some interesting suggestions RELATING
to this subject will be found in The Ias
Quarterly Register. The creates, ~

The orulation OF New York -
lS40, ii is supposed, will be two mil
ions and half, or zoe, 900 more thar
all New England, and about equal r.
that of all the North Western TER;
tories. That Of Pennsylvania is rated
at LOO 600; of Ohio, 1900, OOO.-
That of Virginia is put at q few thou.
sands more. And thus the Oldest set
tied OF the states, which, in 1890. had
population of TAT 600, will have been
overtaken by State which had No
government of any kind until one wear
before that date, did not become
State until 1902, and had, in 1890 =
POI alton Of only 5000. Indeed q
hio has the resources within itself e,
growing into the great State of the
Union. 1t can support without Difficult.

land.
Ohio contains but 10000 SQUARE
miles, while Virginia contains Ga OOo
which is within 1000 of the whole n.
rea of New England, and makes Vir.
ginia the largest as well as the oldest
State. The next in order is Georp;a
$4,000, and Missouri, 10000. I'M
nois contains SO, 900, Florida, 5O.OOo
New York, 46, 900, Pennsylvania, "a.
900, North Carolina and Louisiana
$4,000 each. Delaware contains 9.
80, aud Rhode Island, 1850.
The most rapid increase of popula.
ton we observe is in the case of Ohio
which increased from 5000 to 5000
IN ten years, and in the next ten to
100000. This last was at the rate of
400 per cent. in ten years, whereas
the average rate of the whole Union,
for the last 10, has been but 80 per
cent, and that of New England but
little less than 10. Tha: of New York
was never greater than 70: of Maine.
SO; Illinois, $50; Indiana, 500; Mich.
gan, 764; Arkansas, 1914. The most
rapid Increase has, of course, been in
early settlements.
The population of the United States,
in 1910, is rated at 1900, 900. What
it will be hundred years hence 1t is
not easy to calculate. What it naay be.
however, is inferrable from the fact,
that our territory is immensely exten.
slve; and that vast amount of rich
land is yet unoccupied; that lands now
cultivated may be made vastly more
productive; that large portion Of our
country is under tropical climates; and
that if the whole country should sup.
port but $50 inhabitants to q square
mile, as England now does, we should
have, as the editor of the Register oh.
serves, more than four hundred end
fifty millions. --BoSt. Mer. Jour.
