Popul,us China.

The population Of the Chinese en-
plre Is largely a matter OF estimate.
There has never been such census Of
the empire as that which Is
taken every decade in this country.
But the estimate of the Almanach de
Gotha for 1900 may be taken as fairly
reliable. According to that estimate,
the population of the empire is, in
round numbers, about 400,000.000. 1t
