Up to 1894 it fuctuated between 2.5) and 3.61 per centų, and since then it has been continually in creming. Since 1897 the rate has never fallon below 3 per cent. [This is doubtful, as will be seen by the figures given in our lead- ing article] The comparatively low rate of births for 1y04-5 in no doubt due to the effects fe of the war with Russia. No later statistics are

available as yet, but there can be li;tis question. that the birth-ctate has been steadily on the increase since the restoration of peace. The increase in the number of married people is no ́doubt responsible for the swelling of the birth rate, as Thoma in the following official consus
