dead mans head from which he mod

This Is the remarkable combination
found: A tremendous will power with
an equal development gentleness;
thorough practicability and adaptable
ity conjoined to highly idealistic ma
ture. and a gigantic intellect hand in
hand with selfishness and modesty.
There are only two heads that
know of in history that compare with
his-Michael Angeles and Savonarola's IS.
The back Of Angeles head is almost
identical with the back of Mr.. Judges.
There is difference, however. In the
forehead.
I'm addition to the death mask. I
had six photographs to assist me In
modelling the bust. A comparison of
these photographs is a study. One
taken at the age Of 20 placed by theside
of the one taken year or two ago. when
he was about A years old, makes snch
q contrast that no one would believe
they pictured the same person. 1t
shows that by his great will power
this man overcame all his youthful ten

changing the form of his skull make
bold to say that another such highly de-
veloped head is not to be found between
Maine and California. He had had only
time to plan his work when carried OFF
In his prime by death. Had he lived to
the age Of 20 his influence would have
been felt by the whole nation.
Technically examined. his head was
extremely broad at the top. which
showed great constructive ability. The
crown was we'll rounded and dome
like. and showed noble quality OF re-
spect for others. not merely for those
whom he may have looked up to. but
equally for a newsboy in the street.
The forehead over the eyes was strongly
developed. displaying highly artistic.
poetic and scientific nature He could
have been either a great poet or a great
artist but he devoted his energies TO
constructiveness and built UP the The
osophical society. his intellect must
been equal to that of any man of his
age. Like all great men. he was far
ahead Of his time and superior to
those with whom he was in daily rela-
ton.
II consider the nose as giving the
best index to character Of any feature.
His nose was his most distinguished
feature and shows great power and at
the same time complete control over
every thought and act. and although
strong, it is of the delicate and sensi-
tive type. His mouth showed tender
ness and firmness present in equal pro-
portion. His cheek bones also gave ev-
idence of will strength. His hair was
soft and showed refinement and gen.
tleness. Taken altogether there was
harmonious development. with no de-
fects present, and careful examination
Of his head from every aspect proves
that he was great and noble man. If
such a man as he would devote his life
to the Theosophical society think 1t
must have a great mission. and shall
ask to be admitted as member. New
