WORLD'S POPULATION HAS DOUBLED IN 100 YEARS.

A comparison of the best estimates of the world's population of 100 years ago with accepted statistics of today indicates that the population of the world has more than doubled in a single century, and that this increase has been shared in a considerable degree by countries which were even then looked upon as overpopulated. Conservative estimates of the population of the world for the first decade of the last century put the total at approximately 700,000,000, while the latest census records and official estimates show a grand total for the world of approximately 1,650,000,000 in 1914, an apparent increase of about 130 per cent in the last 100 years. In that period Europe shows an increase from 190,000,000 to 450,000,000, a gain of 137 per cent, while America as a whole shows an increase of 700 per cent, and the United States alone more than 1,000 per cent.
