The Health of the Navy.
One man in the British Nevy died for every day of last year. The 365 deaths reported represent, however, a lower proportion than that recorded during the previous year, and the health of the Navy, according to a Blue book issued last month, is considered satisfactory. The decrease in the number of cases on the sick list during the year was 85.23 per 1000. There were 75,351 cases entered, the strength of the Navy being returned at 108,740. The number of men invalided was 2322, and of these 1963 left the service.
