Tho search that was made by the friends of the missing man on Saturday lasted all day, but at might it was given up as a bad job, not the slightest clue being ov- tainable, A great sensation was caused Saturday afternoon by a false report that was set in ulation by Coroner Seybert, to the effect that the body had been found. Tho report wis communicated to the friends of the miss- ing man in Omaba, who telegrapned it to Mrs, Sloman at Dotroit. The report had to to bo afterwards contradicted by another tele- gram, and consideravle unnecessary anx was caused the unfortunate fak Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. 8, Mrs, C Mitchelt and Mr. Ned swered, woman by the coroner During S I Mitenell, Mitctell, while riding on the lake, suw the head of a man floating in the water on the outside of the lake opposite the hotel. They reported what they had seen was mode at the point 10 avail, and a search quostion, without Found Floating In the Lake. Yesterday morning about ¢ o'clock the man who keeps the boats on the uortn side of the luke saw a durk objoct floating about not far from tho beach on the south side. He at once investigated, and found that it was tihe body of a man. He rowed as quickly us nossible across the lake to the hotel and secured assistance. Returning to where the body was it did not take long to got the body into the boat and back to the hotel. It was identified as the body of Dr Sloman. It was chianged, however, until the intimate friends of tno dead man could harcly realizo that it was the body of their triend. It nud been in the water over forty-eight hours, and the warin weather had caused decomposition to set in. In the meantime Coroner Seybert and Undortaker W. C. Ilstep had been notified, and the body was svon taken to the uuder’ taker's, Iu'the evening it was dispatched to Detroit, Mich., tor burial. Au inquest will be held this morning at 10 o'clock, when it is hoped that somo of the mystery connceted with the death will be cleared up. There dre several theories as to tho causo. ‘Ihers were 1.0 marks of violence on tho body, #nd on the dead man’s person were found a gold watch aud chain, 8 giamond ring and some small chanee, sbowing that no robvery hud been commitied or even attempted, The watch was found to have been stopped by the water at 7:50 o'clock, but it uad evidently run for quite a while after he fell into the water, as when the body was found there were only u few drops of water in the waten, Some are of the opinion that the acad man was pulling his boat into shore when he lost bis balance and fell from the dosk into tne deep water, ‘This theory accounts for the fact that' the boat was found float- ing right side up and dry nside, The men counceted with the hotel aamit, however, that when Dr. Sloman left the hotel Thursday night to go out on the lake for tho row that cost him his lifo he seomed to be in bis usual good spirite.

Instructive Data on Population by Sex and Nativity. The recent census bulletin giving the population of the United States by sex, color and nativity in 1800 coatains data of much interest to the student of social science. Of the total population 53,372,703 were native vorn aud 9,633,300 of foreign birth. Clussi- fied 1n Accordance with color, the white in- habitaats of the country numbered 54,953,800 and the colored 7,633, In the colored ele- ment of our population ara included Chinese, Japanese and civilized indians, as well as persons of African descent. But the immediute purpose of this articte, says the Philadeiphia Record, is to call at- tention to the distribution of tae inhabitants of the United States according to sex. In most countries that have been long settled and are not subject to immigration the fe- males ave slightiy in excess of tho males—a law which seems to prevail Jargely through- out the animal kingdom. [n England there ure 104 femules 10 100 males; in Scotland, 110 females to 100 males; in lrcland, 103 femate 10 100 males, and in Sweden, 106 females to 100 inales, ‘I'he proportion between the Sexes in these countries is largely influenced by emigration, as it is influenced in the United States by immigration. icance, on the other hund, which is hittle affected by emigration, show’s a littie over 1C1 females to 100 male inhabitants, In Belgium, also littie dis- turbed by omigration, the pronortion of fo males is 100.4 to 100 males. In some coun- tries of Europe there is, owing to transieat causes, a slight tend toan increase, and in others to a decreuse in tnese proportions vetween the sexess, But in the United States the rule is com- pletely reversed, the proportion being only ninety-five females (o each 100 males. The cause readily wssigned oy Suporintendent Porter for this great disparity between the sexos is 1 tho large inerease of immigrants since 1880, over three-fifths of the entire number naving been males, lmmigration, ho vever, does not wholly, or even partially, account for the great disparity in the local distribution of the population by sexes. In ow York the foreiga-born inhabitants num- ber 1,571,050, aua 1 that state_the females outnumber the males by 44,067, In Peun- sylvania, on the other hand, the foreigu-born inhavitants number 815,720, while the males are 74,648 in excess of tho females, In a fovmer article we have shown that in Penn- sylvania the great disparity between the sexes prevails ouly in those portions of the state (the conl and iron regions) which have attracted foreign labor. In ail other parts of the state the proportion of the soxes is normal, as it s in Eorope. Turning, however, to other states that are little affected by immigration, 1t is difficult to account for tho undue numerical disparity between the sexes in the census returns of 1800, Massachuseits contains 657,137 1n- habitants of foreign origin in a total popula- tion of that state the fomales are 6 of the males. In Connecticat, with a foreign born population of 183,601 inn total of 746,255, the females outnumber the males 3ut how comes it that New Hampshiro with a foreign born population of 12,340 in a total of 3 ), has 3,998 more females than males, while in Ver- mont, with 44,058 inhabitants of foreizn origin ina population of 332,422, the males aro 32 in excess of the femalest g southward, much greater disvarities are observable in the distribution of the sexes, for which migration offords no ade quate explanation, Kentucky with a foreign- vorn populatiou of 6 ouly in a total of 1, 51 more males than females, fn Arkensas, with 14,264 inhabitants of foreign birth, in a populittion of 1,125,179, the males ure 43,331 in excess of the females. Mississippi hus a total population of 1 600, of whom 7,952 are foreieners, and in that state the males are 4,764 in excess of the females. On the other hand, 1n Lowsiana in a populution of 1,113,557, containing 49,747 of forcign birth, the sexes are nearly equal, there being 579,350 males and females. In Alabama, containing nopulation of 1,513,017, of whom 14777 are of foreign birth, the males &ro 1, in excess of the females. \Vhat are the social conditious that cause such a disparity be- tween the sexes in con urities that are not much affected by immigration, and in which the people differ little 1 pursuits and cus- toms¢ ‘The census returns afford no answer; but there1s au answer if it bo diligently sought for. OF course it is easy enoueh to explain why Montana has only 44,277 females to 87,552 or why tuere are ouly 21,632 females owing in a total population of 60,705, notwithstanding the inducement of woman suffrage. The popuiation of these Rocky Mountain states has much increased since 1500, andthe aisparity between the sexes has somewhat declined. But Texas, with a total _povulation of 5, of | whom 152,036 only are of foreign birth, bas 111,753 more males than females. The ouly adequate explanation of the extraordinary disparity between Lho sexes in xas and other states is that the females have not been fully re- turned. e ODDS AND E NDS, A German of science has shown that the tands of Gormany devoted to grains used in beer production would support 50,000,000 people.

In the reason for such a dif ference in lovel will' 'ba found the ex planation of the river's uphill flow. As any school boy will tell us, the earth is ball flattened” at the poles. The Nat tening, while comparatively insignfi cant, is still sufficient to make the poiur diameter twenty-eight miles snorter than the equatorial diamater, In other words, the north and the south pole are fourteen miles nearer the earth’s center than is the equator. Now, the distance from the north polo to the equator, measured along the earth’s surface, is 6,000 miles, and the distance from the source of the mouth of the Mississippi is about 1,500 miles, or one-fourth of 6600, Tf, therefore, there is a ditference in lovel of fourteen miles between the north pole and the cquator the Youth's Companion aryues that there will be a difference in level between the source of the Mississippi and its mouth of one-fourth of fourteen miles, or three and one-fourth miles. But the territory watered by the Mis. sissippi has been elevated somewhat by voleanie or similar forces and the actual excess in height of the rive mouth is reduced to the three miles fivst men- tioned, How is it possible for the river to run up hill? When, eons ago, the sun had thrown the earth from its surface like a drop of water from a swiftly turning wheel our globe became a huge ball of molten rock, itself swiftiy revolving in spuce As it gradually cooled it shranlk, and by shrinking its veloeity inc sed, just us o stone tied to u string and twisted about a boy's finger revolves more rapidly as the string wind¥ about 1he finger. When the .x<|A||h|;_'«l force had so increased us to exceed grav tation n huge mass shot off from the earth’s equator and became the moon, Still, the centrifugal force retained ample power to ex- pand the earth’s equator, and to retain it in this form until cold and rigid. Nor has this force yet abated. s it drew toward the cquator the earth’s material when plastic, it still continues to sttract in the same direction all the fluids upon the earth’s surface. In this way gravitation is partially overcome, and the Mississippi viver flows steadily up its three-mile hill to the Mexican gul. A second question is suggested: would ensue if the ‘What svolution of the earth should be by some means gradually The and retarded? come more Mississippi would be- more sluggish; the en tire valle; d the great lakes would swell into an inlund sea, and the Gulf of Mexico would seek through them its y to the north pole. If the earth should cease to revolve altogether, the oceuns of the eqnutor would forsnke their beds and hasten toward the pole Probably the entire globe north of the latitude of Boston wou'd be submerged. — ey 1o Mont Blane Observatory, A second attemptisto be mad: to build an observatory at the top of Mont Blane, says Nature. the workmen who tunneled last year through the snow just below the summit did not come unpo rock, M. Junssen s devided that the building shall be erected on the frozen snow. A wooden cabin was put up, as an experiment, at the end of lust summer, and in January and early in the spring it was found that no movement had occurred. Accord- ing to the Lucerne corvespondent of the London Times, the observatory is to be a wooden building eight metres long and four metres wide, and consisting of two floors, each with two rooms. The lower floor, which is to be embedded in the snow, will be placed at the digpos tion of climbers and guides, and the upper floor reserved for the purposes of the observatory, The roof, which is to be almost flat, ‘will be furnished with a balusteade, running round it, together with a cupola for observations, The whole building will rest upon six power- ful screw-jucks, so that the equilibrium may be restored if there be any dis- placement of the snow foundations. The building is now being made in Parvis, and will shortly be brought in sections to Chumounix. The transport of the building from Chamounix to the sum- mit of Mount Blane and its ercetion there have becn intrusted to the charge of two capable guides—I'rederick Payot and Jules Bosscney.
