WM SANDERS, Ecli.tor.
il'HURSD,11,Y1 AUG, 21st, 189Q,
THE POPULATION' OF FRANCE.
Whilo the fecundity of the French
Canadian womau. is attracting consid-
erable attention in this eountry, the
growing, sterility of her French sister
is becoming a subject of grave ceinsid-
elution in France. M, Lagneau, who
has been studying the question of the
state of population in France with
great care, delivered an address at the
last meeting of the Acadenaic des Sci:
encee,in which he stated. that the num-
ber of marriages is decreasing, while
the average age of those marrying is
thirty for men and twenty-five for wom-
en. Residents in towns marry later
than those living; in the country. I'
Faris out of 1,000 men over twenty
only 570 are married; and the average
for the whole of France is 609 out of
1,000. The birth rate is also decreas-
ing, fi having fallen last year to one to
e.very forty-two inhabitants, and in the
large townsthe births are proportion-
ately lower than in the country, Out
of 100 married. women between the
.ages of fifteen and forty-five there are
annually only nineteen births, while
the number of illegitimate children
horn, which reaches 23 per cent. in the
large cities, is also decreasing. M.
Lagneau attributes this voluntary lim-
itation of offspring to the desire of the
parents to make ample provision for
the children they do have. While the
number of marriages and births is ,de-
creasing, the rate of mortality has in-
creased from nineteen to twenty-two
per 1,000 within the last few years, the
mortality amongst young children be -
frig nearly 17 per cent. The wars of
the last thirtyor Jortybears have had
a great effect upon the mortality, 95,-
645 men having perished m the Cri-
mea, while the war with Germany and
the Communist insurrection entailed a
3oss of nearly 400,000. Cholera, yellow
fever, typhus and consumption, have
also killed many thousands in the co-
lonial stations. The excess of births
over deaths is now very little more
than one in. 1,000, as against 13 7 per
2,000 in England, 12 9 in Russia, and
10 per 1,000 in Germany. This slow
rate of increase, compared to that of
the other great nations, would, in the
course of half a century, place France
'in a very disadvantageous position)
and Mr. Lagneau intends to indicate,
at the next meeting of the Academic
-what he considers may be done to ac
celerate th.e,progress,

CYCLONES.
The increasing frequency of cyclonic
disturbances in portions of Western
and Southwestern States has for some
time past been attracting the attention
ef scientists,' but so far no satisfactory
eonclusion has jbeen':reached as to the
cause of these atmosPheric convulsions.
One class ofscientists hold that there has
notreally been any increase in the fre-
quency or violence of the cyclones, the
only difference being that as the
eountry becomes thickly: settled the
storms receivemore notice than for-
merly, and the loss of life and property
becomes greater. Another alass of
scientists hold that the violence of the
cyclones has increased, and that such
increase is due to the destruction of the
forests;but this theory hardly holds
good as portions of the:cyclone region
bave always been treeless, at least in
modern terms. ' Om: own Wiggins
'blames the teegraph, telephone, elec-
tric light and other wires for the
trouble; but there would seem to be
something wrong about this theory al-
so; as the cyclone regelon is but sparse-
ky supplied with electric wires, while
tire big cities which are almost hidden
tinder a net work of wires escape the
:Eery of the cycloneialtogether. Sri far
no satisfactory solution has been reach
ed, and the question of "What causes
cyclones?" remains what Lorci Dun-
dr'eary -would call, "One of those thing's
no fellow can understand"
THE OLD FLINT GUN:
Probably, few of the rising genera-
tion have ever seen, outside of a muse.
t ftint gun or pistol, such as used
by Wolfe's army on the plains of Ab.
raham, and with which Wellington
won all his great battles. The flint
gun Was driven from the armies of
abont sixty years ago, and
That, in titin, had to make way for the
Ireechloader,whic,h was adopted by the
Aritish the form of the Snider
' in 1865, The flint gttn was gen.
raflysupposed to have become a thing
sE the past; but it appears tt has Stir
-
yived with a persistence worthy of a
better cause, and. that no less than 35
men are constantly employed at Bran-
don, in Suffolk, manufacturing gun
flints, 80,000,000 of which have boon
made daring the last ton years and
shipped to "the Dark Continent," It
seems that when flint gulls were dis
carded by the Army they were sold off
"at an alarming sacrifice" 'to Savage
tribes in the interior of Africa, and it
is for them the flints are 111010. There
is a, touch of grim irony about arming
savages with a weapon which is likely
to do more harm te:the person lasing it
than to the person against whom it is
used, and which cannot for a moment
compete against the modern breech-
loader or the repeating
