Tho City Has Never Halted Since It Was
First Fairly Started.
Ernest Ingersoll writes paper on tho
Greater New York, entitled Reasoning

MIR. Ingersoll says:
The people of New York, Brooklyn,
Staten Island and certain nearby north.
ern towns resolved to join themselves
together into one city, which is now tho
Greater New York 1t embraces 341
square miles of territory and includes %
population of nearly 100000.
BESIDES these ut least another million
dwell on the New Jersey side of the
hudson river, quite as near and as
closely identified with the great city on
Manhattan Island as are those of the
northern and eastern suburbs. This
makes population of nearly 4, 500, 900
which may be said to belong to New
York, making it not only by far the
largest center of human life and inter.
ests Ill America, but. excepting only
London, the most populous spot on the
globe.

arise somewhere else? Is it's position all
an accident, or does history show sound
reasons for its situation? The earliest
settlement here was merely trading
station that gradually became small
seaport, like dozen others along tho
coast. Before the year 1900 these were
SO nearly alike that he would have been
wise prophet who truly foretold which
would thrive. Indeed many men of that
day firmly believed that Newport and
Annapolis were to be tho two great
American seaports.
Great cities arise at tho points where
the greatest number of people find il
convenient TO meet at first for business
aid later for pleasure. You cannot force
city to grow in an unnatural or insult
able situation, and it is no easier to pre-
vent city from growing in its proper
place. But the conditions that change a
village INTO big town and expand the
town into city or metropolis arc not
the same i'll different parts of the globe
and vary with the march of the cen.
turles; so that now many an ancient
world market, like Nincveh or Mem
phis, has totally disappeared, while
towns like Berlin have lately increased
with amuzing rapidity, after long his
