ERIN'S POPULATION LESS.
Total Number of Inhabitants at the
Middle of Last Year Was Put
at Only 4,403,192
THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1008,
Consul Gunsaulus, of Cork writes
that some valuable and interesting
figures are given in the annual report
of the registrar general of Ireland,
Just Issued, covering the fiscal year
1904. According to this report the
estimated population of Ireland has
fallen, in the middle of the year 1905
to 4,403,192
It appears that during 1904 the mar
riages registered in Ireland numbered
23961, the births 103511 and the
deaths 79513 The marriage rate
which Is 622 ig 1,000 of the estimated
population, shows an increase of 001
As compared with that for the year
1903, and is 21 per cent above the av
erage rate for the ten years from 1594
to 1903, and the highest rate for any
of these years. Aas to the birth rate
(236 Im 1.000) it shows sn increase
of 05 as compared with that for the
preceding year, and is also 05 above
the average rate for the ten years—
1894-1902. The death rate (181 in
3.000} Is 0.8 above the rate for the
preceding year and 01 above the av
erage rate for the ten years from 1594
to 1903.
The natural increase of population
recorded, or excess of births over
deaths, was 24.298, the loss by em!
gration amounted to 331502; a decrease
of 13804 in the population would
thus appear to have taken place during
the Year; but against this decrease
there is a setoff in Immigration of
which po official record has been ob

WASTE AFFORDS FORTUNES
Filtration Plants Produce Material
of Great Value in In-
dustries
“Waste pot, want not,” tells ously
half the story in the twentieth century,
which finds fortunes in waste products
Sulphate of iron as a water purifylug
pgent, with an admixture of a small
percentage of copper sulphate, is of
comparatively recent use in mechanl
eal filtration, and its merit as a cougu
lant, together with its low «ost has
for sluminium sulphate
therefore, has been previded for a
waste product the uses of which hith
erto Rave been much circumscribed
and the disposition of which at al
jarge finishing mills has been a prob
jem. The possibilities of the trade
suggested by the requirements of one
of the largest filtration plants, where
2.500 tons are used annually More at-
tention also is being paid to the

many unsuccessful sttempts at briguet

FISHES FOND OF MINNOWS.
Great Numbers Are Required as One
Item of Aquarium Food
Supplies
Ia mature everywhere large @shes
feed on small ones and on other forms
of snimal life which they may find
lu the water, and for their well being
{it is always sought as far as possible
to supply such natural food to fishes
that in New York, with many captive
food purposes, among other things
rof & great number of minnows The
larger fishes in the New York aquarik
am coasumed last year about
rels
The minnows thus fed range frem
half an inch to five inches in length
and average about 2,500 to the quart,
«0 that it takes about 2.500000 min-
nows annually to furnish this item
of the aquarium’s food supplies. which
fncludes also clams and shrimps and
cut up fresh fish and various other
things
The largest of the striped bass a
fish close to three feet in length and
weighing probably 26 pounds, will eat
from 200 to 250 minnows in a day If
it should eat 200 a day for 300 days
in the year it woud in that period
consume 60000 minnows
But whether like the big striped
bass. they eat 200 minnows in a dav,
or like some of the smaller fishes,
only a dozen, or half a dozen, all Bshes
like minnows and this fondness for
them is not confined to fishes alone
but Is shared by other animals of the
«ea. as, for instance by seals which
like minnows very much If a hand-
ful of minnows are thrown into a pool
of seals the seals will dive and swim
about after them with great swiftness
until! they have swallowed every one
So it takes quite a lot of minnows
to satisfy the natural appetite of the
aquarinm's larger flashes but the two
and a half millions or thereabouts
thus annually taken don’t cut much
of a figure as compared with tire pum-
ber left The minnows for the aguari-
tm are all gathered within a com-
paratively small area aeighboring to
Gravesend bay
THE LARGEST RIVER PORT.
——
The Largest Number of Boats and
Tonnage Is Enrolled at
Memphis
Memphis is the largest river port
having boats enrolled exclusively in
the river trade in the United States
both in number of boats engaged In
trade that makes this the home port
and In tonnage. This, states the Mem-
phis Commercial Appeal, 1s shown by
the report of the commissioner of nav
igation of the United States
Memphis has 54 boats enrolled here
at the home port, with a total tonnage
of 12.318 ons St Louls comes next,
with 75 boats, showing a total tonnage
of 22.820 tons. This large tonnage Is
shown by reason of the fact that many
barges of large tonnage are making
St. Louis the home port that are not
entitled to be named among boats that
are registered as trafic boats. Taking
them off would give Memphis a much
larger tonnage, and would also ino-
crease the number of boats In excess of
those at St. Louls. Cincinnati has 68
boats, with a total tonnage of 14.232
Many .of these are also barges, and
should not properly be named
Wheeling, W Va. is next to St Louts
in number of boats, but the tonnage |»
only 85,188 The total number of boats
is 72. Evansville has 71, with a total
tonnage of 6,509 New Orleans has
30 boats engaged In the river trade,
and a total tonnage of 4.748 Paducah
has 30, with a total tonnage of 5542,
while Louisville has 38 boats, with a
total tonnage of 7,030. Cairo has only
11 boats that use It as a home port,
with a total tonnage of 2,368
