In his estimates for next year Rear
Admiral TAYLOR, Chief of the Bureau Of
Navigation Of the Navy Department, has
made new departure by including an item
of 5000 for athletic exercises and sports"
II the amount be allowed by Congress, there
will be no lack OF ways in which to spend
it. The annual football game between
the Naval and the Military academies is
worthy OF official support; an athletic equip
mcnt at each Of the larger navy yards Is
also desirable. and prizes for field sports,
as well as for boat races. would serve to
increase interest among the sailormen in
keeping in condition, and would lessen the
monotony Of ship life, and produce more
contentment and consequent efficiency on
shipboard. Field sports by sailors seem
out of place; but many vessels have baseball
and football teams on board. and every
chance to practise offered by a stay in port
s taken eagerly. 1t will be a good thing
for the navy IL Admiral TAyLoRs curious
estimate is approved by Congress.

The Population OF China.

The Chinese Government has made a
recensus of the population Of China
proper. according to which the inhabi-
tants number about 428,OOO,OO souls.
There are reasons for believing that this
figure may be approximately correct.
The figures for China's population usu-
ally printed have been those of the Chi
nese census modified by writer's on China
whose opinions are regarded as worth
considering. Faith in the Chinese fig
ures has fuctuated; at times they have
been accepted for years and then re-
jected on account of the increasing
number OF writers who disputed their
accuracy.
In recent years more credence has
been given to the Chinese statistics Of
population. Two years ago, Mr.. +. NJ.
KoHLER, German geographer we'll
acquainted with various parts Of China,
expressed the view that though the
methods of the Chinese census are in
exact they are more trustworthy than
the estimates OF foreigners who know
only a small part OF the country. He
gave excellent reasons for assuming
that $50, 900 600, the Chinese figure Of
1882, was approximately accurate; and
this has been generally accepted by
statisticians for the population Of the
country twenty years ago. The present
enumeration is only l3, OOO 900 more than
the Chinese figure for 1872.
We have little idea in our country of
the density OF population produced by
crowding 428, 900, 900 people into China
proper. That region is less than half as
large as the Unit ed States without Alaska !;
and yet, if the present figures are ac-
cepted, there are about as many people
in the nineteen provinces as in the whole
Of Europe and nearly six times as many
as there are in the United States. We
may perhaps give an idea of the density
of population on the plains of China,
where the people live most thickly to-
gether, by stating that il the whole popu-
lation Of the United States and A., 900, 900
more were crowded into the State of
Texas the density Of population would be
about equal to that of the Yangtse Valley
and of the plain extending north and
south between the lower courses OF the
iangtse and the Hoang rivers.
No wonder the Chinese are compelled
TO terrace and till their mountain slopes
even to height Of 5000 feet; and that
every square foot Of land that can be
made to raise food is kept in constant
service and at the highest point of fer
tility. In his book Through Hidden
Shensi,T Mr.. NICHOLS gives graphic
picture Of these terraced mountains
which he saw everywhere in the northern
provinces west of the plains Of Chilli. He
found the rugged beauty of the noun
tains obscured by the terraces that cover
them from base to summit. These ter
races are kept in place by stone walls
about four feet high extending along
the mountain slopes. Every inch Of
ground between the mountain side and
the edge of the walls is under cultivation,
usually with wheat or some other variety
Of grain. One of his photographs gives
a remarkable view Of a plain almost
circular in form surrounded by noun
tains whose terraces, viewed from a
superior height, look like tiers of seats
in some colossal amphitheatre.
