vance OF civilization has prolonged life
In ancient Rome, in the period 200 to
900 years after the Christian era, the av.
erage duration Of life in the most favored
class was 30 years. Iu the present cen.
sury the average longevity of persons of
the same class is 80 years. In the SIX
teenth century the average longevity III
Geneva was 2l.21 years; between 1914
aud 1888 it was 40.6S, and as LARGE a
portion now live TO 10 as lived to As three
hundred years ago. 10 1893 The British
government borrowed money by selling
annu!ties on lives from infancy upward,
on the basis Of the average longevity.
The treasury received the price and paid
the annulties regularly as loug as the an
nuities lived. The contract was mutually
satisfactory and profitable. Ninety-seveu
years later. Mr.. Pitt issued another ton
tine or scale of aIDuities, on the basis of
the same expectation of life as in tine pre-
vlous century. These latter annuitans,
however, lived so much longer than their
predecessors, that it proved to be a very
costly loan for The government. Il was
found that while $1,000 of each sex in
the first toniine died under the age Of IS,
only 5772 males and 6,416 females IN the
second ,ontine died at the same age 100
years later. The average life of the au-
nuitants Of 1893 was 26.5 years. while
those of 1880 lived 80 years aud 0 months
after they were 80 years old. From these
facts, says DR.. Jarvis, 1t is plain that life,
