HOW THE CITIES ARE GROWING.

When we all live in "the city" who
will feed us? Will it be the chemist,
who will by that time have learned to
make food without any help from the
collected by e. J. James make these
questions rather pertinent. He shows
that in almost all civilized countries
the increase of population at present is
largely absorbed by the cities, and that
cities, as a rule are really larger in
population and area than they are said
to be. The urban area" that is to say,
the densely settled area of identical
urban interests, is commonly larger
than the political or legal area, and
the improved means of rapid transit
tends constantly to expand the urban
area further and further beyond the le-
gal limits. Not only has the population
living in cities increased enormously in
absolute numbers in the last hundred
years, but the proportion of the total
population dwelling in cities has in
creased in a manner almost as remark
able The United States affords strik-
ing examples of this development Ow-
ing to the large extent of it's unsettled
territory a diffusion of population
would be expected rather than concen-
tration in cities. In 1890, of the entire
population of s,92s214, but 1S1,472 per-
sons resided in cities having 5000 of

Is a deceitful confession to the fault
finders. The dress of the accompany
ing picture illustrates it. Fur trimming
Is in sight; that is all. Except at re-
vers and collar, it doesn't convey the
slightest warmth, but it is expected to
shut off criticism. Some Of these
gowns carry only fur edging, and none
is more warmly trimmed than this one,
so the transparency of the trick is ap-

whole. In 1910 the percentage was but
$50. In 1870 the percentage of city
population was increased to 20.93, and In
1890 it was 1920. At the last mentioned
date there were in the United States
44S cities having 5000 or more inhabi-
tants. AS many as 18,2S4,385 persons
out of a total population of 62,622,25O
resided in cities The urban population
was really larger, since urban condi-
tons prevail in communities smaller
than those having 5000 inhabitants. If
we call a community having 1000 inhab-
| per cent. of our population in 1890 lived
| in cities. The growth of large cities in
our sparsely settled States is phenom-
enon of note. The same phenomenon
presents itself in Australia. Between
1880 and 1890 the population of places in
the United States having 1000 or more
inhabitants increased 4707 per cent,
while the rural population, including
that of the smaller towns, increased but
1886 per cent. Other countries have a
| like experience. Over 81 per cent. of
the people of England and Wales live in
cities having over 10000 inhabitants,
and the increase of rural population be-
tween 1881 and 1891 was but 1874 per
i,,ot fA, fho
cities. The percentage of rural popula-
ton in France has fallen since 1886 from
1853 to CTS; in fact, since 1886 the rural
population has declined, while Paris has
added 103,407 to her population. Since
1871 Germany's cities have Increased
from 1878 to 1891, and her city popula-
ton from 14,79o,79s to 23,24s,229. Her
rural population was smaller in 1890
than in 1871.
The most notable fact OF urban life in
recent years is the rapid growth of
great cities. Beginning with 1850, the
great cities have tended to absorb the
increase of population of the countries
in which they are situated. Statistics
of city population are commonly mac
curate, or misleading, owing to the fact
that they refer to the political or legal
city and do not include the entire urban
area. London. for example, is often
credited with but ALL. 056 inhabitants,
whereas its real population is over g.
100000. Political New York in 1890 had
but 1,515,301, but including the subur-
ban area identified with it the popula
ton of Greater New York" Is found to
be 2,7l0,125. Similarly the population OF
political Baltimore" in 1890 was Asa ,439,
whereas it's real population, including
Canton and other suburban area iden-
titled with Baltimore, was much over
100000. Chicago's population between
1880 and 1890 grew from sos, 1856 to 1885,
$50, because in that decade Chicago in
creased its area from 1916 square miles
to 147.5 square miles. Between 1850 and
1860 Philadelphia added 127 square miles
to it's area. Boston and New York have |
gained vastly in population in the same
way.
New Haven is in the fashion. 1t has |
already absorbed Fair Haven and |
Westville, and soon. we suppose, West |
Haven will be taken in.

One Of the most brilliant Of Natures
achievements, the autumnal tints Of
leaves, is little understood. From lab
Dratory experiments and observations in
The Alps, E. Overton concludes that the
red coloring matters are chiefly due to
sugar, and are in most cases unions Of
tannin compounds with sugar. Autumn
nal sunshine favors the production of
sugar and the chemical process leading
to the formation Of the pigment, while
the low tempera ture prevents CONVEX
sion Of the sugar into starch.

| The court room OF Justice Lapham
Tuesday morning was the scene OF a

arraigned on a charge OF assault and
battery. They had been camped for a
couple OF days In the second ward near
Judson Buttolph's farm while the men
piled their vocation of horse trading,
the boys doing dancing and begging
and the women telling fortunes. Mr..
Buttolph got up early Tuesday morn
ing and found them splitting up fence
board To make fire with, and object
ed, whereupon old man Egypt struck
him across the hip with stick. Mr..
Buttolph didn't like that kind OF "a re-
ception and came To town and swore
out warrant for his arrest. Mr..
Fales overlook the aggregation few
miles this side of Saranac and gather
ed in Mr.. Egypt. In the court room
his broken English together with that
of his two sons and their plea in his be-
half was amusing indeed. The court
found him guilty and assessed him SO,
including the costs. They shelled out
after visit to camp where they dug
down into old bags, boxes and stockings
and fished out the money all in pennies,
dimes and nickles.
