The Presidential Vote.

What will be the total vote cast 10 this
years presidential election Is question
which many active politicians are now
endeavoring to solve. Will 1t re fleet the
large increase in population, due to
naturalization, shown by the monthly
census reports and 10 the courts, or will
it be less In 1904 than In the election Of
four years ago, as the vote of 1900 was
less than 10 1885,
Ia 1884 the total vote was 10,068, 900 !:
in 1888, II, 1000; In 1892, II, $50, 900
which was substantial increase. In
1896, an election OF more than average
Importance, and after a campaign of ur-
usual vigor the vote was l4,070 600.
In 1900 the total vote was 13, 1867 900 a
decrease from that OF four years before.
Since 1900 no new states have been
admitted. In several since 1900 dis
franchising election laws have been es-
tabDshed through constitutional provi-
sion. In othes states new conditions Of
naturalization have been proy.ssed. The
acceptance of the party primary as a sui
sttute for the election In those states In
which one party is In overwhelming
majority often diminishes the total vote
cast, the vote at the primary, being larg-
er, usually, than the vote at the succeed
ing election.

The greatest cities of ancient times
were Babylon and Rome. The former
Is said to have had an area of 100 to
200 square miles. Its houses were
three or four stories high. but palaces
and gardens occupied much of the vast
area, 50 that the population was not
what these figures would seem to In
dicate. In fact, IT Is said by one his
torian that nine-tenths of this area
was taken up by gardens and orcherds
The total population of the city under
Nebuchadnezzar and his son Evil Nero
dach Is estimated at upward Of 2,00o,-
900. Rome reached It's greatest size
during the fourth century of our era,
and its population was then about
100000.

1t Is rather remarkable that the flrst
patent taken out In America should
have been secured by an Englishman.
It was In the middle of the seventeenth
century that an Englishman named
Jenk secured monopoly in America
for the sale of hand machine for ex-
tingulshing fires which he had invent
ed In England some years previously,
but did not test its practical working
until he migrated to America. The mo-
nopoly only lasted for fourteen years,
but Jenk made very ample fortune
out Of his sales of the apparatus.-Lon-

recalled her visit to him, and then she
pointed to the brooch she wore-a
brooch Of gold and brilliants with the

Bumps on the Head.

The lump raised by blow on the
head Is due to the resistance offered
by the hard skull and its close connec-
ton with the movable elastic scalp by
many circumscribed bands of connec-
tive tissue.
The result Of blow, when the scalp
Is not cut, Is the brulsing and lacera-
ton of many of the SMALL blood yes
sells or capillaries. Blood or Its fluid
constituent, serum, is poured into the
meshes of the surrounding connective
tissue, which Is delicate, spongy, dis
tensible and cellular. and the well
known bump or lump Is quickly
formed. This cannot push inward at
all and naturally tnkes the line Of least
resistance. Similar Jumps may be
formed on the shin in exactly the same
way, for the shin bone also Is covered
only by skin and simultaneous con-
nective tissue.
