size Of the Russian empire.

When the Revolutionary war closed
there were only two cities in the Uni
ted States that had 20, 600 inhabitants
Philadelphia and New York. Now
there are l75. Philadelphia was the
largest city in the country until 1910,
when New York passed it.
Kentucky is in the latitude of Sici-
ly, but while Sicily is semi-tropical,
the Ohio river at Louisville, a mile
wide there, has been frozen over 80
solidly a number of times, the latest
in the winter of 1892, that loaded wa
CONS crossed on il. Even the Danube
many hundreds of miles north of Sici-
ly, has not been frozen over in this
manner since ancient times.
The center Of population in the
United States is feS miles south of
Columbus, Ind. BY "center of popu-
lation we mean that If north and
souta line and an east aud west line
we're drawn through that place, the
same number of people would live in
each OF the four sections thus produ-
ced.
Delaware, next to the smallest state
in the Union, is almost exactly the
size of Prince Edward Island, in the
Gulf of st. Lawrence, which consti-
tutes province of the Dominion of
Canada. Eacn has about POO square
miles. Texas is nearly seventy times
as large as both put together.
Until recently, it was believed that
Mt. Whitney, in California, $4,000
feet high, or 900 feet less than Mont
Blanc, was the highest mountain in
the United States outside of Alaska,
but it is believed now that there are
peaks in California, and probably III
Colorado, $1,000 feet high. But even
at IL, 900 feet our highest mountain
would be 1900 feet less than Aconca-
qua, the highest known mountain in
South America.
While Lake Superior is the largest
fresh water lake in the world, it is on
ly one sixth the size of the Caspian
sea, in Asia, which is really salt wa
ter lake, as it is entirely surrounded
by land. Lake Michigan has beer

FACTS AB0UrOl'R COT NTRY

If Texas were as thickly populated
as Massachusetts,, it would have so,
600, 900 people; if as thickly popuIa-
ted as New York, it would have 3S,-
600, 600 people.
There are now mcse people IN New
York State than there were in Eng
land in Queen EliIabeth's time, and
nearly as many as there we're in the
elder Pits time.
The inhabitants Of the two Dakotas
boast that they could produce enough
wheat to feSd all Europe, if the de
mand and price justified it. They are
probably right.
When the civil war began there
were only two cities west o. the Mis-
-issippi that had $4,000 inhabitants,
ST. Louis and san Francisco. Now
there are fifteen.
The United States is the greatest
mineral producing country on earth,
though So far as the precious metals
are concerned Australia is becoming n
formidable rival.
The Mississippi is about thirteen
times is long as the Thames, the big
gcst nyer in England, and nearly five
times as long as the Rhine, the most
famous river in Eirope.
The waters of the Great Salt Lake
in Utah are rendered so dense by i'm
mense quantities Of salt that mans
body will scarcely sink ia them. Ba-
hers come out of the lake covered
with crust Of salt.
By the last census one fourth of tic
people Of the United States lived
west of the Mississippi. The United
States west of the Mississippi is two
and a quarter times rs big as the
United States east of the Mississippi.
The greatest corn producing State
in the Union is Iowa. The leadership
lil wheat Auctuates between Califor
MIA, Kansas, North Dakota, Minneso
Ia, llin, aud Indiana. Kentucky
always leads in tobacco and Texas in
cotton.
there is no way to compare the cir
mate of the United States with that
of Western Europe, because here the
summers are much hotties and tn
winters are much colder. The climate
of the United States is more like tina
that of Russia.

the United States larger than Canad
and even with Alaska it does not ex

STORM IN ENGLAND.

Many Wrecks on the Coast-People
Killed by Failing Buildings.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE channel and
British coast has again been swept by a
heavy storm. A number of wrecks are
reported, but SO far no loss of life.
Telegraph poles are down and commune
cation is interrupted.
Reports hourly from the west and
north tell of great damage to houses,
churches and factories last night. 1t is
estimated that at least dozen people
were killed.
At Leeds the hurricane was severe
and five persons were injured. A ferry
boat was sunk at Wildwood, being cap
sized by the wind. The wind and floods
have caused the suspension of business
at Coole. Shipping has been greatly
damaged at Ayr, Greenock and else
where in Scotland. At Dudley, steam
tram car was blown over, injuring the
conductor and many others. A train on
the Midland railway turned over and
the Syston mail train collided with it,
damaging the engine and coaches enten-
sively.
Rumors from Amsterdam are received
to the effect that the Netherlands-Amer
lean steamer OLDHAM from Rotterdam,
February Sd for New York, has been
wrecked off Hoeckschwaard. South Hol-
land. Officers OF the company say the
OLDHAM cannot have been at Hoeck-
Hchwaard.

cowboy, who was with Buffalo Bill at the
worlds fair, was discovered by party
of hunters early this morning. dead,
under his house. At Anadarko two In
dian pupils were foud yesterday buried
under a snow bank. Upon being taken
to the house one OF the children imme-
diately expired. The other shows signs
of recovery. This evening report
reached here that family named Sears,
near Woodward, was found frozen to
death, but no particulars are obtained.
Word comes from Cross that Sherman
Stone and family, consisting OF his wife
and five children, were found sitting
about the stove with their threats cut
from ear to ear. The following note,
found on table near by the stove, gives
a horrible story of murder and suicide
in connection with the storm:
"Wood all gone; Mollie frozen to
death; rest of us freezing. have killed
my family and now kill myself to pre-
vent further suffering. God have mercy
on u.s.
Stone was homesteader and lived in
tent. 1t is thought that after the
snow melts hundreds of dead settlers
will be found, along with the remains
OF thousands OF cattle.

Ended After Great Fall of Snow,
BIOckading Trains.
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 12.-The blizzard
in Nebraska ended this morning. The
Missouri Pacific, owing to the great fall
of snow, had much trouble in getting
trains through, but the worst is over
and six trains will be run regularly to-
morrow. Train No. l, which should
have arrived early this morning, was
held at Leavenworth over night and left
that city at a. M, arriving in Omaha
tonight. Train No. 2. which left at 10
o'clock last night, was held at Baker,
Kan, on account OF freight train en-
quilted in the snow south of that point.
The Nebraska local, held at Weeping
Water, did not get into Omaha until l
o'clock, four hours after scheduled time.
Passenger train No. 8 left for the south
at noon with two engines, which will
probably pull it through on time. One
of the freight trains that should have
gone out last night was held over, but
went out this morning to break the
way. A gang OF men are at work OPEN
ing up the track for the train standing
near Superior, Neb. The Belt line was
not affected by the blizzard. The Bur-
lington, Elkhorn and Union Pacific were
little hampered by snow, and their
trains are generally on time.

MILWAUKEE,, Feb. 12.-Swirling clouds
of snow, in which there have been but
one or two riffs since daylight. have
shut from view the house at the intake
tunnel, one mile from the shore of the
lake. In this building are 10 workmen,
at least there were Sunday night. There
ia considerable fear expressed that the
tragedy OF last spring may have been
repeated. At that time ii workmen were
caught in the air shaft under the water,
to which they went for safety when it
became apparent that the house would
be carried away. This afternoon at
O'Clock the dark outlines Of the crib
were plainly seen from the North point
pumping station. and at 10 80 tonight
white light was visible, which indicates
that the building is intact. though the

A GALE IN GERMANY.


Considerable Damage by a Storm In the
Fstherlsnd.
BERLIN, Feb. IA heavy gale has
been blowing in various parts of Ger
many for two days. AT Stettin the
wind was particularly severe. and
caused great deal of damage to prop
erty. The roof of the Stettin railway
station was partly wrecked, and the
supporting beams of the Stralau-Rum-
melsburg station were badly wrenched
and carried against the waiting hall,
the side of which was crushed in. An
official OF the Stettin station was seri-
ously injured. Considerable damage
was also done in the suburbs OF Stettin.
Telegraph service everywhere is inter-
rupted. Many buildings containing
valuable merchandise have sunk in the
Elbe at Hamburg. Several houses have
collapsed at Hamburg, killing two occu-
pants. The damage to property is i'm
mense. 1t is feared other fatalities will
be reported.

A wreck occurred on the Lake Shore
road at Seventy-ninth street, owing to

and several freight cars splintered.
On the streets collisions and accidents
were numerous. In many instances
pedestrians and vehicles were over

ton to the postoffice was badly dam
aged, the windows being blown in and
the glass roof shattered. Snow an inch
deep covered the floor and water soft
ened the plaster and caused it to fall.

wave swooped down on the territory,
sending the mercury down to the zero
mark again. Suffering throughout Ok
lahoma and Indian territory must be
great. Nothing can be learned, owing
to the severe weather and the condition
OF the roads. Trains due Sunday
have not yet arrived. Three are showed
in between Red Rock and Cross, and as
the country is not we'll watered or tim
bered, TO say nothing of provisions, the
passengers are certainly in precariouH
