American Metropolis Has Crowded
Out London as the Largest City
in the World.


New York has surpassed London in
population, according to the New
York city census committee. If the
same radius of territory IS included
within the New York city limits as is
calculated in the London figures. In a
statement issued by Dr. Walter Laid
law, executive secretary, figures show
that within a radius Of nineteen miles
of the City hall there was on January
l, 1920, population of 1868 more
persons than in the metropolitan po-
lice district of .'Greater London, .
says the New York Herald
Greater London, it is explained, in
cludes not only London county, but
an outer ring" in which the metro
politan police have specified powers
and duties.
The Greater London suburban area
irregular in outline, extends as far in
some directions as nineteen miles
from Charing Cross says DR.. Laid
law. at seems proper, therefore. TO
include in comparing Greater London
and New York suburban territory
within nineteen miles of the CAry
hall"
This radius reaches Tottenville, Sta
ten island; part of Westchester and
Nassau counties, and the part Of New
Jersey that includes Newark, Jersey
City and other large population cen
ters Immediately adjacent to New
York.
The population of Greater London
on June 10, 1921, was 7,476.169 while
that of Largest New York." includ-
ing the outlying districts, on January
1, 1920. was 7,820,676. London in
creased in the thirty years between
1891 and 1920, 1,844.362 persons, while
Largest New York increased, between
1900 and 1910, 1,379,546 persons.

The strangest people in the world
according 10 Mrs. Harry Kaigh Eus-
tsce, who Is here on her way to Eng

bush tribe in the Gordonia desert, CEN
trail southwest Africa.
These women, she says, have devel-
oped glands In the back in which they
store water, like camels When they
drink a great deal Of water. the glands
make them appear deformed. After a
few days in the desert, with little or
no water, their. reserve supply is alb
sorbed and they look normal. They
can 20 without water longer than a
camel.

SIAM HAS LEPER VILLAGE"
Plaques Patients Fill Offices
in the Town Government and
Assist in Work.

A progressive Siamese leper will
lage' is described by the. Bangok cor
respondent of the London Daily Mail
Wonderful progress has been made
during recent times with regard to
the treatment of lepers in this neigh
borho0d, many scores having been
housed at the Chiengmai leper asylum
which was established with the joint
aid of the Siamese government and
the mission to lepers some thirteen
years ago
This asylum is run on the lines of
a siamese village, with a village head
man chosen by the lepers themselves.
The leper has been made to think that
he is still a useful citizen of the state,
and not social outcast as hereto
fore. They work under their head
man, look after the roads, and attend
to the clearing of the jungles.
There are two schools within the
settlement for children of the lepers
and the attendance is good, despite
the fact that most of the pupils suf-
fer from the terrible disease. The
plague-stricken boys and girls, with
their nerveless, deformed fingers, work
as hard as their more fortunate lep-
rosy-free sehoolmates in the other
school of the asylum.
The asylum has its own currency,
so that the coins can be avoided by
the outside world.
