PROBLEM.
IKIW I.ONU WIM, IT TAKE TO C II 111 S-
T1AN1ZK Til IS WolU.l) ?
We republish by request tho above
problem, and the solution by Mr. Eugene
Johnston, of Littleton.
PHOULEM.
Three centuries after Christ there were
),()00,000 Christians, an average of
1,15110,000 per century.
Eight centuries after Christ there were
30,000,000 Christians, nil increase of 5,-
000,000 per century.
Ten centuries alter Christ there were
fifty million, au increase of 10,000,000
per century.
Fifteen centuries after Chi ist there
wsro 100,000,001) Christians, au increase
of 10,000,000 per century.
Eighteen centuries after Christ there
were 174,000,000, an increase of, ttuy,
25,000,000 per century.
Now there are 450,000,000, an in
crease of of 270,000,000 to tho present
time, or about 300,000,000 per century.
AT THIS RATE OF INCREASE HOW
LONO WILL IT TAKE TO CHRISTIANIZE
TnE WHOLE WOULD?
SOLUTION.
I assume the present popu'ation of the
world to be, iu round numbers 1500
millions, and tho yearly increase of the
popul ition of the wotlil to be 1 5 millions.
This rate of increase for 50 yeats, will
give a total increase of 750 millions,
which added to 1500 millions, the pres
ent population of (he world, will give
2250 millions for the population of thn
world, lift v vears hence, or in tho vewr
A. 1. 1912.
In tho problem, the increase of Chris
tianity is given for the LSih century at
25 million, and for the 19th ceutury tit
300 millions. This radical increaso in
the 18th and 1'Jth canturies from the
gradual progressive increase from the be
ginning, through tho other preceding
centuries, virtually eliminates all other
rates of increase from tho calculation and
makes tho difference in the increase of
the lSth and 19th centuries tho truo and
proper rate of increaso to base calculation
for future increase.
Now as tho increaso of Christianity
was 300 millions in the 19th century or
12 times '- ' ir than in the 18th centu
ry, it foiioffs at tho same rate of increase,
it must be 12 times greater in the 20th
than in tho 19th century which is 12
times 300 millions or 3000 millions in
crease for the 20th century or 1800 mil
lions for half century of fifty years, to
which add 450 millions, tho present
number of Christians, and we have 2250
millions Christians, fifty years hence, in
the year A. D. 1912, which as shown
above will also bo tho population of the
world at that time. My answer is, I re
peat, fifty years from the present time, or
in the year A. D. 1942.

TIIK NEW YORK WOULD COIilt KSPONll
ENT HAS A l'I.EASANT WOK1J TO SAY
OP SENATOll VANCE.
Senator Vance, of North Carolina, has
been under the weather and has been
cautioned by his physician to be extremely
prudent. He is troubled with facial
paralysis and with sinking spells that
make breathing difficult. He has been
similarly affected before. While he was
Governor of North Carolina a few years
ago his life for a time was despaired of.
There is probably no member of the
Senate whose absence from the Chamber
is more readily noted by his associates.
Mr. Vance is a wit, a philosopher, an in
imitable story teller and the jolliest of
companions. Ho is the one member of
that solemn and irupre3sivo body who
refuses to succumb to the heavy ntmos
phere of his station. Ho insists, though
a Senator, on taking life naturally and
pleasantly and his running and racy com
ments on the debates are about the richest
things heard in the Senate Mr. Vance
does not speak often, but ho always com
mands attention. Neither docs he at
tempt to lay down the law when ho does
take the floor. His speeches illustrate
the uucoaventional typo of the man,
being full of homely phrases in vogtio in
rural communities and of apt and breezy
references to every day affairs. The
Senator enjoys a neatly turned parody
aud has moi j than once shocked tho
Senate but delighted his friends by quo
ting a bit of doggerel.
Mr. Vance is tixty-two, but ho is
heavy, aud, like ihe niaj.nr y if large
men, he neglects to take sufficient exer
cise, and the results is somo serious dis
order of his system. His trip to Europe
last year did not permanently benefit
him.
N. C. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
The work of the North Carolina Ge
ological survey is being actively pushed
in several sections of tho State. The
State geologist will spend the month of
May in tho counties lying between tho
It ileigh & Gaston, and the Wilmington
and Weldon railroads, and north of the
North Carolina Railroad, examining the
general geological formations, building
stones and iron ores. Mr. II. B. C. Nitze,
geologist in charge "of the iron ore inves
tigation, is now making an examination
of the belts of iron ore and limestone of
Gaston, Lincoln, Catawba and adjoining
counties. Mr. J. V. Lewis is investiga
ting the building stone formations of tho
Deep river Tiiassio sandstone belt, which
extends from Granville county across the
State to the South Carolina lino. Other
assistants connected with the survey will
enter upon field woik at an early dale.
In Juno al' the survey parties will be
concentrated in the mountain counties.
where tho work begun last summer will
be continued. An important piece of
work recently begun by tho survey, and
one in which all the assistants will take
part, is the study of tho rocks to bo fouud
in different parts of the State which are
suitable for use in macadamizing public
roads. The improvement of (lie public
roads is being generally agitated, and
quite a number of counties arc macada
mizing the more important loads, but
some td' them aro using inferior r ck,
while much better material is near at
baud. A report by the survey ou the
best stone for road material, where it is to
be found in quantity uud how to usj it,
will be of gre it service to the peoplo.
Shut Down

ELECTRICITY UTILIZED IN A StRCIICAL
OPERATION.
Ono of the most delicate surgical oper
ations ever performed in San Francisco
was that to which A Baehni, a patient at
the Ci'y and County Hospital, was sub
jected recently. The operation was re
markable in that an endoscope or small
electric light, was used during the process.
This was thrust into the thoracic cavity,
and by its illumination tho action of the
heart and lungs was plainly visible. This
is the first case reported on the Pacific
coast where the electric cndnscope was
used in difficult surgery with beneficial
results.
Baehni was tifilietcd with an abscess,
which had formed in the pleural cavity
and attacked the left lung. The opera
tion was nn exceedingly dangerous one,
and in order not to shock the patient no
mention (if tho intention of the physi
cians was made to him.
The sick man was quickly anaesthetized
and the inflated breast was exposed to
view. A discoloration on the left side
showed that the trouble lay under the
tissue in that direction, and Dr. Ellin
wood began operations at once by making
two deep incisions crosswise, from which
tho blood spurted in streams. Several of
tho larger blood vessels were necessarily
cut, but these were quickly ligatured with
Dr. Stillmau's assistance. The flaps of
flesh were laid to one side, exposing the
third rib to view. This rib was resected
for three inches, aud when it was cut
away a dark and bloody opening was re
vealed, through which the thoracic cavity
and the space between the lungs could be
seen. Dr. Hirschfelder inserted tho en
doscope thrrugh the opening in Baehm's
breast and the light was turned, illumina
ting the interior of tha cavity with re
markable distinctness.
The heart worked slowly, owing to the
effect of the ether. The aorta dilated
and fell with every heart beat. Tho lung
was also plainly visible. During the one
hour and a half coniumed in making the
operation the action of the heart was
plainly visible, and the u.msual sight was
the subject of much comment upon the
part of tho operators and spectators.
The operation was a highly successful
one in every particular, and Baehm's
condition shows that he is gaining strength.
