greater population than New England
and It exceeds IN the number or 10 M
habitants many territories governed by
kings. BY the latest figures 1t has more
than six and one-half million people. or
about one-seventh of all the people Of
Great Britain and Ireland and one-fourth
Of all those who live in cities.
I have gone to the top Of the monument
to the top of St. Paul's and out to Ham
stead Heath to try and get a view of the
city, but at no place have been able
to see 1t all. It extends on and on. a
vast wilderness. which shrouds the whole
in an autumn haze and at times makes
you think you are looking through spec
tacles of smoked glass. The smoke is SO
thick that it clogs the chimneys, and in
some parts of the city the chimney
sweeps clean them three times a year.
The city extends out for a radius of If
teen miles from Charing Cross; 1t en-
braces an area OF about seven hundred
square miles, equal to two thousand eight
hundred quarter sections farms, and In
It there are nine hundred thousand in
habited houses and seven thousand miles
of streets and roads.

good looking. and as a rule tall and

In the crowd I saw faces Of every ma

there were carriages. coaches and four

Effect Of Weather on Health.

A preternaturally dry air with a
high temperature predispoSes to the
development OF feves and intestinal
disorders.
A very moist atmosphere accompa-
MED by low temperature is likely to
induce bronchial affections and rheu-
matism. In summer and autumn the
tendency TO sickness and death is
chiefly connected with digestive or
gans.
In summer and autumn a rise Of
mean temperature above the average
Increases the number Of cases OF, and
the mortality from diseases OF the d.
gestiye organs.
A cold and rainy summer controls
the prevalence and fatality OF dlarr-
hoeal diseases.
Diarrh0eal diseases became epidemic
when the subsoil temperature at a
depth OF four feet reaches $50 degrees

The physiological effects OF climate
embrace the degrees Of humidity, ,fogs,
