GROWTH OF EUROPEAN POPULATION

Conditions in the world are un-
dergoing tremendous changes at
the present. During the past CEN
fury the civilized world has been
growing at prodigious rate. The
population of Europe and Euro
pean origin like the United States
can now be put at a little over
5000, 100000. The United States
is nearly 80 millions; Russia
nearly 135 millions; Germany
81 millions; the United Kingdom
with her colonies of Canada,
Australia and the whites of South
Africa, Sc millions; France nearly
40 millions; Austra-Hungary A
millions; Italy 80 millions; Spain
and Portugal 25 millions; Scan
dinavian countries 10 millions;
Holland and Belgium 10 millions;
and other countries 20 millions
more. A century ago the total
population of these countries was
not much more than 100000.
This growth was not uniform
among European populations.
The economic development has
been even greater. The United
States leading while Germany and
Russia also showed remarkable
increases but nothing like Ameri-
ca.
This astonishing growth of pop
ulation caused great change in
the distribution of the political
power of the Europeon nations

CHAUTAUQUA.

The second quarterly meeting of
the Pierian Circle was held on
Sunday afternoon. It was meet
ing of which each and every in
dividual member may we'll be
proud. The verdict was unani-
nous that it was the best of many
good meetings. Each member
taking part had worked hard to
make it success and it is crafty
ing to know that the result was all
that could be expected.
About twenty invited guests
were present and they have the
thanks of the circle for so favoring
us.
The program was as follows:

A paper upon which is written
several cell numbers is delivered
in regular rotation as to order only
when thus addressed by the owner
of the paper. Any attempts of
another to erase or substitute
other cell numbers is always de-
tected and as result the periodic

ket. These mean tricks deprive
many rightful parties from receiv-
ing papers: which through the
kindness of the owner were so in
