Il is capable Of mathematical demon
STATION that the people of THIS globe will
one day have to confront the problem Of
over population The earth will have
more people upon ii Iban it can provide
for.
LIT Us look at the mater moment
The total area Of the earth's surface is
in round numbers. 200 coo. 90 square
nltles. Threc-four,hs Of this is water
and Ouly 5p.OO0.O 900 squire miles is
land. 1t Is not far out Of the way to say
that onc-half Of this is practically uniu-
habiiailc. 1t is taken up By the polar
regions, the deserts, mount .insus tracts,
ETC.. whore it is impossible for man to
subsist from the products of the soil -
Hence ouly one-eirhth of the earth 5
surface Is 900 OOO square miles-is
available as a habitation for civilized
man
The "Bevolkerung der Erbe" gives
the latest estimate Of the worlds ctal
population as | .479,729, 400. If these
we're equally distributed over the habitl-
bic surface of the globe, there would be
about So persons to every square mile
What is the maximum number Of per
IONS who can be supported on each
square mile? Remember, the earth
must furnish food and clothing and fuel
and habitations. The sea will furnish a
portion Of the food, but the main lepen
dence must be upon the products Of ,..e
laud, not Of the water. The United
States has Il persons to the square mile
hut Alaska. and vast regions in the
mountlins aud in the West can never be
inhabited Rhode Island, our most
deusely populated State, has 3ls persons
to tie square nile; Great Britain and
ireland, 3ll; England alone, 1870; the
Netherlands, 357; and Belgium, the
most deusely populated country on the
globe. 5l6 persons to each square mile
Bel rum is already over crowded -
Nearly half her people are living in
poverty AMI wrttchelness She has
to buy food outside her own borders to
feed her people, paying for it in her
manufactured products. 1t is altogether
probable that 500 persons is the maxi
mum aumber that one square mile of
fertile aud well cultivotekland can main
tain. Aud when the fact is considered
that of the habitable portion, Of the earth
much Of the land is poor, it will be seen
that 400 is a liberal estimate.
We need but one factor to solve the
problem, when #ill this globe have all
the population it can support? That is,
tie ratio of increase of population. All
civilized countries are rapidly increasing
in iuh .bitants. Modern conditions have
increased the average length of life. as is
clearly proved by the experience of life
insurance companies for the past three
quarters Of a century. The birth rate
is greater than the death rate each year
1t is believed by many authori les that
the carth's population has doubled with
ia the past century.
