FRANCE'S POPULATION
Lenient divorce laws and the low rate of exchange have evidently proved- potent load*stones drawing large numbers of foreigners to take up residence on French soil. Census returns, just published, show that of the 40,----2,500,000 are foreigners. In the Depart-, 2,500,00 are foreigners. In tho department of the Seine, which takes in all of Paris, tho foreign proportion runs as: high as 10 per cent. Economists, worried over the influx, insist that immigration, should be limited, and the artificial condition of the monetary exchange corrected without delay. In the future, all applicants for naturalisation in the Department of the Seine will have to submit to a medical examination, according to a new regulation.
