The mean general duration of human
life is between 35 and AZ years. The
natural limit Of human life is from so 10
so. Of all ew-born infants out of a
dies the first year; two.fiflhs scarcely attain
their 5th year; and before their a2d wear
one-half of the generation are consigned
to The grave. The proportion of births 10
marriages, on an average, and in a country
OF some extent, can scarcely be more than
5, or less than 3, to one marriage. The
ordinary proportion in the most civilized
countries of the world is births TO one
marriage. The proportion of births to
deaths is, one year with another from 1Ol
TO $50 for every 100. Taking the total
number of the human race at 700, 100000,
the ratio of the deaths to the living popula-
iion as to SO, and that of the births to the
living as 10 1884, we shall have for the
whole globe

Whence it follows that the sum total of tn
human race would IN one year be augment-
ed by an accession of9 ,5l6, ,692 individuals,
we're it not for wars and pesliences. This
augmentation would in one hundred years
create apopulation of 3,916, 100000. The
number of males in given number Of
births exceeds that of females in the ratio
of l6 TO Is; but the mortality is greater
among male children in the ratio of 27
to 26
