CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

The Paris Journal Onica publishes
an article by DR.. Jacques Bertillion,
chief statistician OF Paris. calling at
tention to the disastrous results of
the birth and death statistics in
France sor 1910. The complete figures
are as follows; Marriages. 800, 2S9
divorces 1903, births s74,35S, deaths
f03,I.7. The births are the lowest for
century In 1859 the births mum
mered 1,01S,600. They dwindied to
$4,000 in 1862, and numbered $3.50 900
in 1887. The number of deaths in
1910 was exceptionally low; yet the
excess of births over deaths was only
O,5Sl, compared with $500 in Ger
many. Dr. BertilloiI concludes by de-
clarins that there IS no reason which
prevents France from increasing as
other nations, and no motive for her
to resign herself shamefuliy To suicide
