LOVE FOR BALLOONING, Miss Shephard is suffering from spinal paras lysis. She and Mias Gertie May, bér assistant, had a thrilling adventure, but neither is down-
bearted.
"I love ballooning, Miss Shephard said passionately. "I am as much at home, la sbe air as anywhere." "Won't your parrow escape damp your ardour ? "Oh, no ; you see I was 'all right.' It was my companion, Miss May, who first got into difficulties, and but, for her parachute refusing to open we should have des cended beautifully and been ready for analber performance to-day." |
Asked further as to her descent, Miss She phard said: I hardly know, I remember Miss May jumping on my knee whilst 1 sat in my
parachute. It was a during performance. She must have sprung five yards through spare at the height of two miles from the ground. Then as my parachute was only of sufficient size to Carry one we descended at a terriffic rate."
COUSIN MARRIÀGES,
PROFESSOR'S INQUIRIES ON TAXIR RESULTS
пр
An interesting investigation—the zoROUNCE. mant of which has caused much conespondence in the Morning Leader-luto the extent to which marriage of cousins prevails and ita. affects has been made by Prof. Karl Pearson, of University College. He publishes the results in the British Malical Journal. "
* Information concerning about (1,6co mar- ́ringes (of all kinds, not merely cousin-mar rlages) was sent to Prof. Pearson, in response. to his appeal to the readers of the British Me
| dical Journal a month ago for information,
He asked the readers to stato (1) whether their father's or mother's parents were cousins, (2) | whether they or their wives were cousins, and (s) whether any (and how many) of their brothers and sisters married cousins.
PROPORTION OF MARRIAGES.
The replies showed the following proportion of consin-marriëgës;||||
First cousin marriages, 469 per cent. Second cousin marriages, 1.59 per cent., Third cousin marriages, 0.25 per cent, Other cousin marriages, 1.13 per cent. This, on the surface, gives a percentage of 7.76 per cent, but the professor does not accept this) at the actual proportion, because he thinks that
