MAN AND SUPER-MAN. Mr. John Burns who leaves the Local Government Board for the Board of Trade, has often been twitted with the fact that he once said that no man was worth more than £500 a year. But Mr. Burns, eays the Daily Sketch, has discovered an effective answer to his critics. Not long ago & man reminded him of this rather embarrassing dictum. Yes replied Burns, and I still think so, Only, mind you. I said man -hòr super-man,'". |

The aggregate of the population of the Empire is over 410 milions.

The proportion of females to males in the various parts of the Empire ranged from the doubtful 1,698 per 1,000 in Southern Nigeria to 362 per 1,000 in the Falkland Islands, but this latter figurë was due to exceptional circumstances.

In the white doamnions there were relatively fewer husbands in Australasia and South Africa than in Great Britain, and fewer widowed but more wives. The women of South Africa, too, marry earlier. Siam, with 700 males married per 1000, was only one point below India, and there was a great gap between Siam and Trinidad, where the married males only numbered 200 per 1,000.
