The Boston transcript thus groups to-
gether some statistics Of the kind which
almost everybody might know if any one
took time to think of them. Allowing
two square feet to each person, the entire
population Of Boston could stand on the
public garden, with a good deal of room
to spare. The entire population of the
United States could stand in Boston
proper (nOt including Brighton, Dor
chester and West ROxbury.) The entire
population Of the world (now estimated
at 40, ,00O,000) could stand on the
island Of Martha's Vineyard, or in the
space occupied by the towns Of Boston,
BrOOkline, Newton, Nccdham, Dedham,
Hyde Park and Milton. The state Of
Massachusetts, would in this way accom-
modatc seventy times the present popu-
ton of the world, placed side by side,
and allowing two feet to each person,
would encircle the earth twenty times.
The states of Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont, taken together, are as
large as England. Any one Of the
states Of Georgia, Illinois, Iowa and
North Carolina, is as large as England
Kansas is as large as England and Scot
land together. ireland is about the size
of Maine. France is more than twice
as large England, Wales and Scotland
together. Texas is thirty-tiye times as
large as Massachusetts, and as large as
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mas
sachUsetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Ohio and Indiana
combined. The entire population Of the
United States could be provided for in
the state ofTexas, allowing for each man,
woman and child, four acres of land.

IT is stated that France and England
have accepted Austria's view Of the
Bothschild loan that Rothschild must
redeem prior loans amounting to q, 400,-
600 in order to have first security on the
surrender of the Khedival estate. Aus
tria and Germany Will accept Anglo
French representatives in the commits
sion of liquidating, and resulting control
over Egyptian financial administration.
This agreement, if accomplished, removes
the thrcatenened hitch in the Anglo
French scheme The Porte and Sultan
are spending their whole time over the
reform question and the demands Of En-
gland The position Of the other powers
Is necessarily one Of reserve in the ques-
tioH which primarily concerns England
AMI Turkey, and in which marked inter
ference would tend to embroil rather
thaa clear matters. Still as regards
Aus. ria anffCtcrmunv, it may be taken
Scr granted that their influence is being
uXerted in support Of the demand for
beginning reforms as well as toward pre-
venting any collision. As to joining
eventually in measures Of coercion, no
invitation has yet been addressed to these
powers. In this respect there has, there
fore, been no occasion for giving an opin-
ion on the subject The French and
Italian Cabinets are more than usually
reserved on the question, while the Rus
sian attitude in a difference between En-
Gland and Turkey cannot for a moment
be doubted. Differences of that kind
have always been regarded by Russia as
most eHicieHt lever for promoting her
political designs il Turkey lever sure

but cumbercrs Of the ground. 1t Is c=tl-

Of the waste was to be pressed into bricks
fit for use as fuel, but the expense Of
manufacturing Is greater than the profit

however, a locomotive has been con-

without any special preparation, except
