NOW A NATIuN OF 102.826.309 United Staten Has Made Great Gaine in Population Despite European War. • ’i he wars are costing the United States in this decade 3,900.090 in Immigrants, yet we are gaining In numbers somewhat faster than In the last decade, or so the census bureau estimate of population for January 1. 1917, would Indicate. It is 102,826,399, ur„ including tiie islands, 113,309,285. 1 he end of the year completes twothirds of the decutie and shows u gain >f not quite 11,000,090, observes the New York World. A total of 108,000,"OO or more may be expected in 1920. If pence hud continued, a gain of nearly 20,000,000 would not have been impossible. To New York the census bureau,assigns tor six and two-tliirds years utore than twice the gain the state census allowed for the years; it is doubtless nearer the truth. By 1920 the empire state should reach 11,000,000. At the present rate Pennsylvania should increase 1,240,000 in ten years. California 900,000, Texas 804,000, and Illinois 832,000. California has already about as many people as declured their independence in 1776. The Emperor Claudius took a census as 6,045,000 Romans —men only. That may have meant in all 20,000,000 citizens. Gibbon thought slaves and provincials might have made an empire total of 120,000,000, but it was a generous guess. Tiie British, Chinese and Russian empires n<nv surpass the United States in total numbers; none equals it in the number of educated and energetic whites —unless we count as a single power the vast Germanic system which reaches from Antwerp to Bagdad under the rule of Berlin. COUNT TUNNELS BY MILES Underground Workings of Anthracite Coal Mines a Constant Source of Expense to Owners. Anthracite coal mines In this country have over 7,000 miles of tunnels. Os these, 2,000 are In the Schuylkill region, which ships about 28 per cent of tiie total anthracite production. In the Lehigh and Wyoming regions, which furnish the remaning 72 per cent of output, there must be over 5,000 miles of tunnels. These underground roads are a great expense. All the coal that can be recovered from them is constantly increasing, and this adds greatly to the cost of the mines. Water that runs into these underground passages must lie steadily pumped out to protect adjacent workings, and air must be forced in to prevent the formation of dangerous gases. To protect the surface andtunke possible the recovery of a little more coal, large sums of money are annually spent for pumping refuse back into the workings by hydraulic process. A further problem of large cost Is the timbering of the mines. Pennsylvania timber has long been stripped from the hills ami yellow pine from the South must be brought in. Mine timbers and lumber cost the operators 55.000,000 annually. Names of Flowers. It Is interesting to know how certain flowers got their names. Many were named after individuals. For instance, Fuchsias were so called because they were discovered by Leonard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for Andre Dahl, who brought them from Peru. The Camelia was so called for a missionary named Kamel, who brought some magnificent specimens of the flower Vo France from Japan. He called it the Rose of Japan, hut bis friends changed it to Camelia. Magnolias were named in honor of Prof. Magnol de Montpelier, who first brought the beautiful trees to France from America and Asia. Because they tremble with the wind is the meaning of Anemones. The Latin word to wash is lavare, and Lavender received its name because the Romans put the flowers Into the water when they washed, to perfume their hands. Pat’s Wish. When Patrick McGinnagan became a member of the police force a delegation of his friends burst in upon him while he was at dinner, and presented him with a handsome truncheon in honor of his popularity and their esteem. Completely bewildered by this unexpected token, the new policeman, nevertheless, struggled to his feet and stammered his appreciation. “Frinds, ye have upset me wid y’r kindness,” he said, flourishing the truncheon. “01’11 try an’ do my duty wid this little shlllaly, an’ I hope an’ trust that ivry mon here'll live t’ feel its inflooince.”—Rochester Evening Times. Looking for Virtues. When you have a mind to divert your fancy, consider the good qualities of your acquaintances; as the enterprising vigor of this man. the modesty of another, the liberality of a third, i and so on. For there is nothing so entertaining as a lively image of the virtues exhibited in the character of those we converse with, occurring as numerously as possible.
