POPULATION OF FRANCE.

The annual report on the vital statistics
of France, which has just been issued
from the ministries of Commerce ana
Industry and of Posts and Telegraphs'
contains a very interesting review of the
movement of population in this country
during the year 1898.
The following shows the number OF
marriages, divorces, births, and deaths
registered during 1893: Marriages, 2S7,294;
divorces, 61S4; births, S74,672; deaths,
se7, ,52s. For the first time since 1883. the
number of births registered exceeded the
number of deaths. The excess was small
indeed, being but 7,146 but, as compared
with an average annuai excess of deaths
over births during the three preceding
years of 22,997. it is regarded as very
gratifying. The number of births in
1893 was Is, ,s2s greater and the ,od1 number ns
number of marriages during the year
was 3,e5 less than during the preceding
year. but was 1918 above the average

LAUNCHING OF THE DEFENDER.
The Unpatriotic Citizens of Bristol
Will Wake No Demonstration.


BRISTOL, R. l., June 20, 1S95.-Pre-
parations for the launch of the De-
fender are practically completed, and
there is no reason, barring extremely
unlikely accidents. to doubt that it will
take place at 12:45 this afternoon. The
rudder, with its massive bronze post.
was successfully hung before noon yes
terday. This was the last thing re-
naming to be done to the exterior of the
hull. if a second coat of white paint on
the aluminium top sides be excepted.
This latter was applied before the day
was over The third and final coat will
probably be of the same color, so that
the yacht will be the fourth of the cup
defenders to wear white The divers
have finished their task of cutting the
ends of the piles and placing on them
the ways.
The arrangements for launching, while
generally like those made for putting any
vessel of these dimensions into the water,
are in some respects novel. Usually the
pcppets placed on the launch logs reach
to the bi1ge, but in this case the great
depth of the keel has rendered feasible
a different plan. Just where the hull be-
gins to spread out from the keel bilge
\
under the Tapped edge of one of the
plates From both ends of each of the
10 transverse timbers which lie across
from one launch log to the other, and
on which the keel rests, poppets rise
at an angle of 40 degrees, their upper ends
being bevelled to fit closely against the
bilge board
FROM the upper ends of these poppets

down perpendicularly through the trans
verse timbers. SO that the rods and
poppets are in the form of the letter
CA This tying in by the rods will, it
is expected, prevent any possible dis
placement of the poppets, and hold the
hull on an even keel until she is lifted
from the cradle in the water by her
own buoyancy.
The mast will be stepped an hour after
the launck. There will be no public dem
onstration at the launch on the part of
the townsmen No attempt has been
made in decorations. and nobody among
the natives appears to care whether
the boat is launched or not.
The day was at first not very encour-
aging on account of the weather which
at first was very threatening. Later in
the day and morning the sun appeared
making it comparatively agreeable.
Nothing of any account transpired un-
til the S:14 train from Providence ar
rived. The Defender was securely pack
ed in her cradle last night in order to
be in readiness for launching today. A
gang of riveters were at work on the
rudder all night, in the south shop, and
this morning it is all hung in place.
