Population of India.

The last Indian census shows that in the last ten years the natural growth of India's population has been 27,500,000. The population now numbers 280,009.000. One can hardly appreciate what these figures mean except by comparison. India contains more people than all Europe exclusive of Russia. Its provinces are as populous as great European States. Bengal contains a population larger than that of the United States and all British North America, and fully one-fifth of the entire human race lives upon this jieninsula jutting out from the coast of Asia into the Indian Ocean.
