Population Of the World.

Garrett P. Serviss, in the New York
World, recently presented the following
estimates of the esrth's population:
Sand when the census is completed,
if it proves a practicable undertaking,
what will it probably show the total
population Of the globe to beS For
many years past the common estimate
Of the number Of the worlds inhabitants
has been l,50O,O00O0O-i. e., about thirty
inhabitants to every square mile OF land
on the globe. If all Of these inhabitants
could be arranged in row, standing
shoulder touching shoulder, there are
enough of them to completely encircle
the earth at the equator, whore it is
about twenty-five thousand miles around,
no less than twenty-five and three
quarter timesl Twenty-Five complete
circles Of human beings, shoulder to
shoulder, and the three-quarters Of an

Greek, one Gaelic, one Arabic, and
eighteen Dutch, nine Of which are in
Michigan, where the Hollanders are
numerous, one only being published at
the East, in Paterson, n j. There are
two Italian daily papers in New York
and two in San Francisco but outside
Of these two cities the Italian press in
the United States amounts to very little.
There are four papers published in the
Lithuanian language, and twelve, three
of them dailies, in the Jewish iargon.
German newspapers are published in
nearly every State, and German dailies
in nearly every large city.
The advocate., 1897-06-09

other such circle, standing round the
globe where it's girth is greatest-that is
the spectacle that would be presented it
some higher power should choose to
arrange mankind in that way for grand
review Of it's numbersl
"But it is probable that the inhabitants
Of the earth are much more numerous
than the estimate given above shows.
One of the latest estimates, made in
Germany, assigns no less than l, ZOO, ,000,-
600 as the population of the earth, That
would add three complete circles to our
imaginary rows of human beings ringing
the globe. Taking 40O,00O,0O0 as the
population of China land that estimate
may be much too smalD, there would be
six globe. encircling rings of Cinnamon
alone.
GAS far as numbers 60 Asia more
than counterbalances all the remain
der of the earth combined, Assign
ing 9OO,0OO,0OO inhabitants to Asia,
4OOOOO,OO0 to Europe, 250,0OO,0OO to
Africa, 100000 to North and South
America and 100000 to the oceanic
islands, the polar regions, etc, we see
that Asia alone would still have 100000
600 in excess OF all others counted to-
gether. But Europe and America, with
only one third of the totol population Of
the globe, hold the mastery ofit through
intellectual superiority. There are un'
questionably more Mougolians on the
planet than there are members Of any
other race Of mankind.
"But they do not occupy all OF Asia,
since that vast continent contains also
very large number of Aryans, q race
from which the inhabitants Of modern
Europe, us we'll as those OF India and
Persia, sprang. Still, the new census, if
completed, is likely to show that there
are at least 10O,O0O,O0O more Mongols
than Indo- Europeans in existence"

Some interesting Items.

No great man ever had time to play
checkers in the middle of the day.
Sealskins are originally Of light drab
color, but as found in the market are
always dyed.
Careful measurements prove that the
average curvature Of the earth is G.99
inches to the statute mile.
The population Of ancient Rome has
been variousIy estimated by historians
at from 100000 to 100000.
There are forty.eight different ma.
terisls used in constructing piano,
which come from sixteen countries.
The velocity of the earth's rotation on
it's axis at the equator is l, ,440 feet per
second, or nearly $4,000 miles day.
The only faith that wears we'll and
holds it's color in all weathers is that
which Is woven Of conviction and set with
the sharp mordant OF experience.
According to the census taken in 1894,
Rome had $4,000 population, but the
modern city does not cover more than
one-third or one-fourth the area Of the
ancient.
It is believed that some Of the camels
imported in 1853 to run wild in Arizona
are still in existence. Indians occasionally
report having seen some, and lately
the International Boundary Commission
saw two on the Mexican border,
1t is said that the Eskimos have a
queer custom in regard to doctors. AT
each visit the doctor is paid. II the
patient RECEIVERS the physician keeps the
money; IL the patient dies the money ia
returned to the family Of the deceased,
Bank of England notes are made from
new white linen cuttings-never from
anything that has been worn. So care.
fully is the paper prepared that even the
number Of dips into the pulp made by
each workman is registered on dial by
machinery,
