A discovery which is expected 10 throw
some light on prehistoric times in Germany
has been made near Andernach, on the
Rhine. Remains Of prehistoric animals
have been found in a puuiiCe stone
pit, and Professor Schaatfnausen, Of
Bonn, has investigated tue spot closely.
A lava stream underlying the pumice
stone was laid bare, showing width OF
only two meters. The crevire between the
blocks OF lava were filed with pumice
stone to depth OF one.half to one meter;
below this, however, there was pure loan
and clay, and in this were found numerous
animal bones, apparently broken by man,
as well as many stone implements. 1t is
supposed that there was settlement there,
Of which the food remains fell into the
lava crevices before the whole was covered
with pumice stone.

Consumption was, us always, the great
scourge, and it carried of considerably
larger proportion Of females than OF males,
the deaths from that cause being 1868
males to 5O,932 females. 1t is very instruct.
i've to observe that the mortality from con-
sumption in the North Atlantic and Lake
regions was highest in the small towns and
agricultural districts, while on the Gull
Coast it was greatest in the city OF New
Orleans, with its wretched sewerage and
drainage system.
Enteric or typhoid.fever is also more es-
pecially a disease Of the country rather
than the city. Tho better drainage which
ordinarily prevails in the large towns
makes them less liable to that fever than
the smaller communities and scattered set.
tlements, where necessary precautions
against the pollution Of the water supply
are not generally taken, and accumulation
OF filth in vaults and cesspools are COM
mon. Malarial ievers likewise were more
prevalent and more fatal proporlionately
in the smaller communities than in the
great cities. The same was the case with
diphtheria.
The great city, says the New York Sun,
especially since the increase OF sanitary
knowledge, has many advantages over the
country with respect 10 health. 1t has a
crowded population, it is true, but its COM
paratively confined air may be less iniuri-
GUS to the inhabitants than that which
sweeps ovor IN open country, where it may
wait poison from swamps and marshes,
and where a scientific system OF sewerage
and drainage is hardly practicable.

Germs OF wEESLY:


According 10 the last census 75G, SOB per.
sons died in the United States during 1880.
The death.rate for the whole Union was
therefore l5.l to the thousand. That is a
low rate, and yet ii was much higher than
that given in 1870, which was only l2.S per
1000, while the death-rate according to the
census OF 1860 was 1875.
But the apparent increase in 1880 was
due entirely to more complete returns oil
deaths, and even the figures Of that year
cannot be regarded as accurate. Except
in comparatively small number OF COM
.munities vital statistics are not gathered in
the United States after scientific plan. The
actual mortality Of the Union is probably
somewhere between Is and 10 per thousand,
instead Of little over 10. But that is low
rite a4 compared with European countries,
the deatlrrate for the whole Of England
having been 2O.5 per thousand in 1850, and
for Scotland, 2l.3 in 1878.
vi the 7j6, Sy3 deaths recorded in the
census returns, G40,l0l were Of whites, out
OF total white population Of 43, +02,07O,
and liz, 7O9 OF negroes, out Of total colored
population Of G,752,SlS. The apparent
death rate, therefore, was il.74 among the
whites, aud l7.2S among the negroes. A
greater relative mortality among the color
ed infants in the Southern States largely
explains the higher negro death.rate, which
must be accepted as proved, we suppose,
since, deficient as the mortality statistics
among the whites may be, there is good
reason for regarding the returns of negro
mortality as still more incomplete.
OF the deaths reported 30l 800 were Of
males and 364,933 OF females, the total
living population having been 25,5lS.S20
males and 2l,G3O,3G3 females. For every
1000 deaths Of females there were 1914 Of
males.
The proportion Of males dying in infancy
was also greater than that OF females. OF
