Degeneration of the Teeth.

THE law of retardation exhibits itself in
the teeth of the higher races Of mankind in a
highly inconvenient manner" affirms writer
in Popular Science Monthly, explaining the
fact as follows: The greatly developed brain
requires all the available room in the skull :;
there is no space left for the attachment Of
muscles for powerful jaw. Cooked food
also causes degeneracy in the development
of the jaw. There is consequently no room
left for either the wisdom teeth of the second
upper incisors the wisdom teeth are retarded,
often cause great pain, and decay early. The
second incisors appear in startling and unex-
pected places, and often lin America especial
ly) do not cut the gum at all
Professor Cope says that American den
lists have observed that the third molar teeth
wisdom teeth are in natives of the United
States very liable to imperfect growth or
suppression, and to a degree entirely unknown
among savage or even many civilized races. ]"
The same suppression has been observed In
the outer pair Of superior incisors. This is
owing, not only to reduction in tho size Of
the arches Of the jaws. but to successfully
prolonged delay In the appearance OF the
teeth. In the same way, men and the man
like apes have fewer teeth than the lower
monkeys, and these again fewer than the
insectivorous mammals to which they are
most nearly allied. When this difference in
deutition has been established, civilized man
may claim to place himself in O new species,
apart from low savages as well as from high
apes.

THE BREAST STROKE.


use of the arms, but in the use of the legs. 10
is natural for every one to paddle with the
arms in the water, and this padding motion
is all that is necessary, although there are, Of
course, different degrees of grace displayed
But the difficulty is in the leg stroke. When
O novice is learning to swim he first strikes
out with his arm, and then follows with a
spaslnodic kick with the legs, at the same time
swallowing large mouthfuls Of water, as il he
would get rid of it by swallowing it.
Now the cause of this is that at the start
his legs are not drawn up close to his body.
He is so afraid of sinking that he doesn't dare
to keep still long enough to draw them up,
and yet this is the first thing to be done.
Then when he does kick, he kicks like mule,
straight out. He pushes against the water
with the bottoms Of his feet, whereas he
should push against the water with the tops.
Try this motion out Of the water by standing
on one foot and kicking with the other. Say
that you stand on your left foot Now draw
up your right foot, keeping your toe as far
back as possible pushing it out SO that the
line from your knee to the tip of your6ee
will be as straight as 1t can be made.
Now kick, but make no motion from back
to front, and at the same time out from the
side, so that you will strike, not with the sole
of your foot, but with the instep. BY study
ing the philosophy Of this motion, it will be
plain why the whole front of the leg, and es-
pecially the web part Of the foot, is such
valuable assistant In propelling the body.
Perhaps a better illustration of this move
ment is IN swimming on the back. Lying
fiat on the water, you draw up your legs, and
while they are drawn up, push the toes down
as far as possible. Then, in making the
stroke, you describe semi circle outward and
upward toward the surface Of the water.
Study the accompanying illustration, and
you will see how the stroke is made. To
many, swimming, like waltzing, comes ''all
at once, and nothing first" SO don't be
discouraged if you fail the first time, after
making unavailing efforts to gulp down a
river, bay or an ocean.

BALTIMORE Md, Oct THE first au-

running his prisoner through the train the

run for the jail. The Cass party fol-
lowed, shooting as they ran, but inflicted no
injuries on the fugitive.
At the Jail the sheriff had some trouble in
opening the gate, and Miss Cass who led her
father and brothers in the race, had dp-
preached within u few feet of Grafton when
she opened fire with revolver, wounding
ner lover in the arm.
Finally the sheriff succeeded in opening

brought about "A minister was sent for and

THE COMMERCE COMMISSION.
1t Renews It's Inquiry Into the Com
plaint or the Rock island.

1t Renews It's Inquiry Into the Com
plaint OF the Rock island.
CHICAGO Oct. 1.-The interstate COM
merce commission renewed its inquiry this
morning into the complaint of the Chicago ~
Rock Island railroad against the Chicago ~
Alton for quoting an ppauthorized joint rate.
The testimony In support Of the charge was
mostly in form of unsubstantated rumors.
Chairman Midgley. of the Western Freight
ASSOCIATION, gave the origin of the stop over
privilege for stock and grain at Kansas City,
and in answer to questions disclosed the fact
that from period of ten days originally, it
had been subsequently extended to thirty
days, later to six months, and finally adj
mitted that grain has been shipped on bills
four years old
r. G. Mayley, JOINT agent of the Western
Freight ASSOCIATION at Kansas City, occupied
nearly two hours dodging questions and tell
ing rumors. He had heard, according to
these rumors, that not only the Alton, but
the Rock Island and st. Paul roads were
guilty OF leasing cars. The rumorS could
not be untaugled, and the matter was sub
mitted TO the commission
During the afternoon Judge Cooley de-
livered his opinion on the right of the Inter-
state Commerce Railway association to an
tlcipate rate cutting and TO make charges
as it has done against the Alton. The opn-
ion says in substance that the commission
docs not care TO pass upon the question now
so far as to express any opinion upon the
reasons given for it. sin this case we think
it advisable that the members of the associa-
ton, or some of them, should be the parties
to complain, instead of using the association,
and we give leave to amend the complaint in
that manner"
Regarding the complaint itself, which
alleges unfair discrimination in live stock
rates between Chicago and Kansas City and
the country beyond, Judge Cooley said a
prima facie case having been made out as to
the American Live Stock association, a
showing of its railroad contract would be
required. The hearing will be had at Wash
ington,
