fessor Charles Richet's world popu-
lation survey, predicting that By

est city in the world, with New
York first, Toxic second and
Shanghai third, following the rapid
expansion of the yellow race and
the gradual reduction Of the birth
rate OF white races.
Chicago would be seventh.

rates that in the next ten years
the worlds population will have
Increased 1875, 600 900. The Asiat;cs
will have increased their races by
100000 900 souls; the American ma
tons by 35.0OOOOO and the Euro
pcan countries only 20,000000.
He draws three conclusions:
/. Yellow and mixed races in
crease in rate five or six times more
rapidly than the white races.
2. Among the white races, the
Europeans increase the least.
8 Among the European peoples
the most civilized nations show the
least population increase.

5 Among the great capitals of the
world. Shanghai shows the greatest
increase at present. .55 births an
nually per thousand population. In
dicative of the increase of popula-
ton in Japan, Professor RiChet re-
ports an annual increase of A per
thousand in Toxic and 33 in Osaka

The controversy over Virginia'5
boundary line along the river has been
bobbing up necessarily since Lord
Baltimore's time.
The first boundary commission to
pass on the question was appointed
in 1876. In its decision the commits
sion concluded that the charter line
was on the right bank of the Potomac,
where the high-water mark IS i'm
pressed upon it. and that line follows
the bank along the whole course Of
the river from its first fountain to
its mouth" But the commission found
that since Virginia always had claimed
ownership of all land extending to
the low-water mark on its shore. and
had indicated this claim in her con-
stitution Of l776, she had secured in
disputable" rights TO this land.
The Supreme Court has taken
contrary view in the past, however.

Gravel Co. vs. the washington Air
port it was held the boundary line
was the high-water mark on the Vir-
ginia shore. the opinion being based
