Eulogistic Resolutions.

Eulogistic Resolutions.
CAMP PERRY, FLA, Aug. 23.-On the
occasion of the departure of Surgeon Gen
eral Hamilton from the camp, the refugees
met and passed resolutions heartily thank
ing DR.. Hamilton for his uniform kindness,
courtesy and attention and indorsing Camp
Perry, declaring it unexcelled by any mill
tary camp in the country The resolutions
were presented by Rev. DR.. Roche at the
station, where the refugees had assembled
in body as DR.. Hamilton was about to
take the train. The surgeon general was
visibly moved at these expressions of appre-
citation of his services, and made a brief ad-
dress in reply.
THE SPEECH.
He said i'll part:
am deeply touched by your sympathy and
kindness l am all the more sensible Of this
because OF unjust criticisms directed against
me In my official capacity and attacks upon my
private charaeter. These commenced when
announced the presence of yellow fever in
Florida last spring. AS matter of fact the
presence of fever IN this state was reported
by me to the governor nearly or quite two
weeks before made any public announcement
of it. That that statement was true, the fact of
the establishment of this camp and that we are
here to-day in this pine wood, too well attests.
But that is all past now, and let il be forgot
ten and forgiven. When l came here and
nOlSt6Q our dear OLD nag over this
camp, |, as the government representative.
felt that wanted every man. woman and child
coming here to know that they were no longer
poor, .panic-stricken, fever-hunted refugees,
but welcome guests Of our common country.
The warm, ruddy stripes of the banner which
floats above us, are emolematical Of our chris
tian love for its children, and each star in that
sacred field represents a state, every one Of
which must be protected when in distress and
suffered for, if need be. These sentiments,
know, actuate the officers of the service whom
l leave in charge thank you, ladies and gen
temen, for your courtesy, and, in saying fare
well. l assure you that you have made it a diff
cult word to speak
After general hand-shaking, which in
cluded all the children at the camp, the
leave-taking was over, and the train moved
away.

NO. u
Population of the World.

Professor Levasseur, the eminen:
/ statistician. estimates the population
Of the world o. l,4S3 100000. Hs
has faith in the substantial accuracy
of the recent estimates Of the popula.
tion of China and Japan, based upon
the latest official reports. There has
been considerable controversy with
regard to the population of these
countries. and the opinion Of Sir r.
A'cock, Sir Rawson Rawson aud
other statistitians that China contains
about 400, 900, 900 people will derive
considerable weight from the fact
that Professor Levasseur has reachod
the same conclusion. The statisti-
clans who do not think the Chinese
estimates are far from correct, base
their opinions upon a comparison of
the Chinese census returns of the last
and the present centuries aud upon
the ratio of population to area in
other countries,
Those persons who imagine that
the conditions of savage life are IN.
favorable to density of population
may be surprised to learn that the
latest estimates give Africa a popu.
lation of l6 and North America only
S.8 to the square mile. While our
continent is known to have SO,000,-
600 people, the population of Africa,
according to Professor Levasseur,
approximates 1917 100000. The re-
suits of this comparison are not very
surprising when the fact is borne in
mind that Africa is nearly oue-third
larger than this continent, and that
while about a third part of North
America is almost uuinhabitatle, no
considerable part of Africa lacks pop
ulation. Even the Sahara has many
thousands of inhabitants, and the
density of population in the large
areas of equatorial Africa surpasses
anything known until quite recently
among savage peoples
One reason why Africa has absorb.
ed so much of the exploratory zeal of
civilized nations while South Ameri-
ca hes been comparatively neglected,
may doubtless be found it the fact
that Africa far surpasses our south
ern sister in population, and in her
great undeveloped districts offers far
larger inducements to commerce than
similar regions in South America.
While Africa contributes over 13 per
cent of the population of the world.
South America supplies only little
over 2 per cent, and the density of
population in the dark continent is
over three times that 10 South Amer
lea.
While the contribution of Europe
to the land surface of the globe is less
than one-half as great as that OF
North America, her population is
over four times as numerous.
