POPULATION OF MEIICO.
GAIN OF NEARLY SEVEN AND A HALF FER
CENT IN FIVE YEARS

Washington. Feb. "a tspeciaD-Complete official
returns OF the taken October % 1900
ceived by the Bureau OF American Republics. shows
that the population Mexico is I3 $40 S45 against
a population OF u s32 427 in 1926. The gain Ave
years was 93s lis. or 74S per cent, due in part 10
the greater accuracy of the latest enumeration.
The Federal District. in which is located the City
Of Mexico. is the most densey populated portion
Of the republic. and contains 5so.723 people. The
City OF Mexico increased about 10000 in five years,
and now has nearly 357 90 inha hitants.
The population OF seven States. Jalisco Guiana
juato, Puebla. Vera Cruz. Oaxaca. Michoacan and
Mexico, is 6.995 $50. a little more than one-haIf
OF the entire population Of the country. The pop
uaton OF the States OF Sonora, Tamaullpas. TIax-
Gala. Morelos. Tabasco Aguas Caiientes Campeche.
Coima, and the territories OF Tepic and Lower
California the total OF which is than
one-fourth the entire country. is slightly in
OF 10000 density OF only about 81 inhabitants
to the square kilOmetre.
The central and southern portions OF the republic
the most thickly populated. the Western and
Northern States being the most sparsely settled
and the Gulf region, or eastern coast, contains n
larger number OF inhabitants than the Pacific
Coast region. The figures show a gradual in
crease in the entire population OF the country. In
some or the states, as. Tor instance, 6uanaJuato
and Morelos. the increase has been quite small.
while in number Of the other States as, FOR eX-
Guerrero and Coahuila, there has been pro-
nounced gain ir the population Three Of the
States show sight decrease in population, due
probably to local in particular agricultural
districts which have suffered considerably from
drouths. The State of AEuas Calientes is among
this number and while this State has lost in rural
population there has been very great gain In its
urban population
The greatest percentage Of increase is noted in
the northern States. These States, in addition to
being good agricultural districts. enormously

FOREIGN NAVAL NOTES.

The value of target practice on board OF warships
was abundantly proved during the war Of the
United States with Spain, and especially in the en-
eagements between Sampsons and Cervera's fleets
off Santiago, and Dewey's and Montojo's fleets at
Manila. Special mention made in the English
land should spend little money for similar work.
In China waters recently had target practice with
the great guns for prizes, the Terrible making the
best record. The s-inch guns made the marvel
,ous record of nine hits for nine shots The best
eight guns averaged 30 per cent
The progress of the British navy in 1900 was mot
satisfactory in comparison with what was ex-
pected. Great delay attended the ships under con-
struction and in all. only three new battIeships
were commissioned; these were the Ocean the
Glory and the Goliath. Two more of the same
class nearly ready. Among large cruisers the
Hyacinth has been completed. and the Spartiate
yet ready for service The most interesting feat
of the successful trials of
turbine propelled oestroyers viper, ana Cobra, the
former making over 30 knots and the latter 343
knots.
Among the chief developments of naval arma-
rnent has been the prominence which the submarine
boats have attained France is building these craft
on an ambitious scale, and the Narval has been
tried with satisfactory results and is in ser

boat with the power OF diving. On paper she is
extremely formidable. only wanting higher speed.
On the surface she is propelled by steam raised

employs electricity. large. number OF similar,
but improved boats are now building in France.
Germany and Russia have begun experimenting
with this type of weapon The United States

the Holland boat being very like the Narval in
many details. but the periscope which the Narval
uses for taking observations when under water,
has not been adopted by one else.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion n of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that IS by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rum5ling sound, or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus. surfaces.
