of veterans under command of General !

Genealogical Investigations.

Only IL short time ago the opinion was
expressed by Virchow that all alleged
modes of distinguishing the skulls of the
sexes are worthless. According, how
ever, to the laterresearches of DR.. Them
Cottbus, a genealogical criterion of sex
is by no means impossible. The ostym-
panicum. he says, forms part of the pos
terror wall of the glenoid cavity of the
inferior maXillary and also closes i'll
front of and below the bony meatus of
the ear.
1t arises perpendicularly from the
petrous portion of the temporal bone pos
teriorily and turns backward in wom-
IN ut about half the height of the mas
told process, but i'll man at less height.
In the male the bone develops Il sharp
edge, which divides to form the sheath
of the styloid PROCESS, but III woman
this sharpened edge does not exist. the
bone is rounded into tubercular form.
and the fossa is shallower and tatter.
Thus, in the male this 'fossa-tvmpar,
ico-stylomaStoidea' is small, and the
postcrior wall OF the glenoid cavity cx-
tends so deep that it is not possible for
the condyloid process to slip over it. In
the female it is SO much more spacious
that this feature alone will serve to dis
tinguish the crania of one sex from the
other

Graphic Picture OF Thrilling Scene on the
New York Stock Exchange.
"No wonder these men die early and
suddenly"
The remark came from the lips of n
gentleman standing by my side in the
gallery of the Stock Exchange on the
memorable day when Cordage dragged
down men and market.
True enough" replied his companion
as he turned away with a sigh, 81
wouldn't go through that strain again for
million."
The roar OF 200 voices wellcd up from
the turbulent mass of men below. Lean
ing over the rail, saw men struggling
and fighting and gesticulating and shout
ing and wildly rushing to and fro.
Flushed and white faces, arms extended
toward heaven as if in despair-fists
clinched in imprecation-handsc lasped
i'll entreaty. Not singly, but in scores,
and Ill dozen places at once. Strong
men rushed upon these groups and bore
down the weak, and all caught at each
others Threats as if they would tear
money from their vitals.
Dante must have witnessed such n
picture of hell. 1t was as if we peered
into seething lake of fire and brim-
stone and witnessed the torment and
heard the wall of the damned turned
from the sight with feeling of faint
ness and disgust. These We're but hui
man wolves rending each other for gold.
And l saw around me other men and
women packed four deep in the great
gallery. In the faces of many of these
was the reflected anguish of some of
those below. They chung to the rail for
hours, and some had eyes bloodshot with
weeping and watching and encircled
with dark rings of sleepless nights.
There We're young men Of fashion whose
fortunes were involved and who stared
honest work in the face as if it were dis
graceful death. Tenderly nurtured wo-
men, daughters and wives and mothers,
whispered excitedly in each others ears
or looked down upon the scene with
drawn faces that indicated the terrible
suspense.
One bejeweled woman, who had the
appearance of one who had just come
from some aristocratic function. sat in
chair i'll the otherwise empty boardroom
i'll state of collapse. No one paid any
attention TO her, and as 1 passed saw
her press her hot eyeballs with her be-
diamonded hand. And there were men
here with lowering brows and revengeful
looks and murder i'll their hearts. Some
cursed the names OF those who had i'll
volved them i'll ruin, but silent We're
those who were most to be piticd. These
were the victims of speculation.
And many of those who thus suffered
i'll body and mind were really uninjurcd
by the slump i'll the market. But ut that
moment many believed this was only the
beginning of the end-the forerunner of
grand panic. No man knew where it
would end. When cold blooded operators
on the floor lose their heads, how can it
be expected that investors III the galleries
could remain unconcerned? And SO it
came to pass that i'll the dread uncer-
tainty of the hour hundreds suffered the
pangs of financial ruin who eventually
found that they We're uninjured.-

making total of 1927 original certifl-
Gates issued under the act of June 81, 1890,
