The result of the recent census
shows that during the last five years
the population has increased somewhat
less rapidly than it did in the previous
ten-1SS1-1S91 The number of people
turned out to he some 13,O00 below tue
estimate formed on the basis Of 1891.
The difference is small but important,
as it shows that the previous fall III

population is growing at a less and less
rapid pace
At the beginning of the century it
used to increase by more than 20 per
cent in the ten years between success
i've censuses; in 1SS1-1S91 that rate
had fallen to 1914 per cent, the lowest
on record. and now it is still less This
movement is not part of n general de-
cline; 1t is peculiar to London, and
seems to indicate that the huge over
growth of the metropolis has begun to
cure itself. No town can go on grow
ing indefinitely. and even London
monstrous as it is-has not fulfilled the
expectations of earlier statisticians.
Two hundred years ago it appeared to
be growing so fast that Sir William
Petty, one of the earliest pioneers in
dcmOgranhical research, reckOned that
by 1910 the population would reach
10,0O0000, supposing 1t to continue at
the same rate. He thought. however,
that a natural limit would be reached
be fore then, aud placed it in the year
1900, by which time he calculated Lon
odn would contain something over
5.O00000 people, and the rest of Eng
land only 4.5O0.000. He was very
nearly right about the total. which act.
ually was about 100000. but London
only accounted for one of them.
Since then it has nearly reached its
maximum, which. curiously enough.
seems likely to prove real natural
limit. For the four years 1S71-1ST4,
the average birth rate was 3D.; for
the four years. 1S91-1S94. 1t was only

in vigor and numbers. Scarcely Il
stream of Southern Louisiana but is
beset with these beautiful parasites
and their ever increasing proportions
are rapidly assuming n serious phase
Many of the bayous of the Atchafalya
Basin have become filled with the
plants. and the lakes are almost entire
ly covered with them. So dense are
the masses that boats of considerable
size find 1t impossible to make progress
in the streams. and the Atchafalaya
river itself Is dotted constantly with
floating islands of the wonderfully pro.
life hyacinth. The Police Jury of Ter
rebonne Parish recently made an APP
preparation to secure the services of a
steamboat to make trips up and down
Terrebonnc Bayou. so as to prevent
the stream being choked UP entirely.
Bayou Teche Is infested also and prac-
tically every one of the water courses
of that section of the state are being
clogged with the hyacinth.
Ii the salt water does not ascend the
streams in question and kill the myr-
lad of plants. the matter will demand
the attention of the government engin-
GERS and appropriations will be neces-
sary to remove the incubus. From
