Diminution of French Birth Rate.

The Journal Officiel has just pub
lished the French vital statistics for
1910 The most striking fact is that
the excess of births over deaths is
only 7O,581, as against 84,061 in the
previous year. In England and Aus
ria-Hungary the excess is about 500.-
900. This result is a consequence
of the extraordinary fall in the births,
which have dropped from 1,000,01S in
1859 to $4,000 in 1868, 500, 600 in 1887
and 774,35S in 1910. If the total pop
ulation remains stationary it is be-
cause the death rate also has consid-
erably diminished The actual figures
are 7O3,777, the lowest ever observed.
But DR.. Bertillon, the celebrated stat
istician, justly remarks that this re-
suit is due partly to the diminution in
births, since it is the infants that
furnish the largest part of the NOR
tality statistics. Thanks to the prog
ress of hygiene and of care for the
children, infant mortality has fallen
from IA per cent in 1906 to II per
cent at the present time.
