A Curious Calculation.

Did you ever think, asks an exc
change, how many male and female
ancestors were required to bring you
into the world? First, it was neces-
sary that you should have father and
mother-that makes two human be-
ings. Each Of them must have had a
father and mother which makes four
human beings. Each OF these four
must have had a father and mother
that makes eight human beings. And
so we must go back for 40 generations
which brings us only to the time of
Jesus Christ. The calculation thus re-
suIting shows that 139, 245. OF, ass, 534, :
976 births must have taken place in
order to bring you into the world-you
who read these lines. But remember
we are only taking the case of your
self-One human being-and there are
/, 900, 600, 600 of human beings in the
world with the same history, and we
have only carried back the calculation
to the time of Christ. How mon
strous the calculation becomes if we
carry it back 5000 years! How
CHASTITY it becomes if we push it back
$50, OOO years, which De Mortillet and
others give as the age of the human
race! Just count three generations to
a century, or thirty to every 1000
years, and reckon up the history of
one Individual. Imagine the num-
Der of births necessary to bring into
existence one member of the 7,5OOth
generation.
