THE HUMAN FAMILY.
The human family living today on
earth consists of about 1,45O,O 900
individuals; not less probably more,
these are distributed over the earth's
surface SO that now there is no con-
siderable part where man is not
found. In Asia, where he was first
planted, there are now proximately
about 100000, 900. densely crowded !;
on an average of 12O to the square
mile. In Europe there are 35O,OO0,-
900, averaging 100 to the square
mile-not so crowded, but every
where dense, and at all points over
populated. In Africa there are 21O,-
100000. In America North and
South, there are 100000 rela-
lively thinly scattered and recent. In
the islands, large and small, probably
10, 100000. The extremes of white
and black are as five to three; the re-
naming 7OO,OOO,OOO intermediate
brown and tawny. OF the race, $780,
100000 are well clothed, that is wear
garments Of some kind to cover their
nakedness; 7OO,OOO.OOO are semi
clothed, covering inferior parts of
the body; 25O,OOO,OOO are partially
naked. Of the race, 100000, 900 live
in houses partly furnished with the
appointments of civilization; 500, 900,
900 in huts OF caves with no furnish
ing; 100000 have nothing that
can be called home, are barbarous
and savage. To range is from the
topmost round-the Anglo Saxon
civilization, which is the highest
known-down to the naked savagery
