Elouard Cuyer set forth at a recent
session Of tho Transiormists Of Paris,
says a correspondent Of the ST. Louis
Globe-Demoerat, the latest view Of
the eyolutonist as to the origin Of
facial expression in man. His lecture,
as summarized In a bulletin OF the
societe d'Antoropologie, contains the
following: Muscles about the mouth
help 10 produce expressions of sad
ness, contempt aud disgust, this last
when the lower lip droops and curls.
These expressions the lecturer traced
to the involuntary effort to eject dis
agreeable things from the mouth.
Our ancestors we're children, so to
speak, aud the civilized babe Of today,
on finding a bitter object in the
mouth, first draws down the corners
OF the lips, then turns the lower lip
outward to help eject the disagree
able thing, and as final resource
thrusts out the tongue to expel the
offending bitterness We retain, to
express extreme disgust and hatred,
this thrusting out Of the tongue.
Amusement or pleasure is expressed
by a smile that widens the mouth and
raises it at the corners The cheeks
are rigid at the same time, and there
are raylike marks about the eyes. The
smile of pleasure, which begins thus
with the opening OF the mouth, is
traced to the Joy of our savage an-
cestors at the prospect of being fed.
1t is a selfish JOY, and NJ. Cuyer is
eynieol enough to believe that most Of
our smiles are the result of a gratified
selfshness We welcome our friends
with a smile that as much as anything
else, perhaps, expresses our selfish
pleasure in anticipation of diversion
or at the secret thought of our own
eleverness which is to entertain the
visitor. Often our smiles are Of self
complaisance or condescension, and
then there are the smiles of defiance,
which are simply survival of the IN
genial way in which our savage an
cestors grinned in order to show a
formidable array of teeth to an
enemy.

Nerves and sky-scrapers.

A nervous condition, bordering on
prostration, to which the doctors have
not as yet given a name, has lately
been observed to affect persons who
work many hours a day high up in the
modern sky.scrapers. The ailment re-
sembles nervous prostration, except in
the principal symptom, which is
condition Of intense restlessness, aud,
as one of the victims to the new com
plant expressedit, "a singular desire
to scream or to get down to the earth
quickly"
A sensation of relief is noticeable
when the patient is taken to grass, so
to speak, which leads some physicians
to the belief that the change in the
rarity of the air, slight as it is, has a
peculiar effect upon certain very sensi-
tive organizations. Others think that
the constant trips in the elevators
cause slight disarrangement of the
nerve centers, which brings on the
condition referred to. In any case,
there is no doubt that new ailment
has come among Us with the advent of
the sky-scraper New York Journal.

Freak Pottery.
enemy.

Under this heading an eminent
scientist Describes what he calls freak
pottery, In explorations aud inves-
legations of the mounds of Florida
very large quantities OF peices of pot
terry are found. 1t is evident that
they were broken before being buried
with their owners, and that there
must be some reason for breaking
them. The freak, or ceremonial pot
terry, the latter name being supposed
to describe the articles more accurate
ly, appears to have been made for the
purpose of burying with the dead.
They are pierced with holes before
they are baked, and were evidently
useless for the porpose of ordinary
dishes According to traditions ex-
sisting among some of the tribes, it
is believed that the vessel had a sort
of spirit, and that it must be broken
or pierced with holes in order to lib
crate the spiritual essence. This ac-
counts for the broken pottery and
vessels so frequently found in Indian
tombs. New York Ledger.

Titles New in Dispute.

WARRINGTON, December 1.-The case of the United States versus the Southern Pacific Company and others will probable soon come up in tho Supreme Court of the United States. It involves the title to and possession of 700, ,00O acres opposite to and ceterminous with 6 portion of the Southern Pacific Railroad from Tehachapi Pass by way of Los Angeles to Yuma on the Col. orado river. The railroad company claims the land by virtue of it's succession to the rights of the Texas Pacific Railroad Company; to which the grant was originally made, and under that claim has sold parcels of it to about 10000 purchasers, who are conceded to be bona-tide settlers.
 The Government contends that the lands in dispute were granted to the Atlantic and Pacific Rail- road Company and were overlap ped by the location of the Texas and Pacific line. In 1886 the grant to the Atlantic and Pacific Company was forfeited for failure to comply with the conditions imposed. The Government con- tends the Southern Pacific Com pany, successer to the Texas and Pacific, is 6 trespasser, and asks that the title of the United States to the lands be q1ieted and that the Government receive from the railroad company $2.50 an acre for all tracts sold to bona-fde set tiers, whose titles shall also be quieted in them.
 The Circuit Court and the Court of Appeals both gave judgment for the United States, and now the Supreme Court of the United States will pass upon the matter.

RAILWAY travel in Arizona is evidently quite conducive to son. nolency. The other night two prisoners, destined for Yuma, were put on board a train at Phoenix in charge of three deputy sheriffs. It does seem that one of these off, cials might have watched the pri- soners while the other two slept. But all three of them had evidently been up all night looking for the air-ship. for they all fell asleep, and the two convicts made their escape. There should be some punishment for such negligence.- {, 4. Times.

THE Yuma SENTINEL has com- pleted its twenty-sixth year, of .52 weeks each. Itis the third (living) oldest paper in the Territory to-day. The Arizona Miner was frts issued monthly, and the writer helped its nominal editor and publisher, 6 Mir. Hand, get out the first issue, on the 9th day of March, 1864, at Fit. Whipple, subsequently, named Camp Clerk, and now known as Chino Valley. We set type on the Arizona CttSssn beginning January 12th, 1871, at that time a weekly fve-column' folio, owned and edited by John Wasson. In the winter of '7S"and "A we had charge of the mechanical depart n1ent of the Arizona SENTINEL, then owned by James M. Barney, but edited by Judge W.J Berry. Berry was formerly from Oregon, where he had a shooting scrape over some domestic trouble, and came to Ari- zona for change of climate" Berry was the first register of the land office appointed for Arizona, with office at Prescott.
 For many years past John W. Dorrington has owned and edited theSENT1NEr; and the only harm we wish our old, friend Darlington IS that he may continue to guide the destinies of the SENTINEL for countless years yet to come.-Phoc. mir: PopuJst.

REMARKABLE FEAT OF THREE
 SISTERS.
They Swim a Distance of Four and Q Half Miles in Two Hours and
 Ten Minutes.

The following article is taken from the San Francisco Chronicle: The three Polhamus sisters-Agnes, Lena and Carrie-performed a feat this afternoon that has never been at- tempted by any other athlete, boy or glrl, in this city. They are 'buxom and strong young women, rosy with health and born sailors. They be- came locally famous as the organizers of the Zlac Rowing Club, where they showed great proficiency in rowing. To-day they added to their saltwater laurels by swimming clear from the Silver Gate bathhouse, San Diego, to the National City wharf, 8 distance of four and half miles. There had been some talk for several days past of the possibility of accomplishing such feat, and when their friends said it could not be done the Polhamua girls determined to do it.
 Miss Fishburn and Miss Jessie Haight, captain of the Columbia Rowing Club, met with Captain Bob Morris and Fred Barbour at the Silver bathhouse to accompany the swim mers. Two boats were taken in order to bring the girls home from their long swim. The start was made in fine shape, but it was soon found that the bay was too rough to make good time. Indeed, the people in the boats thought it would be best to postpone the attempt on account oi the wind and ruffled water, but the Polhamus girls had their bathing suite on and insisted on going ahead
 It took just two hours and ten min utes to make the four and half miles The fair swimmers did not appear to be in the least exhausted. They laughed and chatted all the way down with the occupants of the boats. Oc- casionally one would race 8 while with her sisters. They seemed as much at home in the water as mer. maids and much more attractive.
 At National City wharf the boats drew up for the girls to get in. Miss Agnes Polhamus disdained assistance and drew herself over the gunwals with ease. This was, perhaps, the most difficult feat of the day, as her clothing was soaked with water and very heavy and it WAS to be presumed that her plump arms were tired.
 But there was no sign of fatigue on her part. On the way home she took a hand at the oars, and with Captain Jessie Haight, rowed one boat while Captain Bob Morris and Fred Barbour rowed the other. The girls raced with the boys coming back and outrowed them, beating them easily by several lengths.
 The story of the afternoons work was heard with incredulity by swim mers and oarsmen, but there were too many witnesses to leave any doubt as to it's truth. A record was establish ed that will not soon be broken by the strongest male swimmers and oarsmen and certainly not by any girls.
 The above ladies are the nieces of Capt. Polhamus of this city. Miss Carrie, is one of the best pilots on the bay at San Diego and carrles 8 first class pilot certificate

CRITIC NET HIS FIRST DEFEAT

The feature of last nights bowling in
the itwo-men team tournament on
Heye's Pythian Hall alleys was the roll
ing of Tasch and Lembeck of the Fair
mount team. They put up big scores
and won over the Clinton team, Douglas
and Twaits, and the Nonpareils, Mackss
n McKaig. In their last game thu
Paramount rollers beat the tournament
record and came within ten pins of q
200 average. The first contest was be-
tween the Volunteer and Clinton repre-
sentatives and the games were hotly
contested. The Clintons received de-
feat. In the first game McKaig's rolling
pulled the game out by a margin of 80
pins. The second was closer still and
the Volunteers got the lead at the close
by 10 pins. They rolled well together.
Clintons were up against it once
more in their meeting with hi Fair
mounts and were beaten by good mar
gins. The inner were both above the
average. Douglas rolled 1T for Clinton.
The Volunteers were out to win in their
second series and made a good effort,
but were beaten after making their best
total, 20 pins. They went to pieces as
a result of the great work of Tasch, who
rolled 207, and Lembeck, who closed with
1888 in the final game. 1t was a fine ex-
hlbition and the result places the Fair
mounts in the lead in the record and
