[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."1

Siu,—The Statistical Society has recently published figures on this subject that may answer Mr. Brittan's question. They were recently referred to in the Journal of the Royal Society of Arts. I am sorry that I have sent my copy away, so cannot give the exact date, but it was three or four weeks ago.—I am, Sir, &c., WILSON NOBLE. [The figures in question are to be published in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society for December 1911.—En. Spectator.]
