ALIENS SWELL POPULATION
Annual Report Shows '39 Per
Cent. Decrease.
Successful Enforcement Of Labor
LawsBnlk Of Immigrants Come
From Southern Europe.

Washington, d. CAS- shown by
the annual report of the Commits
sioner-General of Immigration for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1908, the
work Of the bureau was in many re-
spects the most comprehensive and
interesting ever performed by it.
Despite a decrease of thirty-nine per
cent. in immigration, the report
shows that the work Of the bureau
increased nearly twenty per cent.
during the fiscal year
The report is made by F. H..
Larned, Deputy Commissioner, owing
to the death of Cen
eral Frank P. Sargent 1t says the
year was remarkable for a reduction
OF the number of aliens entering the
United States. The total immigra-
ton for the year was 1880, on
5O2,479 less than for the year 1907.
BY reason of an amendment to the
law, the report for the first time fur
nishes figures which show approx
mately the net increase in population
by immigration The figures indicate
that the net increase was 209,867.
Of the aliens admitted, 630,671 were
between the ages of fourteen and
forty-four years.. OF those admitted,
1929 could neither read nor write,
and 1910 could read but not write.
Therefore, about twenty-six per cent.
were illiterate, decrease of four per
cent. in comparison with 1907 The
total amount of money brought into
the country by arriving immigrants
was $17,794,226. an average of al
most $23 a person. During the year
there were turned back at the ports
10,902 aliens-about one and three
tenths per cent. of the total number
applying for admission-against 49,
064 for 1907.
1t is pointed out that the past year
was abnormal concerning emigration
as well as concerning immigration,
the same reason which reduced the
latter having operated with perhaps
greater force to increase the former.
The bulk of the aliens came from
southern or eastern Europe-Italy
Austria Hungary Greece, Turkey and
the small principalities surrounding
them. Russia furnished sixty-four
per cent. of the total. The report
says that the change in the law, ex-
tending the fining provisions to cover
the bringing of mentally as well as
physically diseased aliens to the Uni
ted States, and placing tuberculosis
under the same ban, is of great ben
eft.
Two alien Anarchists were refused
admission. There was great activity
in the suppression of the importation
of alien women for immoral purposes.
The report shows that the enforce
ment of the law relating to alien con-
tract labor was unprecedently sue
cessful. In the year 1892 contract
laborers were rejected and $40 were
arrested and expelled from the coun.

junk Dealing a Great Industry.

But few of the thousands of peo-
pie who see an "old iron" man polk
ing through heap of rubbish realize
that the junk business in this country
has grown to stupendous proportions.
In Philadelphia last year over $780,
100000 changed hands in dealing in
old metal, ranging from the trivial
sums paid to the men who search the
alleys for small discarded articles to
the many thousands of dollars paid
for machinery from dismantled fac
tories.

disposes of from 10000 to 10000
tons of waste material month to

most an equal amount, and hundreds
of other industrial concerns add their
quota. Popular Mechanics.

The Armenian Alphabet.

An Armenian girl goes to school at
four or five years old, but before that
she has probably learned her "let-
ters,' which is almost an education
in itself, as the Armenian alphabet
contains thirty-nine. She learns these
letters from small slab of wood on
which they are printed. This slab is
fastened to handle, making it some
thing like hair brush in shape.
The Armenians boast that their for
midable alphabet is so perfect as to
give every sound known to any other
nation.-Girls' Own Paper.
