The mean general duration of human
life is between 35 and AZ years. The
natural limit Of human life is from so 10
so. Of all ew-born infants out of a
dies the first year; two.fiflhs scarcely attain
their 5th year; and before their a2d wear
one-half of the generation are consigned
to The grave. The proportion of births 10
marriages, on an average, and in a country
OF some extent, can scarcely be more than
5, or less than 3, to one marriage. The
ordinary proportion in the most civilized
countries of the world is births TO one
marriage. The proportion of births to
deaths is, one year with another from 1Ol
TO $50 for every 100. Taking the total
number of the human race at 700, 100000,
the ratio of the deaths to the living popula-
iion as to SO, and that of the births to the
living as 10 1884, we shall have for the

Births 2a,72e,sls 65,olo 2,7os As

Whence it follows that the sum total of tn
human race would IN one year be augment-
ed by an accession of9 ,5l6, ,692 individuals,
we're it not for wars and pesliences. This
augmentation would in one hundred years
create apopulation of 3,916, 100000. The
number of males in given number Of
births exceeds that of females in the ratio
of l6 TO Is; but the mortality is greater
among male children in the ratio of 27

Electrical Phenomenon.

An account of human electricity was
given in number of SiIliman's Journal
some time ago, which might, if carried out,
lead to some important conclusions in res
pect to human phenomena heretofore uGex.
planned. The subject became so electric
that sparks were drawn from and even
spontaneously issued from the ends of her
fingers. During this time an intense auro-
ra borealis showed itself. These pheno-
mena continued for several months, the
sparks being readily given out whenever
the lady approached any conductor of
electricity. She could touch nothing me-
tallic, without emitting an electrical spark ,
which was an annoying circumstance TO
her. These appearances were proportion
ably heightened when the air was VAIN
and the lady was in good spirits. During
cold weather, and when she was in MEL
ancholly mood, these phenomena were sus-
pended. When sitting at stove with her
feet upon the metal edge, the sparks were
drawn out at intervals of few seconds
from three to six sparks per minute. The
lady wes about thirty years of age, of sed.
en'ary habits, and rather sckly. She had
suffered from rheumatic and neuralgia af
iections about two yeais prior 10 this lime

Violating the Treaty.

Among the appellants for justice at the
Recorders office yesterday, was Damon
Dunfeld, an old Ethiopian, whose woodsaw
was hung on his shoulder, like the guitar
of troubadour, ere the days of chivalry
had gone by. Damon looked about as wise
as an owl in daylight; he appears to have
borrowed for the occasion, the dlapidated
hat of jacques Strop, and the remainder
of his wardrobe seemed to match. His
hair was grizzly grey, and bis face wrink-
led and puckery, like POSITIONS boot.
