The PeOpleS Of the Earth.

According to recent calculations
there are about 800 millions of hui
man beings now living on the face OF
the earth. or these 500 millions are
dwellers In Asia, $50 millions innabit
Europe, more than 100 millions dwell
in North and South America. and 1t is
supposed that Africa contains over 200
~millions-the rest belong to the islands
scattered all over the globe. In regard
to color, black men and white men
between them dispose OF 500 millions,
and 700 millions are made up of brown,
yellow and red men. One-third OF tho
human rae wear clothes, but in spite
OF the looms OF Lancashire. one-sixth
wear nothing, and the rest are only
partially clad. One-third live In
houses, nearly one-half dwell in caves
or huts, while the rest are houseless.
