around the frontal lobe and base of the brain,
being fully seven inches larger than the very
largest adult heads. From ear to ear, over the
top of the head, it measures twenty inches, and
its weight has been estimated to be twenty
pounds. The child's body has been decreasing
in size for some time, and is now SO much ema-
ciated that it is doubtful if it will outweigh the
head. The head is without doubt case of
hydrocephalus, it being soft to the touch, and
no traces of bone being found, except at the

PRovNcETowN. A Provncetown CORE
spondent of the New York Evening Post thus de.
scribes the tip end OF the cape:
1t is said that when Proyincetown was settled,
the inhabitants built their houses in irregular
order along the shore, and conented themselves
for time with a path along the beach in front
of their dwellings,. When the growth of the
| village necesSitated a road, this path was
| widened and used, and hence the narroWnesS
and crookedness of ProvincetOwus main street.
/ BE this as it may, the fact remains; and it does
/ not require a severe test of creduity to believe
the above story. Upon one side OF the street is
/ plank sidewalk, narrow TO compare with the
| street, which extends the entire length of the
| town. All of the business is done upon the
street and the wharls which debouch from it..
There are several short streets at right angles to
| the main thOrOughfare, and a new street paTal-
lei to it, but the first named is the street OF the
town.
The Pilgrims made Cape Cod their arst stop
ping place, remaining here during the month of
November, 1920. The Mayfower was the first
vessel TO drop an anchor in Cape Cod harbor.
The population is now four thousand, of whom
several hundred are Portuguese. The schools
number twelve. No one Is in danger of being
awakened by a steam whistle i'll the morning,
for there is no mandatory in the town. In
politics Provincetown is Overwhelmingly for
Grant There were about forty Greeleyites,
am told, but their cause is like their tag-wound
up. There is no house in which George Wash
ingtOn slept, nor any trees under which he
danced, for wonder Ii is a remarkable town.
in that respect, at least,
In the centre Of the town, back from the main
street, rises High hill, an emrnence that well
deserves the name, 1t is assembled by a winding
road, and when assembled well repays the labor
spent in climbing. Upon It's summit is the town
house. which also contains the high school,
Tins building is of oak, firmly braCed and
stayed so that it may withstand The severe gales
10 which 1t is often subjected. From its tower,
the view is grand in the extreme. Far away 10
sea the white-winged vessels may be seen, while
the eye may follow around the shore of the cape
until it is lost in the neighborhood of Boston
| From il, also, good view of the town and har-
| Dor may he had. We notice two tall and hand
some spires, both belonging TO Methodist
churches. Besides these there are small Congre-
cations of Congregationaiists, Uniyersallsts and
RomanistS. The town is wide awake on the
subject of Improvements. Last year $50 900
was expended on new street, and this wear the
inhabitants have taxed themselves two per cent,
the proceeds to be expended in improving the
Town. There is plenty OF enterprise here, and
in many respects the town is good pattern Tor
her more pIetentiouS neighbors. There is not
licensed grogshOp IN the village nor, in fact, on
the cape at all beyond Sandwich.

Cummings was sentenced TO this institution
in September last for a term of three years for
breaking and entering in Boston. He served
out term here some ten years ago for a SINH
lar crime, and since then has been in Sing Sing,
n. Y, prison I'VE wears for robbery.
The occupants of cells adjacent to Cummings
were aware of his plan, and they hoped to profit
by il, but the whole arrangement was blocked
by the vigilance of Warden Chamberlain and
his officers.
