DREXEL BREAKS RECORD

I'M FLIGHT OVER PHIL

Declares Farther Ascent impossible
Lands Safely. Though Becomes
Nauseated in Long

Philadelphia, Penn.-J. Armstrong
Drexel broke. all aeroplane altitude
records here when he climbed above
this city until his Bleriot monoplane
was unable to make further progress
in the sa1ified atmosphere. The ink
in the needle of his Paragraph ran
out at $3.50 feet which was accepted
as a new worlds record by Clifford
B. Harmon, chairman of the Nation
al associated aero clubs Of America.
The instrument is the same one
which JohAstone carried when he
made a former. record of 9,714 feet
at Belmont Park on October 81 1t
was brought to this city under the
seal by James King Duffy, the secre-
tary, in order that the record made
would be official.
In his climb he travelled at least 80
miles to the northward for when he
started to descend after trying for Is
minutes to force the machine higher,
he glided down for a distance which
he estimated at about six miles. So
swiftly did the monoplane descend
that the aviator was nauseated How
ever, he reached an open field and
brought his machine to the ground
without injury.
Went the Limit.
Mr.. Drexel was greatly disappointed
when he found that the Paragraph had
failed to record an even 10000 feet.
The air was so light it was i'm
possible to make the machine ascend

would not carry it any further and l
was up at the extreme altitude for

very cold, he did not suffer as he
had when he made his previous rec.

When DreXel began his fight there
was light breeze scarcely more than

CITY EXCEEDS THE STATE
DRIFT TO URBAN cENTERs

State is 4.a46,3e6.

Washington, ID. c. New York
City for the first time has become
greater in point of population than
all the remainder of the state of New
York outside the greater city limits.
Whlle this is the most striking fea.
ture OF the New York state census fig
ures, almost as remarkable is the rate
OF growth OF the Empire state. Since
1870 it has doubled in population and
the rate of increase during the pas1
ten years, 25.4 per cent, is the great.
est since the decade between 1870 and
1850, when the percentage of increase
was 27.5. This increase is largely at.
tributable to the growth of the cities.
With this increase in population will
come larger representation in the
lower branch of congress, where New
York now has 81 members.
The exact number of new represent.
atives will be ten if the present ratio
of apportionment is retained by con
gress. Should the ratio be increased
this number would be cut down. but il
is conceded that the state will have
an increased population in congress.
or the 9,113,272 people in New Yorp
state, as shown by yesterdays Stats
tics, 4,7SG,SS3 are in New York City
and 4,346,396 in the state outside the
city, making the city 420,4S7 people
tn" greater in population.
Of the 1,S44.3S5 people by which the
state increased during the past ten
years, 1,329,6S1 We're contributed by
the city, willie only 514,704 persons
was the increase in the state outside
greater New York. Of the whole
states growth about 1874 per cent was
contributed by the city of New York
while the state without the city con-
tributed only about per cent, max
ing the total increase over 1900 fig
ures 25.4 per cent.
Rush to the Cities Shown.
The drift of population from the
agricultural districts to the cities in
the older states of the union was clear
ly indicated in the census returns OF
the state of New York and Ohio.
In New York Is of the 81 counties
showed a decrease in population, while
others made only meager increases.
Only the counties containing the
larger cities made any considerable
gains in population.
The movement was more marked in
Ohio than in New York for in the
Buckeye state. s. of the So counties
showed decreases, while in 81 other
counties the increase was less than
1000 inhabitants
