DENSITY OF POPULATION 



The population of the eartli is estimated at 1,600000000 of 

 whom one-fourth are within the British Empire, the Chinese Empire 

 contammg nearly another fourth of the human race. In 1800 the 

 earth s population was 640,000,000, while in 1850 it had increased to 

 1,075,000,000. The above map of the World shows how the popula- 

 tion IS spread over the earth. In Europe, along the banks of the 

 Ganges, m China and in Eastern United States, the people are 

 closely packed together, while the desert portions of the earth are 

 clearly shown by the dearth of population. Ethnologists generally 

 group the world's inhabitants into three great divisions :— the Cauca- 

 sian or white race, the Mongohan or yellow race, and the Negro or 

 black race. Formerly, two more divisions were usually given— 

 the Malay or brown race, and the American Red Indian or red 

 race. This classification, however, conveys no clear idea of the

numerous varieties of mankind, and the diagram below is therefore 

 adoed to give a comparative summary of the chief races possessing 

 distmctive characteristics of their own. In addition to the types 

 shown, there are 64,788,000 Dravidians, 10,971,000 Hamites 

 1,702,000 Australians and Polynesians, and 420,000 Hottentots The 

 diagram showing the proportion of the white and coloured races in the 

 principal divisions of the British Empire has been introduced to show 

 the fundamental problems which statesmen have to face when dealing 

 with our over-sea possessions. It is frequently forgotten that Britisfi 

 South Africa is a black man's country. The ascendancy of the British 

 or Boer is of much less importance than the question of the ascend- 

 ancy of the white man. The handful of whites in India have done an 

 immense amount of good in their attempts to solve the great prob- 

 lems peculiar to that country.
