Are our Heads Getting smaIIe,


The question whether our heads
are smaller than those of our grand
fathers has been attracting particu-
lar attention in European scientific
circles during the last few weeks.
The subject was first agitated by
writer's for Nature, London, one OF
whom, Mr.. F. f. Tuckett, insists that
the average size of hats has decreas-
ed one size within the last twenty
five years, which means, if the critic
rion is to be trusted, diminution OF
three-eights of an inch in average
circumference. AS Mr.. Tuckett adj
duces in evidence of his assertion the
testimony of leading hatters in Lon
don, he is probably right, says the
New York Times, so for as that
part of the case is concerned.
But there are, as Mr.. Charles Rob-
erts explains, in rejoinder to Mr..
Tuckett, various reasons for the
average decrease in size of hats,
without accepting that gentleman's
views OF the cause. In the first place
men wear their hair cropped more
closely than they did years ago, and,
in the second, the fashion now is to
wear ones hat on the top of the
head, instead of pulling it down over
the ears, as was done by men of the
last generation. Again, the tall hat
is now worn by large class of per-
sons who are uniformly small-head-
ed, such as clerks and shopmen, who
formerly did not affect such luxu-
ry, while, on the other hand, many
persons OF the large-headed class,
clergymen and others. who wore
tall hats only years ago, have now
given them up, and prefer the soft
felt to the uncomfortable section of
stove-pipe once in vogue. The only
way to get at the truth would be to
examine the statistics of each class
separately, and to make an allow
ance OF a quarter of an inch for the
present mode of wearing the hat
and of cropping the hair. But if
Mr.. Tuckett's view is to be accepted,
then, while the head has lost in size
there has been a general gam in
weight and vigor of body; for COM
pairing the statistics of factory chill
dren i'll 1888 with those of 1873, in
England, it is found that children OF
ten years now are as tall of stature
and as heavy as children of eleven
years of age were forty years ago.
There is great variety, however in
the size o. heads among the intellect
ual ella 'ses in England. According to
Mr.. Tuckett, Lord Chelmsford wears
a 81 hat only, and the size OF some
prominent people he gives as fol-
lows: The late Dean Stanley, 81 !;
Lord Beaconsfield, z; the Prince OF
Wales, z; Charles Dickens, II; Lord
Selbourne, u; John Bright, u;
Lord Russell, Ct; Macauley, the his
torian, 7s; Mr.. Gladstone, %;
Thackeray, e; Louis Philippe, Il
NJ. Julien, the celebrated musical
director, a, and the archbishop of
York, 8. Tue prelate must possess a
head nearly "a inches in circum-
ference, while that of Dickens was
average, that of Thackeray beyond
the average, and the pumpkin head
of LOuis PhiliDpe was very large.
