New York, Sept. 6-Among the new hu-
man interest books being brought out will
be one telling character from the ear by
a complete and most scientific system. Odd
things have been written about ear read
ing, but the new book will have all the
diverse facts brought together to make a
complete work upon the study of the ear.
Its size and shape are as important in
character reading as the size and shape
of the head.
The most beautiful ears are pious ears.
shells, and, singularly enough, not un-
like them. The most perfect contour and
the most delicate depths are found in
these ears. and the loveliest tints.
A perfect ear should have decided rim
and a depression at the top of the side
nearest the face. This should be very
pronounced An ear that is fiat here is
The ear of Martinelli, the new papal dele
gate, is the most typically pious ear. 1t
is perfect in shape, like the ear of
Michael Angelo saint. And its only de-
feet, from an artistic standpoint, is a thick
lower lobe, which means great deal of
business ability. A pious ear with business
ability suggests a queer combination. But
/ l.. nh
pope, whose pious ear artists never tire
of drawing, is lacking in the thick lower
lobe But his holiness is not expected to
be business man."
An ear that all tapers towards business
is that of John D. Rockefeller. The mental
portion of any ear is the upper part If
! the ear is broad and spreading at the

means business. ability in a concentrated
| degree. Nearly all men who have come
from the desk to aff1uence have these broad
ears at top, tapering to very thick, mar
row lobes.
| The ear of our illuStrious visitor Ii Hung
Chang stands out in bold relief against his
shaver head. 1t is good ear with certain
peculiarities.
1t has the very thick outside rim This
!
side rim on his ear will believe all he
hears and will be most obstinate in follow

and will be ruled by words rather than by
judgment.
Lii Hung Chang is saved by the depth of
/ his ear and it's perfect inside markings.
There are good depressions around the ear

business lower lobe is well developed and
there is the honest" clause. This is the
| bringing up of the lobe upon the side of the
| face.
| 1t is not fair to say that all honest men
can point 10 a high lobe standing well to-
| ward the cheek. But all men who have
this lobe are honest. 1t means uprightness
| of character. Very truthful persons have
| the lobe almost grown fast to the cheek.
1t comes from long-continued heritage

on with this big adherent lobe you may

trary to his disposition by some strange

Nansen's ear shows the lack of the
business ability. There is no lobe and
the rim extends all around the ear. If
hansen could have had the business hole
he would have been made independently
rich out of that expedition that took him
to within degrees of the pole. He would

manded a thousand for every degree he
traversed beyond what man has done.
There is another bad thing about the
hansen ear. 1t lacks balance. There is
a piece bitten out of the common sense
spot Common sense is "a mixture of
mentality and morality. The mentality
of the explorer is one-sided and the
morality has hicks in it. This means that
the ear belongs to man of one idea. A
man who could not be fair and equabe
judge if he were paid a million a year
to sit upon the bench. 1t is not a good
ear for man to have unless he has
saving trait connected with 1t. That trait
is the closeness of the ear to the head.
Cranks have these irregular defective
mental and moral ears standing far out
from the center of thought. Nansen's
hug close to it, Let mans ear be ever
so bad in its markings, yet if it lies
close to the head it is all right for him.
An ear that stands out is the ear of
Nikola Tesla Tesla has the obstinate
credulous, thick outside rim, and he
has the business lower lobe. So far he
would be mere business man. But thar
turning out of the ear makes him a ge-
MUS. Stand poor ear out, and you have
a crank.

The Mckinley ear denotes attention to
details A man when he hires a clerk
should look at his ear and see If it. is a
distinct ear There are ears that LOOK
wavy in outline and depth. They are
characterless to look at. But the ear that
attends to details is perfect in rim, in

beautiful, but they are not the ears of
Milo whose delicately thin ears, almos,

The Bryan ear is business ear from
the fat lobe. 1t has brilliancy in 1t, and
its owner is equally divided in nature
between the mental and moral senses.
He is a trihe more brainy than philo-
