The fact that the Yosemite, when
was wrecked in a typhoon off the coast
of Guam. after having her bows stove
in, her stern battered and her bottom

by Lieutenant Commander Kelly that

The iron bulkheads cut up such

RAPID GROWTH OF CITIES.
Revelations of the Last Census-Wher
the Increase is Most Marked.

Revelations of the Last Census Where
the Increase is Most Marked.
The rapid growth of the cities of the
New England and Middle Atlantic
States is, perhaps, the most striking
revelation that has yet been made by
the twelfth decennial census. OF the
159 cities Of the country having
population of more than $4,000, about
eighty had made greater numerical
gain id the ten years just closed than
in the ten years preceding. Since it
goes without saying, also, that about
the same number grew faster than the
average-32.5 per cent.-it is interest
ing to ascertain that study of the
bulletin where these cities are, con-
sidered by sections This study af-
fords an admirable test of urban
growth, and reveals in a striking man.
ner the remarkable progress of the
northeastern part of the country.
OF the eleven cities in the South At
lantic group of States only three grew
faster than the average for the coun-
try. These were Atlanta, Norfolk and
Jacksonville. In the South Central re-
gion only seven out of eighteen grew
faster than the average. In the West
ern group there were six out of twelve
In the North Central group, compris
ing the States north of the Ohio, most
of the old free States with the addi-
ton of Missouri, twenty-five cities out
of forty-eight made more than average
progress. With the country thus di-
vided into five great sections, none of
the four so far mentioned shows
group of cities in which more than half
were growing faster than 32.5 per.
cent. in decade of years. The re-
naming section is the North Atlantic:
in it forty-two out of seventy cities
have grown faster than the country's
average. In Connecticut all five of
the cities of more than $4,000 inhabi-
tants made showing above the aver
age. In New Jersey seven out of ten
were above the average: in Pennsyl-
vania, eleven out of eighteen; in
Maine, one out of one-PortIand; in
Rhode Island, three out of three, and
in Massachusetts, eleven out of TWEEN
ty.
1t should be borne in mind that the
actual growth of the cities in the
North Central region was faster, owing
to the presence of a few cities on. the
great lakes; but the number of cities
to show this tendency was, as already
indicated, less than in the North At
lantic States.
The stagnant cities were in eastern
Nebraska, northern Michigan, and at
the headwaters of the Hudson. Oma-
ha,- Lincoln and Sioux City belong to
the first group, Saginaw and Bay City
to the second, and Troy and Albany
to the third. AS general rule, the
cities have grown faster in the re-
gions of coal-beds or of well-utilized
water-poWer.-New York Post.
