POPULATION OF FRANCE.

The population Of France is almost stationary at
about 39,000000 although the returns Of the census
of 1901 show gain of 444,613 in five years from
1896 to 1901 The excess of births over deaths in
France during this period was 220,O42, which is more
encouraging than the showing made during pre-
Vious fve-year period, when the deaths outnum-
bered the births When the figures are placed against
those of any other European nation it appears that
the birth rate in France is far below the general
average, and that all other nations are increasing
more rapidly.
Of 96 departments and one military territory that
Of Belfort in France, there are only 19 departments
in which the population tends to increase These 19
departments are all adjacent to the Seine province
which includes the capital; or they possess large
town. are close to the frontier and receive large
foreign influx The increase in the population is
confined to the towns only. France possesses 81
cities with over $4,000 inhabitants, and since 1896
the population has increased in 81 Of them It is the
same in the smaller towns, but in the country dis
trcts the old aversion to large families not only pre-
walls but would seem to be increasing.

PACIFIC COAST CLIMATES EXPLAINED.

>~N~A
Now that the climates which make and unmake Sc
many sea-bounded countries are found to depend on
great ocean currents the study of the cold currents
has become as vital as the investigations into the
gulf stream and other currents like the great
klro siwo, which gives Japan her climatic prestige
says the New York Commercial.
To the busy reader the reeondte publications of
the photographers convey little of significance But
even the layman is aware that, under the Atlantic
as well the Pacific, is stratum of ice-cold water,
lying in places over 1000 fathoms below the surface
Curiousy enough these two great strata of 35degree
water are alike, moving slowly northward in the seas
south of the equator Taking their origin from the
Antarctic ice fields they both work northward.
The Atlantic stratum, however, comes to the sur
face in the equatorial region, having met an Arctic
current Of equal power the force of the contendng
currents resulting in pushing each other upward.
The cold waters from both poles thus commingle
with the warm waters of the equator in the Atlantic
The Pacific, on the other hand, being closed at the
NORTH there is great deep current of cold water
W AAcOs anu push up INC SuAAShs, anu :"
is the course and action of the unimpeded current
from the south poe directed and diverted by shore
lines and inequalities of ocean beds, and hastened
by the rotary thrust of the revolving earth to which
late investigations seem to ascribe the wonders of
the Pacific coast climate.
Starting from the Antarctic circle as a current
nearly 1000 miles in width, it is maintained that, in
its 5000 miles of journeying toward Alaska, this
current becomes gradually narrower and conse-
quenty of greater velocity, until, as the distance
from the earth axis dimnshes its retention of the
rapid eastward rotations acquired at the south
results in its being driven powerfully against the
western shores of our continent in about the latitude
of Sitka
The curve of the coast lines, the eastward rotary
thrust of the earth and the current has caromed on
the northern shore, and what was northward cur
rent on the Asiatic side has become southerly one
on the American side, and its waters are washing
the shores of our continent where they bestow the
coolness and moisture essential to an ideal climate
To this transmitted coOlness Of the Antarctic ice
Hawaiian writer ascribes the coolness, calm and ex-
empton from tempests which make "a genial par
adise of the otherwise sultry Hawaii"

This year, for the first time, all the children in
the schools of Berlin were examined as to their
health. There were $1,000 children and 3G examn.
ers. The results were astounding. Ten per cent Of
the children were found insuficienty developed in
body mind, and had to be excluded for half year
or longer; 16 per cent were not strong enough to
attend school, owing to the debilitating effect of
scarlet fever and other Diseases Is per cent suffered
from anaemia or scrofula per cent had tubercu-
losis trouble, ETC.

Perhaps the strangest use to which music can be
put is to stop the flow of blood from a wound. An
army doctor noticed that when a wounded soldier
was taken to within an easy hearing distance Of
music hemorrhage was greatly reduced or stopped
Neither he nor others, who confirmed his observa-
tons, could understand how this phenomenon was
brought about, but it is now said that the vibration
of the air produced by the music causes the patient
to become faint in which case the action of the heart
is SO considerably lessened that the overflow of blood
Is reduced.

Further interesting reports have been made by
Russian surgeons concerning the effects of japanese
bullets upon the soldiers of the armies of the czar
These surgeons say that the balls from the rifles Of
the warriors of the mikado are of such SIZE shape
and weight that they make small, clean wounds and
many of the Russians who are put out of the fighting
on battlefelds are speedily restored to sound con-
dtion 1t is not denied however, that the balls are
and disabling infantry while the clash of arms is
actually in progress and he would be cruel and pit
iless, indeed, who would desire higher death rate
among the opponents of the island empire.

Never having made any such assertion, The As

contention that the provisions of the direct primary
law which render it utterly impossible for the in

are at variance with the principles upon which our

set aside $4,000 for the entertainment of visitors
and that the individual expenditures of the New
York banks for this purpose will probably exceed
100000, Anticipating, possibly, an objection from
stockholders as to the proprety of such expendi-
ture from bank funds, a prominent bank official,
quoted by the American Banker says that it is per-
fectly proper,
with three or four thousand out-of-town bankers
in the city we have to give them good time and
incidentally strengthen connections in business
way. BY meeting delegate at the station and pro-
viding handsome carriage for his transportation
to the hotel and seeing that his wife and daughters
receive flowers and courteous attention as soon as
they are comfortably located, you can sometimes get
next to 100000 account. AT any rate, this sort
of thing will interest him great deal more than the
usual carefully written letter describing your sur
plus and heavy capitalization.
There is some method in the hospitality of these
New York bankers. However, it may not be fair
to criticize their open avowel. Millions are expended
in the country at large every year in extending cour
tesieS and hospitalites with similar motives which
are not always so frankly acknowledged,

In some of the cities of Maine, republicans and
democrats are very evenly divided and elections are
therefore most interesting. Voters seem to stick
closely to party lines and the smaller parties cut ab
soutely no figure, A copy of the Augusta Journal
just received gives the detailed vote of Waterville
for instance; The republican candidate for gov
ernor received 1851 votes to 1919 for his democratic
opponent The republican congressional candidate
received the governors 1919 votes while his opponent
received 1864 All three democratic candidates for
state senators received 1860, while two of the repub
icans received 1047 and the third 1850 The county
candidates received relatively the vote major
tiles of 6, 8, 10 and Is being numerous The close
vote there at least insures good government for the
opposing parties must put up the best men in order
to win.
