To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
win you kindly tell ne, through the
Query column Of the Dispatch, what is
tho estimated annual increase OF popula-
ton Of the United States, and the esti-
mated annual increase Of population OF

Our percentages OF increase in the seve-
raj decades have been az follows: 1870
20 1900, $50; 1910. S6.3S; 1890, 1907; 1880,
1856; 1910, S2.G7; 1850 S5.S7; 1850 S5.5S; 1870,
1858; 1885, SOOS; 1893, 2lS6. The census
of 1870 in the Southern states IS admit
teddy unreliable. hence tho percentage
OF lS70-iSSO is believed TO have been eX-
aggerated. The worlds increase of
population we cannot give al this time.

Assuming Avogadro's law, that equal
volumes OF II and CT contain equal num-
beers OF molecules, the molecule OF II
being H2 and that OF CT Il. then the
equal volumes of ii and CT contain
equal numbers of atoms. In this case.
Il IS evident that the weights OF the equa!
volumes Of II and CT will be as their
atomic weight. II the weight Of the
one volume Of II be taken as unity, then
the weight of the equal volume of Ci.
will be the atomic weight of CT The
molecular weight OF II CT IS obtained
by adding the weights OF the two atoms
