the population now being nearly 10
times greater than in 1890. Nearly
two-ffths of the counties OF the
state have shown a decrease. One
county (Hooker) shows in the census
report an increase OF only for the
decade. Lincoln has population
over 3 times as great as in 1880,
0mahass advance has not been nearly
so great, but South Omaha has grown
very rapidly, and mostly in the past
10 years. This latter city is over three
times as great as in 1890.
Illinois has an area Of Sc, 900 square
miles, and for each square mile Gland
surface) there are So inhabitants.
The past decade has seen a great
er increase in population than any
previous decade in the history of
the state. This increase has lacked less
than 5000 of being 100000. Only 6
counties out of the 1o2 have shown
decrease in population. All the rest
have shown rather steady advance in
the decade. There are $40 incorpo
rated cities, towns and villages in Illi-
nois. In 1s4o Chicago had only 4,47o in
habitants. The city's present popula-
tion Of 1,6es,575 is over 357 times the
former figure. Peoria is the second
city in the state, and then come in or
der the following cities: Quincy,
Springfield, Rockford, East st. Louis
and Joliet.
All of Minnesota's So counties have
increased in population since 1890.
The largest increase is in Hem

THE 10 ORIGINAL STATES.

In 1890 the various states in rank
of population were as follows: ~ Vir-
ginia, (2) Pennsylvania, (a) North Car
olina, a. Massachusetts,, (5) New
York, (6) Maryland. (7) South Caro-
lima. (s) Connecticut, (9) New Jersey,
(10) New Hampshire. (11) Georgia, (129
Rhode Island and l13) Delaware.
The order in rank. Of these states has
considerably changed since the first
census, being now as follows: (D
New York, ~ Pennsylvania, 90 Mas
sachusetts, (4) Georgia, Isl North Car
olinas TO- New Jersey (7l Virginia, (s)
South Carolina, (9) Maryland, (1o) Con-
necticut. (1D Rhode Island, (12) New
Hampshire and (13) Delaware.
Pennsylvania and Delaware are the
only ones among the original states
at the present time holding the same
relative rank in population as in 1870.
Pennsylvania is the only one holding
the. same absolute position, being I'd
now as in 1890. Delaware is now 46th
in rank among the present states and
territories.
In 1890. Virginia was first among the
states, and New York 5th. New York
is now first and Virginia is 18th among
the original states and 18th among all
the states and territories of the union.
Georgia has made the most notable
leap among the original states in the
matter of rank, being 11th in 1870, and
4th now among the original states.
Another notable fact in this same com
nection rs thatin 1T9o the population
of the territory now embraced in the
state of Maine and The population of
what is now Vermont, in each case ex-
ceeded in number the population Of
Georgia. Georgia is still d1th in the
column of states, as in 1890, and Maine
has been reIegated to 3oth place and
Vermont to 10th. Still. another notable
fact is the rate of Georgia's growth
in the past 40 years as compared with
the rate Of growth Of the other states.
Georgias present population is just
under RI times what it was IN 1890.
The nearest approach to this among
the IS states is. in the case of New York,
whose population is about q times
what it was when the first national
census was taken.

Robert Aobe before the New Yerk
Academy Of Medicine.
The problems of surgery to-day are

although there is vastly more surgical
work done. This period has seen great
changes in the class Of cases fhatfal

strangulated hernfas were extremely
common; to-day. owing to the vast
number of radical cures. they are com
paratiyely rare. Pyaemie joints and
assesses were then the daily care of
the surgeon; to-day they constitute
a small proportion of active work.
Abseess of the kidney, 50 fatal then, is
now relatively infrequent, owing to
care in preventing eystifis with as
eending infection, due to the use of
Impure eatheters. Anenrisms and
tertiary bone LESSONS are comparative
ly rare, owing to better understand
ing OF primary and secondary diseases.
tuberculosis LESSONS seem to me. also,
to be much less common. owing to
more careful isolation of the infected
subjects, better house sanitation, and
milk and food control. In fact, it
would seem that the statement were
almost true, that no profession is do
ing as much as ours to end It's own
existence. Yet. as soon as one problem

SOME POPULATION
FACTS and FIGURES
Compiled from Returns OF the 18th Census,
HI. C.
HOW STATES HAVE GROWN.

The population OF Michigan is more
than SOS times as large as that given
for 1910, the date Of the first census
taken in that territory.
Indiana holds second place in the
matter of phenomenal increase in pop
ulation between the taking of the first
and of the last census. The inhab-
itants of the state now number over
446 times what the returns gave in
1900.
illinois is third in this classification
of the states, its population now num-
bering over 392 times what it did in
1916. The close proximity of these
three states is worthy of note, as also is
their almost Simultaneous settlement.
Minnesota comes fourth in such q
classification of the states, but her rec
ord is really as wonderful as that of
Michigan. for it is TO be considered
that her first census was taken as late
~ as 1850, at which time Michigan's
population was 397 ,654, and Minnesota's
only 6,o77. Minnesota now has a pop
ulation exceeding 2ss times the latter
figure.
Mississippi has multiplied its popu-
lation IT'S times within the century
just closed. The two Dakotas come
along each having at the present time
a population nearly $50 times as large
IS at the first census taken in those
localities. The Dakotas' increase is
really larger, however. than Missouri's,
because the comparisons are made.
with Missouri's census of 1910 and that
of the Dakotas in 1860 Ohio has a
population s11s times greater than she
had a century ago, and Arkansas fig
ures show q population now 80 times
greater than in 1920.
