With reference to the recent records
of longevity it is of interest to observe
that NJ. Rouse, the oldest member of
the Institute of France maintains that
life is prolonged more surely in the cities
than in the country. But NJ. ROusse's
statistics apply specially to the city of
Paris and to France. They certainly do
not apply to this country, In America
by far the majority of centenarians live
and die in country towns. The case of
the late Louis Perlstein. who died in
New York short time ago at the age
of 100, is an exception to the rule, al
though at the same time the sanitary
conditions of large cities such as London
and New York are very greatly superior
20 those country towns and villages.

longing 10 this port. which are at pres
ent absent to assist in raising the French
schooner wrecked on the coast. will re-
turn In the morning and participate in

posed to the French resident general TO
telegraph 10 the British admiralty at
Malta for salvage assistance This offer

paratus will be sent at once 10 the scene
OF the catastrophe.

TO the port OF Sidi Abdallah. Tunis. Com
mandant Rotier OF the Farfadet noticed
at the moment OF plunging that one OF
the doors was not closed properly and
rushed 10 adjust II. He was too late, the
water rushing in with force and throw
