A native white hoy ha by now bna nt birth one chance In two of living to the ago of Blxty. So it lias been discovered by S. L. Rogers, director of the census, from an nnnlyniS of the vital Btntistles of ti'o New England, northern und mid die states. At tho end of his first year the baby bus n trltle better than an even chance of reaching sixty-four., lie has oue cbnnce in two of attaining seventy un der the same conditions. A girl at. birth bra uu even chance of living n few months past sixty-four. At twenty-two lier chance of reaching seventy is au even one. Thus n native white male at forty two and a native female ot twenty-two huve nbout the same chance of cele brating their seventieth birthdays. On his first birthday the chance that the boy or girVtvlll die witldu the com? lug yeqr is only nbout one-fourth as great ns it was at birth. The rate con tinues to decrease until the twelfth year. The healthiest time la the life of the average native is between, his or. her eleventh and twelfth blrt?day.' When the man groWS to be forty-eight his chance of living; is just what It was in his third year. - When he Is sixty-two ids chance Is as it'was on hln second birthday. In its first year of life tho I o New Yorker'a chance for reaching nls sec ond birthday is nearly one-fifth less than if he lived in the country part of that state. Thus at birth the country boy In tho Empire. State has an expec tation of 7.7 years more ofllfe than tho boy in "Cow York city, until b" is thirty nlno. Tho country man ha& more than five years better chance ot life than bis metropolitan cousin. Not until the New Yorker ht eighty eight is his chance of living longer bet ter in the city than in the country. TO HAVE ACRES OF BIRDS. Millionaire Banker Will Convert Estate Into Model Sanctuary.
