This is ono of the most interesting insti-
tutionS in the world, The site which it now
occupies was for more than seven hundred
years that of monastery, which for short
time, at the beginning of its existence, was
known as the abbey, but which later be-
came the royal priory of Saint Martin de,
Champs, a title which it retained till its
suppression in 1890 Its foundation dates
as far back MS the year 1860.
In l775 Vaucanson formed the first public
collection OF machines, instruments and
tools for the instruction of the industrial
classes He beQueathed his collection to
the government and it formed the germ Of
the present museum.
In 1906 the minister of the interior organ
lied at the Conseryatoire school for Young
pupils, who were chosen from all parts Of
the country, but particularly from among
the working class. This school was very
successful, having in the year 1901 some
800 pupils. The course of instruction com
prised arithmetic, elementary geometry,
weights and measures, states, descriptive
geometry, joining, mechanics and their ap-
plcation to art instruments and machines,
linear, figure, ornamental, mechanical and
dICultcVluIal uIaWlnE anu COlOrlnE.
The creation by the city of Paris of good
schools of design in almost every quarter
of the city had the effect of so far diminish.
ing the attendance at this school, that it
was closed in 1874, in order to devote more
attention to higher subjects. AT present the
Conseryatoire gives instruction in the fol-
lowing branches: Geometry applied to art
descriptive geometry; mechanics applied to
art, civic constructions; physics applied to
art; general chemistry in its relations to in.
dustry, industrial chemistry; chemistry ap.
piled to dyeing, ceramics and glass man
ufacturing; agricultural and analytical
chemistry; agriculture, agricultural works,
and engineering spinning and weaving,
political economy and industrial legislation
and industrial economy and statistics. For
the last thirty years the service and admin
istration of weights and measures has been
conlidcd to the Conservatoire by the gov
crnment, and here now may be seen and
studied, with every facility for thorough
comprehension of the same, every form Of
weight and measure in present use in the
world over, and samples or models of many
of the ancient weights and measures, so
important to the MISUNDERSTANDING In
ter Ocean.

How We Are Growing.

The population of the United States is in,
crcasing more rapidly than at any former
period in its history, through the continued
heavy influx of immigrants from Europe
The British Cyclopedia estimates the popu
lation of this country for the year 1900, al
100,000,000, which will require an annual
gain of two and a half millions during the
next twenty years, or one hundred per
cent. With continuance of anything lik,
the present rate of immigration there car
be little doubt that the population o.
the country Will have easily doubled itsel
in twenty years. AS an addition to the
wealth aud productive power of the coun
try, the introduction of new elements upor
so large scale into the life of nation must
be hailed with satisfaction, except perhap,
by the limited few who have grave doubts
as to whether whether we shall be able tc
assimilate or digest so large foreign ole
mont. But our past experience ought tc
quiet all fears on that score.
