New York.—The new republic of Poland, now in its fifth year, lias a population of 27,160,163, and is tlie sixth nation in Europe, aeetfrding to official information compiled by the Polish bureau of information. “Its population is exceeded only by Russia, Germauy, Great Britain, France and Italy,” the statement says. “Poland has a population as large as Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland combined." Warsaw Has 941,000. Warsaw's population is given as 941,001; Lodz, 451,444; Lemberg, 219, JOO; Cracow, 181,000; Posen. 169,000; Yllna (estimated), 146,000. The republic has now been divided into 16 states or administrative units, ealled voyvodships. The city of War saw, however, as capital of the repub lic, Is distinct from any voyvodship. After struggling with various bound ary disputes on all sides, and emerg ing victorious from a war with Rus sia, Poland established her frontiers and then turned her attention to In ternal affairs. The first regular Polish parliament came Into being November 27, 1922, j succeeding the constituent assembly that had been organized as an emer gency governing body early In 1919. During Its life, the assembly enacted more than five hundred laws, including a constitution providing for a house of representaitves elected by universal suffrage, and a senate elected in the same manner. Economy was another far-reaching measure Instituted by the new repub lic. During 1922, a reduction of 25, OOO civilian employees was made In the various departments. Military affairs also were subjected to sweeping changes. A standing army of 25,000 was recommended, with compulsory military service of two years for all males reaching the age of twenty-one. Demonstrate* Its Stability. The republic demonstrated Its sta bility In December, 1922, following th* assassination of President Narutowlc*, the first chief executive, after he had been In office but two days. In the absence of precedent, the leaders turned to the constitution for guid ance. Four days after the assassina tion, an election was held and a new president took office in accordance with the expressed will of the people. Cfilmney* an Old Inrtitution. It is said chimneys were first in trodneed into Great Britain In 1200. their use being confined to the kitchen and large hall. They were in general use in domestic architecture In 1310. How far the Greeks arid Romans were acquainted with chimneys as we now know them is a matter of dispute. An ancient mosaic found In Algeria, rep resenting a Roman country bouse, shows chimney stucks projecting above the roof.
