be taken In order to ascertain the thl
wishes of the men themselves. The the
colonel is the descendant of a long line the
of Scotch lairds and strives earnestly wo
to uphold the old traditions. 1

t would be a disgrace to mankind Fir
10,000 years from now a single hun

th to support its inhabitants.
'he land surface of the globe coy- Fir
over 50,000,000 square miles. Acding
to the censuses and estimates
de in 1910, it contains nearly 2,,000,000
inhabitants, an average of
ty to the square mile. Leaving out
account the mountains, the desert
1 the ice-covered land about the
es, there must be at least 30,000,square
miles capable of support'
a dense population, especially with '
aid of modern scientific methods
I modern machinery for the cuidion
of the soil. If the whole 30,,000
square miles could be made to
tain a population as dense as that
Belgium the earth would have
ut 20,000,000,000 Inhabitants. If
average density were only 200 to mmm
square mile Instead of 650, as in
glum, the total population would
6,000,000,000. ?1
>ur population in 1910 was about
>00,000, living on an area of 3,560,square
miles, an average of been
25 and 26 human beings to the
are mile. There can not be the
htest doubt that this could be In- 1
ised to an average of 200 to the
are mile, making a DODulatlon for
United States of more than 700,,000.
Very likely this could be In- '
ised to a thousand millions with
aid of modern science,
he vast area of Africa, with an
Et of more than 12,000,000 square

n 150,000,000 inhabitants, an averof

at least half of Africa Is very fer,
and even the Sahara desert posies
the potential elements of fertllonly

bable that Africa could maintain
