Brady, il to be found in certain cold.

cause. was responsible for more than
10 per cent.-practically one-nfth-of
all divorces granted in the United
States during the 20 years between
1887 and 1906 inclusive. Since at the
present rate at least every twelfth
marriage ends in divorce, We get q
proportion Of one home in every 81
wrecked by drink. Moreover. the
census authorities themselves. accord.
ing to Mr.. Brady. admit that these fg-
ures represent only the most fragrant
ard palpable instances of the part
which intemperance plays in divorce
and that greater percentages than
those actually given would be nearer
the truth. The detailed figures as SET
forth In the census bulletin are a. fol.
lows:
Drunkenness was the sole cause Of
divorce In 36.516 cases. or So per cent
Of the total number of divorces (18S7
to 1906). It was cause in combina
tion with some other cause in 17.765
cases. or 10 per cent. of the total
number. Therefore. 1t was 4 direct

with other causes. in 54.2S1 cases. Of
81 per cent. Of the total. OF divorce
granted to the wife the percentage for

responding percentage. Ia.
"The attempt was made to ascer
tain also the number Of cases in which
drunkenness or intemperance. al
though not direct ground for the di
vorce. was an indirect or contributory
cause. The number Of such cases va,
returned as 13S,2S7. representing 13t
per cent. Of the total number of di
vorces. Probably this number include.
those cases In which the fact of in.
temperance was alleged In the bill oi
complaint or established by the evi
dence. although not specified among
the grounds for which the divorce wa
granted.
"The remaining cases are those II
which there was no reference to In
temperance. or no evidence that In
temperance existed ~ q contributory
cause. In some Of these cases the
record was 30. meager that the ab
sence Of any mention Of intemperance

In Bulletin No. 118, Of the Colorado

were used In the experiment. On
these trees, by careful counting, Mr.
Taylor found that an average Of only

Of lead, 10 pounds to 100 gallons of
water, was used at the time upon 36
trees, aud as a result an average Of but
