The Movements Of Population.

The Movements of Population.
--aialthusian Theory Upset in the Uni
ted States.
n'he Increase in the population Of the
principal nations during the past 100
years constitutes an Interesting stGdy.
Population exerts a potent influence
upon the prosperity or d~ecadence of u
nation. For lack of men frequently
one country has been conquered by
another. So also by reason Of plaques
and other diseases countries have been
shorn of a large percentage of inhab-
i.ants, thereby becoming impoverished
in money and power, says the Boston
Globe"
Prof. Hickman, of Berlin, is the
latest economist to make a study of the
principal populations, and the tables
he has prepared are a lesson in world
history. Following is the progress of
the different powers by populations,
the figures denoting millions:
120a.-Rresir. 80; Italy. 49,; France,
%; Great Britain, 1G; Austria Hun
gary, 90; Spain, II; Germany, 81; Uni
ted States, 3.
fS5O.-Russia, GO; Great Britain, 81;
France, 85; Italy, "a; Germany, SS;
United States, "a; Austria-H Hungary 81;
Spain, IA.
19OO.-Russia, 112; Great Britain, A.;
United States, &c; France. 50; Ger
many, IS; Italy, 80; Austria-Hungary'
45; Spain, Is.
Students of history will readily
make interesting deductions from
tLese figures.
The general inference that popula-
ton constitutes an exact index OF ma
tional power, however, cannot be adopt
cd in several instances. For example,
Great Britain should stand higher in
the scale because she Is able to add
other foreign figures to her present
41,GOO,OoO.
Moreover, Austria.Hungary is fig
ured as belonging TO a lower rank than
France because the unity of the dual
monarch is considered less certain
than that Of the French republic.
It must also be admitted that the
low population makes the figures OF
that empire not as formidable as might
be supposed. Nevertheless, Prof. HIck.
man declares: eve must admit that
Russia, from 1900 to 1900, has been n
Grst.class power"
The disasters which oyertcok Rus
STA in Japan might have happened to
numerous other powers which consider
themselves very influential in inferno
tional affairs.
The most notable feature Of the
above table is the movement of
population in France and the United
States. France only advanced from
in 1900 to 100000 in 1900,
whereas during the same period the
United states increased from 100000.
to 7G.oOGOoO.
During the same period the popula'
ton of the smaller countries Is rep

ulation and influence in the Latin
countries, Prof. Hickman says: "The

ally, Spain and Portugal have lost

The normal increase in population,
excluding immigration, bears an inter
esting relation to the calculations Of
Thomas Nautilus, who published his
celebrated essay on the principle OF
population as long ago as 1898. In his
essay Nautilus develops the idea that
population has a constant tendency to
increase rather than the means OF sub
sistence. To his mind, the conse-
quences of this principle we're Of the
greatest Importance because from It
would follow the iron law that the low
est order of humanity must always be
on the verge of starvation, because
population will increase beyond the
utmost limit of subsistence" This the
org is upset in the United States,
where the general production of har-
vests is more than sufficient for the
people, If ne products were not Cor
rered" and sold at high prices here
and abroad.

means of subsistence, and increased

MATCHMAKING IN ENGLAND
Art Has Several Times Been Lost to
British Workmen Since the
Reign of Queen Mary.

The history of making needles in
England is u curious one. for the
art has been several times lost To
English workmen since the reign
of Queen Mary.
Needles were first made in Eng.
land at that time by a negro from
Spain. who set up IA shop and for
Il time prospered at his trade. Al
his death it was found that he had
taught the trade 10 no one. and the
English had To 90 abroad for their
needles until 1866. when ii German
artisan taught Il few mechanics
the manner of their making.
The trade soon died out again
for some reason. and not until
1850 was il revived by Il foreign
workman. who conducted his op.
cratiOns on so large Il scale that
there was no longer any danger of
the secret of their manufacture
being lost.
This was the first time that the
method of making them was nOt
shroudcd in secrecy. and soon the
manufacture of needles became an
important industry, the White.
chapel needles becoming famous
the world over.
There are now several centprs.

noticed in the attendance of the
ill-fed and weaker children-the
very ones who could least afford to

comes from Havre that the free
