini has it?—Peoria. To what important
points does it run trains to the Northwest ?—St.
Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Water-
town and Sioux Falls, Dakota. To what impor-
tant Towa and Nebraska points?—Des Moines,
Davenport, Towa; Omaha and Lincoln, Nebras-
ka. Does it touch other Missouri River points?—
Yes; St. Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth and
Kansas City. Does it run trains to the Foothills
of the Rocky Mountains?—Yes; to Denver, Colo-
rado Springs and Pueblo, solid vestibuled from
Chicago. Can important cities of Kansas be
reached by the Rock Island Route?—Yes; its
capital city, Tokepa, and a full hundred others
in all directions in the State, and it is the only
road running to and into the new lands opened
for settlement in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Reservation.
It will thus be seen that a line tapping, as the
Rock Island does, such a varied territory, has
much in that regard to commend it to travelers,
as all connections are sure on the Rock Island,
and passengers can rely on a speedy journey, as
over a bulk of the system through trains are run,
and it has become, and rightly too, the popular
Line.
A very popular train on the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific Railway leaves Chicago, daily,
at 10 p. m. It is called “THE Bie Five,” is only
one day out, and passengers arrive at Denver,
Pueblo or Colorado Springs early the second
morning.
The Rock Island has become a popular Colo-
rado Line, and the train above referred to is Ves-
tibuled, and carries the Rock Island’s excellent
Dining Car Service.

The Last Man.
A French statistician, who has been
studying the military records with a view
of determining the height of men at dif-
ferent periods, has reached some wonder-
ful results. He has not only solved some
perplexing probiems in regard to the past
of the human race, but also is enabled to
calculate its future, and to determine the
exact period when man will disappear
from the earth.
The recorded facts extend over nearly
three centuries. It is found that in 1610
the average height of man in Europe
was 1.75 meters, or say 5 feet nine inches.
In 1790 it was 5 feet 6 inches. In 1820 it | ON THE FOURTH OF NEXT MARCH
was 5 feet 5 inches and a fraction. At SRgen AND i
the present time it is 5 feet 83% inches. It
