DepOpulation Of the South.


According to the official census of Alabama,
taken last year, the population of that State
is about $4,000 less thau it was in ls60.--
from the time Alabama was admitted into
the Union in 1919, up to 1850, the popula-
tiou had been steadily increasing, at the rate
of about per cent. per annum, at which
rate there would hare been now 100000
instead of which the census shows only e4b-
600. The total loss to Alabama, according
to the above figures, is about a quarter of a
millionaire present population being SC
much less than it would have been had
not the war interrupted its growth. Sup
pose all the Southern States TO have been
subjected to the same depopulatng influence:
the aggregate loss of population would
amount to over 2,000,0 900, and this estimate
is probably under the mark, than over it,
The causes of this falling off, are various

The Air we Breathe


Malakoif, Paris correspondent of the New
York Times, tells an interesting aud fright
full story about the quality Of the air breath
ed in theatres aud other close houses contain
lag a thousand oil more persons. a chemist
made an analysis Of the air breathed by such
persons.
He carried into theatre at ten o'clock at
night bottle of ice placed on plate, and
then collected the vapor which rapidly con-
densed on the outside Of the bottle and tiow-
ed down on to the plate. AT first this yapor
thus collected had the smell, the taste, aud,
50 far as could be determined every chemi-
cal quality belonging to the waters of the
most deadly fever marshes. Under the mi-
croscope, this water was at first clear, but
soon, that is to say in week, it was found
TO be full of animalculae. A little. later
on these animalculae had grown, aud the
big ones were seen pursuing and deyouring
the little ones. Still later on, at the end oil
two months, the water was thick with ami
malculuae; various forms were seen, and
still the work Of destruction was going on
At last, but three hideous monsters wer,
seen-microscopic monstele, of course, since
they were contained in drop of water
and these were still fighting To see whicl
could deyour the other. At the end Of thre'
months the water became clear and mias
matte again.
