In like manner we find the price of several hours, one day, or several days. To find wages at $13, $14, $15, $16, or more, per week, find the amount at $6.50, $7, $7.50, $8, etc., and multiply by 2. 1.66% 1.83% 2.00 3.33% 3.66% 4.00 5.00 15.50 6.00 All these collectively are estimated to speak 3.064 languages, and to possess about 1,000 different forms of religion. The amount of deaths per annum is 33,333,333, or 91,954 per day, 3.730 per hour, 60 per minute, or 1 per second. This loss is compensated by an equal or greater number of births. The average duration of life throughout the globe is thirty-three years. One-fourth of its population dies before the seventh year, and one-half before the seventeenth. Out of 10,000 persons only one reaches his hundredth year, only one in 500 his eightieth; and only one in 100 his sixtieth.
