had a harrowing expenence with a
cockroach. He was fast asleep when he
was awakened by what he thought was
a terrible earache. The pain was in
tense and he hurriedly arose, and, se
curing some chlorform, almost deluged
tus ear with it. This lessened tne pain,
and the following morning he went to
a physician who made an examination
of the ear and found a dead cockroach
in it. The chloroform had killed it.

Is London X'uII Grown?
The result of the recent census shows
that during the last five years tho popula
tion has increased somewhat less rapidly
than it did in the previous ten 1881-91.
The number of people turned out to be
some 15,000 below the estimate formed on
the basis of 189L The difference is small
but Important, as it shows that the previ
ous fall in the rate of increase is main
tained. The Tjonulution is trrowina; at a
less and less rapid pace- At the beginning I
of the century it used to increase by more
han 20 per cent in the ten years between
successive censusea In 1881-1)1 that rate
hod fallen to 10.4 per cent, the lowest on
record, and now it is still less. This move
ment is not part of a general decline. It
ia peculiar to London and seems to indi
cate that the huge overgrowth of the me
tropolis has begun to cure itself. No town
can go on growing indefinitely, and even
London, monstrous as it is, has not ful
filled the expectations of earlier statistl
ciana Two hundred years ngo it appeared
to be growing so fast that Sir William
Petty, one of the earliest pioneers in dem
ographical research, reckoned that by
1840 the population would reach 10,000,
000, supposing it to continue at the same
rate. He thought, however, that a natural
limit would bo reached before then and
placed it in the year 1800, by which time
he calculated London would contain some
thing over 6,000,000 inhabitants and the
rest of Ensrland only 4,500,000.
He was very nearly right about the total,
which actually was about 9,000,000, but
London only accounted for one of them.
Since then it has nearly reached its maxi
mum, which, curiously enough, seems
likely to prove a real natural limit. For
the four years 1871-4 the average birth rate
was 35. 3. For the four years 1801-4 it was
only B0. 9. There has been a gradual and
almost continuous fall from year to year,
which has not been counterbalanced by
the simultaneous but slighter fall in the
death rate from 22.7 to 19.9. Fewer people
die in proportion to the population, but
still fewer are bora This )s explained by
the increasing disinclination to marry.
The marriage rates for the two. periods
contrasted are 19.6 and 17.8respectivqly.

The Painters of Komnnticlsm,
No anchorite ever disdained the luxuries
of life in better faith than the enthusiasts j
of romanticism. In tho year 1832 a little

haired, cadaverous extravagantly dressed
In all colors of tho rainbow, encamped
themselves in a desolate q.iorter of Paris.
una comes suddenly from tho roar and
turmoil of the streets into an oasis of soli
tude and silence. The ruins of an old
church make of tho place a sort of sanctu
ary. The houses on each side, once impos
ing, are dilapidated and abandoned, in
one of theso an ample lodging was found
for those immoderate lovers of art to
whom the consideration o personal well
beincr was auite ummnortant who were
more than content to breakfast on ah ode
and to dine on a ballad.
One empty room of immense size, going
rapidly to rack and ruin, seemed especially
fitted for their needs and was soon turned
into a temple of the arts. Could the al
ready tumble down place have possibly
been preserved to the present day, what a
mine of wealth, what priceless treasures It
would have been found to contain, for the
impromptu decorations were undertaken
by hands then quite unknown, but bound
to emerge into the full light of celebrity.
Perched upon ladders, a rose behind the
ear, cigarette in mouth, the peintres ro
mantlques produced masterpieces of gen
ius. On narrow panels high above his head,
Corot produced two exquisite views of
Italy; below him Chassereau designed a
Diana bathing, where were already indi
cated the almost savage grace and freedom
of his later works; Camilla Bogier covered
the ceiling with oriental fancies; Marilhat.
Celestin Nanteuil, Adolphe Lelcux added
their daring and picturesque contributions
and, brush in hand, these artists, them
selves aspiring poets, recited verses from
Hugo and Alfred de Musset as a fitting ac
companiment to pictorial inspiration. It
was one of those scenes which merited
Carlyle's fanciful description of the Stir
ling club, "A little flowery Island of poetic
intellect. ' 'Temple Bar.
Spencer Opposes the Metric System.
There has recently appeared In the Lon
don Times a series of exhaustive articles in
opposition to the adoption by England of
the metrie system. "It will rather sur
prise many people," says The Pall Mall
Gazette, "to learn that the, author of these
articles is Mr. Herbert Spencer. The
angels have always been regarded as on
the side of the innovation, rather than
against it Mr. Spencer sums up his objec
tions under four heads, which may be im
pressive enough on the ground of principle,
but will hardly shake the faith of those
who know from consular reports and bit
ter experience how much British industries
are hampered in dealing with the meter
using nations. He says, briefly speaking:
"(1) That mankind began with the dec
imal system and abandoned it in the
course of civilization for easy aliquot divi
sions, especially the duodecimal; (2) that
the French took a century and a half to
find out the boasted conveniences of the
metric system, and then only recognized
them under penal compulsion; (3) that in
America, where a decimal coinage pre
vails, it is rejected in favor of an easy
aliquot divisional system on the stock ex
change, where money transactions are
chiefly managed; (4) that not only the
practical men of the west today, hut the
wise men of the east many hundreds of
years ago, have agreed upon the impor
tance of great divisibility. Tho Chaldeans
based their calculations on the number 60,
which has ten divisions, and we today are
proposing to go back to a form of measure
ment characterized by relative Indivisibil
ity." "Arsenal BTown Cp.
