On humanitarian grounds Ro stronger objection can be made to the employment of submarine Doats than to the use of mines and torpedoes for blowing up hostile ves- eels, The submarine destroyer is only @ variation of the ordinary tor- pedo boat, and the objection to the former because of its potential de- structiveness would hold vod against the latter.

The International Statistical association, at Berne, Switreriand, has made the necessary arrange- Ments, so the cablegrams say. A committee of ways and meana, con- isting of scientists, geographers and statisticians, has been appointed to ‘work for a8 complete 4 count as pos- Sible. With few exceptions, all the countries of the gidbe will join in_ the world census of 1900, and the twelfth census of the United States | will form @ part of It. The popula- tion of the world has been a subject for guess work, and even after the census of 1900, mere conjecture will etill play @ arge part in all estimates of the number of the world’s inhab- | ftants. Professors Behm and Wag- ner, of Goettingen, who have made one of the most recent estimates, place the population of the globe at 1,700,000,000. China, Persia, Siam, Afghacistan and Turkey have never had an official count, and obviously Jarge areas of Africa are beyond | the reach of the census enumerator. 14 Hung Chang has made the prom- ise that China will count its popula tion in 1900, and efforts will be made to get the other uncounted nations | to have a cenvus taken. Even if they should all undertake a census the correctness would be subject to doubt by statisticians, It requires such an organization end high degree of efficiencyand skill to count a nation as none of the countries named possesses. They are all indifferent to accuracy and incapable of attaining it, and in ac-| cepting their figures allowances will have to be made for the Oriental im- egination, Their figures, however, ‘will form some sort of basis for esti mates, and when only @ smal! area) of the globe remains uncounted, a/ close approximation can be made to the world popuiation.
