POPULATION OF ENGLAND.
Changes In Proportion of Town and
Rural Population.

London Telegraph.
T. A. Weldon, F. c. A, read a paper
at a meeting of the Royal Statistical So
ciety recently bearing on the distribu-
ton of population in England and Wales
in 1891, as compared with 1901
At the outset Mr.. Weldon said that the
condition of things in 1901 was that, with
the exception of London, there was I'd
town with 100000 inhabitants. The ms-
tropolis had population Of $4,000 and
Manchester the next largest town, about
81 ,43a. There were 112 towns outside CT
London with populations descending from
that figure to 1900 and amounting in all
to 1,40O,762, but the bulk Of the country
was thoroughly rural say, over 100000
acres, inhabitated by 4,721, 252 persons,
out of the total population, S,S92, 536 How
striking the change since then was shown
in the fact that the ordinary density of
population in rural districts was, in 1901,
about 100 persons to the square mile; in
1891 it averaged $50 persons, and the rural
population was only 1854. coo persons, out
of a total population of 29,002, 525. There
fore, instead of being paramount rural
interests were. in 1891 those of less than
one-fifth of the whole people.
AS the proportion of town population
was now more than Ga per cent, against
&c per cent in 1901. the rural population
had fallen from Sc down to 10 per cent
In 1851 the lowest proportion OF rural
population in any division was 80 per
cent, but in 1851 the minimum was per
cent. and five divisions showed ratios
not higher than II per cent. If. how
ever, the metropolis itself with its belt
of enVirons) could be separated from the
rest of the division, the surrounding area
would not differ widely in the constitu-
ton of its population from the adjacent
divisions; 80 per cent of its area and 80
per cent of its population would be rural
Still, statistics illustrated in an impress,
siye manner the transfer of political and
industrial power which had been gradn-
ally accomplished in less than a century.

of today was in many respects unlike tie

Wien he paid the man, who on his part
was also content. But the diamond was
known to be worth more than Jamchund
had received. and the transaction gave
rise to a good deal of gossip, which In
