His Prophecy Came True.

Edward Wigglesworth. Hollis pro-
fessor of divinity ut Cambridge" in a
little pamphlet published in the porten-
tous year of 1775, must have had cor
rect idea of the prosperity of this coun-
try during the century just closing, as
he predicted that the population Of the
British American colonies in 1900
would be SO,OOO,0OO.
Included in this estimate was Nova
Scotia, now the Dominion of Canada,
which with its last recorded census re-
suit of J. 500, 600 added to the 1GOOO,OO
of the United States fultills almost to
the letter the accuracy of the Wiggles-
worth prophecy. And this somewhat
remarkable forecast was not based up
on any species of guess work, but upon
a well defined and clearly constructed
mathematical theory, which, reduced
to plain words, can be best described in
the language of its author:
'The British Americans have doubled
their numbers in every period of
twenty-five years from their first plan
tation."
Taking this statistical fact as basis
for his calculations the Harvard divin-
ity professor constructed system of
reckoning the increase of a country's
population which history has shown to
be as correct as his method was simple.
Assuming that the 1875 population
was 2.5OO,OOO Mr.. WiggleswOrth esti-
mated 5,OOO,O 900 for 1900. 100000 for
1925, 2O,OOO,OOO for 1850. 100000 900 for
1873 and SO.OOO.OOO for 1900. and the
record Of the United States census since
its initial taking In 1890 shows sub
stantially these figures, as follows:
Census of 1900, 5,3OS,OOO; 1925 $500.
