The Cuban Census.

One of the surprising developments
Of the Cuban census is that a large
portion of the people of the island live
in cities. OF the 1,572,797 people on
the island. TAI, 1,273, or AZ per cent, live
in the cities. This is 32 per cent. In
the United States the urban popula-
ton is but 80 per cent. The proper
ton OF people living in the cities of
Cuba varies in the different prov
inces. The only data OF comparison to
show gains and losses and measure
of development in population of the
island come from the census OF 1887,
which was taken by the Spanish, and
is generally regarded as more or less
defective. 1t is interesting to note
that in the twelve years intervening
Cuba has lost 2S,S9O of her population,
or about clio per cent.
The statisitcians OF the Census Bur-
eau, computing by the gains hitherto
made on the island, estimate that up
to the outbreak of the recent war the
population had undoubtedly increased
to nearly 100000 The difference be-
tween that number and the total of the
recent census must be taken to repre-
sent the loss Of life due to the war.
II is known that the percentage of
births was greatly dimished ,tnat there
was large emigration from the island
and the loss of life was severe.
In Havana Province, in which most
Of the reconcentradoes were collected
there was comparatively small loss
Of population, practically about 6 per
cent. In Mantanzas the loss was %
per cent; in Pinar del Rio, 23 per cent;
in Santa Clara there was a gain of
about one-half of l per cent; in Puerto
Principe "a gain of 30 per cent, and in
Santiago gain OF 20 per cent. These
large gains were due in the eastern
part of the island 10 the fact that
those regions were far removed from
the sphere of hostilities during the
war, and there was an extensive mi
grafton OF the people from the wesern
TO the eastern provinces. The aver
age number of inhabitants per square
mile in Cuba is nearly what 1t is in
Iowa--about 36. In havana the aver
age rises to 1853, what Ii is in Connecti-
cut, and Puerto Principe II Is S, the ay-
erage In TeXas.--Commercial Tribune.

Slump in Oil Prices May Les.
sen Production.

Findlay, oe, May 27.-The continued
slump in the price of crude oil is hav-
ing depressing effect upon oil op-
erations in the Ohio and Indiana field.
The price has been put up just long
enough to cause lively leasing of
new territory and liberal investments
by Eastern capital in developed terri
tory and operators were busy putting
down view wells. Within the last 30
days the market has fallen off 25 cents
per barrel. with a continued downward
tendency. The worst feature of the
case so far as new operations are con-
cerned, is that the price of all supplies
used in drilling remain at the top
notch Operators say it costs three
times as much now to put down a well
as it did the last time oil was down to
its present figures, and unless the price
of supplies are reduced new operations
will be entirely suspended. Pipe, cor
dage and tools are the chief items of
expense which will have to be reduced.

Salt Lake Shrinking.

The level of Great Salt Lake, Utah,
is reported to be steadily falling, on ac-
count of the large volume of water
tributary to it, which is now absorbed
by irrigation enterprises, says the
Geographical Record. The Jordan and
Bear rivers, City Creek and other trib-
utaries rise in the mountains to the
east and, before they were intercepted
by irrigation bitches, poured into the
lake the year round about 10000 cubic
feet second.
1t Is interesting to learn that a sim
liar condition exists in the Dead Sea,
Palestine. The sea was formerly much
larger than at present, as Is shown by
the old beaches, stretching at various
die of the century its level has been
very slowly rising, till quite recently,
but now it is falling. This shrinkage
of Great Salt Lake Is due not to natur-
al causes, but to the increasing guam
tity of water taken from the Jordan
and smaller streams by farmers, who
are diverting all they can get to their
lands. Some of the salt deposits COW
ering the bottom of the lake may now
be seen above the water in the shall
lower places and near the shores.
But even if this shrinkage should go
on steadily it would take long time
to dry up its waters, for the lake is
over 1900 feet deep in the northern
part of the basin.

Mob After Schlatter.

Cleveland, o., May 27.--"S Schlatter."
the alleged divine healer" came near
being mobbed this afternoon at Forest
City Park. The healer made an In
sulting remark about a woman in his
audience and the 'woman's. husband,
who was present, made " rush for him.
Schlatter fled from the stand where he
was performing his healings, and ran
for pavilion. The crowd was in hot
pursuit. 1t numbered several hundred
lusty men, with the husband of the
woman who had been insulted in the
lead.
Schlatter managed to reach the pa
Wilton ahead of the crowd. He rush
ed up the steps and concealed himself
in a toilet room. The crowd followed
and searched the place, but was not
able to find the healer. Finally a
cook employed in the building appear
ed on the scene with knife in his
hand. This awed the crowd and 1t
fell back. The force of park police ar
rived at this juncture, and the tremb-
ling healer was dragged from his
place of concealment. He was pale
and terribly frightened
The crowd followed at the heels of
the officers, who escorted the healer to
the exit gate. The police held the
crowd at bay until the healer had had
plenty of time to get out of the vicin-
ity. Needless to say, the healer lost no
tlmein putting distance between him
self and the park. After he had dis
appeared the crowd was satisfied and
showed no desire to follow him.
