WHICH IS LA, NEW YORK NATIONAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCiETY DISCUSSES RELATIVE SIZES OF NEW YORK AND LONDON } i Washington, Oct. 4.?What is the largest city in the world? "The question arises again with 1fte British census announcement Wkieh ascribes "to Greater London" 7 476.16# Deonle." says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters the National Geographic society. ''"Since the 1920 census gave New Yerk City a population of 5,060,048, there would seem to be no question regarding the relative size of the two cities. But if one seeks to know what is the largest population center in the world, then New York can *?hrance a tenable claim against Lond?i for the honor. "Strictly speaking, the municipality of New York has more people than the municipality of London. Far, legally, as a municipal unit, 'Leaden' refers only to. the area within the boundaries of the county I London. Thus the municipal Lon<Un, which corresponds to the municipal New York, comprises about 116 square mfles and in 1911 had a peculation of 4,500,000. Only the *#reater London' figures are earned in dispatches, but at the rate of frtwth tiey indicate London proper sttD is under the 5,000,000 mark. "The 'Greater London' which has Marly 7,500,000 has an existence as a metropolitan &nd police unit. It is ivnicipal London plus the socalled 9 mv. rr Ant* t /?o ? wuxer rung, iik it?io,i?o pcuptc f 'Greater London' are distributed w 693 square miles, an area six tiMes that of municipal London and M?re than twice that of municipal New York. * \ . "In passing it should be noted that not onlyja there a diatimctioa between 'Greater London' and plain 'Sesdon,' but that the 'City of Lon4m' is 'something yet again.' The '?Hy of Loadon' covers only 675 awes and has a resident population ef fewer than 25,000. The day papulation, however, exceeds 300,# 0. The 'City of London' is the London of history, with its quaint gerernment forms, including its lord Mayor which honored ceremony kaown as the lord mayor's show. "New York of today is an agglomeration of towns. All have been amalgamated with the orignal New York, comprised in what now is the borough of Manhattan, or the county of New York. The New York which includes the boroughs of ' Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens apad Richmond, is a municipal unit with an area ef 326 square miles sad a population of 5,620,048. '"The Greater London' includes all thes uburbs within & radius of 15 wiles around Charing Cross. By this definition New York ailso should include Jersey City, Hoboken and Bayonne, across the Hudson, and Yenkers, Mt. Vernon and New Jtoehelle to the north. "Suppose iNew York were to add to its present area the aggregate 273 miles of Hodson, Essex and Union counties in New Jersey. It ?tai would be 10Q square miles than 'Greater London,' but would pass the 7,000,000 mark in population. Were it then to add portions of Westchester county (north of the Bronx) and of Nassau county on Long Island) it would pass London's population well within a like arrtt "Hemming up, then, municipal New York is larger than municipal London. A mythical ^Greater New York' extending as far into its environs as does ^Greater London1 would be larger than 'Greater London.' Aside from municipal definition New York and t&e territory about it constitutes a greater population center than London. "Within 50 miles of the city hall, New York, there now lives more 9.000.000, and within a 100 mile radius lives one-ninth the entire population of the United States." ?. During a campaign preceding th? election of a Missouri congressman it was suggested that, since he posed as a good business man he might be willing te tell just what a good business mam S. "That's easy," he explained^ "A ?Md busiaess man ie one who ear bay goods from a Scoteknan ami sel tfcem to a Jew?at a profit!"?TM< Alabama Baptist. RGEST CITY OR LONDON? MANY CORN DISEASES BROUGHT WITH SEED 1 Clemson College, Oct.?Until recent years corn was considered prac- ' tically free of diseases except smut. ' That it is actually subject to a num- ' ber of other serious diseases which < are carried on the seed was hardly J even dreamed, but investigations of 1 the last years have shown this to be the case. It is, therefore, very import- 1 ant that seed corn be selected with s the greatest care regarding freedom < from disease, say the Clemson College plant pathologists. The preliminary selection of seed com ears should always be made in the field, where the characteristics which make for freedom from disease as well as other desirable characteristics, can be discovered. | The first requirement is a good si^ed, vigorous ear on an upright, vigorous stalk. Nubbins and down stalks are apt to be caused by disease. Moreover, an ear lying on the ground is apt to be moist and infected with fungi- The worst enemy of the corn ear is water, because if the ear under the shucks remains damp after ripening it will inevitably be infected with molds and bacteria and be spoiled for planting purposes. On account of this, ears of corn which stand up straight are also apt to be damaged because the water can run down under the shucks. Choose for seed those ears which hang oVer and thus shed rain water. However do not pick an ear with a broken shank, as such a shank probably has been weakened by fungous attack. Next discard all ears which shotf evidence of being moldy. Mold can sometimes be discovered on the upper part of the grains, but generally will require more careful examination. Examine the end of the cob carefully where the shank breaks off when gathering. A moldy discolora tion is sufficient cause for rejection. Such ears are apt to have a lot ef diseased grains. Next remove a number of grains and examine grains and cob. Moldiness of grains or c?b, or death of the germs, is sufficient cause for rejection. In some cases it may be necessary to break the ear in two and examine the cob in order to be sure of the condition. Having selected good, sound ears, store them properly. Thoroughly dry out, with the aid of artificial heat if necessary and store in a dry place. Molds and diseases can not make any headway if things are kept dry. This procedure will give a high class lot of seed corn; but even so, more seed should be saved than will be necessary at seeding time, for many a sound appearing ear will not germinate well, and many such will germinate perfectly but produce weak and diseased stalks. Even the most careful selection needs to be supplemented later with a test for germination and* diseases. TOP SOIL ROAD. The Abbeville County Highway Commission will receive sealed bids for construction of 7.36 miles of top soil rood from Donalds ' to Greenwood County line until noon October 20th. Certified check for $1000 required with bid. Right reserved to reject any or all bids. L. W. KELLER, Secretary, Abbeville, S. C. H. B. HUMBERT, Engineer, Abbeville, S. C.

For instance, the supposed mummy's right hand of the Pharoah's daughter who rescued Moses from the bulrushes has recently been willed to an Dlinois colege. Now comes word from the Driental institute at the University >f Chicago that the name of this particular daughter of the Pharoah a lumnuwu tu uiavvijr* "The Egyptian did not consider his act important enough to record," jays Dr. T. George Allen, secretary >f the institute, "and the Hebrew records are not sufficient to identify aer. There is no unanimity even as to which Pharoah was the Pharoah >f the oppression." The donor of the mummy hand was i woman 90 years old, who gave her prize to Bradley Polytechnic insti;ute at Peoria, 111., in the firm conviction that it was indeed <jne that tiad fondled the great Hebrew lawgiver. This incident recalls here "Cleo-i sively shown ia Europe and the United States a few years ago. "When the exhibitors got to Chi:ago they went broke," related Dr. ?. C. Cole, assistant curator of the department of anthropology at the Field Museum of Natural History. 'The mummy consequently went into rtorage. ?. With an associate I went to the warehouse and unwrapped it. Cleopatra's mummy turned out to be the trapped skeleton, not the mummy, of a man."
