DAILY NEWSPAPERS.
Population Appears to Have Little to Do
With Their Distribution.

There are 2O,0On newspapers in the
United States, of which :, $50, on more than
ten per cent, are published daily. These
papers however, are not distributed uni.
fOrmly throughout the several states, and
there seems to be no clear rule for the dis
crrpancies to be found in some states.
New York, for instance, the largest of the
states in respect to popalatian, and the one,
too having the largest number Of news
papers, has only l~3 daiies, whereas Penn
sylvania, the population of which is one
million and quarter less than New York :.

5000, goo, has only = daily papers, while
Indiana, with population of 800, 600 less,
has 49,, yet the HOosier State, with Illinois
on one side and Ohio on the other, has not
usually been noted for It's public enlighten
ment. On the other hand, Missouri has

1t is the state OF several universities, it is
prominent in all educational matters, and 1t
is one Of the very oldest Of the states OF the
country in point of settlement. Yet Mas
s.chusetts has only - daily papers, whereas
California, with one-half the population Of
the Bay State, has / 10. These are some of
the discrepancies which seem to require
explanation.
The distribution Of daily papers through
out the country is in other respects singular
Mississippi, with population of ,25o, 600,
and with large mercantile and agricultural
interests, has only nine daily papers,
whereas Arizona, with population OF one
twelfth as large, and much of it made up
of persons wholly illiterate, or nearly 81,
has ten daily papers. Delaware, including
the thriving city of Wilmington, and With
no foreign population numerous enough to
be considered, has the same number of
daily newspapers as New Mexico, with a
population of %, 900 less, and considcra-
BILE portion of it Indians and halt. breeds
There are only nineteen daily papers in the
State of Tennessee, only fifteen in West
Virginia, and twenty nine in Kentucky.
But in North Carolina, a state destitute of
large cities, there are twenty one daily
papers, and in Arkansas there are twenty
six. New Hampshire and Vermont are
neighboring states their population is
about the same-between $50, 900 and 375,

papers and Vermont has only four Con-

Leon d. Hatcher had many excellent

A DENTISTS DISCOVERY.

Supplies False Teeth Which Grow Firmly
into the Gums.
A Moscow dentist has solved the prob.
lem of supplying the human mouth with
false teeth which will grow into the
gums as firmly at natural ones. DIR. Ia
mensky has performed several successful
operations on dogs as well as human be-
ings. The teeth are made of gutta per-
cha, porcelain or metal, as the case may
be. At the root of the false tooth holes
are made, and also made upward into
the jaw. The tooth is then placed into
the cavity. In a short time soft granu-
lated growth finds its way from the pa
TENTS jaw into the holes IN the tooth
this growth gradually hardens, and holds
the tooth in position. 1t is stated that
it does not matter whether the cavity in
which the tooth is to be placed is one
from which a natual tooth has been re-
Gently drawn, or whether it has been
healed for some years.
