NEW YORK IS LARGEST CITY

American Metropolis, in Population, Has Gone Far Ahead of the Capital of England. :

New York has surpassed London in population, according te the New York city census committes, if thé 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 Laidlaw, executive secretary, figures show that with-in-a radius of 19 miles of the city hall there was on January 1, 1920, a population of 344,508 more persons than in the metropolitan police district of “Greater London,” says the New York Herald. S : :

Greater London, it 19 explained, includes not only London county, but-an “outer ring” in which the metropolitan police have specified powers and duties. S

“The Greater London. suburban area, irregular in outline, extends as far in some directions as 19 miles from .Charing Cross,” says Doctor Laidlaw. “It seems proper, therefore, to include in comparing Greater London and New York suburban territory within 19 miles of the city hall.” This radius reaches Tottenville, Staten Island; part of Westchester and Nassau counties and the part of New Jersey that includes Newark, Jersey City and other *populat‘ion centers ‘immediately ‘»w to New York. TR :

The population of Greater London on June 19, 1921, was 7,476,168, while that of “Largest New York,” including the outlying districts, on January 1, 1920, was 7,820,676. = London increased in the 30 years between 1891 and 1921, 1,844,362 persons, while Largest New York increased, between 1900 and 1910, 1,879,646 persons.

NEED NOT DREAD POISON VY Science Announces the Discovery That Gasoline Will Prevent Evil Effects So Much Dreaded. s

_The fear of poison ivy, which has kept many a city dweller away from the woods and meadows a whole season through, is now an unnecessary fear. The specter in the shadows of the forest.is gone. Science has provided the means for warding off the illness which otherwise would follow infection. The remedy is just an application of ordinary .gasoline. Benzine may be used instead. :

Science has discovered that the irritation of the skin, in ivy poisoning, is no different from any other chemical burn, and that gasoline or benzine will dissolve and remove the poisonous oil of {»the ivy if applied in time. As many as eight hours may elapse between the touching of the ivy and the application of the remedy. KEven persons on hikes in llonely districts may benefit by the discovery, since any passigg motorist can supply enough gaso:fit\fig ‘do the work.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. o ,

Insect’s Depredations Enormous.

The rhinoceros-beetle is rendering the plantations along the coast of German New Guinega valueless, and unless the Australian goyernment, which holds the mandate, does something to fight the pest the plantations will be nothing more than monuments to the depredations of the rhino. A correspondent says: “In one or two instances they represent an appalling loss, and the sweeping away of the fruits of from ten to twenty years’ hard work. During the German occupation a determined effort was made to wipe out the beetle, and to this end half-a-dozen. sclentists were imported from the Cameroons and Germany, and attached to the local bureau of agriculture. These investigators tried to find a spray that would kill the parasite without damaging th& palms, and they were well on their way to success when the war came. and they fled. Since then nothing has been ‘done except by the beetle, who every year renders a cerfain number of plantations - valueless. The authorities don’t seem to realize the seriousness of the. thing. , : o

Hearts Diffex With Individuals.

“Phe student insistently demands a description of what he is pleased to call a ‘normal heart’ There is really no such entity as a normal heart,” said Dr. Louis Faugeres Bishop in an address befors the Medical soclety of the greater’ city of New York. “The nearest apprcach gan be found in a heart which is normal to the person carrying it. The heart of a laborer would be abmnormsl to a bookkeeper, and the heart of a #all, thin man would be ‘a strange findirg in the chest of a short, fat person.” * : Dr. Bishop was urging the examination of hearts by fluoroscopy, which he said enabled the physician to watch the m in action and to detect any abno ity of the performance of any part of . -

Windows on Modern Ships.

A notable feature of the modern passenger ship is the change from the old restricted circular porthole to the square type of window of generous proportions, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. The improvement 'is comparable to the change ashore from the old diamond pane to the balanced window sash. But, of course, at sea the ordinary framed window sash will not stand the exposure to spray and rain, where water-tightness is essential, without constant care and attention. For this reason a frameless window has been devised which consists entirely of thick plate glass with well‘smoothed edges. They are used in all ‘deckhouses, charthouses, and on the

| GOT TAPESTRIES AT BARGAIN

Vienna Pawnbroker Would Have Done Good Stroke of Business Had Not Police Interfered.

A distracted young widow, reports the Vienna correspondent of the London Dailly Mail, took one of three tapestries found under her father's bed to a pawnbroker and obtained a loan of about $l5, -She was amazed and scared when they told her the tapestry was a Gobelin worth millions of crowns. 0

~ The Gobalins are the property of Prince Czartoryska, who had given them to the young woman’s father to guard, When the man discovered one was missing from the hiding place under his-mattress he rushed to the police, who tracked down and arrested his daughter. M - - The weeping girl told the judge that she was married eighteen months ago and her husband died the day her baby was born. She Decame Jhomeless and went to lodge with her father, who had been in ‘the service of the prince. - She meant to redeem the Gobelin with the "first money she earned. - ; )

. The prince said he had suffered no injury, as the tapestries were undamaged and the amount the girl had borrowed was no more than he had meant to pay her father for taking care of them, ¥ . :

When the young mother was acquitted her father repeatedly kissed her tear-stained face and led her from ‘the court, : !

HAD EXAMPLE IIN ROGUERY

Famous “Captain Von Koepenick” Not the First to Make Fraudulent .. Use of Army Uniform.

The recent death of Voigt, the famous “Captain von -Koepeniek,” reminds Le Petit .Parisien that he had precursors of the same rare audacity in Paris. 5 A

In Paris, during the Directory, two men of military aspect presented themselves at the Nouvelle barracks, provided with forged orders of the police prefect and commandant of the city.

‘ln virtue of these orders they requisitioned two sergeants and some soldiers, and went with them to Rue Richelieu; then the Rue de la Loi, where they entered the house occupied by a young Turkish diplomat. ~ Showing their false warrant, they ransacked the rooms and furniture of the young Turk, took his jewels and his gold and threatened to take him to prison; but . finally, on his request, left' him at home guarded by one of the sergeants and two or three soldiers. : : . ;

. After whicn, dismissing the rest of the troops, they departed and have never been seen since.The two men were thieves for whom the police of that time were looking in vain., - : :

Stainless Iron Held Great Invention. . Stainless iron, which is already on the market in the form of golf clubs, cutlery, small metal parts, shop fittings, sheets for turbine parts, and for other machinery parts specially liable to corrosion through exposure, is steadily being made cheaper by the manufacturers in Sheffield. Its -high cost at present is the chief obstacle to its general use. When people recognize its intripsic value, stainless iron .wiil be used very extensively, says a steel maker. At present the development is in itg infancy, and the closest investigation is necessary before unqualifie ] claims can be made or before the discovery can be fully exploited. Stainless fron was regarded as one of the most important metallurgical developments of 1921. A great future is prophesied for it in engineering construction. It is expected that eventually it will replace copper, brass, and nickel In the manufacture of a wide variety of articles. o .

A Philadelphia builder advertises that all houses he is erecting are being wired for radio telephone service. That starts a lot of talk.

Quick Action Saves Oats,

~ When Mrs. John McCloskey looked out of her window Saturday she found their oats field on fire set presumably from a spark of a passing engine says the Wawaka corespondent. Mr. McCloskey was away from home threshing but she had the presence of mind to immediately telephone to the Randall farm and Mr. McCloskey with a force of men jumped into auto‘mobiles and rushed to the scene and soon stamped out the flames. Only a part of the field was burned owing to Mrs. McCloskey's quick handling of the situation. ik
