.Ttiy Gould lifts accumulated a greater
fortiuio than nny other person "of the
century who started in llfo without n
dollar. No ono knows more about him
than Mr. Glovanl P. Morosini , who was
for eighteen years his confitlcntinl usso-
olato. Mr. Morosini said to u Now York
Sim reporter the other day :
"More has boon written about Jay
Gould Individually than about any other
living American. With nil that has
been written , comparatively little Is
known of him. Most of the stories ,
printed or otherwise , about him Imvu
been Imaginative or so distorted OH to
losojill resemblance to the facts. The
Inclc'flf knowledge Is duo to Mr. Gould's
ways. There never was a man with less
obtruHlvoncss in bis personal character.
lie prefers to keep out of aijrht. Llko
Napoleon , ho Is a man of Bllonco and
thought. Ho would bo out of hta cle
ment in a crowd.
"Mr. Gould's external appoarnnco af
fords a fair notion of his mental makeup.
Ills face always wears a contemplative
oxpre&Mon. It Is a fact that ho is think
ing incessantly. Ills interests are M >
vast tind his schemes so complicated
that his mind must bo bent upon them
all the time. Mr. Gould's ' eyes are sel
dom turned upon the face of a person
With whom ho is talking. lie will now
and then cast a glance at bis questioner
but generally hols looking in some other
direction. This peculiarity of Mr.
( Jould'sis not beenuso lie is unable to
look anybody in the face , but because bo
is meditating while ho is conversing ,
lie never lets his ga-/o rest on any object
more than a moment. If ho did it would
distract his thoughts. Ilia hardest
thinking is done when his eyes are wan
dering oil into space.
"Mi\ Gould is a man of few words To
every inquiry ho responds in the briefest
. If ' ' 'no' is
manner. 'yes' or a sulllciont
answer only the ono word escapes him.
It is remarkable how much ho can say
in ono or two of his toreo sentences. Ho
speaks In a low and rather soft volco ,
without inflection or gestures. Unless
ho is the questioner ho docs not talk oven
for the sufco of enlivening a dragging
conversation. When seated Mr. Gould
invariably throws ono log over the other
and lenna back in the chair. When
standing ho likes to rest his hand upon
something. When at the , tiiker read
ing the quotations of the stock market ,
which the machine prints on a paper
tape , bo generally sits on the arm of a
I ! " chair. As a rule ho has something in
his band , either a letter , a scrap of
paper , or a pencil , which ho twirls al
most incessantly , though not nervously.
'
lie booms to bo lost unlebs his hand 'is
occupied in this way. It is an uncon
scious occupation , and merely represents
the force of habit.
"In all his ways Mr. Gould Is exceed
ingly jihiin and quiet. Blubtor , show , or
an exhibition of importance is wholly
' foreign to his nature. Perhaps ono rea
son for his great success Is tlmt people
I with whom ho has dealt have not ac
corded him the measure of his ability ,
and in consequence ho has got the best
of transactions. The old saying applies
to Mr. Gould. IIo is smarter than a
hleol trap , and a steel trap is supposed
to lie low and say nothing. Notwith
standing the dominating quality of
moneymaking there are the sumo ele
li * ments in his composition as in other people
ple who have not fortunes to cuard and
add to.
"First of all Mr. Gould has a keen
Boiibo of humor , the gratification of
which , however , Is seldom indicated by
moio than the quietest smilo. If ho wore
an orator ho would bo another Chauncoy
M. Dnpow , through drier in his humor.
-Mr. Gould cannot make a speech , so Mr.
Dopow need not fear him na a rival in
the oratorical Hold. Mr. Gould has
mndo three speeches in his life , and the
longest contained perhaps fifty words.
Ho is not at his case when posing before
a public iibsomblngc.
"Mr. Gould likes to road the newspa
pers and extracts a great deal of quiet
fun from them. IIo reads them care
fully , and points which another reader
might hurry over ho will find signific
ant , ridiculous or humorous. Tie spends
all his spare time rending. There are
few moro devoted book worms. The
books which ho reads are of a substan
tial and instructive character. IIo is
thoroughly acquainted with history , an
cient and modern , and is well versed in
scientific iprotrrebs.
"Mr. Gould has few psistimes outside
of his reading. IIo used to drive a great
deal , but nowadays ho limits himself tea
a ride in the afternoon in Central park
with his daughters. IIo occasionally
plnj s cards with his younger children ,
out moro for their amusement than
his own. Once in a while ho'goos to the
theater. Ho is rarely seen at the opera.
As a matter of fact ho has no oar for
music. Ills ovoulnga nro usually spent
at homo , and ' are partly if not altogeth
er , occupled'in looking over the reports
of the railroads and other corporations
in tvhioh ho is interested.
"Although ho has a flno munition on
fifth avenue for a city resldenconud a
magnificent place at Irvington on the
Hudson , for a country residence , and a
yacht almost as largo as an ocean-going
steamship , ho is , nevertheless , very
plain in his ways of living. Ho dresses
in the quietest stjle. Ho eats of simplest
food , and very little of it. Ho is regular
as a clock in his habits. Ills moMs are
taken at exactly the same hour each day.
IIo Is In bed about I0ocloek every night ,
and Is up by BUtO or 0 in the summer and
by 7 in the winter. Mr Gould has tired
somewhat of his yacht , It takes fifty-
two men to make up the crow , and the
principal use to which it has been put
has been to carry him between Now York
nnd Irvington. Ho could have made the
trip quicker , though not with so muoh
comfort perhaps , by roll. No doubt ho
would accept a reasonable offer for the
craft , which is ono of the best appointed
private vessels afloat.
"Mr. Gould's mall is enormous. Three-
fourths of it is composed of bogging letters -
tors , and the hotter pare of the remain
ing one-fourth is from cranks and people
who ought to know bolter. On an aver-
ngo Mr. Gould 'receives three letters n
week in which the writers threaten to
take his llfo. IIo never pays any atten
tion to the throutcnlnglotterribofausoho
knows that any ono who intended to kill
him would not toll , him beforehand.
Very few letters tlmt como to Mr. Gould
are nns'vcrcd.Yhatovor letters Mr.
Gould has to write ho pens with his own
hand , IIo does not employ a stenographer.
HH ! letters are exceedingly brief and no
coi/ioi of them are over kept
"It IK a i/teut mistake to suppose that
Mr. Gould is in constant fear and trem
bling for his llfo. IIo has so much else
to think of that ho has no time
to think of danger. IIo goes about
wholly unattended , und the nlory\hat
ho has a detective constantly at his
heels to protect him la untrue. It would
not bo a dllllcult thing for anybody actu
ally bent on taking Mr. Gould's life to
accomplish hla purpose , Mr. Gould has
the knack , however , of passing right be
fore the eyes of a person on Iho lookout
for him without bolng observed. How
ho does it is fcomolhlng not easily de
scribed. Hoforo ono Knows it ho has
come and gone like a flash , lie Is very
quick in his movements and seems lo
glide rather than walk. Ho very sel
dom uses the elovato'-s In the Western
Union building , where ho has his pri
vate olllces. They are hot quick enough
for him. IIo can run up and down stairs
with more alacrity. Mr. Gould is abso
lutely tireless.
"Mr. Gould has some difficulty in keepIng -
Ing out of the way of the cranks , danger
ous and not dangerous , who hang about
his olllco door. They como for all pur
poses , from slaying him to Interesting
him In flying machines and other onlor-
nriscst One day a crank wrote lo warn
him that ho would bo shot If ho did not
put up the stock market before 3 O'clock
in the afternoon , This crank's ' letter
had scarcely boon -road before another
was received , warning him that ho
would bo shot If ho did not put down the
market before U o'clock In the afternoon.
Whit-hover way the market wont ho was
bound to bo killed , and the dilemma
ninuhod Mr. Gould more than anything
that had occurred In a long tlinn.
' One day a man presented himself at
Mr. Gould's olllco and demanded to BOO
the millionaire. Somebody else otTorod
to transact any business that ho might
have. The man was very dignified , and
siId : he would treat with nobody except
Mr. Gould. Mr. Gould happened to
overhear his remark and stopping to the
door asked him the nature of his busi
ness. The man reached into an inside
yookot and quickly drew out a long brass
cylinder. The natural conclusion was
tlmt the man was a dynamiter and that
the instrument which ho hold in his
hand was a bomb. The door was
slammed shut and everybody in the
olllco made a wild rush for a place of
safety. No explosion followed , nnd after
u time ono of the clerks roconnoitercd
The man still stood where hej was left
with the cylinder in Ills band. IIo suc
ceeded in convincing the clerk that
there was no danger , and Mr , Gould re
turned to the door. The man said ho
had the greatest invention of the ago ,
in which no wanted Mr. Gould to Invest
a few millions. It looked like a squirt
gu" , bat the man said it va.a n pocket
churn which would mnko it. possible to
have fresh butter at each meal. All
that was necessary to do was to put some
crotun in the churn , stick the churn in
the pocket and in an idle moment agi
tate tiic paddlo.
"Mr. Gould never gets violently
angry. "When hois provoked ho denotes
the fact by shaking the forefinger of his
right hand and saying , "That was
wrong , ' or 'That should not have Jboon
done. IIo was never known to
utter an oath or to use nn
opprobrious epithet. Ho never
gets excited. Under all curcom-
.stances bo Is the same unperturbed , self-
possessed , calculating man. His'domon-
strations of pleasure , although not bois
terous , are much moro marked than
thofeo of anger. During the yellow
'over scourge in Memphis ho sent $10,000
to the sufferers. One of the Wall street
newspapers , which was inimical to
Itussoll Sage , announced that Mr. Sago
would sing the 'Star-Spangled Banner'
on the stops of the stok exchange for
the benefit of thosulToi jrs. The pron sl-
tion struck Mr. Gould aa being so'ox -
trmncly absurd that ho loaned back in
his chair and laughed more heartily
than anybody had over hoard him be
fore. The publication was intended as
n satire on Mr. Sago's prudence in money
matters.
"About the same time a lady came tote
to Mr. Gould's olllco and said that she
.vould contribute 810,000 and go to Memphis -
phis to care for the sick if Mr. Gould
would give her an additional $10,000 to
bo expended in her work. Mr. Gould
replied that his great rogaid for her
personal welfare was his only objection
to promptly handing over the money to
her. She was perfectly willing to risk
her life , but Mr. Gould insisted that ho
could not listen to such a thing.
"Mr. Gould's car was attached to a
train on which was a number of plumbers -
ors and other mechanics on their way to
San lYnncisco to work on the Palace
hotel. Whoa the train pulled up at
Larnmlo a towering frontiersman was
swaggering up and down the platform
of the station with a half dozen revolvers
vers stuck in his bolt and his pockets
bulging with cartridges. Ono of the
plumbers jumped elf the train to got n
drink , and his uncertain stops caused
him to collide with the wild and woolly
westerner.
" 'Do you know who I am ? ' growled
the walking arsenal , in the voice of a
grizzly bear , 'I am a bad man from
Bloody Canon , and I don't allow no ten
derfoot to look at me. '
" 'I am a bad man from Newark , N.
, T. , " said the plumber , and with thirt ho
brought his list upindor the other bad
man's left car , and the terror from
Bloody Canon was stretched out sense
less on the platform.
"Mr. Gould heard the row nnd stuck
his head out of n window of Ills car am
asked what.tho matter was. Ho was
told that a man had just been put to
sleep. IIo did not understand at first
but soon found out the nature of UK
rumpus and had a quiet laugh over It.
"When Mr. Gould was In control o
of the Union Pacific railroad ho won
out west to look over a proposed line to
Ijcadville. At the mouth of the canon
quartered in a little shanty , ho found i
young cnirincer. whom he employed to
make some surveys and maps. Mr
Gould asked him if ho did not find i
pretty lonesome out there In the wilder
ness. The young man replied that if ho
had $3,000 ho would consider himsol
ono of the most favored mortals , will
nuch inugnilicont surroundings as ho
posssessed. When ho returned to No\
York Mr. Gould sent the engineer a
cheek for $5,000.
"Mr. Gould is the most liberal man to
his friends and employes that Wall
street ever know. Many times ho has
inado investments in stocks for people
and handed thorn the profits. They
have taken the money and tried to add
to it by speculations. Not understand
ing the devious ways of the 'stock mar
ket , they lost all , and promptly ac
cused Mr. Gould of setting traps to
catch them. Men who made fortunes
through association with Mr. Gould
and loat them nftor breaking oft their
relations with him have found excuses
for their misfortune by charging it to
his machinations. Mr. Gould has often
said that it was impossible to succeed in
Wall stroot. without largo capital nnd
without being a member of the combi
nations made up to manipulate values.
"Mr. Gould has no superstitions and
no prejudices. IIo looks at everything
in a hard , matter-of-fact way , nnd dealt
with conditions instead of theories. He
uses neither tobacco nor liquor. He
never smoked but once. That was sooti
after ho started in the stock brokerage
business In Wall street many years ngo ,
Ho wont to a dinner attended by a mini'
her of brokers and at Its conclusion was
prevailed upon to try a cigar with lilt
cotTeo. Ilia experience was the same at
US.-1 * "
hat of the average small boy who is
earning to smoke. The room turned
upsldo down , and there were all the
thcr customary symptoms of the first
Igar. If it can bo said that M. Gould
ins a habit , it is the habit of drinking
oiTeo. IIo is inordinately fond of black
olToo , and often drinks three or four
ups at a meal.
"Mr. Gould learned a valuable lesson
n the brokerage business from Jim
'Isk. Mr. Gould asked him how ho con
ducted bin business.
" 'Our business , ' replied Mr. risk , 'is
conducted on a simple plan. When a
customer puts up margins wo Immedi
ately dlvluo thorn among the members
) f the firm. We never had to refund
btftonco. An old man loft $10,000 with
us as a margin , but ho died before he
could glvo us an order and wo had to
iay the money to the administrators,1
" 'Your plan is simple , ' said Mr.
Gould quietly , but also undorstandlngly.
"No man ever had a happier homo
tha'n Mr. Gould. IIo is absolutely de
voted to his children and they in turn
'airly worship him. "

How the Jnpnnnso Gardeners fllaJco
Their DwiirCTrccM.
livery nno who romcmbsrs the contcn-
: ilal exhibition will recall the charming
llttlo Japanese garden , with its minia
ture landscapes and its tiny evergreens ,
that yet looked so old and gnarled that
they might have come from ivnrlinoviii
forest in Lllllpnt , says the Philadelphia
Times. Some of these miniature trees
are preserved in horticultural hall in
the West park , but they are generally
overlooked in .tho multitude of marvel
ous things that fill this public treasure
house of beauty. The dwarllng of plants
is a favorite pursuit with Japanese and
Chinese gardeners. Their peculiar
growth has not boon suggested by a
freak of fashion , but apparently by the
very wants of a nation. The Japanese
are fond of bright surroundings , but
their houses nml gardens are too small
to admit of any largo collection of plants
or of much rookery or laying out. To
meet to some extent this dolieiency , the
horticulturists have invented a method
of foicing the trees to take shapes which
will correspond with the close compass
they have to bo fitted in , while the potter -
tor and brass worker have fnslilonod
wonderful pans and vases to hold these
strangely twisted shrubs. The Japanese
love to gather in their homes and in the
smallest space and most artistic way a
variety of dwarf .trees to form an artifi
cial landscape a" lake with its fish ,
angler and boatnun , winding paths ,
mountains in the distance , huts for the
crane' , without forgetting the bamboo
hedge all disposed on a slab or tray ,
easily placed on a table.
The way that these phenomenal plants
are obtained was explained last year at
the Paris exhibition. First , a system of
semi-starvation has to bo followed. A
seedling or cutting is put on a bit of
stone , in a shallow pan or a high but
narrow vase , which is filled with a soil
light or heavy , but never rich , the object
being to prevent an abundant flow of sap ;
so that , while the young tree is kept
alive , vegetation does not go on with its
natural activity. The plant is also spar
ingly provided with water ; hence it
grows slowly. Trees thus reared will
scarcely grow moro than half a yard
high , while their natural height might
have boon , perhaps , from forty feet to
fifty feet , like the thuja in the picture , a
tree thirty years old , with its roots
springing seven inches upward above
the rim of the vase , and the rotinospora ,
quite ono hundred and fifty years old ,
whoso roots project at least six inches.
This unusual direction of the roots Is
carefully prepared from the beginning ,
and the peculiar shape of the trunk and
twisting of the branches are the result
of endless care and perseverance and of
the aversion of the gardener for straight
lines , which do not answer the object
aimed tit. As soon as the trunk is suffi
ciently strong it is bent almost in two
parts by dint of incessant propping and
tying. The tree develops itself in this
position , but remains crooked , and this
operation must bo repeated many times ,
although occasionally tbp top of the tree
is allowed to grow straight up. Load
ing shoots are pinched oil and tlioir
branches are bent and twisted to describe -
scribe S's , spirals or made to boni over
the pot , as they are apt to do ever a
precipice.
The quaint colling of the trunk of an
old pine , twenty-four inches high , and
the crinking of its branches is beauti
fully illustrated in the cut. Much clip
ping of useless branches is required , and
oven the buds growing at the extremity
of the shoots are also nippco olT to avoid
any further lengthening , while those
growing at the sides are retained. Some
pf'theso cramped plants are produced by
ingenious grafting ; thus a stem the size
of a man's wrist is placed In a vase and
cut down to rise nearly four inches
above the pot , and on each pido is
grafted a small shoot of procarpus
macrepbylla , with fern-like branches
and exceedingly pretty cluter of pyra
mid-Ilk blossoms A very picturesque
way ot growing different pines to form
attractive groups is by planting them
either on a piece of pumice stone or on
the trunk of the tvristopylla , an arbores
cent fern of south Japan. It produces in
time ' a leafy and graceful landscape.
Sovo'rnl fruit trees are also stunted , but
the hardy kind for this treatment are
usually comfonv , which can easily bo
trained to take the biz/.aro yet always
artistic shapes given them by the gar-
donor.

I hoard a story the other day about
the former assistant rector of ono of the
largest Episcopal churches of the city ,
says a gossiper in the Hrooklyn Life.
The gentleman In question is now the
president of a college so far away that
ho can not mind if I relate the incident.
Ho was a jolly good follow when ho
lived in a boarding house hero , nnd in
his ott hours was accustomed to join in
with the other good follows of the house
at a friendly game of whist or a smoke.
Ones evening when ho was out at a ser
vice two of the wags of the establish
ment remembered that it was his in
variable habit upon returning homo to
dolt his roundabout vest and 'clerical
coat , put on an old smoking jacket and
incase his foot in a pair of morocco slip
pers , which latter always occupied the
same position on his bedroom floor , pre
paratory to his coming.
Accordingly , they firmly nailed these
ijors to the floor and awaited results
in the next room. Presently the domi
nie returned. They hoard him moving
about ; Ihoy hoard the thud of his shoos
as they wore taken olT and thrown down
and then all was silence. They peeked
cautiously in and there behold the young
clortryinaa standing in his blippors , Ills
face as white as a shoot and a look of
horror upon it , his eyes staring straight
alicad.
The sight was too much for thorn , but
they managed tosuppross their laughter
and ask in a tonool imrizemont what the
matter was. "Matter , " ho gasped , "there
is matter enough , boys ; I'm paralyzed
and can't move hand or foot. For morcy'a
sake , help mo. " The man did actually ,

ho was paralyzed for a moment or two ,

AN ONYX MINK IN MIS8OUHI.
Discovery of liip\tinu t Ililc Deposits In
CnnvHinl County.
Last Juno a company of Chicago and
eastern capitalists was organized , with a
capital of 81,600,000 , to purchase the then
only known onyx quarries of the habit
able globe those in the etnao of Ptiobln ,
Mexico , which , since Iho failure of the
quarries at Obdrfltoin , Germany , sup
plied the world with this beautiful dec
orative material , says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. Some centuries ago
the quarries in Arabia , from which King
Solomon drew his supply of onyx for Iho
decoration of the Interior of his temple ,
and where ancient Homo and Greece pro
cured their stone for the adornment of
their palaces and the homos of the pa
tricians , had become exhausted , and
with the tworklng out of the veins at
Oborstoln , Germany , it was supposed
that Mexico possessed the only quarries
of this rich and rare stone. Kecont ex
plorations in iho O/nrk mountains show
that such was not the euso , as two cav
erns have boon found literally filled from
floor to dome with the beautiful material ,
as well us a hlllsido deposit from which
the walls * and roof of the cavern have
been gradually washed away by the ac
tion of the elements.
The credit of this discovery lies with
Mr. Horace E. Hood of this city , who
owns the entire tract , embracing ! ! 00
acres , who became ombuod with the
idea that the O/.urk range , so rich in
mineral , also contained onyx , If It could
but bo unearthed. Acting upon this be
lief Mr. Hood , since early in the sum
mer , has had mineralogists and assist
ants at work in Crawford county to veri
fy his theory If possible. That Iho ro
suit of their Bcurt'li was eminently suc
cessful Is shown by the fact that in Unit
county , near the banks of the Moramec ,
and within seventy miles of ' St. Louis ,
vast and prnotienlly inolmu'stlblo de
posits of onyx have 'been found. The
find is easy to work and within six miles
of the St. Louis & San Francisco rail
way. A syndicate of capitalist has
been formed to develop the property ,
and a contract has boon let for. a lorry
across the Meramec that the stone may
bo the moro readily reached. This will
make SI. Louis the onyx mart of the
world , and the hoadnuartcrd of the svn-
dicnto will bo loc.itott horo.
The importance of this discovery will
bo appreciated when it. is stated that
onyx sells at from $ ! l to $15 dollars per
cubic foot , and oven then has to bo pur
chased on speculation , as there are no
surface indications to show whether a
block is without a Haw or not.
The onyx in the first cavern discovered
Is of a superior cr.tde , beautifully col
ored , striped or banded , nnd is lilghly
translucent. It is found mostly in the
form of couches or wldo , thick layers
nnd can be-easily quarried. It takes on
a glass-Hko poll&h , and in beauty of col
oring and wave lines is in many respects
superior to that found in Mexico. Tliis
cave is easy of access , the entrance
largo , and the stone can bo placed on the
market at a slight cost. The deposits
found in the sccolidcavo , are much larger
in extent than _ aye those found in the
first cnvo , and of , even a higher grade.
It is unquestionably the largest and
finest deposit of onyx ever discovered. It
is found chiofiy 'in huge blocks or
benches on and against the walls of the
beautiful grotto , extending outward and
upward along th'o walls for many feet ,
This cavern , in addition to the benches
aforesaid , is also studded with stalac
tites and stalagmite's ' of solid onyx , from ,
a few inches in diameter to that of maiiy
foot , The stone hero runs in color from
a clear translucent white to a deep , rich
chocolate. The , Cavern has been ex
plored for fully a mlle without reaching
its limit , and is a solid mass of onyx of
variegated hue its entire length.
About a quarter of a mile from the en
trance to this cavern a second and
smaller cave branches oil wostwardly
for a distance of half a mile. This , too ,
is filled with blocks of onyx of a superior
quality. These are in ledges , in many
places G foot thick , 10 in width and
about 60 in length. The rear part of
this small cave or chamber is filled from
floor to roof with translucent blocks of
this beautiful decorative material , and
how much farther it extends into Iho
hill has not yet been determined nor can
it bo until the onyx in sight has been re
moved , which will require the work of
years. The floors of these two caves
seemed to bo composed of the same ma
terial as the walls and roof. But little
development work has been done here ,
only enough to Show the quality of the
stono. It is proposed , however , to com
mence quarrying early in the spring.
In the second cavern hundreds of thou
sands of tons of onyx are in sight , in
some places towering up in gigantic
masses not unlike the bluffs on river
banks. These columns or bluffs range
from 60 to 100 foot in length. The onxy
in this cavern alone is amply sufficient
to supply the markets of the world for a
century.
The third , or hillside deposit , Is a pe
culiar formation , and has boon devel
oped enough to show that here , too ,
the supply is practically inexhaustible ,
five men having taken therefrom in ono
week 140 tons of superior grade .onyx ,
varying in size from , that of a man's
head to blocks eight and ton foot long ,
while many larger pieces wore uncov
ered. The quality of the deposits hero
is of a superior grade , equal to the
choicest discoveries in either of the
caverns above mentioned. The process
of erosion or crumbling awaj' can bo
plainly seen hero at all points , showing
that ono time this vast deposit was also
ouclosed in a cavern from which Iho
walls and roof have been washed away
by the action of Iho elements , thus
opening up naturo'djlorohouso.

5,000,000,000 and 7,000,000 horse power ,
for the sake of convenience wo will say
0.000,000 horse power , which , added to
the other powers enumerated nbovo ,
gives us a total of 40,000,000 horse power
for the world. A steam "horso power"
is equal to tarco actual horses' power ,
and a living horso's strength is equal to
that of seven men. Therefore the steam
engines of the world represent , approxi
mately the working power of 1,000,000-
000 of mon , or moro than double the
working population of the world , the
total population of which Is usually esti
mated at 1,455.023,000 inhabitants.
Steam has accordingly enabled man to
treble his working power , making It
possible for him to economize his physic
al strength whllo attending to his Intel
lectual development.
