SOUTIlIS GROWING.

The Director of the Census announced
Monday the percentage of increase Of
population in different parts of the coun-
try, showing for the last decade a rapid
decrease from previous rate of growth of
population in the West; less marked,
but decided, decrease in the North and a
slight increase in the South. For the first
time in the history of this country the
population of the South has increased
somewhat more rapidly than that of the
North The East, geographically, is in
cluded in the term North. The rate of
the growth in the North, West and South
is far more nearly the same than it ever has
been. The official announcement divides
the country as follows: West, from the
Pacific to the eastern boundary of Mon
tana, Wyoming, Colorado and New Next
CO; North and South, the respective sides
or a line formed by the Potomac and Ohio
Rivers and the southern boundaries of
Missouri and Kansas. The percentage Of
increase from 1860 to 1880 was 61.9 in the
North; 4S in the South, and 1875 6 in the
West while in the last 20 years, 1880 1900,
it was 4S in the North, As ) in the South
and 1915 in the West.
Prior to the Civil War the Northern
States nearly doubled in population with
each 20 years, while in the Southern States
the increase Of population was only about
two-thiris as great.
Since 1860 the rate of growth in both
parts of the country has been much less;
but while the rate of growth in the North
has decreased steadily, that in the South
during the 30 years from 1860 to 1880 has
been slightly less. During the last 90
wears there has been no substantial differ
ence in the rates of growth of the two
sections. The rer cent. of increase of
growth of til, Sc regions during each Of
the last two 10 year periods follows:
1880 80, North, 2t.e; South, col; West,
II 1S9O-l90o, North, 10; South, % T.;
West, 81 8.
If the comparison is limited to the states
east ofthe Mississippi River, chasing Min
nesota and Louisiana with the Western
States, the result is slightly different. 1t
would show the increase to be: 1880 90,
North, 90 /; South, lG 1890 1900, North.
1919: South, IL.
When the Transmissi,sippi States are
omitted the rate of growth in the North
is slightly greater than that in the South;
but the present difference between the
two sections in this respect is about one
half what it was between 1899 and 1890,
and less than one seventh of what it was
between 1850 and 1850
The frontier as large area If rapid, but
intermittent, growth is no longer an i'm
pOrtant fictnr in the progress of Ameri
can population, and the rair of growth in
the several great areas Of the United
States is now nearly the same.

PRIMARY ELECTIONS.

Delegate Painter, of Baltimore ccun-
~, has introduced in the House :,
Primary Election bill, which will ap-
ply to the whole State. The main fa-
lures of the bill are as follows:
l. All voters are asked 10 state
their party utilization upon rcgistra-
ton.
2. An official ballot.
3. Secret ballot.
4. As little interference as possible
with party usage and customs consist
ant with strict and effective law.
5. Precinct voting. All costs, *
cept pay Of judges, including poll
rooms, paid by Baltimore city. In
the counties cost of tickets and pay of
inspectors only paid by the public.
6. The register of election Of same
party to he inspector at primaries of
his party and to make oath as to all
violations uel non occurring in his pre-
cinct. The report of such violation
must lie sent to the grand jury and an
inspector summoned TO make cxami-
nation.
I. A moderate expense in the city
to the public and nominal expense in
the counties, also nominal costs, 10
candidates.
8. Manner of voting the same as at
general elections.
Difficulty has always been expert
enced in passing Primary Election
law from the fact that it is almost i'm.
possible to frame one whose provisions
will give general satisfaction. The
question will probably be thoroughly
considered and discussed this winter

The BEGINNING Of Ostrich Farms.

Fifty years ago the domestiCation OF
the ostrich was an idea secuted Ivy
most Of the biologists who had given
time and thought TO the subject Their
young. IL was believed. could not bc
raised in a state of captivity. The
great demand for ostrich feathers was
then met 10y hunting and killing wild
birds. and there were indications that
the species would soon become extinct.
But. in the early sixties, French
scientist named Gosse issued pamph-
let in which he argued that the domeS-
tication OF the ostrich was feasible and
practicable. and not long afterward a
brood OF oStriches was reared in the
city Of AlgierS. Gosse's pamphlet and
news OF the experiment In Algiers be-
came familiar TO two farmers In Cape
Colony, who determined 10 undertake
the domestication Of ostriches in South
Africa BEGINNING with two birds,
which they caught and placed in an in
closure. In a twelvemonth they had
brood Of eighty. which marked the
birth Of new industry which has
played a potential part in the develop
ment and commerce of a vast region.

any other purpose are now devoted 20

Clung to Ledge over Abyss.

Three young men Of Vienna left AZ
daybreak a few days ago for the RaX
Alp. intending 10 climb over the Cats

They lost their way and the two best
climbers left the third, named Grubler
in a spot where he could neither get
forward nor turn pack. He could just
room enough for his feet and scraggy
pine 10 hold on by.
While he was waiting for a signal
from his friends. who had the rope
and were lashed together, he suddenly
heard a noise above him, and. looking
up. saw his Two friends flying over q
precipice head foremost He grasped
the tree tightly, and the next moment
his hat was kicked off by one OF the
falling men, who disappeared in an
abyss 600 feet deep.
His cries for help were answered az
ter many hours Of agony. Those who
leaned over the precipice could not see
him. and they lowered a rope and
shouted TO him 10 tie il around his
waist.
Though the rope was $50 feet long
il did not reach him. Darkness came
on and the expedition had TO return
home il It would reach the valley in
safety. The lonely man was told 10
keep heart until daybreak, when his
rescuers would return.
The next day at a. n. they were
on the spot again, and a master glazier
