POPULATIONS MOVE WESTWARD
About a Century Ago the Center Was
slightly East of Baltimore.

About a Century Ago the Center Was
slightly East of Baltimore.
Nothing illustrates the marvellous
growth of our country more graphical
~ thar the rapid yet steady pace which
the center of population in the United
States has made in its westward
march. In 1870, the time of taking the
first census, the center of population
was twenty-three miles east of Balti-
more, in the upper end of Chesapeake
Bay. Between that time and 1900 it
moved forty-one miles, or to a spot
eighteen miles directly west of Balti-
more. During the decade which ended
1910 the westward movement was not
so rapid, being only th'rty-six miles,
which located the center of population
at that time forty miles northwest by
west of Washington. Between 1910
and 1920 it made marvellous strides,
landing sixteen miles north of Wood
stock, Va, which was fifty miles from
the spot occupied by the Center 10
1910. During the decade which ended
with 1880 1t moved only thlrty-nms
miles, this taking 1t to a spot nineteen
miles west southwest of Morsefeld, w.
Va. By 1910 it had moved west by
south a distance CT fifty-dve miles, or
to a place sixteen miles south of Clarks-
Vile, w. Va. Between 1910 and 1850
another move Of ffty-fye miles was
made, and the census report of the lat.
ter year informed the curious reader
that "the center of population is now
twenty-three miles southeast of Par
kersburg," which is now in the State of
West Virginia. a.nt
When the census of 1860 was taken 1t
was found that the center of population
was at a spot in the middle of the Scio-
to River, twenty miles south of Chilli
Gothic, Ohio. In 1870 it was still in
Ohio, but had climbed out of the river
and moved to a spot forty-eight miles
east of north from Cincinnati. Between
1870 and 1880 the center Of population
passed almost directly through Cincin-
nati, moving west by south, and when
the census was taken in the latter year
1t was located eight miles southwest OF
the city above named. Between 1880
and 1890 it moved into the Hoosier
State, and was found, when the last
iecennial census was taken, to be TWEEN
ty miles east of Columbus, Ind. The
greatest distance the center moved dur
Ing any ten years was between 1870 and
1880, when it travelled fifty-eight miles.
The least was between 1900 and 1910,
shlrty-six miles.-St. Louis Republic.

Nine. C~arnot, Widow of the Martyr
President, Was Popular.
Nine. Carnot, the widow of the mar.
tyr President of the French republic,
Sadi Garnet, who died recently at the
Chateau de Preale, in France, was a
popular and clever woman and was
greatly beloved by the people of her
land while her husband held the reins
Of power. The ~graciousness Of her
manner, her keen knowledge of affairs,
her quick perception and engaging con-
veFsationaf powers made her popular
among all classes.
Nine. Carnot was the daughter Of a
distinguished French lawyer, and her
maiden name was Dupont White.
When her husband was elected Presi-
1ert of the republic they lived in apart
ments that rented for only $1,000 q
year, and they left that home with
great reluctance. Their four children
were educated in music and literature,
and in no home in France were the do
nestle virtues better cultivated. AS
mistress of the Elysee Palace, the
home of Frances chief executive, she
was a brilliant success. Her dinners
and receptions were regarded with de-
light by diplomats and other distin-
guished persons present. She was a
woman of charming taste and n of
the best dressed women In France. The
