MANY FAcTs IN SMALL CoMpAss.-The
number of languages spoken is 1904. The
number of men is about equal to the number
of women. The average OF human life is
thlrty-three years. One quarter die before
the age of seven. To every one Thousand per.
sons one rarely reaches the age of one hum
dred years, and not more than one in five
hundred will reach the age of eighty. There
are on earth l 900, ,000, 900 Inhabitants. Of
these about 1888, 1873 d every year, 9l,-
S24 die every day, 7.7S9 every hour, and
sixty every minute. These losses are balan.
ced by an equal number of births. The mar
ried are longer lived than the single Tall
men live longer than short ones. Women
have more chances Of life previous to the age
of fifty years, but fewer after than men, The
nvmber of marriages is in proportion of
seventy to one hundred. Marriages are more
frequent after the equinoxeS, that is, during
the months Of June and December. Those
born in the Spring are more robust than the
others, Births and deaths are mere frequent
by night than By day.
