WILL ANGLO-AMERICANS INHERIT THE EARTH?

If we take a map of the world, or better still, a globe, and trace the iso-thermal lines, we find the largest expanse of fine territory in tha temperate climate in North America, and consisting of the southern half of Canada. The second in size lies in China, the third in central Europe, the fourth in Australia, the fitih in the southern extremity of South America, and the sixth in South Africa. This comprises practically all of the world that is suitable for the habitation of an active and energetic pople, Of this territory more than one-half is in the undisputed possession of English speaking AngloAmericans. Of the other portions of the temperate zone, the only non-English speaking part yet open for considerable development is in South America, In the frigid and semi-frigid porsions Russia holds the largest section, while England holds the second in size. Within the tropics England controls in India and Egypt the richest and most populous portions. It will thus bo seen that, go where we will over the face of the eartb, the English-speaking people have, in geographical position, an incomparable advantage over any other people.—The Engineering Magazine,
