increase or Lunncy In s.rsat Britain.


From the report Of the commissioners In
lunacy for the past year 1t appears that the
nunber Or lunatics Is increasing Mt IL very
alarming extent. On the first 81 January last
the number OF persons registered as OF I'M
sound mind 10 Englani and Wales numbered
6o,S35 Of whom 777s were classsd MS private
citizens" and 60 1O8 rs ''pauper lunatic.."
Twenty years ago they numbered only 80, 7G2,
and ten years ago 1927. All examination,
too, OF the proporti N ~ lunatics to popula-
ton shows that In 1859 the ratio Of lllnatics
to 10000 Of the population was 1857. 1t Is
now II n, or an Increase OF 80 per cent. The
increase, however, Is much greater In the case
OF pauper lunatics than In that of private pa
tients, the increase OF the ratio In thc former
being % per cent, and In the latter only 23,6
per cent.
The only satisfactory point to be gathered
from the statistics Is that, although the ratio
OF pauper lunatics is steadily advancing year
by year, there has been no Inc ease In the
proportion Of private patients to the popula-
ton during the last four years. The insanity
Of no fewer than 21.3 per cent of the number
of men admitted to asylum5 during 1873 was
assigned to intemperance; while amosg
women the proportion Was only 10 per cent.
The insanity OF 1876 per cent OF the male pri-
vate patients admitted into asylums during
the last year was caused by mental anxiety,
worry and overwork.a Among paupers only
5 per cent of the cases We're traceable to this
cause. It appears that insanity Is somewhat

London, England, has no district telegraph
system. 1t is not so well equipped with tele-
phones as Detroit. 1t has no method by
which incoming train passengers can ex-
change checks and have their luggage sent TO
any part Of the city, as Is the case Ia all
American towns. Neither has London the ad-
mirabe coupe system for which Detroit Is
noted. In fact London offers a great many
inducements for people not to live there.
