AMERICANS ~ PORTO RICO
Estimates Run From six Hundred to
Five Thousand.

The question is. how many Ameri-
cans are there in Porto Rico? The
number has been variously estimated
from 600 to 5000. but all estimates are
mere gueSses.
A census was taken in 1879 az the
close OF the year. and at that time. ac-
cording to the enumeration there were
1869 persons on the island who were
born in the United States. This was
one year after the occupation. and con-
ditions since then have changed so
that the figure is scarcely of any as
sistance at ali in estimating the number
now here. OF the total OF 1869 on the
island born in the United States. go

mon. which is the district where tho
capital is located. Of those in this
district nearly al resided In San Juan,

United states and residing here. only.
ISL were women.
OF course. these figures do not in
clude the soldiers who were here. and
excluding that element in the popula-
ton. we believe that most observers
will admit that the number Of Amer
leans on the island has increased since
that date and also that FOR a year or SO
the number has been decreasing.
Perhaps the year 1902 was the year

ing glass. No one else touched it dur
ing that trip, but it is more dangerous

human beings than a dog. Fortunate
ly most disease germs die easily, and it
is chiefly by the quite direct means Of
contact just suggested that the con-
tagious diseases pass from one to an
other If we put nothing into the
mouth except what belongs there, we
might ride in a car with diphtheria
patient and run no chance of catching
the disease. Disease germs do not fly

OUT OF WORK.
Tragedy of Unemployment to the
Man Who Is Aging

The tragedy of unemployment deep
ems in the case of those men who are
visibly aging. passing prematurely in
to that condition when society has nei-
ther use nor regard for their services.
The development of the modern city
life in its feverish thirst for gain
sucks up the activities of the young.
Work can always be found for the
children. But the man of forty has al
ready become suspect AT fifty there is
evidently stretching before him the
bleak old age OF the unwanted poor.
The despairing clutch of the aging at
any degrading occupation which be-
fore they would have scorned is one of
the commonest and pitifulest sights of
modern life l think of those whom 1
have known, those who dye their hair
to keep the appearance of youth, the
applicants for positions, their efforts
toward responsibility, the ink lined
coat, the shabbiness concealed, the at
tempt, always so grotesque and inef-
fective, TO strike the right note be-
tween dignity that will command re-
spect and an eagerness that will be-
come a mere mendicant pleading for
aid.
l remember one with a record Of
over thirty years consistent service,
exhibiting hands twisted and gnarled
with disease, who shuftles daily
through his work with the help of
kindly comrades, fearing each day to
be detected. Though the work itself is
an agony, the one panic fear is not
that he shall be compelled but that he
shall be forbidden to continue. l think
of others tucked away out of sight In
the recesses of tenement dwellings,
flung aside from the active machinery
of the world, who cannot quite bring

professions or solicit promiscuous
charity of the crowd who cling to the
desperate hope that one day the cloud

THE BODY OF THE SUN.
In Its Density 1t Resembles Some
what II Globe of Tar.

1t is generally agreed that the ma.
body of the sun-the nucleus within,
the photosphere-m be purely case
Gus. This seems to be an unavoidable
conclusion from the suns low mean
density and its tremendous internal
temperature. which must almost GER
tainly be far higher than that OF its
outer surface, SO high that even the
enormous dorce of solar gravity is able
to compress the vapors to density on
~ one and four-tenths that of water.
although among the constituent ele-
ments are many of the metals Gron be-
ing the most conspicuous) which in
the solid or liquid state are from three
to eight times as dense. The reader
must not imagine. however, that this
gaseous nucleus Is like air or other
gases as we encounter them upon the
earth. Denser than water and strong
ly viscouS from the heat, it more re-
sembles a globe of tar except near the
outside. There the yapors relieved
from pressure are free to expand and

The photosphere or luminous surface
is generally believed to be what il

| the nucleus and consisting of minute
drops and crystals formed from those
vapors which condense at the highest

atmosphere composed of the perma-
nent gases like hydrogen and helium
mixed with the more numerous vapors
which c6ndense only at far lower tenn
peratures than those that form the
clouds. As to the substances which
compose the cloud particles. opinions
are unsettled. !. Professor G. A. Young
