Mr.. J. Korosi, director of the Hunga-

memoir before tho Hungarian Academy
of Sciences upon tho "InluenSe Of The
AGO of Parents Upon the Vitality OF
Children" and in which, taking 9i,OOo
cases as a basis, he reaches the following
conclusions:
Children whose father Is less than q
years OF age have weak constitution.
The issue Of fathers Of between % AMI
40 years are the strongest, while the de-
scendants Of fathers of over 40 years aFe
weak. IFhe healthiest children are .hoss
whose mother has not yet reached 80
years. Those born Of mothers Of pe'
tween 85 and 40 years OF age are per
cent. weaker, and those Of mothers OF
over 40 are 10 per cent. weaker. The
children OF aged fathers and ypangei
mothers have, as o general thing,
strong constitution; but If the parents
are Of the same age, the children are
less robust. Revue Scientinqua
