The recent quinquennial census shows the population of Germany to be 65,000,000, indicating an increase of 100000 in five years ando 20,OOO,- 900 in thirty years. Dr. Wilhe elm Hubbe-Schleiden predicts that by 1880 there will be 15O0OO,OOO Germans The present population of the British Isles is 45,0O0,000, which represents an increase of less than 11,OO0,O0O in thirty years. In Germany the de- mand for labor has practically check ed emigration, while the reverse is the case in Great Britain. Germany's in crease of population will soon be at the rate of a million a year, and it is the purpose of the government to keep every patriotic man and woman at home to toll for the Fatherland's advance. In England the newspa- pers are filled with advertisements encouraging migration to Canada, Australia, and other colonies. Ten years ago German emigration was about 121,000 souls annually; last year it was scarcely 25,0OO persons and nearly all to America
 Germany's national wealth is now estimated at sSS,OOO. 900, while 15 years ago it was s55,0OO, 100000. Re cent Prussian statistics indicate that the aggregate taxable incomes of less than $750 a year have risen from S775, 5,000,000 in 1895 to S1,90O, ,0OO,O 900 in 1910-an increase of 15O per cent In 11teen years SaVlnSS bank de- posits have expanded in fifteen years from s1,125,0 100000 to upward of S3,00O, 100000, and it is held that the average wage has risen in ten years from s186.50 to S256.25. This i'm proTement is 3S per cent, while cost of living has advanced about 25 per cent.

TESTING OF AIRSHuPS
With Actual Guns and Ammunition,
 by Both Army and Navy

Washington, June 30-For the first time in history, exhaustive tests as to the efficacy and adaptability of diri- gibles and aeroplanes in war will be held at Hampton Roads about the first Of August in conjunction with the naval maneuvers which will take place then.
 Not satisfied with the usual method of mimic war, actual ammunition will be used on the aircraft and the naval authorities will have some method of judging as to the accuracy with which the guns now in use in the navy can be relied upon to annihilate an enemy approaching in airships For this pur- pose immense kites are made in shapes similar to aeroplaneS.
 The dirigibles will be manned by dummies, representing the crew. The guns Of the iand and naval fortifica- tions will then be trained on these attacking parties and the officials will have some ground for judging just how much they would have to depend upon, were an enemy actual ly to attack Us through the air.
 England. Germany and France have made a number of experiments re- garding the efficacy of the smaller guns in repelling attacks on an air enemy, but this will be the first time in the worlds history that the three
 
 for this purpose. Another unique fea- ture of the tests will be the fact that each vessel taking part in the experi- ments will be allowed to use it's guns acco. ding to the ideas of it's own cap tain. fer the Ordnance Department has announced it's intention of keep ing it's hands off during these tests and allowing the individual theories of each ships commander ito prevail. It is thought that in this manner a large amount of new material and new methods will be discovered which would otherwise remain unknown. The ship which makes the best record during the tests will be presented with suitable trophy.
 At tine same time the navy makes these tests, the army will be conduct ing similar ones at Sandy Hook. The new fcur and six-inch rifles will be tested there and particular interest is attached to the new percussion cap recently invented by United States army officer, which is supposed to ex- plode when it strikes the gas bag of a balloon, producing a large rent in the covering. If this cap does it's work as we'll as is expected, one shot will be sufficient to put dirigible out of business

RUSSIAN ExILEs RETURN
After $50 Years Absence-As They
 Were Then, They Now Are

Odessa, June 30.-Three hundred and fifty years ago a party of some hundreds of the Czar's subjects left Russian as voluntary eXiles rather religious beliefs. Fifty odd families of these exiles have just returned to their native land bringing with them the language, garb and customs Of three centuries and a half ago. The Pilgrim Fathers in the streets of queerer than these returned exiles in the Russia of today
 The members of the original exiles party were Cossacks among whose beliefs was one to the effect that the writing of their names would jeopar dize their chances of salvation by en- abling aEti-Christ to set his seal up- on them. An attempt to enroll them in writing for military purposes was what drove them from Russia. Set ting in Aratolia they increased in number until at present there are about 5000 of them. During the while of the $50 years of their exile they retained their identity wholly intact. Their language is a Russian dialect bearing the same relation to present-day Russian that the langu- age of Chaucer does to modern Eng fish. They continued to wear the Russian dress of $50 years ago and have even cultivated vegetables need ed to make the food of medival Rus sia.
 A few months ago the Turkish gov ernment undertook to enroll it's Christian subjects for military ser vice. This brought the exile colony face to face with the same situation which forced it from Russia. The older mem bers of the colony favored submission but the young men argued that, since they could not avoid en- TO for- f tI,a to return to Russia and serve among their own kindred. The attention of the Russian consul at Consta antinopie, was called to the matter and through his efforts @ grant was made by the, government at St. Petersburg tol bring back such of the exiles as chose. to come to their own land. Abouts 25O of them accepted. The others will remain. a tiny Russian island among the races of Asia Minor.

turned the corner at the post office
and started down a dark street,
Boyle lomed up out of the darkness
and dealt a blow at Kelly with a
pair Of brass knucks. Kelly says he
lodged in time to break the force Of
the blow, and then pulled his pistol
and fired twice upon Boyle.
