MORE WOMEN THAN MEN.

Figures Showing That the Popular Ex-
plsna ion Is Not . True One.
It is a well-known fact, says the Chi
cago Mail, that there are more females
than males among the civilized Chris
tan nations of the world, and scholars
have generally asserted that the cause
of the differences was the frequent
wars in which many males, but no fe-
males were killed. Statistics now
proves this theory altogether erroneous
If it were correct, those nations which
have had most wars ought to have the
greatest preponderance of women,
chief among them France and Germany.
And the most peaceable nations ought
to have nearly as many males as fe-
males. But statistics proves the con-
trary. Finland, a very peaceable coun-
try, heads the list with l,l3o women to
1000 men; Norway and Sweden, which
have hardly had a war for the last two
centuries, follow next with 1,010 women
to 1000 men. France, which has been
carrying on more wars than any other
great nation for nearly three centuries,
has only l,007 women to 1000 men, the
same as Belgium, the most peaceable
nation on earth. Germany, the war
like, and Switzerland, the peaceable,
are both down in the list with /, 040 fe-
males to 1000 males. In the Balkan
peninsula where small warfare is being
carried almost without ceasing, there
are only GAG females to 1000 males. and
in Greece and Bosnia only 900 females
to 900 males. SO, evidently, war has
nothing to do with these inequalities
in the number of sexes. But probably
Charles Darwin in his theory of sexual
selection with its influence on births,
may offer an explanation more salts
factory than that of deaths in war.

IMMENSE AOUARIUMS.
The Three Places Where the Largest In
the w orld Are Found.

The Three Places Where the Largest In
the w orId Are Found.
The three largest aquariums in the
world are those at Brighton, Hamburg
and Paris. The Brighton aquarium
which takes the lead, has forty-one
tanks, containing all varieties of fish,
from the stichleback to the sturgeon.
It's area is 7l5 feet in length by 100 feet
in breadth. Some of the tanks are of
vast capacity. There is one in particu-
lar, which contains l00,0 900 gallons of
water, and has a plate glass front,
through which the habits of very large
fish may be studied. The Hamburg
aquarium is nearly the same size as
that at Brighton. The Paris aquarium,
belonging To the French Aeclimatiza.
ton society, in the Bots de Boulogne, Is
fifty yards in length by about twelve
in breadth, and contains forty tanks.
All three, however, are about TO be
eclipsed by an aquarium at New York,
where the well-known depot of immi-
gration-Castle GARDENS to bc trans
formed into an aquarium, which Is to
have 1870 tanks for smaller fish, while
there arc TO be gigantic pool or pond
tanks for sharks and other large and
dangerous fish.

The CONSUMPTION PLAN.
A Law That Loses More 10 . e.tie. Than
Is Gained By 1t

A Law That Loses More 10 Nation ThAa
Is Gained By 1t
When the gain of what Is termed q
whole nation under arms Is estimated,
the eNaggeration, says the Fortnightly
Review, of the pompons phrases hides
the nakedness Of the fact that large
numbers of young men are lost to their
country by the means To which they
resort to escape military service. In
Italy and Germany these may be count
ed by legions; in France men are less
numerous, because In France men are
more welded 10 the native soil, and
take 70 service more gayly and more
naturally. but in Italy and Germany
thousands hock 10 immigrant ships,
thus choosing lifelong self-expatria-
ton, and every year, as the military
and fiscal burdens grow heavier, Will
lads go away by preference to lands
where. however hard be the work, the
dreaded voice of the drill sergeant can
not reach them, and they can "call their
souls their own"
Patriotism is fine quality, no doubt,
but il does not accord with the chill
and supercilious apathy which charac-
terizes the general teaching and temper
of this age. and a young man may be
pardoned if he deem that his country is
less mother worthy Of love than a
cruel and unworthy stepmother, when
she demands three of the fairest years
of his life to be spent in barrack yard,
and wrings his ears till the blood drops
from them or beats him about the head
with the butt Of musket because he
does not hold his chin high enough or
shift his feet quickly enough
