CENSUS BUREAU OFFERS
REVISED CENSUS FIGURES
Comparisons Between Gen.
SuSGS are Given

Washington, D. c., May 31.-A bull
letin giving, for the United States,
the population of states and territories
lby counties or equivalent subdivisions,
as shown by the Thirteenth census
returns. taken as of April 10, 1911, has
been published by order of Acting
Census Director Falkner. It was pre-
pared under the supervision of VII
liam C. Hunt, chief statistician for
population.
The states and territories Of CONT
mental United States are in general
divided into counties, but in Louisiana
the equivalent subdivisions are called
parishes; and there are also a few cit
les which are independent of any
county organization, namely, Balti-
more in Maryland, St. Louis in Mis-
souri,. and most of the cities of Vir-
ginia. There are no counties II the
District of Columbia, the county or
ganization having been abolished IN
I1S74. Outside of continental United
States, Hawaii is the only territory
which has a county organization, but
in Alaska recorders districts and in
Porto Rico municipal districts are
the equivalents of counties.
The first table in the bulletin shows
the number of counties in each state
and territory of continental United
States which have either decreased or
increased in population since 1900 and
Classics those which have increased
according to the different rates of IN
crease.
Comparisons Between CenSuSes.
The second table gives population
in 1910 by counties for each state and
territory in continental United States,
and, so far as possible in comparison
with similar figures for 1900 and 1890,
respectively. In most cases the cor
responding percentages of increase or
decrease are also given, but in GER
ain counties this is not possible for the
earlier decade, 1890 to 1900, because
the population of Indian reservations
ETC., in 1890 was not distributed by
counties. For the state of oklahoma
formed from the territory of Okla
homa and Indian Territory since 1906
comparison is made with the figures
of the special census taken as of July
1, 1907, and also, where possible, with
those of the censuses of 1900 and 1890
The third table gives the population
of Alaska by recorders districts, but
without comparison for former cen
suses; that of Hawaii by counties, for
1910, 1900 and $780, and that of Por-
to Rico by municipal districts, in 1910

boundaries of counties in continental
United States which have occurred
during the 20 years from 1890 to 1910

The states and territories compris-
ing continental United States are di-
vided into 1856 counties or equivalent

The sun is nearer to the earth in
winter than it is in summer. 1t is
not distance that determines the
amount of heat that we get from
the sun. but the length of time the
sun is above the horizon and the
direction in which his rays strike
us. In summer, although much
farther from US, the sun is daily
above the horizon much longer
than when he is nearest, at the
winter solSticc, and this continued
action produces the summer heat.
In addition to this is to be reckon
ed the fact that IN summer the
force of tn" suns ray is more per-
pendrcular to the carth's surface,
while in the winter they are
Obllique. In the case of the per-
pendicular ray the heat stays,
while in that of the oblique ray it
"glances off" so to speak.
