On examing the field glasses used at
the Observatory on Mount Arie, situated
near the summer resorts, West Baden and

the field glasses had an impression of

1t must have been caused by lightning,
as the glass was lett OH the upper plat

can Descent Only 13. 81 Per Cent.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The census Office

on the subject of the cOlored
population of the United States in 1890.
The bulletin shows that the colored pop
ulation as returned under the census of
1890 is 1858, $50. OF this number,
7,470. .040 are pers ms of African descent,
107, AIS are Chinese, 2,039 japanese, and
1905 civilized Indians.
Considering persons of African descent
it is seen that there has been an increase
during the decade from 1880 to 1899 of
SS9,2 or 1881 per cent, rs against an
increase during the decade from 1870 to
1880 Of I, 700, 7S4 or 34.S5 per cent. The
bulletin says: "Thc abnormal increase of
the colorcd population of the South dur
ing the decade ending in 1880 led TO the
popular belief that the negro was in
crcasing ut much greater rate than the
white population. The present census
has shown, however, that the high rate
/, 81 increase in tho coIorcd population, as
shown by theiccnssis0f l6s0S Gas at,par-
ent only, and was due to the imperfect
enumeration of 1870 in the Southern
States"
There has been an increase in the num-
Der of Chinese in the United States dur.
ing the decade from 1880 to 1890 of only
2,010, 1874 per cent the number re-
turned in 1880 being 1O5, 4G5, and the
number returned in 1890 being i37 ,475.
The Chinese increased 6S.8S per cent.
from 1870 to $780, and S0.91 per cent.
from 1860 to 1870.
In 1880 the japanese in the United
States numbered only 14s, while in 1890
they numbered 2,O29. In 1870 there were
only 55 japanese returned under that
census
