Census Figures Reveal Some Interesting
Figures Regarding the Population Of the
u. S. Regarding Race Percentages

The racial composition of the po-
pulation Of the United States in 1920
as amour -ed recently by the Census
Bureau shows the country 20 contain

Ol3 negroes, 242,955 indians, ILL.,
025 Japanese, 6l,6s6 Chinese and
9,4s5 others. The japanese race
exceeded by far the rate Of growth
in he last ten year. Of al other
classes.
Unofficial estimates Of the increase
in the number Of japanese IN the
United States, particularly on the
Pac fc Coast, was borne out in the
official tabulation which revealed n
rate Of expansion Of 53.9 per cent

growth Of 3s,s6s japanese in that
period On January I, 1920, there
were 1852 japanese in California.

Washington where 1883 now make
their homes; Oregon, 4,54l, and

the white population was consider
ably less than the rate for the prev
ious decade which was 22.2 per cent.

The decline, the statement said, was
due principally to the marked re-
duction in immigration during the
world war. An estimate based on
the excess Of births over deaths and
the excess Of immigration over emf
grafton showed a difference by only
n small fraction of one per cent from
the total white enumerated.
The greatest numerical increase
in the white population was shown
in the East North Central Division
embracing the States Of Ohio, Ind
lana, Illionis, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin, where the increase was SOIL
1868. The Middle Atlantic States
Division had a growth for the decade
Of 2,761,5 sos. In the South Atlantic
and East and West South Central
portions the whites showed a COM

END OF LIFE ON EARTH.

Atmospheric changes of compost
ton, not to mention cooling of the
sun, are suggested by W. Flinders
Petrie, F. r. s., as likely to make
all life impossible after the next few
hundred thousand years. Assuming
the earth to have been once red-hot,
all lime and soda must have been
combined with The silica now exist
ing as sandstone, and all carbonic
and hvdrochloric acids at present
locked up in limestone and salt
must have been gases in the at
mosphere. Cooling has brought the
gradual decomposition of the sill
Gates by the acids. Only minute
part of the carbonic acid once pres
ent in the atmosphere is now left
and this will be exhausted by the
decomposition of few inches more
of silicates. Then plant life, and
after it animal life, must cease.

WONDERFUL WORK OF NATURE
Even Human Hand Can Not Compare
With the Marveis of the Eie-
plants Trunk.

Carl Akeley of the American Mu-
scum of Natural History describes
an elephants trunk as follows in
the Worlds Work:
In many other ways besides it
smelling ability, the elephants trunk
is the most extraordinary part Of
this most extraordinary animal A
mans arm has a more or less uni
versal joint at the shoulder. The
elephants trunk is absolutely fex-
IDLE at every point. 1t can turn in
any direction, and in whatever
position it is it has tremendous
strength. There is no bone in it,
of course, but it is constructed Of
interviewer muscle and sinew so
tough that one can hardly cut it with
a knife. An elephant can shoot
stream of water out of it that would
put out a fire; lift a tree trunk
weighing a ton and throw it easily;
or it is delicate enough to pull
blade of grass with. He drinks with
it, feeds himself with it. smells with
it, works with it, and at times fights
with it. incidentally, a mouse that
endeavored to frighten an elephant
by the traditional nursery rhyme
method of running up his trunk
would be blown into the next coun-
ty. There is nothing else like an
elephants trunk on earth.
