lONC-LIVED RACE.
Statistics Show That jews Live to Great

Statistics Show That jews Live to Great
Ages.
Probably few persons outside statis-
tical circles are aware of the fact that
the Jews are considerably longer lived
than any other civilized race. Of 100,-
900 Hebrews born on the same day
there will be 50.6Si males and 1876
females. The end of the first year the
1Oo,0 900 Jewish infants will have estab-
lished in a most remarkable way their
superiority IN point of vitality, for
only 8,091 will have died. as compared
with 1892 In the English experience
and 1906 American. Striking as this
difference is. it will be found to be
practically maintained throughout the
latter stages Of life. At the end of five
years only 1884 Jewish children out
of the 1000 will have died, while out
of a similar number of English chill
dren 24,679 will have Joined the great
majority, and America will still keep
her bad pre-eminence with 26,912 an
gels. Making leap to middle life. the
deaths at fifty years of age will have
been 26,519 Jews, as compared with
49,079 English, and at the age of 50
tho mortality returns will stand at 37,-
442 and 66,110 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
25,135 of our 100000 Jews will be still
living, while the survivors of the Eng
iish band will be meager 5,5GS. Be
sides the curious reversal of the usual
proportion of males and females. there
is another unique feature in the Jewish
statistics. 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. or the %, 1856 Jewish surviv-
ors at the age of So there will be TO-
225 men and only 500 women-a per-
centage of 64.60 males and 35.40 fe-
males. The English experience shows
that at that age $3.50 per cent of the
survivals will be females and 1910
males.
