CENSUS BUREAU
ISSUES BULLETIN

Hence forth the census bureau
will publish for the benefit of the
press, a weekly statement giving
the population ,of cities as shown
by the recent census, combining it to
places which in190O contained more
than Is, 900 people. =.
The first Ct these trllttirc: YES
issued today and excluding Phila-
delphia and Rochester, shows re-
suits in rs cities of more than
100000. Commenting Upon the
figures presented, the bulletin says:
"All but seven Of these cities
made a great absolute increase of
population in the decade 1900 to
1910 than in the preceding decade.
The seven cities comprise Buffalo,
Grand Rapids. New Haven, Pater-
som Pittsbnrg,ss ST.: Louis and
Toledo. &
Elm the case of312 cities the per-
centage of increase as we'll as the
absolute increase was greater be-
tween 1900 and 1910 than between
1890 and 1900.
In the aggregate the announced
population of these rs cities is H.
042. 100. In 1900 they had an
aggregate population of 8,273,4S2;
in 1890. 6,2l3,583. The percent
age for these cities, taken in the
aggregate, shows very little change
in the rate of growth, the percent
age from 1890 to 1900 being 49,
and from 1900 to 1910 being 33.5.
For the "a cities, exclusive of
New York. the corresponding per-
centages of increase are 3O.5 and
1913.
The total number of cities that
had population of over 100000
at the census of 1900 was SO. The
number will be considerably larger
at the present census.
Of the cities whose population ha:
already been ammo unced, Atlanta,

THE. FIRST. WlNDE|LLs..

Windmills are said to have been
introduced INTO England by the
Knlghts of ST., John, who observed
them in ilse among the Saracens in
the Crusades, but how long they
have been in existence before this
it is not possible to ascertain: :. "A
water mill was'built in Bohemia in
the year 718, for an old chronicler
mentions, it going on to say that
'oefore that time al. the mills in
Bohemia were windmills set upon
the summit of hills" -. ,
For hundreds of years wind
mills were among the most import
ant adjuncts of industry. yet they
hardly changed from the rude: and
primitive design of earliest days.
They. were fixed in one position and
so could only be worked when the
wind blew, from certain quarter,
while 1.-The. four. sails boosted on
Stats Or checking apparatus of any
kind. Which must have been most
announcement at times. 49,,
The first idea of arranging a
mill so that it could be worked
whene'er the wind did blow" was
that Of lettering an ordinary mill
in the middle, of pond by means
of ropes. When the wind shifted
the ropes were loosed and the mill
dragged around Until the sails
we're caught by the wind, and it
was thel again te thered rs before,
Later on great pole, which
was worked on the principle of
rntable, was affixed to the mill
Not until $500 did Holland, the
land of widmills, introduce a
movable dome carrying the sail
axle. The dome ran on rollers and
was shifted around by means. of the
pole mentioned ABOVE. These
ancient mills were often of mas
sive build, being made of brick or
stone, and later entirely of W .od.

GETTING INTERESTED

And wants to know

"Oh. DEAR"
He says, THAT boy is smart;
You're giving him dandy start,
But he will have to go, you bet
To keep the pace his dad has set;
He'll turn out we'll,
For stock will tell.
You get the taffy strong and straight
From one who is a candidate.
Then he proceeds to talk away
About the evil of the day
Saws il is time
That graft and crime
We're made the public wrath to feel
And that we need another deal,

And then he slips you a cigar
And talks you blind and deaf and

Yes, this year he is going some.
