Population of American Cities.

The proportion between males and
females in the cities of the United
States exhibited in the recent census
bulletins differs SO greatly from the pro-
portion between them in the whole
country that the figures are remarkable.
In the whole country there is an excess
of nearly a million males. The precise
figures are: Males, IS, SIS $40; females,
81 636, 963. But in almost all the cities
this proportion is reversed. There are
forty.iive cities of more than forty thou
sand inhabitants, and IN all but nine the
females outnumber the males. The
nine are Chicago, ST. Louis, San Fran
cisco, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Kansas
City, Columbus, Minneapolis and St.
Paul-ali of them in the Mississippi
Valley OF beyond it. In New York the
figures females, $50, ,5l4 females,
615, 1856; in Philadelphia, males. 405,-
975; females, AL, 1876 u, in Brooklyn,
males, 272 24S; females, 294. AIS: in
Boston, males, 172 ,26S; females. 190,-
57l, and in Baltimore, males, 157. 1893 !:
females, ia 900.
OF the nine exceptions San Francisco
is the most noticeable. the proportion
there being-males, l32, COS; females,
101 351; and probably SO great differ
ence Is attributable mainly to the Chi
nese section of the inhabitants. Next
in popularity is Kansas City, with 81,
999 males and only %, 1856 females. In
the other six the difference is small,
running from 9,625 in Chicago, with a
population of 503, 1876, down to only
000 in C1avaland with a NOM tinn Of
100, 146. Superfcially it may occur to
some minds that the great American
cities all offer attractions which should
induce an excess of male population.
These figures, however, show the re-
verse. The chief causes of the discrep-
ancy are to be sought in the larger en-
ployment of females than males in
household service and in the continually
increasing engagement of females in
mercantile and manufacturing pursuits.

The New AppOrtiOnment.

Should the plan of apportionment en-
bodied in the McCord bill and reported
by the House Census Committee be
adopted the House of Representatives
would be enlarged from two hundred
and ninety-three to three hun 1red and
twenty members and the ratio of repre-
sentation increased from 13l, 425 to
154, 2S5 inhabitants. The result of this
addition of twenty-seven members and
OF the shifting of old ones from one
State to another would be to give twen-
ty-one States more and five States fewer
Representatives than they now have.
Arkansas, California, Georgia, Ken
lucky, Massachusetts,, Mississippi, Mis-
soui, New York. North Caro- ina, Ohio,
South Carolina, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia would each gain one Representa-
tive; Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Mime
sofa, Nebraska and Pennsylvania two !;
Kansas three, and Texas four. Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode IS
land and Florida would each lose one
Representative. It is worth of note
that all the loss ses fall upon New Eng
land States except in the case of Florida.
The South would gain ten and the rest
of the country seventeen Representa-
tives.
The new apporiionment is based on a
method devised by Mr.. Seaton, the
present superintendent of the census, to
avoid the errors and anomalies of the
rule heretofore followed. The new does
what the old did not always do it ap-
portions Representatives according to
population with the highest degree of
accuracy attainable By this change
the representation of six States is af-
fected Had the old method been re-
tanned IN making the proposed appor-
tionment of three hundred and twenty
members, says the New York Herald,
California would have been entitled to
six, Florida two, Illinois twenty, New
York thirty three, Pennsylvania twenty
eight and Rhode Island two. The new
plan gives California five, Florida one,
Illinois twenty one, New York thirty
four, Pennsylvania twenty nine and
Rhode Island one. The effect of the
change is to take one Representative
each from California, Florida and Rhode
Island, and to add one each to New
York, Pennsylvania and Illinois.

The First Forgery.

The defaulting bank cashier, Bald
win, of Newark, N. J., has been SEN
fenced to the safe seclusion of the Jer-
sey Penitentiary for the next fifteen
years He answered guilty to ell the
indictments against him, and thus saved
the State the expense of trial. Bald
wins fate should be warming to bank
officials who hold large financial trusts.
When he began his plundering he had
no idea of making away with millions OF
dollars or of closing his career IN the
cell of felon. He was O respectable
member of society he welded a vast
Influence financially and commercially.
He belonged to the church, had home
and friends, and the ties of family and
children. His fate, like that of hum
dreds in the same circumstances, shows
that one step in wrong-doing is inevita-
bly, followed by another. The first
forgery always impels the forger to a
second one. Baldwin's picture in prison
garb should be hung in the office of
every banking house. N. y. HerGld.

the fact that greater care is taken of
young fish than of children iii that city.
For while more than half the children
die before the age of five, the Fish Com
missioners say that only about two per
cent. of the spawn of shad or salmon are
destroyed Perhaps this is owing to the
fact that SO many New Workers like
shad or salmon much better than they
like children. Detroit Free Press.

A Menacing Comet.

brief, is that the comet seen in the

that the period of revolution t.. the
comet has been greatly reduced. ami
that it i, likely 10 reapprar about 1917:
that it has already passed through the

it is likely To fall into the sun. Proc
tor idea is that if 4 biz comet Should

immense momentum into hea, would

living thing upon the earth conll sur
