Is an advantage also. Feeble children
are now raised which invariably per-
ished in prior ages. Survival is the
proof of being the fittest for survival,
of course. If future man is to be much
Trailer than present man, it will be a
natural process. Present types are
much different from the powerful
brute of prehistory and keep them
selves alive by intelligent forethought.
They are filter than the stupid man of
great physical strength, and are driv-
ing him to the wall.
The same journal which gives a
highly sensational account of the ter
rife reduction in the birth rate will in
another column describe the awful
famines in. far-away lands involving
millions of people.
The Russian peasants have huge
families, in which the infantile death
rate is tremendous, because they live
under very unsanitary conditions
which none except the most vigorous
| children can survive. All the weak
| lings are killed off, and the survivors
are those remarkable men who, when
| drafted into the army, are able to ac-
complish such marvels of endurance.
On the other hand, the English baby.
no matter how frail, is saved; no mat
ter how sick, it is cured and grows up.
| The nation Is known to be far less ro-
bust, as far as muscle and brute
force is concerned, than it was a
couple of centuries ago. 1t is difficult
to get soldiers strong enough to carry
the gun and ammunition, while in Rus
sia nearly all are able soldiers.
Most Intelligent Live.
Now, the English are able to sur
vive simply because they have the in
telligence to avoid the causes OF
death. Thus in one end of Europe
the most intelligent .are being select
ed for survival, in the other the most
robust though lacking in intelligence.
1t is the rule which has guided our de-
velopment since man was created; in
creasing intelligence selects for sur
vival the more frail who are not bur-
dened with unnecessary bone and
muscle.
The alleged deterioration of the
English nation is the normal evolution
and not the disaster which sociologists
are so prone to think. 1t is part and
parcel of the high growth of Demo
cratic civilization In Great Britain
which is impossible in Russia, where
there is not sufficient intelligence. The
social organization of these Trailer but
brainier English types is therefore
wholly unsuited for the robust but
stupid mujik, and the men who are
trying TO graft these forms upon the
Russian organism are merely doing
harm.
The average family is now about
four, and If they all survive it means
doubling OF population each genera
tion, which In a few centuries would
not leave standing room in the United
States. In another two or three cen

tries shows a constant increase The
Asiatic peoples numbering five-eighths
the total population of the world, can
not be studied with the same facility
as the nations of Europe and America.
Statistics of the kind most desired for
gauging the character of increase or
decrease are waning, but, as a general
proposition, there does not seem to be
any failure in the birth rate in the far
east.
Many misconceptions of the size of
the population of the ancient mon
archles and people, it seems, have
been popularly held. At the time Of
the exodus 1t is doubtful if the then
narrowly prescribed world contained
more than 100000 of people. Prof,
Flinders Petrie, the eminent Egyptolo-
gist, in a recent work, has called at
tention to what he considers an error
in translating the original Hebrew
Scriptures. He maintains that instead
of 100000 Hebrews leaving Egypt
there were really about $500. His
Interpretation and demonstration are
ingenious and need not be refuted
here.

Some Unreliable Data.

1t is only by estimates based upon
questionable figures that any idea of
the number of the worlds people at

the figures given of the armies of the
ancients. fair estimate of their popu-

regularly recognized as a part Of life
that at least one-tenth of the male
population was regularly in service.
quering army, such as Alexanders. set
ting out with 10000 foot and 5000
sources.
From figures such as these 1t would
appear that the Persian empire in its
heyday did not contain so large a pop
ulation as Pennsylvania does to-day; :;
Egypt, under the Pharaohs, probably
had smaller population than New
York city, and many of the beautiful
ancient cities which Industrious arch
eologists are daily bringing to light
had fewer inhabitants than many
third-class post Office towns in the
United States to-day. When Columbus
discovered America there were not

inhabitants in the entire western
hemisphere.
The greatest increase in the worlds
population was observable during the
nineteenth century, which with its
scientific spirit and remarkable in
ventlons, spread the benefits of hy
giene and sanitation. Yet wars and
railway accidents surpassed the raw
ages of any hundred plaques known to
history. In the United States alone
during the last ten years, there has
been an average of 1000 persons killed
and $4,000 injured year. The Ma
