Sc. uow Lang You VIII Live.

There is a very simple rule for ind
ing the average number Of years which
persons OF any age may expect TO live.
IL the present age be deducted from
SO, two-thirds OF the remainder is the
answer required. This result is not
absolutely accurate, but IL Is near
enough. For instance, a man aged 20
might by this rule expect to live 40
years longer, which Is just what the
latest actuarial tables give. At 40 the
expectation Of life works out at nearly
q years, while the tables give 1t as
more than % years. At 90 the above
rule allows just over l3 years, and the
table shows little less.
