A HUMAN HIVE.
New York Has the Most Tricky Popu-
lated Spot on Earth.


lated Spot on Earth.
New York Sun.
One square mile of New York city's area,
inclusive of streets and public squares, has
a population Of more than $4,000. 1t is
possible to plat on the map an Irregular dis
trict, covering the territory of square
mile. which will have population of half
million, but to do that one has to zigzag
over the map, picking out thickly populated
blocks. 1t not possible to plat an area with
a population of more than 10000 living in
compact and contiguous territory. That
population of more than $50, coo to n square
mile is not exceeded anywhere else. Ii is
the most thiekly populated spot on earth.
No known form of habltati0n will hold
more people than the lower-class lodgi ng
houses and cheap tenements on the east side
and the west side between Ninth and Twelfth
avenues. Neither Chinatown in San Fran
cisco, the lower quarters of an ASiatic city,
nor the slumS of London or Paris, will hold
so many people to the acre, because three
and four story buildings are comparatively
rare in either place, while fiye-story tene-
ment Is seldom known. In the poorer quar-
ters of London the owners spend little
money on improvements when they are not
compelled by the health authorities, because
any expenditure for Improvements would
have to come out of their income at first,
and they do not want their incomes cur
tailed.
The most densely populated square mile
in New York does not include Five Points
and Chinatown. 1t might be made to zigzag
over to the Tombs. taking in Pell and
DOyers streets. the Mulberry Bend, and
Baxter Bay. but Paradise Park, the Tombs,
the new Criminal Courthouse, and the nu-
merous intersecting streets in that neigh
borhood take up so much of the space that
the section is not so thickly populated as
that near Stanton and RvingtOD streets,
where Avenue C begins and down Pitt,
side streets which stop at Houston street.
Close by Houston street and Avenue G is
the most thickly settled block. with an area
Of population of more than a million to the
mile.

hillside with two 0rderies, raped at the
door OF the Galla Kutta Mullah's hut, and
told him quietly to step out and be tied up
for safe transport That same young man
passed on through the huts, tapping here
one cateran, and there another lightly with
his cane and as each was pointed out, so
he was tied up, staring hOpelessly at the
crowned heights around where the English
soldiers looked down with incLrious eyes.

in that district not counting the squares

in the Fourteenth District, 81 in the
Twelfth, so in the Tenth, sc in the Eighth,

A. 1913; Twelfth, 81, 148; Fourteenty, 38006 !;
making total of more than $4,000.
The Twelfth and Eighth districts average
1900 PEOPLE to the block, while the highest
average population to the block is in the
Fourteenth District, around Tompkins
square. The largest number OF people
around TOmpkins square is accounted for by
the larger size of the blocks, as they are all
avenue blocks from $50 to 700 feetin length,
while further downtown the blocks are not
two-thrds that size. The most densely
populated neighborhood is at the upper part
of the Sixth District and at the lower part of
the Tenth District. around RiVingtOn, Stan
ton and Houston streets.

MEXIC0'S SHIP RAILWAY.
The Old Tehuantepec Project Revived
Under New Auspices.
New York sun

Under New Auspices.
New York sun.
Mexico has not yet given up her hope of
competing with Nicaragua and Colombia
to furnish the ship route of the future be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific. The
disadvantage in breadth under which the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec labors is very
great, when it comes 10 a question Of cut
ting a canal; but MeXcO's project is TO
substitute the device of ship railway. If
vessels can be safely raised out of the
water, placed on a cradle, run by locomo-
tive engines along q track, and then low
cred again into the sea, a few miles more
of track is a matter of minor consequence.
The revived project has been taken mp by
Messrs. COTthell. HampsOn, d StanhOpe,
of whom the first named has been for some
time employed by Mexico IN making harbOr
improvements. IL is said that the Govern
ment has S20O0,OO0 ready as a subsidy for
company bold enough to undertake this
work.
OF course with the Nicaragua project so
well advanced, an attempt TO compete for
interOceanic traffic by a ship railway at
Tehuantepec Is more heavily handicapped
now than 1t was ten years ago, when Mr..
James Il. Eads was at the head of the en-
terpTiSe But as an Offset it would hardly
fear a rival in the Panama project which
was then going on busily, with a large sup.
ply of funds.
Admiral Ammen, who TO be sure. could
not be considered an uDpTejudiced authority,
being at the head of rival enterprise, con-
sidered ii fatal objection TO the project of
Mr.. Eads that the height of the lowest
mountain pass was 754 feet and the grade,
az the maximum, 100 feet per mile. One
cut proposed had a depth Of 312 feet and a
base of 2j00, requiring the excavation of
about 100000 cubic yards. which would
cost about S6,000000 and occupy six years
Mr.. Eads' own estimate of the total cost
of the railway was S72, 000000, but its op-
ponents thought this very far below the
real expense. On the other side, it was
urged that, by a few turns, the heavy
grades, deep cuts and costly filings men
TONED by Admiral Ammen would be
avoided; but the latter says that this could
only be done by an enormous turntable, OF
vast cost, on account OF its foundations.
1t is also asserted that since curves cannot
be used as on an ordinary railroad, several
such turntables would be required.
However, in order to obtain any true idea
of the practcabiIity of a Tehuantepec rail
way. it Will be necessary first TO have the
route carefully laid out. and then it will be
seen what peaks are to be avoided and what
grades TO be overcome. The start would
perhaps be, as in the Eads scheme. from the
head OF navigation on the COatZacoalcos,
with terminus on the Pacific in the region
OF Salina Cruz or La VentOsa.
