Tho writer took exception to this and said many countries wero moro densely populated popu-lated thun Egypt, notably Belgium. A bet was immedlatoly mado and my opponent op-ponent produced a book In which woro drawn squares representing tho density of population of different countries for example tho squaro representing Belgium wao blacked up to represent a density of 5 CG to squaro mile, while Egypt was blackened black-ened up to represent 015 to tho squuro mile. I do not think tho book wan reliable relia-ble and It must havo been an error. As far a3 I can recollect Belgium has an area of noarly 11.G00 square miles and a population of over six millions, whllo Egypt has a population of about nine and a half millions and area of -100.000 squaro miles and very many other countries aro much more densely populated than Egypt. Klndly acttlo this matlor for us in next Sunday's "Question and Answer" department depart-ment of Tho Trlbuno and oblige. E. W. Williams. Belgium has an area of 11.333 squaro miles (wo copy from tho Statesman's Year Book), and a population of G.C93.S10. in 10CO; tho density per square mile for tho wholo of Belgium Is 6SS. Tho cultivated area of Egypt Is 12.970 squaro miles, but tho whole area, of Egypt proper Is about 400.000 square miles; tho population by tho census of 1S37 fthe latest available) la 0,731.-105; so the density is either 750 to tho squaro mllo if you reckon tho cultivated area only, or 4& If you reckon tho wholoj area.

Utah, Nov. 1C Pleaso answer an-swer in Sunday's Tribune ln "Question and Answer" department tho following: Wero thcro ever any Presldonta of tho United States elected without the aid of the electoral votes of tho State of Now York? (2) If so, who and ln what year? A Subscriber. Yea; Now York did not vote at all In ITS?, when Washington was elcctod tho first time, and Washington was elected oven If New York had voted against him. In 1S12 James Madison wns elected President, Presi-dent, though New York voted for Do Witt Clinton, nnd at that election New York had 20 out of a total of 218 votes, or about one-sovonth of tho whole, whereas that Stato now has lesx than ono-twelfth of the wholo. In 1S5C James Buchanan was elected President, though New York votod for John C. Fremont. In 1S6S. Grant was elected President, but New York cost Its vote for Horatio Soymour. In 1S76, Now York voted for Samuel J. Tllden to bo President, but R B. Hayes was chosen. At many elections, notably tho four lost ones, tho vote of Now York could havo been spared by tho winning candidate without changing tho result. |
