Numerical Laws Of the Sexes.


The last census develops some curious
facts. 1t fixes numerical laws of the sexes
thus:
l. There are more males than females
born by about per cent less
2. At 20 wears Of age this preponder-
a,ce is entirely lost and there are more
females than males. f.zz==zz5
8. II 40 years the balance is again the
other way, and there are more males than
females. -
4. At 10 the sexes are about even. and
the ultimate age of the human being i;
reached without aay decided advantage to
either sex.
Between go and 100 years Of age, there
are ID 81 more white wonien than there
are males, being more than five per cen,
OF the whole number. Beyond the age
OF 40 years, the probabilities of longevity
ale much greater fol American Women
Than for men. This contrasts singnlaily
with the fact, that the p hysiquc (relative-
iy) OF American women is inferior to that
OF American men. That fact, as is shown,
however, tells tremendously on women
between the ages OF 20 and 40, hen their
mortality is very great.
The longevity of some women is very
extraordinary. There are four hundred
and thlHy American women above one
hundred years Of age.
