the certificate Of death of all six for
bears These are still required if the
man or woman in the case be under
thirty.
However, the simplifications intro
duced, such as they are, were suff1-
cient to send up the marriage rate
wonderfully. Dr. Bertillon notes with
delight that the number Of weddings
celebrated in France last year-to wit,
309, 289-is one of the highest on rec
ord since the passage of the law of
1907. The marriage rate has since
then gone up some 5000 year.
DR.. Bertillon has therefore some
glimmer of hope that the birth rate
may rise, too, though he is the first to
acknowledge that, though French
people marry more that is no proof
that they will increase the population.

ST. Paul, Minn.-A vertebra of a

from the north had devastated the
feeding grounds of it's kind, exhumed
at Albert Lea by workmen excavating

Discovered in a state where little re-

been done, it is considered by univer-
sity specialists as a most valuable
contribution to worldwide science.
1t is the second discovery of the
kind made in Minnesota. Seven

of a mastodon were found at Brai-

workman digging ditch, and sent to

Dr.. Bertillon Says Figures "SpeIl
National AnnihiIation."
GImmer of Hope Seen in Passing of
Law Abolishing Few of Amazing
FormaIities Surrounding Mar
riage in France.

Paris.-Dr. Jacques Bertillon, head
Of the statistical department Of Paris,
declares that the birth and death
rates for 1910 spell national annihi-
lation" The births were 774,358 and
the deaths 703,777, difference of only
70,581.
The number of births is the lowest
for the past century, barring that for
1909, which was 1000 less. In 1859
more than a million children were
born in France. This figure remained
about stationary till 1868, when the
number was over $4,000. The births
exceeded 100000 for IS years, but
fell to $4,000 in 1886. For the fol-
lowing 20 years they exceeded 100000
annually.
During the past four years the fig
ure of births has begun with a seven.
The increase in 1910 over 1909 DR..
Bertillon considers insignificant The
decrease in the death rate also fails
to give him any hope. He points out
that it is solely due to the dwindling
birth rate. The reduction is observ-
able only among children under one
year. The only reason, therefore, why
there are fewer deaths is that fewer
children are born.
Meanwhile, as DR.. Bertil1on re-
marks despondently, the excess of
births over deaths in the German en-
pire last year was $4,000, as COM
pared with under 1900 in France.
The returns give him only one ray of
hope. A law was passed in 1907 abol-
ishing few of the amazing formali-
ties surrounding marriage in France.
1t is still difficult to get married in
this country, but it was almost i'm
possible to do so before June, 1907.
Now, for instance, a man or woman
more than thirty years of age may
marry in France without troubling to
obtain his or her parents consent.
Before 1907 such consent, verbal or
written, was needed. If the father

Find Bone of Mastodon

Valentine, Neb., consisting of the up
per jaws, tusks and neck bones, was
sent to the university, where it is now
on exhibition. The three exhibits, rep
resenting the different parts Of the
body, give a good idea of the size and
shape Of the pre-glacial beast.
The vertebra discovered at Albert
Lea was found IL feet below the sur
face of the ground, in the glacial drift,
by Charles e. May. 1t is called the
atlas bone, a vertebra located at the
neck, and is of enormous size, meas
uring two feet across from shoulder
to shoulder. From the top Of the
neck down 1t is fully foot deep. The
bone Is carefully preserved in every
detail, there being no sign OF crum-
bling or decay
Though the excavation at Albert
Lea was prolonged in the hope OF dis
covering other parts of the skeleton,
none was discovered. The absence of
other bones, however, is easily ex-
plsined by experts in paleontology
at lhe university. Members Of the de-
partment say carnivorous beasts OF
that period who preyed upon the mas
todon may have detached the bone
from the skeleton and carried it to
the spot where it was found, either to
