TWELVE HUNDRED MILLIONS.
The Estimated Population of the
Entire World.
There are statisticians in several
countries, the best known of whom it
the learued German, Herr Schem,
who endeavors to present from time
to time statu tics of the populatios of
the entire worlc1. Inasmuch as many
populous countries have no census
and often nothing like a census these
world statisticians can oi;!y put, to
gether, as to these countries tbe lu st
attainable guesses.

number of men is suj posil to be
somewhat unaller than the number of
women.
The number of deaths in the entire
world, each year, is placed at about
33,250,000, which would make nearly
100,000 a day. 4,000 an hour and
sixty-seven a minute.
On the other hand, there are, it is
estimated, 36,7oC,0G0 persons horn
every year, which would make more
than 100,000 per day and seventy per
minute.
The average duration of life, in the
world as a whole, is thirty-eight
years. One-quarter of the people
upon the earth die before reachiusr
the seventeenth year. About six of
each 1,000 nersoi.s born reaches the
age of seventy live years.
Married people live a treatcr ae

Great Satisfaction Over the New-
Pension Commissioner.
MEXICAN SILTEll-LEAD.
Army Regulations Wanamaker and
the Virginiaos- The World's Ex
position acd Wattuugtsn.
Special Corrcspouuence. I
General (Jreen ii. Kaum, tbe newly
appointed Commissioner of Pensions,,
is in charge of the Pension office to
day. Gen. Raum is a man of national
representation; he served one term in
tbe House ef Representatives from
tne inincenui Illinois uisirict, uui
his greatest reputation was gained as
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, a
position he ably filled from 1SC7 to
1SS3. His acceptance of the office is
a ,'reat surprise here, as it is well
known that ke gaye up ajlaw practice
wcrth more than double the salary of
the of:e. It is generally believed
among republicans that he accepted
thefofiice to relieye the President
from a very embarassing possition.
Gen. Raum has a splendid war
record, and is an enthusiastic work
ing member of the G. A R. His ap
pointment has, I honestly believe
given more real and general satisfac
tion hero than any one made by the
President. The following may be
taken as specimens of the way it is
received by prominent republicans
Senator Mitchell A good appoint
ment, I should say so. Like it?
Why I am delighted. Senator Man
derson An excellent appointment.
It is a happy solution of all our woes,
Gen. Raum is a good lawyer, a good
soldier and e good citizen. R preseu
tative Bayne There could have been
no better solution of the question.
Gen. Raum is a man of great execu
tive ability. His judgement is
'sound, and having confidence in it,
he is never afraid to do what is rfght.
i . - ,
.Representative Anaerson toi nansas,
Gen. Raum was a gallant soldier.
There is to doubt of where bis sym
pathies lie. At the same time he is
a man of good judgment and of long
experience in a department of the
Government where lie was trained in
the execution of the law. Ex-Commissioner
Tanner I think it is a
splendid appointment. Representa
tive Burrows It is capital! capital.
It could not have been better. Ex
Representative Goff It is a superb
appointment. Ex-Senator Bruce An
excellent appointment. The local G.
A. R. men are tickled almost to
