CENSUS REPORT BEATS RECORD
Volume Prepared in Much Less Time
than Predecessors.


The director Of the census has issued
the first half of the final census report
on population, showing the aggregate
population of the United States by States
and territories, the density of population,
the center of population in its medium
point, the population of Alaska and OF
the Hawaiian Islands, the number OF
Representatives apportioned under the
recent act Of Congress, and also the popu-
lation of the States and territories by
minor civil divisions, the population OF
cities having $4,000 inhabitants or more
in 1900, the increase of population IN the
same, and the population of Incorporated
cities, towns, villages and boroughs In
the year 1900.
This report is issued in the form of
monograph and comprises about 900
pages. The other portion of the final re-
port on population will be issued during
the early fall, putting the entire volume
in the hands of the public at least four
years in advance Of any previous census.
Most OF the features of the volume have
received attention from the press hereto
fore. 1t shows that excluding the Dis
trict of Columbia, which is in effect a mu-
nicipality, Rhode Island, with 407 inhab-
itants to the square mile in 1900, is the
most densely settled State in the Union,
while Massachusetts, comes next, with
not quite $40 inhabitants to the square
mile. New Jersey, with a little more
than go inhabitants to the square mile.
is the third State in point of density OF
population while Connecticut, with some
what more than 1877 Inhabitants to the
square mile, occupies fourth place. -Four
other States had more than one hundred
inhabitants to the square mile In l9uU,
namely New York, with 1925 inhabit-
ants; Pennsylvania, with 140.1 inhabit-
ants; Maryland. with 1908 Inhabitants,
and Ohio, with 102 inhabitants to the
square mile.
Alaska has, on the average, but one
tenth of one person to the square mile,
and Nevada has only four-tenths of one
person to the square mile.A Wyoming has
not quite one inhabitant to the square
mile, while Arizona, New Mexico, Mon
tana and Idaho have less than two per-
sons to the square mile
The newly acquired territory of Hawaii
shows an average density of population
of not quite "a persons, ranking in this
respect between Maine. with 23.2 per-
sons, and Arkansas, with 24.7 persons to
the square mile.

Air Torpedo.

The Swedish government has given
5000 kroner (S1,S4O) to Major w. T.
Unge for the purpose of making fur
Their experiments with the air torpedo
invented by him. Major Unge's inven-
ton is patented under the name of the
flying torpedo" is intended TO convey
through the air large explosive
charges for considerable distances, and
loaks Ike an elongated cannon shell.
1t is propelled through the air in the
same manner as rocket. In a sep
arate compartment the torpedo con-
tains some kind of slow-burning chem
zeal composition, the propelIing charge
which generates gases in large auan-
titles. In the base of the shell is a
turbine through which these gases es-
cape, thus furnishing the motive pow
er and causing the shell TO rotate
around its axis.

CHAPTER II.


Looking back upon that time, now 1t Is
past, and has rounded itself into that
perfect star saw not when l dwelt there
in" it would be untrue TO represent my
self as in any way unhappy. At times
l wished earnestly that had been born
among the people with whom | had now
come to live.
Tardif led a somewhat solitary life
himself. even in this solitary island. with
its scanty population. There was an ugly
church. but Tardif and his mother did
not frequent it. They belonged to a
little knot of dissenters, who met for
worship in a small room, when Tardif
generally took the lead. For this reason
a sort Of GOODNESS existed between him
and the larger portion of his fellow ISL
anders.
But there was a second and more im-
portant cause of estrangement. He had
married an Englishwoman many years
ago, much to the disappointment Of his
neighbors; and since her death he had
held himself aloof from all the good wom-
en- who would have been glad enough TO
undertake the task of consoling him for
her loss. Tardif, therefore, was left
NCAs L44Nh " AlLiSGIL III lis lSOAdlGO w
tage; and his mothers deafness caused
her also to be no very great favorite with
any of the gossips of the island.
| learned afterwards that Tardif had
said my name was Olivier. and they
jumped to the conclusion that belonged
to a family of that name in Guernsey;
this shielded me from curiosity. l was
nobody but a poor woman who was lodg-
ing in the spare room of Tardif's cot
tage. l set myself to grow used to their
mode of life, and if possible to become
so useful to them that when my money
was all spent they might be willing to
keep me with them. As the long, dismal
nights of winter set in, with the wind
sweeping across the island for several
days together with dreary, monotonous
moan which never ceased, generally sat
by their fire; for ! had nobody but Tar

vague assurances of friendliness on
the part of single Senator amount to i?
Should the Cubans pretend to take
them seriously it would only be for
the somewhat sterile satisfaction of
piling up the morals" to make them
artistically complete. They would
know as well as any American politi-
clan that the practical side of the
question was left untouched. Its i'm
port, however. is not mystery. 1t
was quite apparent when the National
Cigar Leaf Association decided to lob
to Cuba.
The undeniable fact is that certain
interests in this country propose to
milk Cuba. If we control the island
under the Plat amendment they will
oppose reciprocity. If we annex the
island they will oppose free trade. They
have no thought of uniform laws, and
if they believed that annexation would
bring them about they would throng
the corridors of the Capitol to prevent
any such contamination. The kind of
annexation which they might favor
would leave Cuba outside the Consti-
tuition, and under unequal laws made
in Washington. This would be an
ideal condition from their standpoint
and particularly advantageous for the
milking process.
1t is evident, therefore. why the Gu
ban radicals prefer the amendment to
annexation, whatever they may think
of the chances of reciprocity. The de-
velopments incline them to keep as
clear as possible from the dictation Of
the hostile interests here.-Chicago

nearly all cloth gowns of late have been
free of such fiXings. An example of this
new treatment appears beside to-day
initial in gown Of nuns yelling whose
skirt fiounce and bodice covering were
black silk muslin. This material was
pale gray figured with a ring of old rose.
Figured nuns yelling and albatross are
the height of style just now and prom
Use to be worn a great deal.
While cloth gowns are thus taking on
Celebrations, there is a noticeable in
crease of silk dresses made in semblance
of tailor finish. A few are quite as Sc
we're as the usual tailor treatment given
to cloth, but more often there are
touches of delicacy in the trimming. This
last seems the more harmonious scheme
to employ in silk, and similarly the few
dresses wherein the tailoring is we'll dis
guised by abundant trimming do not ap-
pear in poor taste. A very useful form
of this dress is in dull brown taffeta, of
grayish softness, and is made with skirt
faring handsomely and a jaunty coat
open over a waistcoat, this worn over a
dainty fancy waist or front. Taffetas
are tucked, corded and hemstitched, and
strap finish, strapping with cloth and
satin, and silk braid are seen. A touch
of dull Persian embroidery on the inner
edge of the coat, at the collar or at the
waist line Of the coat in the back looks
well. Buttons covered with Persian
goods or ornamented with Persian enam-
ell are also used.
This grade of gowns is well represent
ed by the second of to-day's illustrations.
First is brown taffeta, with trimming
of black and white veIvet and dark green
satin folds. Dark blue and white check
ed fOulard was the fabric of the next
gown, piping of lettuce green velvet and
a cream lace collar appliqued with pink
chiffon roses serving as trimming. Be
tween the scallops of the skirt could be
seen a lettuce green silk petticoat The
third gown was red and white striped
silk grenadine. Bands of white silk held
by silver buttons, bodice and skirt panel

usual way at this point or IL the belt is
wide it may be laced up at both sides.
A cluster Of turquoises or a band Of
enamel embellishes some Of the gold
buckles which are favored at present for
neck wear, but the plain gold buckle is
the leader. Buckles OF white or smoked
pearl are also worn and black enamel
with a touch Of gold.
Flower boas are among the dainty nov
elites in neck trimmings. P0ppies and

ends are Of accordiOn-p Ieated chiffon, fin

ing in this picture is a gown trimmed in
this way, the goods being moss green
cheviot, the trimming applique of black
silk and gilt cord. By this trick an in
elaborate gown of severely simple out
line may take ON a look of dressiness.
Stitched band trimming, usually Louisine
silk or taffeta, is not quite so decora-
tive, yet is a bit newer.

THE extent to which pauperized
European conditions are creeping
into the great cities of the United
States is but little realized by those
living outside of the dense centers
of population. Partly because of
an unrestricted immigration, which
has brought to this country by the
thousands people of the Latin races
of southern Europe, with their poor
standards Of living and their utter
lack of personal independence and
dignity, and partly because of the
bitterness of competition in certain
trades, some sections of our great
cities have ceased to present the
appearance of the homes of civil
lized, intelligent and ambitious
American men and women. They
are worse than the famous London
Whitechapel, worse than the ghet-
tos of continental cities.
