HIS wonderful memory for figures. He
fairly revels in statistics In his home
in. New York there are several rooms
filed with volumes upon volumes OF
industrial statistics. Many Of these
Mr.. Porter can readily quote from
memory. An Illustration OF this oc-
Cured not long ago, says the Phlladel-
phia Saturday Post A Chicago man
was boasting Of the rapid growth OF
his city.
1--WE have 100000 inhabitants now.
You gave us 100000 in 1890" he said
..Not as mrc,l as that" replied Mr.
Porter. aThe exact figures were
1D9e,S5O. Your school census OF 1892
gave ], ,4oo, ,ooe."
The conversation then turned upon
New. York city
.You underestimated that also.
Eyes, we gave New York 1,51o,30l,
and the state census Of 1892 gave
1901 l73s."
.Where do you carry all these fig
uresy' asked the Chicago man.

ACan you tell me how many negroes
there were in this country in 1890"
asked the westerner with an air OF Ii-
uenph.
.There were 7,47o,o4o," repeated the
statistician without seconds hesita-
ten. "And there were 107.415 Chi

How china.s Great Vail Will Be
Used to Build Modern Cities.

Used to Build J! oiern Cities.
1t too!. 2,oGo.oGo men working for
ten years to build the great wall or
China.
Even then many parts of the wall
were already there Cor the men to link
; together. The earlier sections were
built 1922 years before the birth OF
Christ. The final wall was completed
in 2o4 B. c.
Now, more than 1000 years later, the
wall is to be blown up by dynamite to
suit the modern idea OF progress. 1t

was built in 80 centuries.
An interesting and striking object
lesson in China's whimsical transition
in q few years from superstitious stag
nation to practical advancement is fur
nished in the proposition to blow the
old wall into ruins. The proposition
emanates from the new ruler Of China,
the dowager empress. She is re-
markable old woman, this dowager
empress, to have been evolved by a
country like China. The wall has been
the pride Of the Mongolians all their
lives. They have been reared on it
from childhood. 1t has been part
Of their religion. Up to two years ago
the bare idea Of removing it would
have stricken the little yellow people
dumb with indignant horror. Even
now had the suggestion come from q
foreigner they probably would have
cried out for the white devils blood
and called upon the empress to Danish
all unbelieving dogs from the wallis
protection. But it came from the great
empress herself, who could cut off the
heads Of thousand or two Of the poor
little chaps If they dared to raise so
much as their eyes in dissent, and so
the beloved wall must come down,
with all it's precious traditions and
sacred charms clinging around it.
It Will be like pulling the old empire
out by the roots and building new
