has been SLOW and remarkably uniform

in latitude has rcn less Than one
third Of Il degree.
The westward movement has aver
aged less than Il degree in Il decade,
notwithstanding the incredibly swift
occupation Of a vacant continent by Il
movement of population westward. The
eaStcrly position Of the center Of pop
ulatiOn Is in part due to the fact that
the eastern part of the continent was
first settled uud WAS settled from the
east. I'll" raSt"rly position of the cen
ter of population is also due to the
more evenly distributed and more
abundant resources of the eastern half
of the United States.
1t should not be forgotten that the
geographical enter of the United
States lies some hundreds Of miles
west of the Mississippi river. The cast

John Martin, in the current number OF
the Survey. reviews the minority report
of the British Royal Commission on the
condition of the poor. They find that the
whole problem of able-bodied restitution
should be treated Systematically by the
national government and that experiment
tai relief work. colonies. and aided emil
grafton have shown chiefly how not to
do it. Tho provision of work at wages
by local authorities only tends to inten-
sify the evil, AZ it encourages employers
II employees to acQuicsce in intern:it-
tent employment. Ir:cgularity of en-
ployment was found to be the most GER
ain and extensive cause of pauperism,
even in those ~callings where high wages
and short hours are the conditions, such
as wharf laborers. The proposed method
of dealing with these conditions of under
employment and discontinuous employ
ment is a national system of labor bu-
reaus. 1t is believed these will dovetail
one job with another and one trade with
another so as to give continuous employ
ment to the most efficient. To provide for
the surplus it is proposed TO limit the
employment of boys in occupations which
afford them no industrial training. Both
boys and girls should be compelled to take
thirty hours a week of special training.
Shortening the hours of labor is another
remedy proposed. Growing the whole
system there must be a detention colony
where inmates are treated for a morbid
state of mind and body

Prof. +. A. Ferret. former assistant at
the Royal Conservatory on Mount yesu-
v;,s. publishes in the American Journal
of Science his preliminary report of the
Messina earthquake. He says that the
shock WIS comparatively slight and that
the damage and loss of life was due
largely to the rubble construction of the
buildings. The shock was preceded for
several weeks with more or less severe
ouivers and both EtEa and Stromboh
were active on December %. but neither
showed sympathetic action at the time
of the ca earthquake or after. The cause
is defined as deep-seated magma of the
ante-vo!canic type.
