FOUND WITH HIS WIFE AND BABIES,
comes as wide as the sea and as fruitful OF
answers as the problems of metaphysics.
The first and chief practical reason is be-
cause so many human beings are packed
into limited area that the natural and
artificial resources of the locality will not
support life in decency and comfort An
illustration of this fact is seen in the pro-
digious increase in the tenement house dis
trict of New York city during the past
twenty-one years.
In 1869 there were Il, S72 tenements, with
a population of 45S, 1872 persons. In 1879 the
number of tenements was estimated at
q, 900, and their tenants had passed the
half million mark. In 1888 the tenement
houses had increased to g., $50, with popu-
lation of 1893 701 souls At the present
time there are 1886 tenements, and their
population is over 1,250, 900. These stats
tics, it is safe to assume, hold good, accord
ing to the ratio of population, in all the
great cities in the United States. If one
inquiries into the causes of this overcrowd-
ing he shall find that big city is like an
enormous electric light, sending its rays all
over the world. What wonder, then, that
the human moths are attracted to it, and
that many of them fly into the city like
birds against the thick glass of light
house tower, only to perish 1t is only
human instinct after all. What man Is
there who has walked down Pennsylvania
avenue in Washington, the gay Chestnut
