The Population of Ireland.

lIoulSNllle tOurleT-JOuTudl.
 The Registrar General of Ireland has been making some estimates as to the present population. and has reached the conclusion xnat for de- cade 1t has remained substantially sta. tionary at four and a half millions Last year the births reported in the island exceeded the deaths by 27.761. In other countries 1t has been found that the reports of births are less complete than those of deaths, and this may be the case in Ireland. If we treat the births AS completely reported. the ex- cess over deaths is nov sufficient to cover the emigration, which is put at 30,S76 However. there is some immi- grafton, and though 1t is small 1t may reasonably be assumed that 1t is suffi- cient to prevent any positive decrease in the number of inhabitants. In 1S4l the population of Ireland was S.1sS.- S53. In the next decade came the great famine. and in 1851 the population had fallen to s,5l4.473. In 1861 there was a further reduction to b,79S,s24. and in ls7l to 6,i02,759. The present popula- ti1n is not much over half what :t once was. having been greatly reduced by l emigration. 1903 1t fell below .30.000. hut in the next year rose to S7,000. Last year 1t was not much more than , in 1903,

Rered when two-thirds of the month of August has passed. The city stretches back toward the mountains and derives it's food supply. from a splendid valley which extends toward the west to the Atlantic. At one time Granada had a population of 25,O00 but today less than a third of that number can be. counted in the city. In the height of It's glory Granada's kings held court in oriental fashion and sur rounded themselves with luxury which the colder countries of the north did not attempt to initiate. When the Indians roamed over the prairies and hunted throug the for ests of the western hemisphere. the Arab ruler had his palace on the height of Alhambra and turning his face toward Mecca prayed for the ex- termination of the infidel; his warriors wont out from the fortress to ravaGe the surrounding country and. return ing laden with spoil held high carni- val on the banks of the Darro. The fairest of the women of his race were gathered into the harem anl flowers and fountains gave perfume and freshness to his habitation.
 Washington Irving has contributed so much to literature on the Alhambra and its leagenas that 1t is not necessary to undertake a description of this fac. cipating palace of the Moorish kings. It crowns a hill much as the Parths- non crowns the Acropolis or as the summer residence of Mexico's presi- dent crowns Chapultepec. Irving found the palace neglected and occu- pied by wandering families whose members felt no interest in its preser- vatfon. He helped to arouse an inter- est in the place which had led the gov ernment not only to protect 1t from further vandalism. but to restore many of its parts. Its rooms. halls audience chambers. courts and baths are all finished in most elaborate style. AS in other Mohammedan buildings the ornamentation is in geomstrica) figures and flowers. as the followers of this religion carry their aversion to idolatry 70 far that they do not use human figures or even figures of anil mals in decoration. The material em- ployed in tho Alhambra Is stucco and 1t Is surprising what delicacy and grace characterize tho works. Ono finds here a reminder of the screens which play so important a part in the tombs built by the Mohammedan con- Querors in India, except that in India marble Is used.

to accommodate the increasing num- Der of converts. In appearance the structure Is low>and nat and gives lit- tie idea of its immensity. 1t IS sur tressed and is entered by huge gates. One Of these gates bears striking tes- timony to a remarkable agreement entered into by the Christians and Mo- hammedans whereby the two antago- nistic religions divided the church be- tween them. These gates are covered with plates of bronze on which Cath ollie and Arabic symbols alternate. This joint occupation did not last very long. but Abderrahman when he de- sired to secure more room for the fol- lowers of the Prophet. was consider ate enough to purchase the other half from the Christians.

Workmen were secured in Constantinople by one of the Caliphs and 1t is possible to find almost every variety of architec- ture in the columns themselves or in their capitals and bases.
 When Oordova was recaptured by the Christians in the thirteenth century a part of this building was converted
 
 curious combination of chapel, altar. shrine and mosque. The most attract i've decorations in the mosque are the mosaics. and the superb wood carving in the principal choir are of rare merit. One series of these pictures in wood H. illustrates Old Testament history. while another portrays the principal events in the life of Christ.
 The road from Cordova-Cordova once the center of art. Arabic learning and religion. but now a orosaic town of less than 60.000--to Granada. the last stronghold of the Moors north of the Mediterranean, leads through a succession of olive groves Nowhere, not even in Palestine. or about the Mount that bears the olives name, have we seen such an abundance of these trees. From the importance of this industry one would suppose that southern Europe could supply olive oil enough without importing cotton seed from the United States. and yet we have been assured by shippers that a great deal of the olive oil which we buy from Europe Is really cotton seed oil which has twice crossed the At lantic.

At Vienna hotel last June they were asking S3 for a clus- ter-probably raised in a hot house. that in August could be bought in Spain for 10 or 16 cents. The large white grapes exported to the United States and sold as a luxury during the winter months are here within the reach of all.
 All along the railroad one sees primitive agricultural methods The old fashioned threshing floor is in common use. but instead of the fiail they employ a machine resembling a light disc harrow which Is hitched to pair of mules and drawn rapidly round and round. When the wheat Is separated from the straw men go over the threshing fioor and winnow out the wheat. the wind blowing away the chafY We were informed that they had had a prosperous year in the grain districts. but the stubble did not indi- cate as heavy a crop as we raise in the United States.
 Madrid surprised us It contains more than half million of inhabi- tants. Is about 2.000 feet above tho sea and Is really very attractive city. It Is not an ancient city. being less than a thousand years old. but 1t has sub stantial blocks, a beautiful boulevard and a picture gallery one and a half centuries old. In the different galler- les at Madrid are some of tho best canvases of Yelazques and Murillo.
 As in all other Spanish countries. one finds here reminders of the na- tional sport. the bull fight. Each city has its ampnitheater or circular bull pit, and 1t is often the most conspicu- ous building in the place; the fans and in Spain the fan ia omnipresent and often of great value-are orna- mented with scenes from the bull fight and the bill boards blaze with an nouncements of the next Sundays combat. The bull fight is probably lineal descendant of the gladiatoriai contests of Rome. a surviving relic of

Spanish government for all internal revenue, for which service 1t received a commission of five per cent on all bills presented, whether collection was accomplished or not. Spanish gold was the basis of all transactions except in retail business and the payment of wages. in which Spanish silver was used The familiar use or checks and pass books was unknown, and checks for amounts of less than $50 could not be drawn.
 The Trust Company of America, a New York banking institution of large experience, was appointed fiscal agent of the United States government. and immediately set about . reform. Gold was made the standard value, and several millions in Spanish coin were or to be exchanged TOT American money. The banking system was 50 thoroughly and successfully revised and brought up to date that nearly S5.000.000 of American capital has since found investment m the island in banking enterprises. and the amount is steadily increasing Within the past few months. New York interests have organized the Banco de Ia Havana with a capitalization of 35.0oo, ,000 One-fourth of the amount has already been paid in by American investors and the remaining rnree-fourths arc Cuban, French and English, but the control Is entirely from New York.
 The next most important of the primary causes of Cuba's prosperity were the work of repaving Havana's streets. the work Of sanitation to which Colonel George E. Waring sac- rificed his life, and the eradicat tion of yellow fever from the city of Havana, where. for a century and a half. by actual record. the disease had never failed to appear annua,Iy. When that was accomplished, Havana, already the Paris of America, the gayest and most quaintly beautifui of Spanish American cities. took on fresh dash of color It is said that not fewer than 25,000 Americans registered in Havana last winter, besides thousands of foreigners from other parts of the world. who find in the sunny climate and equable temperature of the island no mean rivals to the bIue Itlanian skies It now seems likely that the season of 1906-7, with its dash of military spIendor and excitement, due to the presence of American troops and ships of war. will be an especially brilliant one.

While the harbor at Gibraltar Is not an especially good one, 1t is one of the most frequented In the world. and tho dry docks will accommodate tho largest of ships. Just beyond the rock of Gibraltar there Is a strip Of neutral ground. one side sen- tinelled by the British the other by the Spanish. Several thousand Span iards enter the city every morning. for all the manual labor is done by them. and return to their homes at night, Just across the bay or harhor is the Spanish city of Algeciras. and from cross the strait to Tangier. the Mo- rocco capital.

These rocks arc not the last land. however, although the most striking features. There is a point a few miles further west known as Tarifa which, according to tradi- tion. was once occupied by bold rob- bers who exacted tribute from all who passed by. It Is even said that our word tariff traces its orogin to this Tarifa; if 1t be true that the two words are related 1t Is fitting that Tarifa should be the last thing seen by the traveller on his departure, for the tariff Is the first thing which he encounters upon his arrival in Amer lea.

especially interesting because in this room. If the word of the guide can be relied upon, Ferdinand and Isabella re- ceived Columbus just before he en- parked upon his voyage of discovery.
 A part or the Alhambra was torn down by order of Charles the Fifth. who early in the sixteenth century conceived the idea of building himself a palace of modern designs. Tho struc- ture was never finished. however, and stands today a ruin. more substantial but less beautiful than the palace which it was intended to outshine. The Moors built @ great cistern. within the outer walls of Alhambra and brought water from the mountains to supply it. It Is 50 far below the sur face that the water is always cool and the water is SO perfectly filtered that even now it Is greatly sought Tor drinking. This farsighted provision not only for present wants but for pos sible siege seems to have been charac- teristic of tho Moors. for the city of Constantinople was likewise protected by immense underground reservoirs.
 Granada has a considerable gypsy population. From the Alhambra ono can see their dwellings on an opposite hillside The rooms arc hewn out of the stone with only the door visible All in all, Granada offers as much Of variety as one can find anywhere In Europe and more glimpses of the oriental life of the past than can be seen anywhere else west of the Bos- phorus.
 Tho rock of Gibraltar has no adver. tising matter on 1t. In this respect only does 1t differ from the photo graphs with which every reader 10 familiar. It is, however. larger than the pictures indicate. It is an im- mense limestone formation rising ao- ruptly from the water to a height or 1,l00 feet. It is about three miles long and, at the widest point. three quarters of a mile across. It Is evil dent that 1t was once an island. for the low. flat strip of ground which con- nects 1t with the main land seems to have been formed by the washing In of the sand. The triangular face Of tho rock which is usually photograph. ed looks toward the land instead Of toward the sea. tho water front be- Ing much less imposing. A town or 26,O00 inhabitants. has grown up around the base of the rock. fully 70 per cent of tho population being made up of the English garrison. It Is strictly a military town and the gov ernment does not encourage the set clement of civilians there. The rock Is full of concealed cannon and Is sup
