don't come from Turkey, and were I'M
known before the discovery Of Amer
lea, in the north Of which continent
the wild turkey still roams in unre-
strained freedom, though not, alas, in
undiminished numbers.
When the enterprising Spaniards
began to explore the resources of the
new world that Columbus had opened
out for them, they found that the ma
tives had tanned a big bird, which they
regarded as sort of peacock; and it
was not long after the discovery of
America that the new bird made his
appearance IN European poultry yards

reigned supreme both as an artist in
posing and as table delicacy-the
Romans used to talk of having ham

Center of Population.

The center of population under the
new census will not. it is thought. be
moved far from the present center.
This is not because the population Of
the United States has not greatly in
creased but because the bulk of the
increase is not, as usual, in the west.
There has been a great addition to the
number of inhabitants of the south
west, especially in Texas; but, on the
other hand. a large percentage of the
immigrants who arrived during the last
few years scattered themselves over
the eastern states. Rhode Islands in
crease, for example, is 16 per cent In
