A German Investigator Makes an IT,
terestinz statement

From the Nelo York Advertiser.

From the NeI0 York Advertiser.
Some statistics gathered by German In
vestiGator may relieve the anxiety felt by
many that the human race is destined to
die OUT from the increasing reluctance Of
men and women to marry, or at least to
postpone that event until later period in
life than was formerly the custom. For
ten years this investigator made it prao-
tica, whenever tho death of q child was re-
gistersd, to inquire the age of the parents at
the time the child was born aud 20 note
whether the cause OF death was he o litar Y
or due to some disease contracted al Tor
birth. In this way about 80, 900 cases were
recorded, aud the conclusions drawn. which
seem to be sustained by the facts, are Of
highly interesting character.
The figures prove, at least for the neigh
borhood in which the investigation was
made, that children born Of mothers under
20 years Of age are much more subject 10
disease and die in double the proportion
from consumption and'treble the proportion
from atrJphy of children born OF mothers
over the age of 30. Where the father was
under 20 years che result as to the health OF
the child seems to have been about the same
as where the mother was under 20. The
most healthful children, it was found, were
born to parents where the father was be-
tween 30 and 40 years Of age and the mother
between 80 and 30 years. Vita the facts
before him the German Investigator con-
structed the folio wing table showing the per-
centage of deaths from hereditary causes
among children born to parents Of different
age combinations;

The Central Railroad.
From the Atlanta Constitution

The Central railroad of Georgia seems to
be gradually fighting its way to clearer
skies and better times. What this property
has been able TO stand in the past few years
is evidence Of its great worth and ihtrin sic
value. A stronger corporation would have
succumbed before this and the stock be
utterly worthless as well as all the Junior
securities 1t is not our purpose to take
sides in any trials that are pending before
the court over this property. Thousands of
dollars of the stoox and junior securities of
the road is held by Georgians-to those we
wish to say few words.
l. IT the reorganization now pending fails
your holdings are not worth a cent. The
system will be dismem bered, and the parts
bought in by parties who have no interest
in you or your property.
2. The parties who are fighting the reor-
ganiZation are composed mostly of property
holders in corporations that we're excluded
from the plan of reorganization, such as
the bondholders Of the Chattanooga, CO.
lumbus and CArrollton and the Macon and
Western.
3. The ownership Of the AZ, 900 shares re-
organized the road when they purchased
the stock. The result has been almost fatal
to the company. Then what are the other
stockholders and junior security holders to
expect il they are turned over to the tender
mercies of the holders Of this stock? If
they did not fear that the reorganization
scheme now proposed would go through
why are they fighting it so vigorouslyg
These are questions TO be considered well,
and when considered should be acted on
promptly.
One thing is certain, and we repeat 1t,
that we may emphasize 1t. If the reorgan-
ization scheme now proposed by the Hollins
committee fails, the stock and debentures and
other junior securities will be utterly worth
less. IL it is successful and ell parties carry
it out faithfully. these properties will be
worth q great deal more than ct present
and in time will reach par value if proper
management is continued.
AS TO the Southwestern stockholders, we
never had doubt they would take the
course they have. It was the only safe line
10 pursue, and the holders of this stock are
among our most experienced and oonserva-
tive property holders.
The longer this property is kept In Htiga-
ton the greater the loss will be TO the
stockholders. Suits multiply, fees increase.
1t all costs money, and the stockholders
are paying it. The shortest way out Of
trouble is always the best. and the shortest
way out Of this trouble is to accept the
reorganization plan proposed. Such a
course will only disappoint the enemies of
the Central.

Per cent. OF
Deaths Among
q Children

The three conclusions the Investigator
drew from these figures we're: First, that
men should not marry before they are %
years Of age il they wish TO have healthful
children; second. women between the ages
of 80 and Sand this applies with still
greater emphasis to women under 80 years
of age-ought not to contract marriages
with men who have passed the age Of 80;
third, that it is not wise for women over
IS years Of age to marry men under 80
years. The whole force OF these statistics
and conclusions is against early marriages.
1t Is to be regretted that no similar iu-
ve5tigstion has been made elsewhere so
that comparison can be made, and the
fact shown whether difference of climate
and habits of life overcome or increase this
bad effect Of early marriages. It is probable,
however, that tho conclusions hold good
and in many neighborhoods, with increased
force over the locality in Germany where
they were made.
In this view Of the case the decrease in
youthful marriages need not DO a cause of
anxiety to the well-wishers OF the race, as
it is the healthful children that survive and
are able to contend successfully with the
difficulties of life and not the simple number
Of children born, that will determine the
perpetuity of the race. That the marrying
age Of both males and females is increasing
Is a well-known fact In England it is esti-
mated that 81 young men out Of 1000 marry
between the ages Of 20 and IS, while 1873 out
Of 1000 marry between 30 and IS years, lat
between IS and 40 years and 1872 between 40
and 45 years OF age. The bureau Of vital
statistics of Michigan shows that
while IN 1890 Of the males marry
ing 37.779 per cent. were be-
tween 81 and 25 years OF age aud 20. AZ per
cent. were between 25 and 80 years, In 1890
the per cent. of the males Of the former age
had sunk TO 81. As and the per cent. Of the
males of the latter age had risen to 81 81.
The same tendency with stiE greater force
is seen among females Ia 1870 $3.50 per
cent. married between Is and 20 years OF
age and 3745 per cent. between 20 and IS
years, but in 1890 only 3l.24 per cent mar
ried between the former ages, while Al. IS
per cent. married between the latter ages.
Seventeen years Of marriage statistics kept
in the province OF Ontario Canada, show
that the percentage of men marrying be-
tween 20 and 25 years has declined from 80
to 80, while the percentage of men marry
ing between 30 aud IS years has increased
from II to IA.
These facts, which have served as the
text for much moralizing, will appear far
less discouraging TO students of social prob
lens If viewed in the light of the investi-
cations made In Germany. They all 20 to

emit scientist who said that it would be bet-

Teaching Indians Respect.

THE Bolivian government" said Amos
j, Thomas, recently attempted to estab-
lish telephone line between Lapas and
Lake Titicaca, 45 miles apart. 1t was torn
down and destroyed so frequently by the
Indians that the government was com
PEELED to abandon it, The electric light
plant in Lapas was preserved by adopting
an ingenious method of overawinE the ma
tives. After the plant had been in opera
ton but a few nights it happened that
there was an eclipse of the moon.
The superstitious Indians believed that
the electric light was absorbing or swal-
lowing the moon. They gathered in large
body at one quarter of the town and moved
upon the plant TO destroy it. 1t was saved
only by the intervention of a large body of
troops. The government the next day Sc
lected several representative Indians, took
them to the power house, shocked them Sc
verely, then took them out along the line
and shocked them again with the wires
and informed them that the electric light
was an evil spirit and that they had better
leave it alone. Since then they have had
no trouble on that score. "-Washington
