The March number of the En­
glish Statist publishes some inter­
esting facts concerning the in­
crease of wealth among the nations.
Some of the statements are sur
prising. For example, it appears
that while England has doubled
her wealth since 1845, France has
doubled Le -s since 1856, and that
of the United States has been
doubled
M W since 1864. While the
wealth of England baa grown from
16,300jnillions in 1830 to 45,000
millions in 1884, the wealth of
France has grown from 10,646
millions to 41,700 millions in the
same period. The wealth of the
U.iited States, which was 8,430
milli ms in 1850, when first esti­
mated, has advanced to 57,670
millions in 1884. Our growth in
population, however, has been
more rapid than that of Great
Britian, and hers has been much
more rapid than that of France.
The United States is the richest
country in the world, but Great
Britian has the greatest average
wealth for each inhabitant, amount­
ing to $1240 to each person, France
$1002, and $981 for each inhabi­
tant of the United States. The
increase of wealth in England may
be accounted equal to that of
France, if the fact be considered
that the former country has sent
out six millions ot emigrants in
the last thirty-five years. The an­
nual accumulation of capital in
Great Britian during the last four­
teen years has averaged $23 a head,
and this increase is mainly dne to
the extension of British shipping,
banking business and colonial
traffic. Before the second empire,
the yearly accumulations in France
averaged $8 per head ; during the
second empire, $14; and since $29
per head. The capital wealth of
France is much less than that of
Great Britian or the United States,
and her yearly earnings are less;
but her people are thrifty and save
more in proportion to what they
gain. From 1850 the annual accu­
mulation of wealth in the United
States averaged $44 a head, and
now it is set at $25 per head Ac­
cording to these curious calcula­
tions the average American adds
7 cents daily hi the public fortune,
and the United States isj$4,000,000
richer at sunset every day than it
was at sunrise. Estimating the
accumulations of Europe and the
United States at $ll,000,000£daily,
and the excess of births over
deaths at 11,000, the statistician
asserts that for every child born
into the world, at least in Christen­
dom, there is an additional fund of
$1000 to provide for its.necessities.
This is a pleasing thought, alto­
gether at variance! with the g™“
doctrine that man is born to pover­
ty aud wretchedness.—Ex.
The petrified wood, which is so
abundant in the United States Ter­
ri toriesjof Arizona, Wyoming and
the Rocky Mountain regions is
rapidly becoming utilized by the
practical American. In San Fran­
cisco there is now a factory for
catting and polishing these pétrifi­
cations into mantel-pieces, tiles,
tablets and other architectural
for which marble or slate is com­
monly used. Petrified wood is said
to bo susceptible of a finer polish
than marble, or even onyx, the
latter of which it is driving from
the market The raw material em­
ployed comes mostly from the
forests of petrified wood along the
line of the Atlantic and Pacific
Railway. Several other companies
have also been formed to obtain
concessions of different portions of
these forests. Geologists will re­
gret the destruction of such inter­
esting primeval remains, and some
steps oughc to be taken to preserve
certain tracts in their orignial
state.—Ex.
