THE 1nrAI INLAND CITY.
What Has Helped Chicago in Her Phe-
nomenaI Growth.

A generation ago, says the London
Spectator, America consisted of the
settled northeastern and southeastern
states and of the great expanse of
more or less wild continent behind
them. Year by year. however, the
population has been spreading west,
and every fresh census has pushed in
land the mean line of population
the line on either side of which the
population is equal. The significance
of this gradual withdrawal of the mean
population line from the coast must
not be missed. The fact means that
the Anglo-SaXons in the United States
are becoming what they have never
been before in their history, an inland
people.
In very little time the vast major
ity of Americans will not only have
never seen the sea, but will never have
been within a thousand miles of it. The
destiny of the American people is to be-
come as much people of great inland
plains as the Russians, and this fact
will be made clear to the world when
travellers leave the ocean at New
York, and after travelling inland over
thousand miles find themselves in
city as big as Vienna, and ten times as
rich and energetic.
The existence of great city so far
removed from the sea is probably
unique in the worlds history. Delhi
in the days of its greatest prosperity
had no doubt very large population,
but unless Moscow can be called great
we can recall no other great city of an
Gent or modern times situated in the
heart of continent. 1t may be said
that Chicago is an exception only in
name, and that it could never have
achieved the position it has achieved
but for the fact that it is situated on
the shores of great double-armed in
land sea. No doubt the great lakes
have helped Chicago, and no doubt
also the fact that they require from
the populations which surround them
all the sea-faring qualities of the Eng
lish race will prevent its inhabitants
from becoming too inlandish in their
habits.
Chicago, however, is not enough in
the middle of the continent to hold
forever the position of the typical
American city. AS the center of popu-
lation shifts westward her relative po-
sition will decline, and she will ulti-
mately have to give way to some
younger rival in the west and south,
possessed of a geological position more
suited to the commercial capital of a
nation of some two hundred millions
of inland people. Still, as we have said
above, Chicago for the time will serve
as an object lesson in regard to the
great change which has come over the
conditions under which the American
continent is inhabited.

Few boys have ever shown as great
talent for art at as early an age as Edwin
Landseer.
Genius ran in his family His father,
John Landseer. was one of the greatest en-
grdVerS of his time; an uncle and two older
brothers Of Edwin were exhibitors at the
Royal Academy, and three of his sisters
were skilful artists.
Edwin born IN 1892, was the youngest son
and fifth child in this family of seven.
when he was very little boy his father
encouraged him to draw and taught him
himself From the very beginning his faith
er set him to drawing from nature. AS
soon as Edwin could hold a pencil with
steadiness. he was sent into the fields with
some older persons to sketcn horses, goats
and donkeys.
His fathers house in London was on a
great walk from Hampstead heath. once,
long after Edwin had become known as
great artist, his father, pointing to two
fields in the neighborhoOd of the heath, said:
."These two fields were EdWn's first studio.
Many a time have L lifted him over this
stie This was favor1te walk
with nv boys, and one day, when | accom-
panied them, Edwin stopped by this stlie to
admire some sheep and COWS that we're
quietly grazing. AT his request | lifted him
over, and, finding a scrap OF paper ana
penc1 in my pocket, l made him sketch d
cow. He wGs very young indeed then-not
more than SIX or seven years OlC
In later years this atfectiOnate father
was proud to show a large collection OF
early sketches by his son, some OF which
were made at as early an age as hVe
years.
I1s earliest works show that from the
first he thoroughly understood the nature or
animals. They were not simply good things
for a little BOY to have done, but works
that man might have been proud Of One
of these early paintings, "a Scotch Terrier
with Rat i'll His Mouth" though only i've
inches long and four inches broad, was sold
forty years ago for $40, and good critic
has said that if offered for sale now it
would bring more than 81 600.
A mature artist is pleased to be called a
good etcher. but Edwin Landseer at eight
years of age made etchings of a fine quality.
One of them, The Head of an ASS shows
the beast biting sideways at some large
leaves with one eye regarding the specta-
tor and the other looking down, as is the
: apit of these animals. At ten years of age
re young artist began to etch groups of
finals, chiefly COWS and sheep.

Lifts its veil of bitter tears, and hopes 8
