him start a country newspaper and

of the two will do it, sure.” —Exchange

A curious application of the Ronl
gen rays has been made in France by
Prof Buguet of Rouen, and the chem
ist, M. Discard. They took true and
’also diamonds f:r the experiment
uni obtained entirely different results.
When the rays vvt re applied to the false
diamonds only indistinct images ap
peared on the photographic plates
I’ll real diamonds, however, allowed
the rays to pass, and, as a result, much
darker pictures were produced on the
;>la.c<. Thus a certain method of
liscovcring the quality of diamonds is
assured.

Those who know, figure that the 72
races inhabiting the world communi
cate with each other in 3,004 different
tongues and have something like one
thousand religions. Men and women
ire nearly equal iu number and the
average longevity of both sexes is only
thirty-eight years, about a third of the
population dying before the age of
seventeen. According to accepted
computation, only one person in
100,000 of both sexes attains the age
of one hundred years, and only t> io 7
in 100 the age of sixty. The total
population of the earth is estimated
at about 1.200,000,(XX souls, of whom
35,214.000 die annually-i, e, an aver
age of 99.54S a day, 4,020 an hour,
and tYT a minute. The annual nuni
b-r of births, on the other hand, is
estimated at 30.792,000-i, e, an aver
a;e of 100,800 a day 4,200 an hour
and 70 a minute. Generally, taking
the entire world, married people live

ized races. Further, people of large
i liysiqu ? live longer than these of
small, but those of middle size teat
both.
