distinction in his chosen work coold

waiting upon himself. In the very first
letter he confided to his sitter the nows

Number or People Since Adam,
Did you ever make a calculation of
obable
the probable dumber of people that have
inhabited onr globe since the beginning
of time! No doubt you will say that
such calculations Involve a loss of time,
and are after all barren of results. But
let us take a few minutes’ time and ap
proximate, with a certain degree of
accuracy, the number of aoule that have
bean uehered, into this wicked world
since the time when it was "not good for
Adam to be alone.”
At the prosent time It Is believed that
there are 1,400,000,000 human beings on
the globe) but let ns suppose that there

bae been but nnj average of 000,000,000
living at any one time since tho crea
tion, Next, to give room for any possible
donbt, we will put the average length
of life at fifty years. (It may have been
touch longer than that 5,000 years ago,
bnt has been much shorter for the last
1,000 years.) With the average length
of life at above, wo have had two gen
erations of 900,000,000 each every cen
ter^ for the past 0,000 years.

had 66,097,843,087,075,200 human in

Peatbs la Jnnunry.
It has often boon noticed at tho begin
ning of January the death is announced
of a number of promiuent men. The
reason is probably found in tho fact not
that great men nvo more prone to dio in
January than at any other time of the
year, but that the weather in that month
is unsettled, and consequently hard on
the constitution alike of great and hum
ble. Great men are only human after
all, and n great man physically weak
ened by hard work or diseaso is just as
likely to die from a change of weather
-aa though he wore a day laborer.
The mortality tables show that tho
month of January and the first month
of exceedingly hot weather in tho sum
mer are more fatal than any other time
of the year, and tho groat must take
Hjheir chances with other people.--St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
Trouble in the St. Clair Tunuel.
Great trouble ia being experienced in
ventilating tho St. Clair tunnel, which
'waa opened last year. Owing to the
•teep grades very heavy engines are
used for working tho tunnel section,
land inch quantities of smoke come from
these engines that It is difficult to get
men who are willing to run them. It is
now proposed fitting Binoke consumers
to the engines with a view of mitigating
the nuisance.—New York Times.
