Skulls OF Murtlerers.

One OF the most curious collections In
the great Anthropological Museum in tho
iarls exhibition of last year was colcc-
tlon OF thirty-six skulls of murdcrcrs who
havo been guillotincd in France. This COL
lection has been carefully studied by DR..
bournier, who has published tho result of
his studies in the last number Of Broca's 8
KeVuc d'Anthiopologie. The most strik-
ing result OF his observations is the very
large cubic capacity Of these cania In
fact, the average volume Of tho thirty. six
skulls, measured with shot by Broca's
method, Is as much as /, ,547,91 cubic CEN
timcters. Eliminating, however, ono of
the skulls, which is Of unusual size (2,676
cubic ccntimotcrs and is obviously nbnor-
mai, tho average Is reduced to 1851 cubic
centimetcrs. But even this figure ia con-
siderably higher than tho average OF any
ordinary series Of modern crania. In ordor
to lind skulls of equal capacity 1t is ncccs-
sary to 60 back to prehistoric times; thus
the capacity OF Solutre skulls Is 1918, and
that OF tho type from tho cave Of L'IIomme
Mort is J., ,908.5 cubic centimeters. The do.
volopmont of the murderer's skull Is not in
the frontal but in tho parieto- -occiptsl
region, and 1t appears to indicate a low in
tellcctual standard, with a strong tendency
TO powerful action. Most of the cerebral
characteristics presented by the skulls Of
these criminals are comparable with those
OF prehistoric races. A murderer may be
regarded as an anachronism, and his charac-
tor may bo explained on tho principal of
atayisln, or reversion to an early type. If
a prehistoric savage could be introduced into
modern society he would probably become
notorious criminal on the other hand, II
one OF the brutal murdcrers of modern times
had lived IL. prehistoric ages he might have
been chief Of his tribe, highly respected.

BALKf IlORSEs.-A society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals recon-
mcnds the following rules for the treat
mcnt of balky horses; Pat the horse
upon the neck, examine the harness
carefully, first on one side aud then on
tho other, speaking cncouragingly
while doing so; then jump into the wa
gon and give the word go. Generally
he will obey, a tcamster in Maine
says he can start the worst balky horse
by taking him out of the shafts and
making him go round in Il circle. If
the first dance Of this kind doesn't cure
him, the second one will be sure to do
il. TO curca balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and
shut of the wind till he wants to 90.
The brains Of horses seem to entertain
but one idea ut time; thus, continued
whipping only confirms his stubborn
resolve. IL you can by any means give
him new subject to think Of, you will
have no trouble in starting him. a
simple remedy is to take Il couple of
turns of stout twine around the fore
leg, just below the knee, and tic in u
bow knot. At the first check he will
go dancing oil, and, af or going short
distance, you can get out and remove
the string to prevent injury to tho ten
don IN your further drive.
