Mortality in Old London.

London III the Eighteenth century was
regarded a. a devouring monster, which
drew to its den the surplus country popu-
Iation and destroyed them. 1t appears,
however, that Edinburgh was even worse.
so far as the sacrifice of infant life was
concerned, and if we can trust the regis
tiers Norwich had as large an excess of
buriais over christenings as the capital it
self.
At all events there can be little doubt
that London for several generations after
the plague and the fire was very un-
wholesome city. Taking the deaths from
the bills of mortality, which were, on the
whole, Trustworthy until the beginning of
the present century, find that there were
IN the thirteen years from 1868 to 1865, and
inclusive OF the great plague, 259, 305 deaths,
an annual average OF 1886.
Ia the next thirteen ycars-1666 to 1913,
in which there was only little plague at
the start-the deaths were 233 S73, an an
nual average Of 1890 From 1879 to 1881
there were 1885, an annual average of
- ,237. And to take a somewhat unfavor-
able section of the Eighteenth century,
the thirteen years from IT'S to I73O-the
deaths were 35?,246, an annual average of
q, $50.
BY that time the population had in
creased by about one-third from, say, the
third quarter OF the Seventeenth century.
An incredible proportion of all the deaths
was of infants under two years.-Rlack-

Powerful Streams of water.

After an elaborate series of computations
Professor Samuel +. Christy, of the Uni
versitv of California, an eminent authority
on mining and metallurgy, reports that if
a nozzle OF from six to nine inches in
diameter were especially arranged to throw
stream vertically upward against a
spherical bowlder Of quartz weighing ! 900
pounds the vertical head being anywhere
from 100 to $50 feet, the bowlder would be
forced up until the diminished velocity of
the stream established an equilibrium Of
pressures. There would be a point at
which the upward pressure of the stream
would exactly balance the gravity pressure
OF the howlder, holding 1.-THE half ton
rock-there suspended
As to cutting these streams, Professor
Christy says that be has often tried to
drive crowbar into one of them. The
stream felt as solid as a bar OF iron, and al
though he could feel the point of the crow
bar enter the water for perhaps half an
inch the bar was thrown forward with
such force that it was almost impossible to
retain it in the grasp. An Ak swung by
the most powerful man alive could not
penetrate the stream, yet it might be cut
by the finger of child if child were
seated on n railway train moving parallel
with the stream in the same direction and
with the same velocity That velocity
would be considerably more than a mile a
minute.-American Stockman.
