The English Birth Rate.

Those who have inferred from recent
events that there are tendencies likely to
lower the birth rate of the country viii
not find much encouragement in the lat-
est return of the Registrar General IN
the first nine months of the current year
that rate has, in England and Wales.
averaged 2s,S. which compares with 2s.7
both for last year and the year before
Very steadily the population is increasing.
During the first three-quarters of the
present year, for which figures are this
week available, 500 153 births were regis,
tered in England and Wales alone. and
only 419,5S7 deaths, showing an excess or
births over deaths of no fewer than 279,-
566. The population of England and
Wales has in round numbers increased
from 5000 900 in 1888 to $1,000 900 in 1898.
One fact is not easily explained. Usu-
ally there are more births in the first half
than in the second half of the year. To
that rule there has been only one eXcep-
ton in the last ten years. that being in
1896 There may. however, soon be an
other, as the births in the third quarter
of this year exceeded those in either the
first or second quarter. But why the
balance should generally be in favor of
the first half of the. year is a point of
some interest, second only in Importance
perhaps to that on which Professor
Schenk has speculated so much.-London
