A writer in a German contemporary makes the following startling calculations à propos Prince Bismarck's roount great posh in the Reichstag, The Chancellor spaka for nearly two hours, and to his speech wore listening En- rop, Ateerios, Australia, part of Asia, and at least the British part of Africa. If the popula tion of Europe is estimated at 339 millions, and it is supposed that mary children an illiterato perauis have at all events heard allusions to la spealt, it is no overestimation to say that pho 165,000,000 Europeans formed Bismarck's audi ence. In Amarica, at least a third of the popola tion-that is to say, over 17.000.000--478 read the speeck, and South Amerios has perhaps i contributed 10,000,000 readers. In Japan, China, and India, representing Asia-st-last-55,000,000|-~ATION: inhabitants have read or heard of the speech; in Australia half of the population of 4,00,000, and ia South Africa at locat 3. 00,000, are sure to have read the speech. This abows that the Chancellor had an audience at no Iss than 201 millions, and it ruay be suid without fear of en tradiction that never yet any mog on earth has had so large an audience, and one which listen with such broathless attention-to his words, and even Napoleon's bulletins after the Mese ar catastrophe are insignifernt ex compared to the affects of Bismarck's speech.
At the last meeting of the Anthropological In stitute, Professor Flower, C.B., Director of the Natural History Mason, gave a description of the two skeletons of Akkas, Jatoly obtained in the Monbuita country, Central Africa, by Jin Paria. They are those of fully grown-up people, male and female. The evidence they afford en ticely corroborate the view proviendly derived from external measurements that the Aldous a among the smallest, if not actually the smallest, upon the earth. The height of neither of them exceeds 129 metres, or 4 feet, while & living female Akka, of whom Brain Pasha line sent careful measuremenia, is only 1-164 metree, or barely 3 feet 10 inches. The results previously obtained from the measurements of about half-s- dozen living Akkas are not quite so low these, varying from 1416 to 1420 metrer, and give an average for both sexes of 1'356, or 4 fest. insoles. But the numbers monsored 'are not Bumoient for establishing the trae average of the Taco, especially as it is not certain that they were all pure bred examples. According to Topinard's list; thero aro only two known res which have a mean höight below 1,600 metre- amely, the Negrite of the Andaman Islands (1-478) and the Bushman of South Africa (1401), Of the real height of the former we have hun=" dant and exsed evidence, both fron-ring dividual and from skeletons, which clearly proves
