It. is well known that the birth rate
In is given eogntry is one of the four
factors r'eiralating the growth of its
population, the other three factors
being the death rate, leamigratiun
land emigration. It has • also come
to be rncoguized in highly civilized
.countries that the marriage rate. or
relative number of marriages occur-
ring b a given year, is a trustworthy
Index of the national prosperity. We
find some interesting data relating
to the marriage rate and birth rate
in England during recent years in
the Fortnightly Review. The com-
piler of these statistics, Mr. John
dolt Schooling,, examines the period
from 1860 to 1888, and demonstrat-
es a remarkable correspondence be-
tween the :.uetuattion of the marriage •
rate of England auti Wales and the
fluctuation in the value of the ex-
ports of British produce per head of
population. That is to say, if there
is a rise in the value of exports,
there is a Corresponding increase in
the number of persons married per
one .tlnousaa:si inhabitants; if there is
e. fall in the value of exports, there:'
is a decrease in the numter of mar-
riages. TF -:o nzatriage rate is appre-
ciably less ciably .e. s ....aff
e.ted by lila price of
wheat or by the value of British im-
ports, or by the value of the total.
exports and imports of the United
Kingdom. While. however, there
was a net fall in England's mar-
riage rate during 1861 to 1800. this
has been followed by a net rise
eines:, 1800, notwithstanding the
fact that between that date and
1898 there wee a fall in the value of
exports every year except 1895 and
1896. :lir. Schooling dales not at-
tempt to explain this divergence
front the rule, but he would proba-
bly describe it as an accident.

there was a deedine in the fertility
of marriages -ed ural to r:t•arly
! fifty
children rer one hundred marriages.
Wlten we bear in rains! that mar-
riages in England and Wales are
now taking place to the extent of
over a quarter of a million yearly,
it is obvious that such a decline in
the fertility of a marriage as that
just mentioned means an immense
decrease in the total number of
children born of recent marriages, as
compared with the marriages of fif-
teen years ago. From 3801 to 141)6
there were 2,127.003 marriages in
England and Wales; the number
children produced or to be produced
by these marriages is, approximately
4,215,000. Had these marriages of
1801-1895 been as fertile on the
average as the marriages that oc-
curred during 1876-1880. the number
of children born would have been 4.-
700,000. In other words, there was
a loss in England and Wales alone
of no fewer than 485,000 children of
the marriages contracted during
1891-1895.
It is conceded that the decline in
the fertility of English marriages
during the last fifteen or twenty
years may be due in part to the mo-
dern tendency to defer marriage to
a Iater year of life than the average
marriage age in earlier sections of
the century, Mr. Schooling, how-
ever, does not think this circum-
stance sufficient by itself to cause
tine very notable loss in marriage
fertility during recent years, and he
seems inclined to attribute the phe-
nomenon to the aggregate effect of
individual intentions to restrain the
birth of children. If the latter
cause be really operative, it is point-
ed out that England, but for her
low death rate, would be approach-
ing the condition of France, where
the number of births is insufficient
to maintain the native population
and needs the help of immigration.
The average number of children pro-
duced by a modern French marriage
is under three. In England the num-
ber is now under four, with a mark-
ed tendency to become smaller. Dur-
ing recent years, indeed, the decline
of the birth rate has been more
marked in England than even in
France.

SECRF'r SERVICE FUND.
A secret service fund is voted year-
ly by the British Parliament for the
purpose of defeating conspiracies
against the State. Last year $65,
000 wasaid to spies
Pwho were em-
ployed for this purpose. For a copy
of a treaty between France and Rus-
sia, known, as the Treaty of Tilsit,
Great Britain once paid $200,000.
COST NOT EXCESSIVE.
The question of cost has not been
left out of account. Glass can be
made out of almost anything, amen-
able to the influence of fire. The
stone glass, to which reference has
already been made, is manufactured
mainly from what have hitherto been
regarded .as waste substances. The
slag heaps which disfigure mining
and iron districts are all convertible
into glass. Evidently the days 'of
bricks and slates are numbered.
Perhaps it might be possible in
connection with one of the many
projected exhibitions to construct on
a modest but seleicient scale a dwel-
ling of the kind M. Henrivaux de-
scribes. People would then be able
to experience the actual sensation of
walking along glass floors, of climb-
ing alass' staircase of beingsur-

I3IRT11 OF GENIUSES,
Mr. havelock Ellis finds that most
of our greatest geniuses have been
born in April and fewest in January
'.the numbers born in the first. sec-
ond, and fourth quarters of the year
are fairly equal, but there is a.
marked deficiency in the third quar-
ter. The ordinary birth-rate of Eng-
land and Wales is higher in the first
anti second but lower in the third
and fourth • quarters. About 15 per
cent. of the geniuses were delicate in
childhood, but. these .often developed
into healthy, vigorous, long-lived
men. Bruce, the traveller, was a
typical ease. Very delicate in early
life, he was a elan of huge propor-
tions, athletic power, and iron con-
stitution. Over 14 per cent. had lost
one or both parents by tee age of
ten.

A PIGEON'S GRIEF.
Henry Chapelle, pigeon breeder at
Verviers, died, and a, train of sor-
rowing friends and relations came to
bear his body to the grave. But as
the funeral procession was being
formed one of the pigeons fluttered
down to the coffin, on which it
perched. So, as the pigeon would
not be driven away, it was taken to
the cemetery, and here it stayed by
its dead master's tomb, neither mov-
ing nor eating till it died of starva-
tion.
