JEWISH STATISTICS,
The following statistics are collected from a recent work by Pastor de le Roi, published at the Berlin Institutum Judaicum. The ap proximate number of Jewish inhabitants in Russia (apparently including the 1,300,000 Russian Polish Jews) is stated to be 41 millions. Then come Austria with 1,100,000 Jews, Hun- gray with 7oopoo, Germany with 560,000, Ruinania with 300,000, Great Britain (apparent- ly meant to include reland) with 150,000, European Turkey with 120,000, Holland (in 1890) with 98,000, France with 72,000, (besides the 49,000 Jewish inhabitants of Algiers), Italy with 50,000, Switzerland (in 1897) with 9,000, Denmark with, 40,000, Sweden with 1,000, Norway with soc. The present number of Jews in the United States of America Is 930,000, of whom 350,000 reside in New York Australia has about 11,000, and South America not more than 12,000, but Asiatic Turkey yields the high figure of 150,000. The gradual growth in the numbers of Jews in Great Britain and the United States of America is very instructive. At the beginning of the present century, there were only about 14,000 Jewish residents in this country, but in 1874 the numbers rose to 50,000, and the latter figure has been trebled in the course of the last 12 years. In the United States there were 1,000 Jews in 1812, 3,000 in 1818, 45,000 in 1840, 189,000 in 1877, 400,000 in 1888. Another $30,000 have been added within the last ten or ti years.. The growth of numbers in English-speaking countries of course runs, parallel with a diminution of Jews in what is known as the pale of settlement and other parts of Eastern Europe.
WEATHER PROGNOSTICATION IN ALL AGES,
Weather prognostication, says a writer in the Times, has been in all ages, among every class of society, a fascinating though speculative ex: ercise-fascinating, perhaps, in proportion to its uncertainty. For many it has been a necessity of daily life. Hunters, shepherds, sailors, and tillers of the earth have been obliged, in con- nexion with their cullings, to study the teach- ings of winds, waves, clouds, and other objects of animate and inanimate naure, from which signs of impeding changes in the weather might be gathered. The most weatherwise among savage or primitive people would prosper best, and oiliers would imitate their foresight by stu dy of the same phenomena; and thus there has been gradually framed astore of rough and realy maxims, embodying the observations of ex- perience in the form of proverbs or rhymes or local traditions, not all-perhaps very few of them-scientific, but many of them more or less accurate. One of the most familiar of theśc relates to St. Swithun's day. It embodies, as we have already noted, a general probability that a break-up of the weather about this time will last for some weeks. perhaps till St. Bartholomew's day, August 24; when, accord- ing to another saying, All the tears that St. Swithun can cry, St. Bartlemy's dusty manike a wider induction, are observations derived wipes dry" More reliable, because based on from the ways of animals. Every naturalist, herdsman, or shepherd is familiar with the fact that animals seem to be endowed with much keener perception than we
are of coming changes in the weather. Virgil Artus, Theophrastus and ether ancient writers note instances of this. It is said that Sir Isaac Newton, having been told by a countryman one fine morning that he would be overtaken by a shower, rode back when the rain camo on to ascertain the foundation of the prediction. "All I know is, said the man, "that when my cow twirls her tail in a particular way rain will Lucan makes Cesar's pilot discourage Come." hum from crossing the Adriatic to Brundisium by unfavourable signs of sun and moon, dolphins, cormorants, herons, and crows; while Virgil in his Georgics tells us that bursts unforeseen by cows, canes, swallows, no. storm frogs, ants, rooks, or waterfowl The great Dumber of sayings with regard to the in- dication of weather by birds may possibly go back to the Roman augaral system, when divining by the flight and behavi our of birds was a religious cult. But in all ages close observers of the ways of birds and beasts have been able to formulate maxims of weather-lore for themselves; and there is still probably much to be learnt in this department of meteorology."
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1899.
of which St. Swithun's Day reminds us, still hold their own. They rest on much shrewd while they are gradually superseded, and some- and practical, if unscientific, observation; and times discredited, by newer lights, their general accuracy is not unfrequently confirmed.
THE VALUE OF ATHLETICS.
Athletics are in the air, says the Daily Telegraph. Contests of all sorts and kinds for the manly prizes of the meadow, the river, the moor, and the meing path fiff the journals and cugage general attention. One might say, as in The Tempest," "the isle is full of noises, sounds and sweet airs which give delight and hurt not" for all this clantour of the cricket- field, the river side, the tile range, the cinder- path, and ather scenes of summer playtime rings with generous and kindly rivalry--our British sports being for the most part innocent and healthy. Surely Britannia, if she be not too much absorbed just now in watching her superb hope fleet gathering for the naval manoeuvres, most glance with an eye of pride at the spectacles of energy and hearty spirit which her youthful children are now everywhere affording. Turn where she will, here are her young barbarians all at play." In this ubiqui- tous struggle for the honours of the athletic life the Universities and, great Public Schools take an acknowledged lead. We have beheld their flying eights and fours and pairs cleaving the rippled Thames at fenley in a lane of lovely scenery and brilliant fashion. We find them at Bisley-the collegiate and school-cars-shouting like veritable "sons of Benjanin," and swelling the chorus of jubila tion over the victory of England for the Elcho Shieki. And if all this were not sufficient to furnish perpetual pastime to the lads and their elders, and summer pleasures to the people, there are the inatches coming forward between Oxford and Cambridge on the one hand nnd Yale and Harvard on the other, which will have a fascination for countless thousands on both, shores of the Atlantic. What, indeed, are Transvaal diplomacies, or the price of money, or bimetallisin, or the Church question, in the minds of millions, to the engrossing problem whether or not England will beat the terrible Australian bowlers at Old Trafford, and so make a deciding match at Kennington Oval on the 4th of August next? It's sumpfer-time, and all the Realm is practically at play-a strange, a serious, and an universal cult of muscle and bodily skill, of which history has never seen the like since the ancient Greeks held their games, and for a "crown of wild olive," warlike States went beside themselves with glory, and cities built splendid monuments to the youth of the fleetest lout or mightiest
arm.
Ask the doctors, the insurance offices, the they will all tell you how lawn tennis and the recruiting sergeants, the tailors, the milliners. bicycles, with cricket, football, and the like, have within the past twenty-five years streng thened frames, lengthened life, expanded chests, straightened bent backs, and made a new race of even townspeople. What bright, features, lovely and radiant with health, what hearty faces, what figures well set-up, what handsome boys and beautiful girls and women have emerged from this play-mad period: Can anybody doubt that it is to such spontaneous training on the part of our growing population that we owe that omnipresent spirit of readi abroad and at home, that self-confidence, that uess and fitness which the Englishman exhibits habit of resourcefulness and command? Nor can it be otherwise than a must happy circum stance that the craze-if it be a craze-has spread to the girls, to those who will be the wives and mothers of the next generation for if they cannot be alderwomen, they visibly the lung and muscles. take a share in the new emancipation of decry the passion for bodily excellence. Would those who wish to see Englishwomen todling about on ladies? Would they exchange the English cramped feet like the unfortunate Chinese public school or the English University, with pre-eminence, for the pale French collégien or their, perhaps exaggerated, worship of athletic the sickly school-boys of the Lycée?
