Do Men Grow Until they are Thirty
London Post.

At meeting of the Statistical So
ciety last evening a pa per on "Statis-
teal Observations on the Growth of the
Human Body Males in Height and
Weight from Is to 80 years of age, as
illustrated by the records of the Bor-
ough Jail of Liverpool" by Mr. j. I.
Danson, was read. He said About
twenty years ago had occasion to Wis
it the Borough jail at Liverpool Hav-
ing got access to the jail records, |
found them, on examination, quite
worth the labor to be given to them
and selected the figures relating to the
years 1857 and 1858 as likely to afford a
fair sample of the new material thus
made available. From these figures I
found that only inference of any value
could with any degree of certainty be
deduced; that doing that the men thus
passed under examination did not on
an average attain their full weight
much, if at all, before 80 years of age.
A certain persistent irregularity in
duced me to refer, with some hope of
an explanation, to a suggestion made
some years before by NJ Mil
lot. French statist. After a
careful examination of the fig
CURES resulting during long
series of Yeas from the measurement
of the annual draft of conscripts in
that country, he had observed that the
men of the same age, brought forward
in successive years, differed considera-
bly, in sheir average height, and on
comparison of these returns with those
of the annual prices of corn in the To-
calities in which these men were born
and reared he observed some coinci-
dence of deficient height in the con-
scripts with high prices in the years of
their CESSATION and infancy. This led
him to the conclusion that wherever a
deficiency occurred it might be due to
early want of sufficient nutriment and
thence to defective harvests. The pris-
oner on entering the jail Is taken to
room kept for the purpose and Is there
registered. As part of this process he
is put on to a broad metal plate near
the level of the floor. As he depresses
this plate his weight is indicated on a
lever, and projecting arm, sliding on
a metal bar behind him till it touches
his head, marks his height on the bar.
The weights are taken to pounds and
the heights to quarters of an inch, and
are at once, with other particulars, re
corded in book close at hand Until
January. 1878, the prisoners were meas
ured in their foot-covering, whatever
that might happen 70 be. At that date
the practice was changed by tax
ing off their boots or shoes while be-
ing measured. So much for the
probable accuracy of what We are
told as to the height and weight OF
these men. Tables were then given of
heights and weights taken between

New Ofk W GRID.
Mr.. Davitts running into arrest was
another blunder. A suicide is not a
martyr Davitt knew the risks he was
running when he appeared in Ireland
as an agitator, and must have known
that the first excitement in the English
mind on the Irish question would cause
his re-arrest. If his agitation was sue
cessful, that is to say, it would cost him
his liberty. A man who puts his head
into the lions mouth must be his own
accident insurance company. The
British lion is in general good-natured
and tolerant beast, it must be owned, in
his demeanor toward Irish lion tanners
and it must also be owned that Davitt
tried his tolerance to the utmost. He
might have kept his head in the lions
mouth and gone on twitching toe lions
whiskers at Dublin with impunity il
Mr. Parnell and his associates had not
been contemporaneously engaged In
twisting the tail of that long-sufferlng
animal at Westminster. 1t was this lat
ter process which finally irrated the
lion into closing his languid jaws upon
Mr.. Davitt. And Mr.. Davitt can sea- ce-
