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, IIIIINIMMEMMINIMMACM112•11100.11.111 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 WA.
