thousands OF the yellow insects flying
about the church and darting their sting
ers into the brethren and sisters. The
preacher was one of the first to be stung
and the pain put q stop TO his exhorta-
ton. The women screamed when struck

.BERLIN'S GROWTH
NO LONGER RAPID
Population of 100000 in
1850 Only a Dream.
BIRTH RATE NOW DECREASING
Influx of People TO German Capital
Practically stopped - Real Estate
Spectators said TO Be Response
BILE for Rosy Prediction Regarding
Future-Figures at n StandstiII.

Berlin. June 13.-If the city Of Berlin con
tinUes 10 increase al its present rate, il
Will have population OF l5.009.0o0 in 1850
This rapid growth is not caused By an in
I creased birth rate. but by the influx Of
people from smaller cities and the rural
districts. The city has most central
| location, at the junction Of all the i'm
portant high roads OF commerce and
trade IN the German empire.
"A glimpse at a railroad map shows Ber-
lin in the middle or a spider web. with
threads representing easy transportation
into the most remote corners of the coun-
try. The fiat lands particularly the re-
giOns toward the east. have been depOp-
ulated. and the growth of the smaller
German cities has been checked since the
rush 10 the capital began. The fOrty-One
German cities counting a population Of
100000 or more contain 100000 people.
which is more than One-hfth Of the entire
German population
Figures at a Standsti1-
At present. however. Berlin's figures
are at standstill. This is caused by the
following reasons: Germany's birth rate
shows a marked decrease for the last
thirty years. Il has dropped from q TO 81
for every 1,OOs inhabitants, and in Berlin
the rates are even lower numbering only
IS per l.o06 among the poorer classes and
p per iC00 for the residential district
These figures prove that if the city were
dependent on the native increase IL would
increase slower than the population ~ the
other districts OF the empire.
The present depression IN business Is
keeping many away from the city, but,
even when the reaction sets IN, the in
Aux cannot be as great as il has been,
as the country has already yielded its
surplus population 10 the big Industrial
CenteTs- The sensational rise in the value
OF real estate IN Berlin and vicinity is
making the erection of more factories
impossible. so that the city viii lose
its importance as a manufacturing cen
ter, and consequently viii no longer be
an attraction for the army Of factory
workers who would swell its census.
Berlin will doubtless increase, like Lon
don. in its business and commerce. il
will become the Undisputed center Of the
German market, necessitating a repre-
sentative for every undertaking in the
empire within its city walls But, IL il
should ever number 15,000.OO0 citizens, IL
would extend over an area reaching TO
the cities Of POtsdam. Oranienburg, and
ZOssen. This is a rosy dream of the real
estate spectators which no one else
