Duratio, OF Life Among R,rds.


The distinguished German biologist,
Wiesmann, has pointed out that there
is less exact knowledge on this subject
than might be expected, considering
how many in number are the ornitho-
logical societies. Small singing birds
live from eight to eighteen years.
Ravens have lived for almost one hun
dred years in captivity and parrots
longer than that. Fowls live from ten
to twenty years (and are then sold us
spring chickens to young housekeep-
ers). The wild goose lives upward Of
M hundred years and swans are said
to have attained the age of three hun
dred. The long life of birds has been
interpreted as compensation for their
feeble fertility and for the great NOR
tally Of their young. From the small
inlands Of St. Kilda, off Scotland,
twenty thousand young gannets and an
number of eggs are annually.
collected, and although this bird lays
only one egg per annum and is four
years in attaining its maturity, its
numbers do not diminish. Obviously,
as Wiesmann observes, such birds must
reach q great age OF they would long
ago have been exterminated.

James Anthony Froude had a strik-

which lent itself ill to sculpture. Mrs.
Ireland gives in the Contemporary Re-

house, and after dinner she and Mr..
Froude were just adJourning to the IL

pointed out a bust on a bookcase. the

representations in marble.

MI. Froude laughed. "Try again.
he said, ''you ought to know it."
"It is a horrid looking thing said 1,

"Atrocious!" said Mr.. Froude, EN-.
phatically. "Isit not? Well, I'm sorry
to say it is a bust of myself, just pre-.

Very kind of him, wasn't it? And now
of course, I have to stick it up here in

QUEER STATISTICS.

Some Singular Facts Relating to the HUI
mar Family.
The estimated population of the world
on January 1, 1895, was 1900, 900, 900.
Taking the world over, there is an
average of one death and one and one
fourth births per second. Only one
half of all who arc born into the world
lie to the age of II years.
Vital statistics prove that, taking the
world over, there are 100 women to
every 100 G Out of every 0 sudden
deaths reported s Of the number are
men.
The microscope shows that the hui
man body is covered with scales, each
scale covering 500 pores.
Only 6 persons of each 1000 born
live to be rs years old, and only 1 out
Of the same number reaches the century
n.xck.
Figures by experts in vital statistics
p1s've that not less than 4,S47, 500, 90 hui
man beings die on our globe each CEN
fury.
The latest anthropological statistics
prove that in America the daily, month
ly and yearly number Of births exceed
the deaths in the ratio of 5 to 1.
Huxley's tables show that the human
body is made up Of 10 different ele-
Eacnts, of which 5 are gases and s are
solids.
The average height of man in the
