Average Mortality of all Mankind.—
The population of the whole earth has been variously estimated between eight hundred and a thousand millions of souls. If we fix upon an intermediate number, say 946,080,000, and assign 39 years for the continuance of each generation, we shall find that the “ children of men” come into the world and go out of it at the following average: — Every Moment 1 Minute 60 Hour 3,600 Day, 24 hours 86,400 Week, 7 days 604,800 Month, 30 days 2,592,000 Year, 356 days 31,536,000 Generation, 30 years.. 946,080,000
