DENSITY OF POPULATION

In 1900 only the country be-
tween the Atlantic andthe Missis-
sippi belonged to the United States
Since that the Louisiana purchase
in 1903, the Florida in 1921, the
Mexican acquisitions in 1910, 1850
and 1853 and Alaska in 1867 have
been added The increase, ex-
cluding Alaska, has been from
827, S44 to 3,025.600 square miles,
or 2 5-8. but the growth of popu-
latiou has been from 5,3OS,488 to
62,622,2 ,250, or nearly twelve fold.
In 1900 the inhabitants were a
little less than seven to the square
miin (n 1890 they had been less
than 5, in 1890 they were over 81 J
The place where the population is
densest is the District of Columbia,
which has has 1899 to the square
mile, the next is Rhode Island 318,
then Massachuttts 27S, then New
Jersey 1913, Connecticut 154, New
York 125, Pennsylvania 116, and
Maryland l05. The other states
and territories run below 100,
down to Montana, Wyoming, Ari-
zona and Nevada, which have less
than one inhabitant to the mile.
The census commissioners notes
that in Rhode Island and Massa-
chusetts the density of population
is as great as in many of the most
densely European states and that
the entire North Atlantic division
pre- eminently the manufacturing
section, has an average of over 100
inhabitants to the square mile.

A NEW DEPARTMENT.

The secretary of agriculture es-
tabllshed a department on July |
to be called the biological survey.
The result is expected to be a tre-
mendous economic advantage. Ag-
riculturalists, horticulturists and
stock raisers are to be given charts
showing the exact position of each
state and territory where certain
animals and vegetables can be ad-
vantageously raised. Those will
be supplemented by a large cata-
logue containing every land animal
and vegetable of the world, and
indicating the areas in which they
may be raised or cultivated by
Americans. Millions of dollars are
thrown away. each year by farmers
and other producers who plant seed
in the wrong soil or climate, or
who undertake to breed animals
where the atmosphere and food
resources are uncongenial. An
efficient corps of naturalists con-
nected with the biological survey
will make detailed survey of the
whole country, counting and class
flying the living species In each
county of each state and territory.
They will also note the conditions
of climate, altitude aud soil, will
note how far each condition infu-
ences the distribution of the species.
The chief of the new survey will
be DIR. @ Hart Merriam. A sur
vey of the entire country will he
made and charts will then be pub
lished showing the exact location
of the various species. No other
country in the world has ever in
stituted survey of this kind.
