London.-Whlle the brain might reel
1t the many figures unloaded at a
meeting of the Royal Statistical soci-
ETY. some interesting details as to the
worlds wealth can be extracted from
paper written by Prof. J. G. Stamp.
Comparing the prewar wealth and in
come of England, Germany @nd the
United States. Professor Stamp COM
putes the respective totals at:
Wealth. Income.

Germany ........ S,7se 09O,Oo0 l0,7booO0.0Oo
United States.... 10000 10000 &c., 100000
On a per capita basis also, America
comes out easily the richest country
in the world. The capital per head OF
the population. according to Professor
Stamp. was, before the war:
Capital Income.
England ........".,.,..... $3.50 $3.50
Germany -.......,"....... LEO l5o
United states ............. 2sl2o $50
All these figures Tast be consider
ably inflated tc obtain the current
years capital and income. but the in
crease would certainly be biggest In
the case OF the United States, which
could boast at least treble its prewar
wealth.
The thrifty habits Of the French ma
ton were reflected, said Professor
Stamp, in capital of s1,515 per head.
while italy and Australia had only 500
and S605. respectively. He computes
Japan's capital at $4,000 100000. or on
a per capita basis, $500 capital, and $40
income per head of population. The
capital and income of Spain was prob
ably as low as any in Europe, the in.
come per head not exceeding $55.

Could a Whale Live on Land

A naturalist has been asking If a
whale. could live on land, and he de-
clares that it would be quite impossi-
bic. If we watch an elephant walking,
and notice the ungainly swing Of its
flesh, we realize that for such an ami
NAL as whole to move about on land
would he beyond its powers. 1t would
be unable to stand, much less to move ;
but its enormous weight is counter
acted when the creature lives in All

in the air. In the water the strain put
on its structure by the weight of its

as we can on the land.
