DWELL LONG ON THE EARTH.
Statistics Show That Hebrews Live
Longer Than Other Civil
lied Races.
From the London Daily News.

From the London Daily News
Probably few persons outside statistical
circles are aware of the fact that the Jews
are considerably longer lived than any
other civilized race.
OF 10000 Hebrews born on the same day
there will be 5G,6s4 males and 1886 females.
At the end of the first year the 100000
Jewish infants will have established in a
most remarkable way their superiority in
point of vitality, for only S,G91 will have
died, as compared with 4,f92 in the English
experience and 1916 Americans.
Striking as this difference is, it will be
found to be practically maintained through
out the later stages of life. AT the end of
five years only 1854 Jewish children out
of the 10000 will have died, while out of
q similar number of English children "a 1879
America will still keep her bad pre-emi-
nence with 26g12 angels.
Making a leap to middle-age. the deaths
at 50 years of age will have been 26.519 Jews,
as compared with 49,0I9 English: and at the
age of % mortality returns will stand at
81 ,442 and 66,1l0, respectively.
But the full force of the comparison is
hardly seen until the point of extreme old
age is reached. At So years no fewer than
% .135 of our 10000 Jews will be still living,
while the survivors of the English band will
be meager 5,566.
Besides the curious reversal of the usual
proportion of males and females, there is
another unique feature in the Jewish sta
tistics. The general experience is that the
average duration of life is higher with the
female than with the male. The opposite
Is the case with the Jews. OF the q. 135
Jewish survivors at the age of S5 there will
be 1929 men and only $50 women-a per-
centage of 64.60 males and $40 females.
The English experience shows that at that
age $3.50 per cent of the survivals will be
females and 40 10 males

cabin late last night, intoxicated. Peter
Nelson, sailor, was awaiting his arrival
before going to his bunk in the forecastle
The men parted, and about 1:30 a. m,
Nelson says, he was awakened by the
screams of the captain, calling for help and
crying murder. Nelson ran to the cabin,
and. just as he passed the hatchway. he
was confronted by a tall man with a
pistol in his hand. Nelson backed out Of
the door and ran for the side of the vessel.
The tall man shouted to a companion:
Hold him off, and Nelson jumped into
the water. The short man tired several
shots at Nelson, one of which struck the
sailor in the leg
Meantime, the people on board the yacht
Alameda, hearing the noise, put out in a
boat for the Chispa. They picked Nelson
up and went on board, but the murderers
