VASTNESS OF ST. PETERS.
1t Produces Almost the Effect OF
Terror on the Mind.

The building is so far beyond any
familiar proportions that at first sight
all details are lost upon its broad
front. The mind and judgment are
dazed and staggered. The earth should
not be able to bear such weight upon
its crust without cracking and bending
like an overloaded table. On each side
the colonnades run curving out like
giant arms, always open to receive the
nations that go up there to worship.
The dome broods over all, like a giant's s
head motionless in meditation
The vastness of the structure takes
hold of man as he issues from the
street by which he has come from SAINT
Angelo. In the open space in the square
and in the ellipse between the colon
nades and on the steps 100000 men
could be drawn up in rank and file.
horse and foot and guns. Excepting 1t
be some special occasion, there are
rarely more than two or three hundred
persons in sight. The paved emptiness
makes one draw a breath of surprise,
and human eyes seem too small to take
in all the flatness below, all the breadth
before and all the hight above.
Taken altogether, the picture is too
big for convenient sight. The impress
sion itself moves unwieldily in the
cramped brain. A building almost 500
feet high produces monstrous effect
upon the mind. Set down in words, a
description of it conveys no clear con-
ception; seen for the first time the i'm
preston produced by it cannot be put
into language. 1t is something like a
shock to the intelligence. perhaps, and
not altogether a pleasant one Carried
beyond the limits of a mere mistake,
exaggeration becomes caricature, but
when 1t is magnified beyond humanity s
common measures, 1t may acquire an
element approaching to terror The
awe-striking giants of mythology were
but magnified men. The first sight of
st. Peters affects one as though, in
the everyday streets, walking among
ones fellows. one should meet a man
forty feet high.-St. Peters, by Marion
Crawford in the Century.

THE LONG DISTANCE PHONE.
Wheeling Is Now in Connection with over
TWO Thousand One Hundred Offices.

Wheeling Is Now in Connection with Over
TWO Thousand One Hundred Offices.
The recent extension of the lines of
the long distance telephone has been
one OF the notable and remarkable
things of the flag end of the century
which has largely escaped public at
tention. Il is pretty generally known,
for example. that there is a system of
long distance telephones in existence,
and that Wheeling has communication
with such points as New York, Wash
ington. Pittsburg, Chicago, and even as
far as Boston, but comparatively few
people know that the lines reach two
thousand one hundred and sixty cities
and towns. in nineteen States. having
a population of something like twenty
FIVE million. and that the length of line
in existence has been more than dOub-
led within the last two years, at cost
of several millions of dollars.
The long distance telephone system
was inaugurated in 1888, in the vicinity
of Boston. and for several years its ter
TirOry was a very small one, in a few o.
the densely populated and small New
Ills ltl4lN otaNfN. A1A AE1A tto tlAt INNS
were extended until New York and
Philadelphia were reached and then
the lines were extended west TO Pitts
burg and nearby points and thence to
Chicago. Within the last two years the
mileage has been doubled and the num-
Der of Offices multiplied about three
fold, until now there is about thirty
thousand miles of main line. and 2.16O
Offices. ready for the transaction of
business. As showing the value of the

According TO the returns Of the last
census. the population of the United
States i'm 1890 was 62.622.25o. The coll
ored population numbered 7.63S.360. of
whom the Africans We're 10000. The
rest were Chinese. Japanese and civil
ized Indians. The persons OF African
descent are sub-diyided into blacks,
mulattoes. Quadroons and octoroons.
The general impression is that the col
ored population is growing more rapid
ly than the white. but the facts are that
the reverse is the case. In 1850 there
were 6.5So.793 colored persons i'm a TO-
tai of 5o155.7S3. The colored popula-
rion has steadily decreased since 1910.
as compared with the white people.
and to-day the white element in the
Southern States is increasing much
more rapidly than the colored.
The distribution OF the colored pop
u'atiou is confined chiefly to- the South
ern states. Very few are found in the
New England States. New York. New
Jersey and Pennsylvania. and there
are few Chinese. japanese and Indians
fin The Southern States. The State
which has the largest population Of
African descent is Georgia. Maine.
