INCREASED LONGEVITY
INCREASES INSANITY.
Head of New York Lunacy Com.
mission Draws Comparison.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The increased
longevity of the race is one of the
causes of the increased number of in
sane dependents, according to DR..
Albert Warren Ferris, president of the
New York State Commission in Lunacy,
who. in pamphlet on Possible Prer
ventive Measures in Insanity" says;
Dana, of New York, has drawn
attention to the fact that the race is
longer lived. He tells us that in 1S4O
the average age at death was about
% years In 1900 the average had In
creased to 34.5 years, thus bringing
more people into the third decade or
life, which is the most fruitful decade
in insanity. c. H. Sears, the statis-
tician of the New York State Commits
sion in Lunacy, has computed the num-
ber Of insane properly expected in 1906,
deduced from this basis of deaths and
age distribution in 1910, as 27.S per cent.
greater than in 1910. Thus do the re-
finements of medicine, so unfortunate
for the race and so satisfactory for the
individual. prop up and fortify young
people with feeble constitutions until
they can marry. thus aiding In the sur
