The first announcement of the United

of Washington. The increase of popula.
tion between 1000 and 1910 was 18.8 per
cent. At this ratio of increase through.
out the country the United States popu-
lation itceordiog to the 1910 oensus
would be 90,048,423. It is hardly likely,
however, that the inereftee in .population

the Waahingthn ratio, although the offi-

The Socialists of XOW York have is-

idea is to make it appear that tate hated

failed, and despaired before that first
inevitable fall, The struggling soul was
maddened with its own bitter self -scorn,
self-reproach, and remorse, its haughty
pride and hopes wounded to the core.

hard depression of despair, the fierce
hardening of hopelessness, whieh

passion, impulse uppermost. All that
was evil, his wildest, darkest temper,

love, that if she yielded nOW,her power
was gone, and he -lost. She must strike

keep you more at home, by ma,king home

rival, instead of bringing it to the very

to them books, magazines, papers and

Aerial London.
With the aid of a balloon a British
scientist has for several years industri.
ously explored. the atmospaere over
London, and the results of his Investiga-
tions afford a strange picture of the
skyward extension, of the world's great-
est city.
Somewhat fancifully and yet with a
certain degree of truth, London might
be said to be six thousand. feet high, or
deep, for up to about that level the air
over the yast town is unmistakably Lon-
don air.
Between three thousand and five thou-
sand feet above the housetops is a. re-
gion where dust resembling chaff, fila-
ments and woollen fibre, such as would
arise from thoroughfares and from the
sweeping of housg, seems especially to
accumulate. At least there is more there
than nearer the ground. ln calm wea-
ther aerial London becomes to a certain
extent stratified. From above six thou-
sand feet one can often look down upon
the surface of the haze, as if it hail it
definite limit.
