Degeneration of the Human Teeth.

From Popular Science Monthly.
The law of retardation exhibits itself i'm the
teeth Of the higher races of mankind in highly
inconvenient manner. The greatly-developed
brain requires all the available room i'm the
skull; there is no space left for the attachment
Of muscles of powerful jaw. There is couse-
quentiy no room left for either the wisdom
teeth or the upper incisors; the wisdom teeth
are retarded, often cause great pain, and decay
early. The second incisors appear in startling
and unexpected places, and often Tin America
especially do not cut the gum at all Prof.
Cope says that American dentists have OBJ
served 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 a reduction
in the size of the arches Of the jaw, but to sue
cessively prolonged delay in the appearance of
the teeth. In the same way, men and the man.
like apes have fewer teeth than the lower mon
keys, and these again fewer than the insectivo-
rous mammals to which they are most nearly
allied. When this difference in dentition has
been established, civilized man may claim TO
place himself in . new species, apart from low
sayages as well ~ from high apes.

Tfe Anarchists Again.

CHICAGO. Ill, May 1O.-It is re.
ported that the anarchists propose to
flood the sity with infammatory cir.
culars on Decoration day. That date
was decided upon for the formal un.
yelling Of the poiicemen's monument
in the Heyma7ket. Two hundred
Thousand hand bills printed in German
and English, worded much after the
style of the circular recently received
by Chief of Police Hubbard are, it is
ssid, being printed for distribution.
The police authorities, however, are
well informed regarding the move
ments of the anarchists, and even il
they cannot succeed in stopping the
printing of the circulars which, it is
said, is being done in private houses
much after the system In vogue
emUng the Russian nihilists, they can,
under the municipal ordinance, arrest
all PERSONS found distributing them
in the streets or in other public places.

A Horrible Scene.

The righteous sentence of offended
justice was unrighteously carried out
by the strangulation of three of the
Bald Knobbers-Dave Walker, Will
liam Walker and John Matthews,
Friday morning at Ozark, Mo. 1t was
q wretched bungling butchery. At 10
q. m. the self-constituted regulators
of morality were brought out and the
nooses attacked to the murderers
necks, when the droo fell the ropes
broke, and let the wretched men down
to the ground. The condemned men
were picked up and carried to the
gallows and again hung by their
pecks at 1910, where the life was
choked out of their writhing and
struggling bodies. Dave Walker
struggled for life for Is minutes
John Matthews thirteen minutes and
William Walker for fourteen minutes
before they died. Although they
richly deserved death such fortunes
are 9 disgrace to the State.

Jay C. Sexas, weIlknown bush

cal fraternity of this city. Within
the last month his right leg has
grown from three to four inches long
.er than the left one and Mr. SeSas is
compelled to use crutches in order to
move to and from his place of business
MIR. Sexas was, previous TO four
months ago, hale and hearty man,
over whose head not over thirty-five
summers had passed. About that
time he began to notice that one of
his limbs was longer than the other
and also felt queer sensation in the
muscle of that member. He immed-
lately consulted physician, who was
completely baftied over the progress
of the curious disease. The physician
called in several of his brother prac-
titioners, who were as greatly SUI
prised and alarmed over the new-ar-
pearing disease as the physician in
charge had been.
Several consultations were held
during which time the limb continued
to grow in length. 1t was finally de-
.cided to send one of the physicians
East to New York hospital, for the
purpose of making inquiries as to
what the disease was, or whether
there had ever before any thing of
the same Eaturs. The physician, after
long and careful inquiry, learned that
there had been only one case of the
hnd-reported to the New York insti-
buttons or the world at large. That
case was somewhere in the East, and
after the great medical experts had
examined it, it was pronounced as a
case of paralysis of the hip. Mr..
Sexas' trouble is pronounced precise
~ the same as that of the Eastern
patient, and 1t is understood that the
physicians are now engaged in treat
jng it as paralysis.

Peculiar idea Ab.u. R.,,.,on.

J.. A student deeply versed in eoclssias-
tical matters recently advanced . very
peculiar idea while convsrsinS with a
friend. He said that tho established
religion Of q country owed ih princi-
pal doctrines less to faith than to the
conditions of it's climate and surround
ings. Ho cited the beautiful religion
Of the natives Of India, who would not
cat anything that had once lived, b.
cause, while all could take away life,
only One could give It. he argued
that q religious belief like that could
only have it's origin In an intensely
hot climate Like that Of India, whore
animal food is not necessary to sus-
tain life. Among tho Laplanders such
Q religion could never obtain, beoause
It. was absolutely necessary for the

certain heat. Nothing but animal fat
could do that.-New York 6un.

Tho Values OF Diamonds,

Values OF diamonds never change.
Like pure gold they have a fixed
value. Their prices change with the
dealer and his opportunity for their
sale. Then again the price of dia-
monds is largely affected by their
quality and color. A stone that shows
sand cracks is rated low. A diamond.
however perfect, If of yellowish hue,
is not highly priced. There are stones
OF q reddish tint which are very beau
hful, but the pure white diamond out
ranks them all. The test of the white
diamond is that it shall be perfectly
invisible when immersed in a yisi Of
eaepaieally pure water, such as is col
lected from condensed steam. A dia,
mond is perfectly indestructible and is
seldom, IT ever, lost to the world. If
the owner should lose a stone another
person finds it, and the quantity of
gems goes on steadily increasing.-

Countin1 the Nfof.s.

Counting the dancing notes in a
bar OF sunlight sounds like one of
those hopeless, never ending tasks
with which malignant fairies delight
to break the spirit of little heroines In
the German folk stories. Something
moro than this, however, has been
achieved by modern science, which is
now able to count the particles float
ing In any given portion of the at
mosphere and determine what propor.
ton Of these arc dangerous germs and
what are mere dust. DR.. Frankland's
curious experiments have shown us
how to cunt the mioro-organisms,
and now John Aitken, of Faflzirk. by
q totally different method, has been
enabled TO take stock of the moro
harmless but hardly less interest
ing dust notes. Thirty thousand
such particles have been detected by
him in the thousandth of q cubic inch
OF the air of q room. In the outside
atmosphere In dry weather the same
measurement of air yielded 2,119.
whereas, after a heavy rainfall, the
number was only b21. That this
power Of prying into atmospheric
secrets will eventually yield very inn
portant results must Be obvious to all.
Among the most curious discoveries
already made is the direct relation be-
tween dust particles and fogs, mist
and rain. Daily New.

Help for Deserving People.

OF the family and Of their expenses and

to do this, and if the family were IL,

In reality there Is nothing in the
