To an American, accustomed to the

England todiiy contains 30. 100000
people, but it hsls trebled its population
in the course of q century, inaanrch as
the population was 10. GOO, 0c0 ON the
accession Of the Haaoverian dynasty.
At the tirne Of ehc great revolution in
IGss England contained 5000, 600.
while London, now $500, 900. contain
I'd only 500. coo inhabitants
1t further appears that the entire
popuiation Of the country was under
LOCO, GOO when the .DonieSday Book
was compiled shortly after the Norman
c-rquest. Other nations are more CT
less amenable to the same principle Of
increase, ard modern ideas Of the vast
populations Of antiquity are far from
being correct In spite Of the grOssly
exaggerated statistics OF Jcsephus. the
site Of Jerusalem and the course of its
ancient walls, which can easily be
traced, prove that the Holy City could
never have accommodated more than
lo0, 900 people, while the cutter walls Of
Rome, still standing, indicate that the
ancient population Of the Eternal City
could not, even in its ralIny days, have
exceeded 1000, coo people.
Westward the star Of civilization
takes it course is a truth confirmed by
the history Of the ancient world and set
forth in the rise and fall of the success
sive empires OF China, India, Assyria,
Babyloria, Egypt Greece and Rome
The westward trend of the Aryan IA
miles Of Celts, Teutons and Slavs in
prehistoric times points 70 an eastern
origin OF the primitive nations that gath
cred strength as they marched toward
the lands Of the setting sun, and it now
appears highly probable that the bulk
of the worlds population had congre-
gated around the blue waters of the
Mediterranean when Greece and Rome
were III the meridian Of their power.
The numerical strength Of these nations
was not great, and modern ideas Of the
vast population Of the ancient world are
mere fanciful than real.
From the foregoing considerations it
would appear that the regular home
troops Of the British army, numbering
about 100, COO men, could find standing
room on four acres Of ground, a space
equal to that of Trafalgar square, Lon
don, while the entire force of volun-
teers il this country, numbering about
ESQ, 600, could be accommodated in

The 5, 500, 600 people in London could
easily stand in Regents park, while the
40, 1000, 600 Of the United Kingdom
could be packed together in space
within range of a cannon that can fire

The present population of the world
could stand in Middlesex, while all
who have ever lived since the Chris

divested Of her stars, and ol the other
side the V and the wreath. The edge Of
