The danger is really much gruver
than the public is generally aware. For
this reason the New York board of
health require signs to be pluccd in curs

Those who think that vital statistics

to be declining and degenerating ought
to read __Mr. Michael G. Mulbull's paper
in The North American Review and
reassure themselves.
Mr. Mulball points out some curious
facts in connection with birth and death
rates and marriage.
true that the birth rate of. all civilized
nations in declining. Since 1841 it has
fallen in Europe from an average of 38.8
to the 1,000 to 82, almost 2 per cent.
At the same time marriage rates have
, fallen 7,15 per cent. The only countries
in which they have not declined heavily
are Belgium and Italy, at once perhaps
the most and the least prosperous nu-
ticns of Europe.
Now, with both the birth and the
marriage rates falling oi! heavily, it
seems reasonable to suppose that the
population of Europe was declining. On
the contrary, the figures show that, in
Mr Mulliull’s words, “the natural in-
crease of population has proceeded with
greater rapidity since 1880 than ever
How can this be explained?
The reason is the lowered death rate of
This has fallen so much
that although the actual number 01
births has decreased the death rate has
decreased so much more that the actual
average of births over dcuths is larger
than it ever was before. There are twc
reasons for this, which Mr. Mulball
does not stop to point out.
better, sanitation among the civilized
peoples of today. The other reason it
obviously the decrease of war in Europe.
For 25 years there has been no war to
speak of in all Europe.
The writer tells us there are certain
unvarying laws in: the kingdom of vital
statistics. One is that the more mur-
ringes there are the smaller will be the
average number of children to the mar-
riage—tbut is to say, when marriages
are comparatively few. there will be
born to them)“ that do Wed s higher
average number of children than when
the marriage rate is high. As illustra-
tion, we find that while the marriage
rate of Belgium is the highest in Eu-
rope the uvcrage number of children born
to each marriage has sensibly increased
since 1880 in every country of Europe
except only Belgium. It seems somehow
that there are just so many children to
be born, whether the marriage rate be
higher law. In neurons of great agricul.
