There is nowin operation in China etween eighty and ninety miles of rail- roads lying betveen the Kai-Ping col- licries and Tien-I'sin, the newestport t Peking. This line was commenced in 1881, to caury coal from the mines forr a distance of seven miles totheheadof a anal, which, for topographical reason couldnot be brought newer, Permis- sion tobuild it had been asked of the authoritiesin vain several yeurs before, ad was only finally secired by the declaration of the directors of the compuny that they must stop mining~ unless they obtained this neans of tramsportation, Then leave was granted for the comstructionof a tamyay on the condition that only horses or mulesshould be usedas motive power, Itwas u cuse of taking an ell wherean inch had been given, and the English engineers went quietly to work to construct @ locomotive out of such bits of iron and steel as they could puther, They succeeded in making a machine that would run, but had no sooner done so than they were pre vented from putfing on the finishing strokes, The trcksin the yard on which it wa Wilt were torn up,and it was thrust in & shed, either for final retirement or to wait forbetter diays, A few months alterward its completion was ventured upon,and, the govemment kiudly with- dravving its seruting, the operation of the little road by steam began without official sanction, The principal objectionof the govern- mentto rallroad enterprises, while ad- mitting their usefuliess, was that they would propably have to be managod by foreigners, who would thus obtain further influence in China, Experinents ina small vay vere subseqquently made, showing that this coull be awvoded. Under a board of Chiiese directors tventy-thice miles were added to the Kai-Ping road, and afterward another seetion of sixty miles, bringing the line to Tien-Tsin,” This road is in the northeastern cormer of the king- dom, in an outof-the-wuy nook, Whero the population is sprse and populir prejudices have least to be contended with, Itsimportance to the further prosecution of the railrond sys- tem, however, is greit, since it not only domonstrates that the natives can con- trol their own roads, provided that they can pay forthem, butit cin fuwnish the necessury supplios of coal for the opersa- tion of other railways in thoregion of Peking and Tien-Tsin.

Mr, E. G, Ravenstein produced an elaborate setof statistics to show thatthe world will,in the odinary course of things, be fully inhabited in about 182 years, which estimate considersbly oxtends the period utwhich some learned men be- lieve humanity will be crovded out, Having previously swept away the arcic and anlarct wgium as not being essential for his argu- ment, heparclledthe remainder out of theearthinto: cultivable Land, 28, 469, 000 square miles: steppe, scrub, poor grass, ete, 13,001,000 square niless hurren des: erts, 4,180,000 square miles;a total of 46,350,000 s¢ uare il The population living upn this he reckons at alittle over 1,467,000,000, divided thus: Earope, 860,200,000 Asia, 850,000,000, ca, 127,000,000 (2 much lower estimate t most people compute); Australia, 000; North America, §,250,0005 A merica, 36,500,000, Mr. Ravenstein sowed how, sippos ingthe standard of life among the vari ouspeoples 1o remiin the sume, sup- posing the population increased at the rateof Sper cent inevery decade, and supposing there are 10 extrnordinary improvements in agriculture, the popu- lation inthe 2072 will be 5,994 mil- lions. Inspeaking of the populations that these aveis would bear (men tioning 207 individuls to the square mile as a fair avoeage) he sug. gested that the productiveness of the earth might b better utilized when peo- pleundestool economy. In expressing a general opinion that tropical countries arenot it for Kurvepeans he granted ex- ceptionsto the rule, as, for example, in certain now wellknown highlands of frica. Oneof thetheoies propounded is that there iy a generl migration of people southvards, so thatin time a raceof Furopan origin may aris who willbe acclimatized in the tropics, On thowhole Mr, Ravenstein does not des pair that the world will be over popilated, becauso as new develop ments occur new adaptations will be found to meet them. Rewv. John Mae- kewie expresed the opinin that the Zanmbesi will all in courseof time be suitable for European residents. Mr. J, W. Wells, who has traveled 3,000 miles in Argentineand Brazil, thought that there isevery prospect of aspeedy con- struction of a wast systemof rall and fluyial communication all over the coun- try, The sumtotatof the discussion so far was an assumnce that there are plenty of places inthe world fit for pop- ulation, that therois ademand for pops ulation all over the world, and that we need’ mot particularly worry ourselves st whether the globe will be overpopulited in gmers tions to come, Mr, John Coles of the geographical soeity and traveling ed- itorof the Field luter added that he had halyellw fever in Brazil and seen o fever in the high plateauxof British Columbia that was verylike it; he hal known malarial fever produced by irei- gation innew countries, and he wirned hishearers that many of thelands in tho far west of North™ Amervica, which were represented as available for emi- grants, were made hopelessly unvail: ablo by the extortionte demands of | speculative lund sharks, e Liow Wages in India, "Man wants but little here bel oy is certainly the motto of some natives in | Indic A man of forty being cently exumined before amagistrate at Bunga lorestated that he eamed (wbout 12d) by bottling gingerbeer)and that he was quite satistied with his wages and posi tion, | ¥rom the Raven’s Roost the entive | sitteth upon the drcleof SHOSHONE FALLS, AGraphio Description of the Nagara of the West.
