NEW YORK. Feb. l7.-Todays stock market

these, only two, Sugar and st. Paul, dis
played any activity, the other three, Distill'
ing. Chicago Gas and Burlington & Quincy,
| being traded In only to the extent of between
5000 and 1000 shares. The transactions in
only three other stocks exceeded one thous-

Pacific did not enter into the dealings at all
and there was only one sale each Of Rock
Island and Louisville and Nashville,
The general market was therefore without
feature and the only change of Importance
therein is decline of IA per cent in rubber,
and an advance Of per cent respectively In
Linseed oil and Delaware and Hudson.
Sugar opened a per cent higher, but began
to decline at once on heavy selling which was
largely on orders from Chicago. which led to
the suspicion that insiders were endeavoring
to cover their tracks. Washington advices of
morning were unfavorable inasmuch as they
stated no definite decision had been reached
on the Sugar schedule. A decline Of ~ per
cent was effected with only one fractional
rally in the intervening time. and though a
slightly better feeling prevailed in the final
dealings, the sale made a recover OF OF only
% per cent. Private dispatches were received
subsequently, reporting the committee had
agreed upon graded duty more favorable to
the sugar interests than was expected. A
slight bear demonstration was made against
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, which had
advanced n per cent in the opening trading,
causing decline of q per cent without re-
cOvery, The liquidation in Distilling caused
decline of rs per cent. st. Paul moved up

The Giant of the stars.

figures relative to the dimensions of
Jupiter the titan of the solar system.
Outside our system, however. in the

earth alongside of the giant the former
would look like bird shot and the lat

Arcturus, the star in question. is SO
far away that figures convey no def
mite idea of the immense distance. We
speak of our sun as though It were an
unthinlable distance from the earth.

space which separates us from the gil

THE RURAL HEGIRA TC CITIES
All the World Over the People Arc Flock.
ing to the Towns.

| ing to the Towns.
One of the remarka BILE social features
OF this era is the large and constant
| movement of population from the coun-
try to the cities, movement that tends
to rural depopulation 1t is not con-
fined to any country, or any part of the
| earth, but is most marked in the Oldest
and most thickly populated countries
of Europe. 1t is also movement Of
considera BILE Importance in this hemis.
phere, and in the newest of civilized
countries, Australia. 1t is best stated,
perhaps, as disproportionate growth
OF towns, to the extent that in the past
thirty or forty years there has been an
actual diminution of the rural popula-
In the greater portion of Europe and
IN many parts of this continent and
Australia.
Perhaps this movement has been
most marked in Great Britain and Ire
land The migration of popula tion
from the rural districts to towns was
first apparent in Wales in 1851. 1t did
not become of any Importance in En-
gland until some ten years later. Dur
ing the last twenty years eight counties
in England and three in Wales have
lost ten per cent. of their rural popula-
ton; that is, the rural population in
those counties to-day is ten per cent
less than it was twenty years ago. In
some districts particularly in the south
west of the kingdom, the decrease in
rural population is as high as twenty to
thirty per cent In Scotland the move
ment towards the towns began sixty
years ago, and parliamentary returns
show that the depopulation has been
much greater than in England and
Wales, but the precise percentage is
not stated. The highlands have suf-
fered most, but the lowlands have also
lost heavily. The returns quoted aver
that the formation of deer forests,
which necessitates the dispossession
and driving away wholesale of very
many families, has played no impor-
tant part in the depopulation of the
rural districts. This indicates that to
some deeper underlying cause must be
aScribed the great general exodus from
the rural regions.
The depopulation of Ireland has been
continuous and severe and general
throughout the country. 1t has not
been a rural depopulation only, but a
general emigration from both town
and country. 1t began before the great
famine of 1916, and has continued ever
since. But even in Ireland, with this
general decrease of the population as
whole, there has been a great in
crease in the population of many
towns. Belfast has increased remark
ably.
There seems to exist NOWADAYS on
the part of many rural-born persons
an aversion TO country life. and, il
would seem, an aversion that is spread
ing. Reasons to account for this are
plentiful, and will readily be con-
ceived. Whether there is any remedv,
and whether a remedy is required. are
other questions Y. Sun.
