The Center of Population.

For several weeks an expert zeal.
culator' has been at work in the census
office figuring out the location of the
center of population of the United
States. 1t is not an easy task, as one
can imagine who gives the matter 4
little thought. The whole territory is
divided up into small squares. and the
population ascertained Tor each square.
This is arrived at by consulting the
populatiennf each civil district. town
ship or ward. The squares are made
to balance against each other until
common center is ascertained. An
expert calculator has already been en-
gagged more than month in this work.
and another month viii be required
before the true center is known. The
work has progressed far enough. how
ever, to show that the center will be
very near Cincinnati, certainly not over
four or live miles from the business
center OF the city, A few weeks ago il
was thought the center would make a
final landing" upon the hills which
encircle Cincinnati to the northward.
but progressive calculations now indi-
cate that if will cross the Ohio River
and establish itself on the south side.
This is owing TO the unexpected increase
of population in the South, which will
cause the center" TO shift further south
ward than heretofore.
