THE NATION’S WORKINC POWER. tncrgy of Various Countries Kstlmntcd in foot Tons—An Englishman's Tribute. Among the many scientific papers read at the recent meeting of the British asso ciation in Bath, none possesses a higher degree of interest than the brief mono graph of Mr. Michael G. Mulhall on the "Growth of American Industries and Wealth." It is all the more interesting because it is the work of a distinguished English statistician, and so must be re garded as free from any blemish of [ia- tj iotic exaggeration. To look upon tho picture which Mr. Mulhall gives of tho astonishing life, w -.dth and energy of tho United States stirs the blood. In every one of tho three principal sources of power—man, horse and steam—we greatly exceed the li-i-iitig nations of Europe, as will bo seen from this table of Mr. Mulhali’s, showing the aggregate energy of the principal nations in millions of foot tons daily: Countries. Rond. Horse. Steam. Total. L’lhled States 8,-lM 33,600 <8,400 69,4X1 t’cited Kingdom....a,S00 8.JW 38,900 52,930 France 5,090 8,500 18,150 WHO <i -nnany 0,930 10,500 19,800 37,230 An inspection of this table shows that in round numbers the working power of the United States is three times as great as that of France, two and one-half times a« great as that of Germany, and one and two-thirds times ns great as that of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. It is equal to that of tho two greatest of tho older nations combined. If there were any danger of tho re public’s putting forth its gigantic strength in aggressive warfare, thero would bo a panic terror among tho powers across tho ocean, that a hundred years ago beheld its birth with indifferenco or contempt. Moreover, as Mr. Mulhall shows, tho un paralleled growth of this country has only begun: "At present the increase of indu 'ry, energy and wealth goes on nnabai d. Tie* next census in 18110 will probah'v show a population of 00,000,000, with a.i aggregate energy of almost 100,000.00:),- Oul) of foot tons daily, nndan accumulated wealth of 11,000,000,000 sterling, figures never before applicable to any nation i:i tlio world.” Uncle Sam’s boys are not given to vainglorious boasting ns much as t‘—y Used to be. and perhaps one l'es- i is that there is no need for them to imast. A power like that which this republic now possesses speaks for itself, and all tb ■ world heeds it. The moral force 'iiating from such a:i enormous ag- : -ate of physical energy is un measurable. There is not a move- meat for jiolitical enfranchisement oil the^face of tho globe that does not feel itself strengthened by tho influence of the United States. It is glorious to lie a citizen of such a coun try. infinitely more glorious than to have lieen a Roman citizen at tho height of the Roman renown! Well, all this splendor of national de velopment, which tho British men of science have just had displayed for their admiration and wonder, tho people of the United States Iiavo created for them selves, and they have created it by ex tending the same lines of progress which their forefathers struck out a century ago.—Now York Sun. many Important Advantage* over all other prepared Fopda.

A most interesting experiment culmi nate;! t!u.> other day In tho raising of some wheat grown from seeds as old ns the Exodus. Tho experimenter is David Drew, who last year received from a friend in Alexandria, Egypt, some grains of wheat taken from a mummy exhumed near the ruins of Memphis, uiul belong ing, it is believed, to the period of the Ninth Dynasty, which would make it grown about 3,090 B. C., or bo nearly 0.years old. lie planted the seed early in the spring, and carefully nursed it. It grew rapidly, and at tho time of out ting measured from six and a half to seven feet high. Tho leaves alternate on the stalk liko common wheat, but the product of tho plant is tho most singular part of it, for, instead of growing in tho ear liko modern corn, thero is a heavy clu.-t._r of small twigs In placo of tho spindle which hangs downward from its weight, and each twig is thickly studded with kernels, each of which is in a sepa rate husk. From what is threshed a larger crop will bo grown next year, as the result proves this ground to exceed in quality anything that tho modem grain can grow.—Plymouth (Mass.) Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer. Tho Croaker and tho Klckcr. The kicker is a developer; tho croaker u ar. incubu3. Tho kicker incites to im provement; tho croaker to indignation and resentment.
