CENSUS PROPHECY FULFILLED.
Startling Accurancy of a Harvard
Professors Forecast in 1775.
From the National Magazine.

From the National Magazine.
Edward Wigglesworth, Hollis Pro-
fessor of Divinity mt Cambridge" in a
little pamphlet published in the porten-
tous year of 17I5, must have had IA
correct idea of the prosperity of this
country. during the century just clos
ing, as he predicted that the popua-
tion of the British American Colonies"
in 1900 would be S0,000000.
Included in this estimate was Nova
Scotia, now the Dominion of Canada,
which with its last recorded census re-
suit of 4,S00000 added to the $1,000 900
of the United States fulfills almost to
the letter the accuracy OF the Wig
ellsworth prophecy. And this some-
what remarkable forecast was not
based upon any species of guess work,
but upon a well defined and clearly
constructed mathematical theory,
which, reduced tn plain words, can be
best described i'm the language of its
author:
''The British Americans have doubled
their numbers in every period of %
years from their first plantation"
Taking this statistical fact as basis
for his calculations the Harvard di-
yinity professor constructed system
of reckoning the increase of coun-
try's population which history has
shown to be as correct as his method
was simple.
Assuming that the 1915 population
was 100000 Mr. Wigglesworth estimat-
ed 100000 for 1900 100OO,O0O for 1925
20, 900, 900 for 1880. 100000 for 1875 and
so 900, 900 for 1900; and the record of the
Tinted States census since its initial
taking in 1890, shows substantially
these figures, as follows: Census of
1900, 5,30S, 900; 1925, QS20), 9,6S3,000; 1850,

The funeral Of little Lewis Pugh, the

received on the railroad, took place

Clarence Ball. teamster of the Hill
side Coal company at the Erie breaker,
had an exciting experience Saturday
afternoon. For several days past the
surface between the Erie breaker and
the keystone colliery has been slightly
caving. On Saturday, Ball was taking
his team to the scene of the caves to
assist in filing in the holes. While on
his way the ground suddenly disap-
peared underneath the horses feet.
The weight of the horses caused the
whffletree to break and to this for
tunate circumstance Ball owes his es-
cape. The cave was a deep one, nearly
twenty-five feet deep, one Of the horses
being completely buried. The other
horse was gotten out of the pit after
a large gang of men had laboriousy
worked for several hours, their task
being a most difficult one.

YANKEE LIVES LONGEST.
Leads the English, French and Ger
man Man in Longevity.

From the London Glopc
1t has often been remarked that
while nothing Is so uncertain as tha
duration of any given human life,
nothing is more certain than the aggre-
gate of years which may be assigned
to group of 100 persons OF more al
any particular age. The expectation OF
life at a given age differs considerably,
as might be expected in different coun-
tries, and Englishmen may be sur
prised to learn that they are not the
longest living among the white races
At the age of 20 an Englishman in
average health may expect to live for
ty-two years, and any life Office Will
grant him Il policy based on that prob
ability. The Americans expectation is
for a slightly longer period. On the
other hand German lad of 20 can
count upon little more than thirtv-
nine years and half
1t would seem, therefore. that the
restlessness attributed to the American
temperament does not necessarily con-
duct to the shortening of life, nor the
comoosure of the German to its pro-
longation. Possibly the better feeding
and clothing of Americans in the lower
classes of the population is the prin-
cipal cause OF their greater longevity
Their position is, at any rate, main
tanned in later as well as In earlier
years. The American who has reached
20 may look to complete fourteen years
more. while the I'ritisher's expectation
is only about thirteen years and ten
months. and the Germans as nearly
as possible twelve months less, Both at
20 and at go the Frenchman's prospect
il Il little better than the German'i
and a little worse than the English
mans.
