An English naturalist remarks that it
is a sad reflection that, while the turbot
lays ID, 1000, 900 eggs, not more thar one.
on an average, ever lives to reach ma
turity. In fish, generally, it takes yearly
at least 100, 900 eggs for each individual
to keep up the average of its species. In
frogs and amphibians, a few hundred
are amply sufficient. Reptiles often lay
only a much smaller number. In birds.
which hatch their own eggs and feed
their young, from two to ten eggs per
annum are quite sufficient to replenish
the earth. Among mammals, three or
-four at a birth is a rare number. and
many of the larger sorts produce one
calf or foal at a time only. In the hui
man race at large a total of five or six
children for each married couple during
a whole lifetime makes up sufficiently
for infant mortality and all other sources
of loss, though among savages a far
higher rate is usually necessary. In
England an average of four and a half
children per family sufices to keep the
population stationary.-Chicago Herald.
