TUESDAY EVENING MARCH IS 1898.

ABOUT TwINs.-Privy Councillor Dr.
Won Winkel recently delivered an inter-
estipe lecture before the Munich An
thropological Society concerning the
frequency and causes of the birth 'f
twins or triplets. Russia, he said, was
the greatest producer of twins. The
records of that country showed that
nearly % per cent of the births were
twins. Finland and Sweden, which
come next to Russia as twin producers,
showed similar percentage of but Il.
In Germany, as whole, the percentage
was but II, although it varied remark
ably with the part of the empire select
ed. In the Pialz, for instance, the per-
centage was but SO, while in Bavaria it
rose to II. The percentage oftwins for
all Europe was somewhat above ! J eN-
elusive of Russia, about l l-5.
The most fruitful races, DR.. Won Win
kle said, such as the Russians, Slavs,
Magyars and Germans, produced pro-
portionately the largest number OF
twins The production varied little
with religious confessions, except that
among the Jews the percentage was no.
tceably low. Twins ran in families,
and predisposition to having them might
be Inherited from either fathers or
mothers side Of the house. The more
children there are in family, said Dr.
Won Winkcl, the more probability there
is that among the future ones will be
twins or triplets. The vast majority of
twins were borne by women between
the ages Of % and %. Among the gen
eral conditions initiating against the
production of twins were high stand
ard of life among the people, the ac-
companying increase ofcomfort in home
life, and density Of population.
