The Center of Population.

In calculating the center Of popula-
ton of our country, the census officials
consider the whole face of the United
States plain surface, itself without
weight, but capable Of sustaining
weight. In making this calculation
they consider the country as being
levelled with its inhabitants in number
and position as they are found, each
individual being assumed to be of
equal weight, and, consequently, to
exert pressure on the pivotal point
directly proportionate to his distance
therefrom. The pivotal point is now,
or was in 1890, at a place twenty
miles east of Columbus, Ind. Geo
graphically the center of population in
1890 was at place which would be
said to be in north latitude 80 deg.
II m. 9s,, west longitude IS deg. 32
m. S.
In 1890, at the time of taking the
first census, the center of population
was at spot twenty.three miles east
of Baltimore, Md. During the 100
years that have elapsed between that
time and the time of the taking of the
census of 500, the center of popula-
ton moved westward exactly 5o54
miles.-St. Louis Republic.

All White Cats Deaf.

" Though I had often heard Of it,
l never was fully satisfied that all
white cats are naturally deaf until
recently" said a scientific gentleman
who devotes considerable of his time
to experimenting with the lower order
of animals. 81 was aware that Pro-
fessor Bell, in his original experiments
in connection with the telephone, had
ascertained and stated that his expert
ence with white cats was that they
were all either deaf or very deficient
in hearing, and that other expert
menters in the same direction had
reached similar conclusions. To
satisfy myself recently secured in all
twenty-three white cats, and expert
mented on them, one at time.
In every case / found them
stone deaf. In carrying the expert
ment further, found that white dogs
and white horses are deficient in hear
ing, and that many of them are entire
ly deaf. So are white rats and white
mice. am confident l do not over
state it in regard to white cats, though
l have only experimental with twen-
ty-three, and, of course, can only
speak positively in regard to them. |
