According 10 the recently published
statistics of population in France, there
were. in 1895, 1888 more deaths than
births in that country. In commenting
on this. the Nation states that the
French are the least prolific or all the
peoples OF Europe, and gives the follow
ing statistics Of birth rate per 1000:
Hungary. 425; Italy, sos; Germany, S6.s;
Austria. 36.2; Holland, 1873; Great Britain,
COS; Belgium. 29.5; Switzerland, 2S.5;
France 221.
There are other factors, however con-
tinues the Nation, which greatly modify
This result and render It less unfavorable
70 France than 1t appears to be at first
sight. Thus, the yearly number or
deaths in France is only % per 1000
whereas 1t averages 26 in the rest OF
Central Europe. The average number OF
children born TO family in France is
. g6. wherea. in Germany IL is more than
In some German cities lin Munich,
for example, about one half OF the chil-
dren die before they are year old. In
France. infant mortality is far less. In
France. too, emigration is quite small; in
Germany it is very large, and depriVes
