Eliminating Stature in Eurone.

This relation between stature and
health is brought to concrete expression
In the armies of Europe through re-
lection Of all recruits for service who
fall below certain minimum stand
ard OF height, generally about feet.
The result Of this Is to preclude the
possibility Of marriage for all the fully
developed men during their three years
In the barracks, while the understood
individuals, exempt from service ON
this account, are left free to propagate
the species meanwhile. Is 1t not ap-
parent that the effect of this artificial
selection Is to put distinct premium
upon infcriority of stature In so far as
future generations are concerned? This
enforced postponement Of marriage for
the normal man implies not merely
that the children of normal families
are born later in life-tliat would not
be Of great moment In itself-it means
far more than this. The majority OF
children are more often born In the
earlier half OF married life. before the
age of 30. Hence a postponement OF
matrimony means not only later chill
dren, but fewer children. Herein lies
the great significance of the phenome-
non for us. Standing armies tend In
this respect to overload succeeding gen.
eyations with inferior types Of men,

Senator Davis, chairman of the Senate

Friday that he would not make an effort
to press the Hawaiian treaty to final con-
sideration in the Senate during the pres

while" he said, ''the opposition to the
ratification of the treaty is not formidable
as to numbers, it has already been made
evident that it will be quite determined,
and this fact, coupled with the impossible
ity of holding a quorum for my length Of
time after the passage of the tariff bill,
has already forced the conclusion that an
effort to secure immediate action would
be futile; hence it will not be made. We
shall, however, be able to get the treaty
reported to the Senate. We shall also
have it formally taken up so as to have
it we'll to the front at the beginning Of
