ALIENS IN LARGE CITIES.
1t Is in the great cities. though that the
aliens love to congregate, and the statistics of
forei2n-born population reveal some rather
astonishing facts. Everyone knows. for ex-
ample. that the foreign element of New York
city is very large, but one is hardly prepared
for the information that nearly one-half OF the
people OF the metropolis Of the country were
born in other lands. The total population Of
New York is 5.J0f; the alien population Is
$50 .9i3 An equally large proportion OF the peo-
pie Of Chicago are of foreign birth. 450,656 out

country. There are 81 ,s35 Norwegians, As ,0322

Nearly half Of Philadelphia'S foreign popu-
lation is Irish. there being 110,G3o sons and
daughters of Erin, and only 7l,97l Germans.
In this the Quaher city resembles Boston.
whose Celtic population far outnumbers
its Teutonic. there being II Al Irish in the
Hub and only 1882 Germans. Balti-
more has very small foreign population, only
60 DOB, Of which 1860 are Germans. and Wash
ington mas only 1870 foreigners. Brooklyn has
26i 100 aliens of whom 94,99S are Germans and
81. 1913 Irish. Cincinnati has small foreign
