Some of the finest and most artistic

has become noted.
The firm had a veryEfine exhibition at
the Pan-American Exhibition In the
Graphic Arts Building. which attracted a
great deal of favorable comment by both
the thousands of visitors and by the press
of the city OF Buffalo. Nothing was ad-
United to exhibition in this building which
did not illustrate the highest type OF
mechanical and artistic excellence
Nothing has ever been found to take
the place Of the calendar nor ever will

beautiful and attractive. This Virginia

HIS PROPHECY CAME TRUE.
VerIacatIOn of n Harvard Predecessors
Prediction E- tO Our Present
Population.

Edward Wigglesworth. Hollis pro-
fessor Of divinity at Cambridge" IN a
little pamphlet published in the por-
.entous year of i7T5. must have had
correct idea Of the prosperity OF this
country during the century just closed.
a : he predicted that the population of
the British American colonies" in
1900 would be SO.0OO0O0, says the Ma
tionsl Magazine.
Included in this estimate was Move
Scotia. now the Dominion Of Canada.
which with its last recorded census re-
suit of 4.SOO.OO0 ADDED 10 the 100000
OF the United States fulflls almost to
the letter the accuracy Of the Wiggies-
worth prophecy. And this somewhat
remarkable forecast was not based
upon any species of guess work. but
upon a we'll defined and clearly con
structed mathematical theory. which.
reduced TO plain words. can be- best de-
scribed in the language of its author:
"The British-Americsns have dou-
bled their numbers in every period of
25 years from their first plantation"
Taking this statistical fact as basis
for his calculations the Harvard divin-
ity professor constructed a system ol
reckoning the increase of country
: population which history has shown &
be as correct as his method was simple
Assuming that the iT75 population
was 2.5o0. .0OO. Mr.. Wigglesworth esti
