GEO. H. MORRILL CO. MANUFACTURERS PRINTING AND LITHOGRAPHIC INKS OFFICES BOSTON NEW YORK CHICAGO SAN FRANCISCO LONDON s [TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR] ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR I 909 COMPILED BY JAMES LANGLAND, M. A. ISSUED BY THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS COMPANY [Copyright, 1908, by The Chicago Daily News Co.] PREFACE. With this issue The Daily News Almanac and Year-Book completes the twenty-fifth year of its existence. The first num- ber was for 1885 and, as heretofore noted, it was simply a little paper-bound booklet of sixty-four pages. It was necessarily restricted in scope and the subject matter handled was very much condensed. However, it met the requirements of the public in a measure and its publication was continued, such additions being made to size and contents from year to year as seemed advisable in order to increase its usefulness as a work of reference. As expansion has been the order of the day in national affairs, so progress has been the watchword of this publication from the day it first appeared a quarter of a cen- tury ago. It has grown with the country and with the state and city in which it is issued and it is believed that this anni- versary number will prove that its development has been along lines tending to make it, in some degree, helpful to every per- son, no matter what his calling or occupation may be. As usual, every effort has been made to have the information pre- sented up to date and thoroughly reliable, the facts' wher- ever possible being obtained from official sources. A glance over the index, which begins on the opposite page, will give a better idea of the scope and comprehensiveness of this infor- mation than anything that might be said here. INDEX 1909.

Lunar Cycle or .Golden Num- ber 11 Solar Cycle 14 Human Indiction 7 Julian Period 6622 Jewish Lunar Cycle 7 KXTLANATOHT NOTE The Dominical letter or letters (two for leap year), or Sunday letters, indicate the day of the year on which the first Sunday occurs, the lirst seven letters of the al- phabet being used. Thus, for 1909, the Dominical letter is C, the third letter of the alphabet, and hence the third day of the year will be the first Sunday of the year. In leap years two letters are used, the first being for January and February , aud the latter, being the preceding letter, an- swers for the last ten months, in order to main- tain the cycle. The rule for obtaining the Do- minical letter for any year is somewhat compli- cated and for that reason is omitted here. The Golden Number is that number of a cycle of nine- teen years which shows how many years have elapsed since the new moon fell on Jan. 1, for in nearly nineteen years the solar and lunar years nearly come together. The chief use of this cycle is in fixing the date of Easter, and in this same connection is used the Epact. The Solar Cvcle is the number of years that have elapsed .since the days of the week fell on the same days of the year, or when there will, therefore, be a recur- rence of the Dominical or Sunday Letter. This would be the case every seven years but for leap year, hence four times seven is the cycle, or twenty-eight years. It is the remainder found by adding nine to the year and dividing the sum by twenty-eight. The Roman Indictiou is a cycle of fifteen years and is of no utility except to chro- nologers. It is the remainder found by adding three to the year and dividing by fifteen. The Julian Period is a cycle of 7,980 years and is the product of the three cycles. Golden Number (19), Solar Cycle (28) and Roman Indiction (151. and hence shows the time when these cycles will co- incide or begin at the same time. The first of this cycle will he completed in the year 2267: it is the year 4- 4713. The Dionysiaii Period is a cycle of 532 years and is called the great Paschal cycle, being the product of a completed solar aud lunar cycle (28x19). It is the remainder found by adding 4T>7 to the year and dividing by 532. and with the Julian Period is ehiefiy used by chronologers. The Jewish Lunar Cycle is always three less than the Golden Number and is used by the Jews in fixing the time of their festivals. 14 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1909.

THE PLANETS. See also the table of the rising, setting and meridian passage of the planets. MERCURY will be brightest: 1. As a morning star west of the sun, March 3-S and Oct. 25-31, rising about Ih. 15m. before the sun, being farthest west of the sun March 9, 27, and Oct. 28, 18. 2. As an evening star, east of the sun, April 27-May 3 and Sept. 20-26, setting about Ih. 15m. after the sun. being farthest east of the sun May 20. 22, and Sept. 17, 27. Look for a very red star within the above- named Intervals near the sunrise or sunset points at or near the time of beginning or end of twi- light and a little no from the horizon. It Is quite an event to observe this planet and be cer- tain of It. VENUS, the "love star" or planet, will not at- tain her greatest degree of brilliancy possible this year, but she will be brightest of the year at Its close. (See table of the planets.) She will be a morning star until April 28 and an evening star after that date. Venus will be at superior con- Junction with the sun April 28. or on that date she will rise and set with the sun, being on the farther side of the sun from the earth or. In other words, the sun will be between us and the planet. Before that date she will be visible west of the sun and afterward east of him. In the course of her orbit about the sun she presents to us all the phases of the moonr as shown in the annexed figures. These phases may be observed very nicely by the aid of a small telescope or good field glass. is seen in the More As seen in the Eve. West of sun. East of sun.

G When brightest as an evening star, Jan. 7, 1910. H Just before inferior conjunction. Feb. 5, 1910. The greatest difference In the apparent size or diameter of the Venus in A and E as compared with D and H is because of the vastly greater distance she is from us at her superior conjunc- tion. When seen as a crescent, a D or H. ap- pearing as A or E. When she appears like D or H she will be only about 25.000.000 miles from us. and when like A or E she will be 160,000,000 miles distant, or about six times as far. Her ap- parent diameter actually 'Increases about sixfold under these changed conditions. At the beginning of the year Venus will be In the constellation Scorpio a few degrees north- east of the bright red star Antares. (See "Chart of the Heavens.") She is advancing or moving eastward past the stars and on Jan. 20 she will be close to and above the Milkmaid's Dipper In Sagittarius and on the 30th of January only 21' north of Uranus. On Feb. 19 and again on April 10 slii> will be in conjunction with Mercury, being at first conjunction 4 north of him In Capricornus and 22' south on the last conjunction. In March she passes through Aquarius and enters Pisces. During April she passes through Pisces and enters Aries, being just south of the bright stars In the head of ram when last visible before her con- junction with the sun on April 28. On April 9 she will be 1 north of Saturn. On May 12 she will be about 5 below (S) of the Pleiades or Seven Stars, and on May 22 she will be close to the Hyades and only 5 north of the brilliant Aldebaran and will present a beautiful sight in the evening skies. On June 1 she will be about midway between Capella and the stars of Orion's Belt. She enters Gemini June 10 and by the 25th will be flirting with Castor and Pollux, a few degrees below or south of them, toward the bril- liant Procyon. July 4 she enters Cancer and on the 10th is close to the cluster of dim stars called Praesepe. On July 26 she will be just be- low Regulus In the Sickle In Leo; Aug. 12 only 12' south of Jupiter. Sept. 10 she will be 20 north of Spica Virginis in Virgo, and on Oct. 18 she completes her orbit and again keeps company with red Antares in Scorpio, being only 3 north of that star. By the middle of Novem- ber she will again be close to and above the Milk- maid's Dipper in Sagittarius. On and near Nov. 24 a line from, the Great Cross extended south- ward through Aquila (Altair) will touch her nearly as far again south, passing through Uranus 2 33' N. of Venus at the greatest angular distance east (47) from the sun. On Dec. 10 she will be in Capricornus about 35 south of Job's Coffin and will end the year close to (10 south) the A In Aquarius. MARS NEAREST THE EARTH. MARS, the ruddy planet, will be brightest Sept. 18-25 as an evening star. He will be a morning star until May 13 and an evening star after that date. At this opposition in September Mars will t>e even nearer than In 1907. The planet Mars will attract the attention of the world this year more than in 1907 because of the fact that he will approach nearer to us than he was then or will be again in the following fifteen years. The reason for this will be under- stood by an Inspection of the annexed figure. When the points C (aphelion) In the earth's orbit and A (perihelion) in Mars' orbit come in line with the sun then the earth and Mars will be the nearest possible. A moderately close approach to these conditions occurs every fifteen and seven- teen years. This year on Sept. 18-25 these planets will occupy the positions In their respective orbits E and F. On July 3 the earth will be at C or farthest from the sun, and on Aug. 13 Mars will be at A or nearest to the sun. It Is apparent that there must be a point be- tween A and C where these bodies are in line with the sun. and where they will be nearest, and. as has been said, this occurs at E and F. when they will be nearer by about 33.000.000 miles than when these conditions are reversed in 1916. The photographs of Mars that were taken In July, 1907. have not been fully developed at this FACTS ABOUT THE SUN AND PLANETS'. 1!:! writing and therefore the full results are not known. But enough has been seen to quite con- firm the belief that the so-called "canals" are such in fact, and therefore the work of intelli- gent beings. That they are the main arteries of a vast irrigation system seems probable. By these canals the water from the melting ice and snow masses is conveyed from cither pole, alternately, to the equatorial parts of the planet. At the beginning of the year Mars will be in Libra, about 10 north of the red star Antares in Scorpio. (See chart.) By the 6th of March he will have worked eastward to a point just above the Milkmaid's Dipper in Sagittarius and in the Milky Way. He enters Capricornus April 23 and on Juno 1 will be 10 south of the A in Aquarius. He enters Pisces July 17. On Aug. 23 he becomes stationary with respect to the stars and then begins to retrograde or move westward past the stars, going over nearly the same track until Oct. 26, when he again becomes stationary In Aquarius, and then advances eastward again the remainder of the year.

It will be visible to the naked eye in October, about midway between the Pleiades and Hyadea on the west and Castor and Pollux in Gemini on the east, or about 7 to the right or west of the bright star Albena in Gemini. (See "Chart of the Heavens.") Its period is about 75 years nnd it has been observed at these intervals since the fifteenth century. Records show its p_robabl<> rp- turn many centuries earlier. It last visited us in 1835, when its tail was about 20 long and its nucleus like the read star Antares. CALENDAR FOR 1910. JAN... s 31 I w T F 8 APRIL MAY... JUNE... s JI T w T F S 2 '.'

TIME AND STANDARDS OF TIME. Various kinds of time are in use in this coun- 1.' Astronomical Time or Mean Solar Time- Tins is reckoned from noon through the twenty- four hours of the day and is used mainly by astronomical observatories and in official astronom- ical publications. It is the - legal time of the Dominion of Canada, though "standard" and "mean" time are in general use there as in this country. 2. Mean Local Time This is the kind that was in almost universal use prior to the introduction of standard time. This time is based upon the time when the mean sun* crosses the meridian and the day begins at midnight. When divided into civil divisions years, months, weeks, days, etc. it is sometimes called civil time. 3. Standard Time For the convenience of the railroads and business in general a standard of time was established by mutual agreement in 1883 and by this calculation trains are now run and local time is regulated. By this system the United States, extending from 65 to 125 west longitude, is divided into four time sections, each of 15 of longitude, exactly equivalent to one hour (7^4 or 30m. on each side of a meridian), commencing with the 75th meridian. The first or eastern section includes all territory between the Atlantic coast and an irregular line drawn from Buffalo to Charleston, S. C., the latter city STANDARDS The following is the table of times, based upon Canada: being its southernmost point. The second or cen- tral section includes all the territory between this eastern line and another irregular line ex- tending from Bismarck, N. D., to the mouth of the Rio Grande. The third or mountain section includes all the territory between the last-named line and nearly the western borders of Idaho, Nevada and Arizona. The fourth or Pacific sec- tion includes all the territory of the United States between the boundary of the mountain section and the Pacific coast. Inside of each of these sections standard time is uniform and the time of each section differs from that next to it by exactly one hour, as shown on the map. Owing to the eccentricity of the earth's orbit and the inclination of the equator to the ecliptic, the apparent motion of the sun is retarded or accelerated according to the earth's place in its orbit. Hence, to take the actual sun as a guide would necessitate years, days and their subdi- visions of unequal length. Therefore an imag- inary or "mean sun" was invented. The differ- ence between apparent and mean time is called the "equation of time" and may amount to a quarter of an hour in twenty-four hours. It is the difference between the figures in "Sun at noon mark" column in calendar and twelve hours. The figures on a correct sun dial give the ap- parent time.

It is obvious that to express the time of rising and setting of the sun and moon in standard time would limit the usefulness of such data to the single point or place for which it was computed, while In mean time it is practically correct for places as widely separated as the width of the continent (see note at bottom of February cal- endar), and persons having obtained the mean time by the rising or setting of the sun or moon may easily ascertain the correct standard time of any event by making use of the following ta- ble and map: STANDARD TIME TABLE.

The sun's rising and setting are for the upper limb, corrected for parallax and refraction. In the case of the moon no correction is needed, as in the sun, for "par- allax and refraction"; with her they are of an opposite nature and just balance each other. The figures given, therefore, are for the moon's cen- ter on a true horizon such as the ocean affords. The calculations in each of the geographical divisions of each calendar page will apply witn sufficient accuracy to all places in the contiguous North American zones indicated by the headings of the divisions. The heavy dotted lines show the arbitrary (stand- ard) divisions of time in the United States. The plus and minus marks on either side of the me- ridian lines show whether it is necessary to add to or subtract from the mean time of points ea'st or west of these lines to arrive at actual standard time. Example: Chicago is 2'/> east of the 90th meridian, therefore Chicago local time 2\i 2 x * = 10 to be subtracted from mean time to = stand- ard time, and for Boston standard (eastern) time. 16m. must be subtracted from mean time.

THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION AT WASHINGTON. The Smithsonian institution was established by statute in 1846, under the terms of the will of James Smitlison. who bequeathed his fortune in 1826 to the Tinted States for the "increase and diffu- sion of knowledge among men." From the Income <>f the fund a building, known as the Smithsonian building, was erected in Washington. D. C.. on land civen by the t'nited States. The Institution is legally an establishment having as its members the president and vice-president of the United States, the chief justice and the president's cabi- net. It is governed by a board of regents consist- ing of the vice-president. Jlie chief justice, three members of the United States senate, three mem- bers of the house of representatives and six citi- zens appointed' by joint resolution of emigres*. It is under the Immediate direction of the secretary of the Smithsonian institution, who is the execu- tive oflieer of the board and the director of the in- stitution's activities. The institution aids investiga- tors by making grants for research and exploration, providing for lectures, initiating scientific projects and publishing scientific papers. It has adminis trative charge of the national museum, the national gallery of art. the international exchange service, the national zoological park, the astrophysical ob- servatory and the regional bureau for the interna- tional catalogue of scientific literature. The secre- tary of the institution is Charles D. Walcott. LEGAL HOLIDAYS. 2!) LEGAL HOLIDAYS.

Under a new law which went into effect Feb. 8, 1908. all industiial and commercial concerns throughout Italy must grant their employes a weekly rest of not less than twenty-four consecu- tive hours. It does not apply to public utilities, transportation lines or places of amusement. The general sense of the law is that Sunday shall be the rest day, but it Is provided that freedom from work may be given on a day other than Sunday in the case of restaurants, photograph galleries, pharmacists, undertakers, barbers, newspaper of- fices, bars, billiard rooms, theaters, cheese manu- factories and industries of public necessity in general. THE HOMESTEAD LAW. Any person who Is the head of a family, or who is 21 years old and is a citizen of the United States or has filed his declaration of intention to become such, and who is not the proprietor of more than 160 acres of land in any state or territory, is entitled to enter one-quarter section (160 acres) or less quantity of unappropriated public land under the homestead laws. The applicant must make af- fidavit that he is entitled to the privileges of the homestead act and that the entry is made for his exclusive use and for actual settlement and culti- vation, and must pay the legal fee and that.part of the commission required, as follows: Fee for 160 acres. $10: commission, $4 to $12. Fee for eighty acres, $5: commission, $2 to $6. Within six months from the date of entry the settler must take up his residence upon the land and cultivate the same for five years continuously. At the ex- piration of this period, or within two years there- after, proof of residence and cultivation must he established by four witnesses. The proof of settle- ment, with the certificate of the register of the land office, is forwarded to the general land office at Washington, from which a patent is issued. Final proof cannot be made until the expiration of five years from date of entry, and must be made within seven years. The government recognizes no sale of a homestead claim. After the expira- tion of fourteen months from date of entry the law allows the homesteader to secure title to th.> tract, if so desired, by paying for it in cash and making proof of settlement, residence and cultiva- tion for that period. The law allows only one homestead privilege to any one person. WEIGHTS OF DIAMONDS AND FINENESS OF GOLD. The weight of diamonds and other precious stones IB expressed in carats, grains and quarter- giains. The grains are pearl grains, one of which la equal to four-fifths of a troy grain. Four quar- ter-grains make one grain and four grains make one carat. A carat Is therefore equal to four- fifths of four troy grains, or 3.2. The fineness of gold is also expressed In carats. Pure gold is said to be twenty-four carats fine. If it contains eight parts of a baser metal or alloy it Is only sixteen carats fine. The carats therefore indicate the proportion of pure gold to alloy. Most of the gold used by jewelers is about fourteen carats fine, having ten parts of alloy. DECLARATION OK INDEPENDENCE. DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. The unanimous declaration of the thirteen United States of America, in congress, July 1, 177G. When, In the course of human events, it be- comes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle tbem. a decent respect to the opinions of man- kind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident : That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, gov- ernments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing Invariably the same object, evinces a de- sign to reduce them under absolute despotism, it Is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such fovernment. and to provide new guards for thelc uture security. Such has been the patient suffer- In^ of these colonies, and such is now the neces- sity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the pres- ent king of Great Britain is a history of re- peated injuries and usurpations, all having In di- rect object the establishment of an absolute tyr- anny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of Immediate and pressing importance, unless sus- pended in their operation till his assent should be obtained, wild, when so suspended, he has. ut- terly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the ac- commodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of repre- sentation in the legislature a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies, at places unusual, uncomfortable and distant from the repository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them Into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved representative houses repeat- edly for opposing with manly firmness his inva- sions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a Ions time after such dis- solutions to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their ex- ercise; the state remaining, in the meantime, ex- posed to all the dangers of invasion from without and convulsions within. Ho has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the l.iws for naturalization of foreigners: refusing to pass others, to encourage their migration hither, and raisins the conditions of new appropriations of lands. He has obstructed the administration of justice ishing by refusing his assent to laws for establl judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our peo- ple and eat out their substance. He has kept among us. in times of peace, stand Ing armies without the consent of our legisla- tures. He has affected to render the military Inde- pendent of and superior to the civil power. He has combined with others to subject ua to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitutions and un- acknowledged by our laws, giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us; For protecting them by a mock trial from pun- ishment for any murders which they should com- mit on the inhabitants of these states; For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world ; For Imposing taxes on us without our consent; For depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury; For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses; For abolishing the free system of English laws In a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its bound- aries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for Introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies; For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws and altering fundamentally the forms of pur governments; For suspending our own legislatures and de- claring themselves invested with power to legis- late for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at tills time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the work of death, desolation and tyranny already begun, with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages and to- tally unworthy the head of a civilized nation. He has constrained cur fellow citizens taken captive upon the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren or to fall themselves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrection amongst us and has endeavored to bring on the inhabit- ants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistin- guished destruction of all ages, sexes and con- ditions. In every stage of these oppressions we have pe- titioned for redress, in the most humble terms; our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. \ prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. The.v. too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity which de- nounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war; in peace, friends. We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in general congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do. in the name and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that 32 CHICAGO DAILY' NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1909. all political connection between them and the New Jersey: Charles Carroll of Car state of Great Britain is, and ought to be. totally Rlcnard Stockton. rollton. dissolved; and that as free and independent John Witherspoon.

The "Monroe doctrine" was enunciated by Presi- dent Monroe in his message to congress Dec. 2. 1823. Referring to steps taken to arrange the respective rights of Russia. Great Britain and the United States on the northwest coast of this con- tinent, the president went on to say: "In the discussions to which this" interest has given rise, and in the arrangements by which they may terminate, the occasion has been deemed proper for asserting, as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are In- volved, that the American continents, by the free and Independent condition which tiiey have as- sumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be con- sidered as subjects for future colonization by any European power. * * * \Ve owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or dependen- cies of any European power we have not inter- fered nnd shall not interfere. But with the gov- ernments who have declared their independence nnd maintain it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just principles, ac- knowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them or controlling in any other manner their destiny by any Euro- pean power in any other light than as the mani- festation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States." THE DRAGO DOCTRINE. When in the winter of 1902-03 Germany, Britain and Italy blockaded the ports of Venezuela in at- tempt to make the latter country settle up its debts Dr. L. F. Drago, a noted jurist of Argen- tina, maintained that force cannot be used by one power to collect money owing to its citizens by another power. Prominence was given to the con- tention by the fact that it was officially upheld by Argentina and favored by other South Amer- ican republics. The principle embodied has be- come generally known as the "Drago doctrine." IDES AND NONES. The ides fall on the 16th of March. May.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. (Fourteenth amendment to the constitution.) All persons born In the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are declared to be citizens of the United States. (Sec. 1992. U. S. Revised Statutes.) All children heretofore born or hereafter born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, whose fathers were or may be at the time of their birth, citizens thereof, are declared to be citizens of the United States: but the rights of citizenship shall not descend to children whose fathers never resided In the United States. (Sec. 1993, U. S. Revised Statutes.) Any woman who Is now or may hereafter be married to a citizen of the United States and who might herself be lawfully naturalized shall be deemed a citizen. (Sec. 1995. U. S. Revised Stat- utes.) Children born In the United States of alien par- ents are citizens of the United States. When any alien who has formally declared his intention of becoming a citizen of the United States dies before he is actually naturalized the widow and children of such alien are citizens. Children of Chinese parents who are themselves aliens and incapable of becoming naturalized are citizens of the United States. Children born In the United States of persons engaged in the diplomatic service of foreign gov- ernments are not citizens of the United States. Children born of alien parents on a vessel of a foreign country while within the waters of the United States are not citizens of the United States, but of the country to which the vessel be- longs. Children born of alien parents in the United States have the right to make an election of na- tionality when they reach their majority. Minors and children are citizens within th% meaning of the term as used in the constitution. Deserters from the military or naval service of the United States are liable to loss of citizenship. Any alien being a free white nerson, an alien of African nativity or of African descent may become an American citizen by complying with the nat- uralization laws. "Hereafter no state court or court of the United States shall admit Chinese to citizenship; and all laws In conflict with this act are repealed." (Sec. 14, act of May 6, 1882.) CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOU 1909. The courts have held that neither Chinese, Jap- anese, Hawaiiaus, Burmeje nor Indians can be nat- uralized. The naturalization laws apply to women as well as men. An alien woman who marries a citizen, native or naturalized, becomes a naturalized citi- zen of the United States. Aliens may become citizens. of the United States by treaties with foreign powers, by conquest or by special acts of congress. In an act approved March 2, 1907, it is provid- ed that any American citizen shall have expatria- ted himself when he has been naturalized in any foreign state in conformity with its laws, or when he has taken an oath of allegiance to any- foreign state. When any naturalized citizen shall have resided for two years in the foreign state from which he came, or five years in any other foreign state, it shall be presumed that he has ceased to be an American citizen, and the place of his general abode shall be deemed his place of residence dur- ing said years; provided, however, that such pre- sumption may be overcome on the presentation of satisfactory evidence to a diplomatic or consular officer of the United States, under such rules and regulations as the department of state may pre- scribe; and, provided also, that no American citi- zen shall be allowed to expatriate himself when this country is at war. Any American woman who marries a foreigner shall take the nationality of her husband. At the termination of the marital relation she may re- sume her American citizenship, if abroad, by reg- istering as an American citizen within one year with a consul of the United States, or by return- ing to reside in the United States, or, if residing in the United States at the termination of the marital relation, by continuing to reside therein. Any foreign woman who acquires American citi- zenship by marriage to an American citizen shall be assumed to retain tho same after the termina- tion of the marital relation if she continue to re- side in the United States, unless she makes form- al renunciation thereof before a court having ju- risdiction to naturalize aliens, or, if she resides abroad, she may retain, her citizenship by register- ing as such before a United States consul within one year after the termination of such marital re- lation. A child born without the United States, of alien parents, shall be deemed a citizen of the United States by virtue of the naturalization of or re- sumption of American citizenship of the parent; provided that such naturalization or resumption takes place during the minority of such child; and, provided further, that the citizenship of such mi- nor child shall begin at the time such minor child begins to reside permanently in the United States. All children born outside the limits of the United States, who are citizens thereof in accord- ance with the provisions of section 1993 of the Re- vised Statutes of the United States (see above), and who continue to reside outside of the United States, shall, in order to receive the protection of the government, be required, upon reaching the age of 18 years, to record at an American con- sulate their intention to become residents and re- main citizens of the United States and shall fur- ther be required to take the oath of allegiance to the United States upon attaining their majority. NATURALIZATION LAWS. Approved June 29, 1906. Exclusive jurisdiction to naturalize aliens resi- dent in their districts is conferred upon the United States Circuit and District courts and all courts of record having a seal, a clerk and jurisdiction in actions in law or equity or both in which the amount in controversy is unlimited. An alien may be admitted to citizenship in the following manner and not otherwise: 1. He shall declare on oath before the clerk of the proper court at least two years before his ad- mission, and after he has reached the age of 18 years, that it is bona fide his intention to become a citizen of the United States and to renounce allegiance to any foreign state or sovereignty.

What Is known as the median point is the point of inter- section of the line dividing the population equally north and south with the line dividing it eauallv east and west. The center of population in 1900 was at a point six miles southeast of Columbus. Ind., or north latitude 39 degrees and 9.5 minutes and west longitude 85 degrees 48.9 minutes. The AND ITS MEDIAN POINT. median point in 1900 was at Spartanburg, Ind.. or latitude 40 degrees 4 minutes and 22 seconds and longitude 84 degrees 51 minutes and 29 seconds. The center of area of the United States, ex- cluding Alaska and Hawaii and other recent acces- sions. Is in northern Kansas, in approximate lat- itude 39 degrees 55 minutes and approximate lon- gitude 98 degrees 50 minutes.

This is at the rate of 87,671 per day, 3,653 per hour, 61 per minute and 1 per second. As the population of the world increases by about 7,000,000 per year, the total births must be that number In excess of the deaths, or about 39,000,000. BY DIVISIONS OF TIME. This is at the rate of 106,849 births per day, 4,452 per hour, 74 per minute and 1.2 per second. Assuming that the population of the United States is 87.000.000 and the death rate 16 per 1,000, the total number of deaths in a year Is 1.392.000. This is at the rate of 3.814 per day, 159 per hour and 2.6 per minute. With a birth rate of 34 per 1. 000. the total number of births in a year in the United States will approximate 2.958.000. or at the rate of 8.104 per day, 338 per hour and 5.6 per min- ute.
