The English Head.

DIR. Beddoe read paper before that
exceptionally serious body, the British
Naturalist Society, and what DIR. Beddoe
was after in his paper was to prove that
English peoples heads have been stead
lily getting ittler and lttler right straight
along during the past five and twenty
years; to prove ''the gradual diminution
of the dimensions of the human head in
this country in the last quarter of CEN
tury"-as he put it in his solemn old
scientific way. Now, DR.. Beddoe is not
at all person to be trified with in any
matter relating to bones Twice has he
been President of the Anthropological
Society; he has written a book on the
"Stature and Bulk of Man on the British
Isles" and he 'thas largely applied the
numerical method to ethnology." In con-
Quoting his present researches he seems
to have measured terrible lot of heads
in order to get the thing settled; and the
result of all his measurements being
added up and then divided by the total
of the heads measured warrants him In
making the shocking announcement that
"the average shrinkage is one-seventh OF
an inch" We gather that DR.. Beddoe
means not that the English head has
fallen in seventh of an inch each year,
but that it has fallen in that much in
the whole "quarter of century," But
this is bad enough. The average head
is ten inches thick; and so it is easy
enough to see that if the English people
keep on shrinking at their present rate,
at the end of just ,750 years there will
not be a man, woman, or child in the
Kingdom with any head at all. This is
applying the numerical method to eth
nology" with a vengeance.-Philadel-
