The population of China is variously
estimated at from 3o0,o00,0oo to 40o,-
100000. Perhaps it is felt that in that
country hundred million inh abitants,
more or less, hardly count, though ac-
cording to western standards that
number would make several big ma
tions. But whether the higher or low
er figure be accepted, it is evident that
China has population large enough

time to come.
