81, Much concern is felt in North Ger
many with respect to the steady increase
in the number of parricides, and most OF
them are attributed to the custom which
prevails in the country districts among
the peasants of making, over to theiI
children, as soon as. the latter are grown
up. their property, reserving for them
selves only the right of food. and lodg-
ing TO the end Of their days. This is
what is, popularity called the dltsntheii

dren soon get tired of having to support
their parents, and in some cases either
starve them TO death or, actually murder
them. Crimes of this description are so
much on the increaseithat several of the
District Governors haye issuedheirculars
urging the peasants not to make oyer,
their little properties in, this way. But
that the practice and its Consequences
are not altogether OF modern date may
be gathered from the fact that over the

The Earth Struck by a Comet.

This occurred some thirty thousand
years ago, If we are TO believe Mr.. Igna-
thus Donnelly, who has written book
toprOve that the earth must have passed
through the tail of a comet, not only
once, but many times, and he claims
there Is abundant evidences on the sur
face of our globe to prove that this
catastrophe really occurred. The great
deposits of unstratified clay which are
found in so many quarters, especially
in the northern hemisphere, the author
we are quoting believes came from sub
stances in the tail of the comet through
which the earth passed. Nearly every
one is familiar with the erosions found
on tops of hills and mountains, running
uniformly from the northeast to the
southwest. This has been attributed to
aglacial period, when the larger portion
OF the earth was covered with water. and
great icebergs, carrying rocks and stones
in their bottoms, swept over the highest
hills, making the marks now visible on
so many mountain and hill tops. Mr..
Donnelly does not deny that ice was
formed in great quantities after the earth
was struck by the tail of the comet. but
he claims that the cosmic matter of which
the tail was composed embraced clay
dust as well as stones, powders and even
rocks. When the earth passed through
the comets tail, like bullet through a
board, intense heat would be generated;
seas. rivers and even oceans would be
vaporized. Some portions of the
earth would become foods of molten
fire, and finally the sudden refrig-
of ice in the polar regions, which
It would take thousands Of years to

sOlar system. Humboldt in his time,
supposed there might be liz. 5000 900 of
shem, and still later astronomers put
She number at 500.000.000, without
counting those which reach us from
other solar systems. The surprising
shing is that the earth is not Oftener
struck BY comets than it's .Halley's
comet was $50. 600, 600 miles in length,

closely that il would have increased the
sideral year by three hours. If its mass
had been equal to that of the earth. 1t
finally became entangled in the moons
of Jupiter, and lost great portion of its
tail. MIR. Donnelly suspects that some
such catastrophe must have happened to
that planet and its satellites, as that
from which the earth suffered previous
Co the so-called glacial era. All this is
very interesting and ingenious, but

A remarkable outbreak of enteric fever
occurred in Evesham, England, last
summer. Fiftv-one households were
invaded with sixty-eight cases, forty-siS
of the patients falling ill during the fort
night ending August 8. The houses in
which the patients lived were in many
instances several miles apart, their sani-
tary circumstances varied widely, sew
ers and water supply were entirely diff
ferent, and the milk supply was derive d
from several independent sources.
Under these conditions it was no easy
matter for the health officer to discover
the source of the epidemic. 1t was
elected however, that all the patients
attacked before August 8, had attended
Evesham regatta, and that they had all
been present in one particular meadow.
Further investigation developed the fact
that thirty-two of the forty-six had GER
tainly, and eleven had probably. par.
taken of refreshments &C certain stall.
The other three were in doubt. In one
instance two of party of three drank
lemonade, while the third took nothing;
the two had the fever, the other escaped
The water used IN the refreshment stalls
had been drawn from wei near the
meadow, the water OF which was found
to be so contaminated that it was at once
closed sthe belief Of the health officer be-
ing that this polluted well had been the
immediate source of the epedemic. =
Two very obvious inferences may be
drawn from this occurrence. One is the
propriety of carrying refreshments from
home when going on a days pleasure
see king; the other, the necessity of more
critical supervision OF the water supple:
OF pleasure resorts. This should cover
not Oply the water used for drinking OIL
in the preparation Of beverages, but also
that used in making ice cream and
water ices. and in washing drinking
vessels and the like. The ice used for
beverages is further source of peril
since the ponds from which it is ept are
las the Newport inquiry demonstrated
too frequently foul. if not infected.
The theory that water in freezing clears
itself of noxious germs has been shown
by careful trial to be untrue. Contain
mated water yields impure ice, no mat
ter how slowly the freezing is accom-
plished. = Sciepfifc american. cE

The Decay or France.

The average birth-rate per annum in
France for the period between 1872 and
1880 has been calculated to be one birth
for 81 inhabitants, which is by far the
lowest birth-rate in Europe. For the
different countries the birth-rate is as
follows: Russia, one birth for 20 in
habitants; Germany, one birth for 25;
Austria-Hungary, one birth for 20; En-
gland, one birth for %; Italy. one birth
for 81; Spain, one birth for %; France,
one birth for 81. If tile yearly number
of births for any thousand inhabitants be
calculated, we have precisely the same
result. We have, in France. 26 births
per 1000; Belgium, 81; England, 30;
Austria, SO; Prussia, 80; and Russia, 30.
Naturally it follows from this that the
average number of children to each mar
riage is inferior 10 what it is in other
countries, supposing all the children
born in each year to be legitimate.
There are five births for every marriage
in England and Germany, and only three
for France. Ordinary observation, with
out the aid of statistics, would have led
US to expect such result. We all know
that French people are in the habit of
speaking of family of five children,
the average number in England and
Cermany-as large family, while fam
lilies of from eight to ten children, COM
mon enough in former times, are now
almost unheard of except among the
poorer classes in the poor departments
oy France.
Before fifty years are over, France
will, at her present slow rate of increase
of population, have sunk, if not to the
level of a second rate, at least to the
bottom of the list of the great Powers.
If we suppose that the population of the
United States and the various countries
of Europe are decimated by no wars or
exceptional maladies and still preserve
their present frontiers and 90 on iucreas-
ing at the present rate of increase, their
population will by the year 1922 time
which our children will see-be as fol-
lows: United States, 10000, 900; Rus
STA, 158, 900, 900; Germany, $4,000. 600;
Great Britain. $4,000, 600, Austria-Hun-
gary. $4,000. 900; and Italy, $4,000, 900.
So that France, which a century ago
was really la grdnde mutton. having
stiIl the largest population in Europe,
will be but the sixth in rank in point of
numbers.
Will France, with her diminished
numerical Importance as great Power.
make up f1r her deficient numbers by
that public spirit and genius for enter
prise which has raised so many small
Powers to a level in point of influence
with the greatest? This. also, if we
consider the catses which led to the in
creasing sterility of the country, may
also be doubted. In fact. there are not
wanting now Frenchmen who look on
this decreasing population as but one
among many signs Of national degener-
acy. and are ready to exclaim hope
lessly, "Finis GdLli0 r'-LondonI Times.
