CORRECT PROPHECY BY MATHEMATICIAN " Center of Population About Where Forecast in 1872 Washington prophecy made 5% cerning the spot at which the 1330 center of population of the United States would be found was pointed to today by Clarence E. Batschelet, census geographer, as the most ac- curate estimate available at this stage of the computations Undertaking, on the basis of an- nounced returns for the entire coun- try, to trace the movement of that mythical balance point from its 1920 resting place, Batschelet said at this point of the calculations he could not improve on the old figure. In 1872, he said, a brilliant but little known mathematician, Julius Erasmus Hilgard, estimated center of population would cl close to the 39th parallel of alti- tude, and would ve 126 miles westward between 1870 and 1900 and an added 88 miles between 1900 and 19 Near St, Hilgard this hypothetical 19 @ — A years ago con- TLouis Eventually further prophesied point wil miles east of St. Lou This, he fore would be just about its ultimate and the country could thereafter be de- pended on to maintain an approxi- mation of equilibrium, with St. Louis as pivotal point In the 1872 population prophecy, published in Scribner's MontHly, Hilgard made the first reliable com- putation of the eenter of popula- tion of the United States. The cen- sus bureau followed two years later with official computations for all census years up to that time and each _ succeeding census has neen tabulated as to population center with scientific accuracy From 1570 to 1300, which Hilgard said the population center would advance 126 miles, he missed it by but 6.5 miles—it moved 119.5 that the year 2000 the period in Two Abnormal Decades He based his prophecy not on the statistics on hand, but on a mathe- matical system he evolved. He fig- ured actual advances from 1540 to 1870. Two out of three of decades he branded as ‘not mal,” for firet represented gold rush to California and | third the life loss of the civil war | He said it was safe to assume that | “disturbing causes of such magni- |tude cannot occur again.” History has proved him correct to date Hilgard then argued in this fash- ion: The geographical center of United States now is just below the middle of the northern boundary of | Kansas. Owing to the comparative infertility of the territory lying .vest meridian, “it is certain the center of population, when a perma- nent ratio of distribution shall have been reached, cannot be far west of the Mississippi river.”” And, since these nor- the | there is no great disparity of north- will be 39 de- the it of from southern zones near the middle latitude grees, placing it not far city of St. Louis, He then took a tentative point near St. Louis as ultimate and moved the center of gravity toward |it at a rate based on the movement decade he considered normal. The actual distance moved from 1900 to 1920 was 49 leaving 31 to go in the present census bu- reau calculations. Until complete check is made, the burcau experts are content to let this estimate stand as probably within a few possibly five or six, of cor- rectness. ern and miles, 1S BANKRUPT August 19 (P— ning, contractor of a bankruptey peti- sterday gave his debt and assets mainly lif T MANNING New East Hart/ tion filed at $20.688 NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1930. 3 Personals Miss Amelia Diamend is spending vhn nmnlh of August at Weekapaug ckapaug, R.
