No plan was discovered continued

London to-day contains 60 Per cent more
people than the whole o. Canada. and
per cent more than Australia from Brit
ish Guiana 70 Tasmsnia. The in
habitants of Norway and Switzerland
combined come 70 little more than three
quarters OF Loudon's great family
The number o. forelen-bo-n neonls
living in London has more than doubled

children Of foreigners Oorn IN FngIand.
ne birth rate OF London has steadily
oiinlnisHed. being s855 in 1857 and only
so IN 1905 The effect Ct this. however.
mas been counteracted by a decline IN ths
DEAN rate The most Ominous features
are the disDropcrtiOlate deaths OF Young
children IN various districts. the growth
of lunacy- the Increase Of pauperisn the
iafse proportion OF unpunished crimes
and the heavy rise in debt and rates.
London, added Mr. Perry. is con
spicuCuslv behind most Of the leading
foreign capitals in freedom from ia
leading epidemic diseases. Our death
rate from these is twice as hfzh as that
or the most OF the great European capi-
tails. The TSOst heRlthy suburbs OF Lon
