WOMEN AS MAGNETS.

David Could vouch for Some wonderful
Things They Did.
"You don't believe those stories about
women being human magnets, do you ?"
Dora asked.
''Some of them are mighty attract
ive," David said, looking at her keenly.
Dora blushed.
II don't mean that" she said; II
mean their doing such great thingx-
lifting half dozen men and all those
tricks. Do you believe it?"
"Well, I don't know" David reflective
ly answered; II saw woman to-day
and slight at that-I saw her just lift
q finger--it was right in the street,
crowds of people around her-she
raised her finger and-and-"
"Well, for PHYS sake, what?" ex-
claimed Dora, impatiently. Don't be
SO Long about it."
81 don't go so far as to say she had
electrical powers" David pursued,
calmly; II won't undertake to explain
what it w4s, but thismuch vouch for,
for sew it with my own eyes-the
moment she raised that little finger
it had dainty pink nail on it-a heavily
loaded street car that was passing came
to IN instant stop"

on this wonderful faculty of the insect

LoNpoN.s GROWTH STOPPED.

Metropolis Of the World Expected to Ne,
cline In Population Hencsforwart.
The result of the recent census shows
that during the last five years the pop
ulation has increased somewhat less
rapidly than II did in the previous ten
-l88l-1S91. The number Of people
turned out to be some $4,000 below the
estimate formed on the basis Of 1891.
The difference is small, hut impor-
tant. as it shows that the previous fall
in the rate of increase is maintained.
The population is growing at a less
rapid pace. At the beginning Of the
century it used 10 increase by .mone
than 20 per cent. in the ten years be.
tween successive censuses; in 1S81.1so1
that rate had fallen to 10.4 per cent.

still less. This movement il not part

On growing indefinitely. and even Lon
Recommendations az it is-has not full
filled the expectations of earlier statis-
ticians. Two hundred years ago it ap-
peared to be growing so fast that Sir
William Petty, one of the earliest pio-
neers in demographical research, reck-
oned that by 1910 the population would
reach 100000. supposing it to con-
tinue at the same rate. He thought,
however, that a natural limit would
be reached before then, and placed it
in the year 1900, by which time he cal-
culated London would contain some
thing over 5000, 900 Inhabitants, and
the rest of England only 4,50O,0 900. He
was very nearly right about the total,
which actually was about 5000, 200, but
London only accounted for one of them.
Since then it has nearly reached its
maximum, which, curiously enough,
seems likely to prove a real natural
limit. For the four years, 1914, the
average birth rate was 35.2; for the
four years, 1s9l-94, it was only 800.
There has been a gradual and almost
continual fall OF from year to year,
which has not been counterbalanccd
by the simultaneous but slighter fall
m the denth rute from -s9s7 to 1919.
Fewer people die in proportion to the
population, but still fewer are born.
This is explained by the increasing dis
inclination to marry. The marriage
rates for the two periods contrasted are
