average intelligence of these birds is
very high is generally Acknowledged:

his own pace. but that pace is deliberate.
They walk in column. but the rank is

or jostles his neighbor. and all the
heads are carried high. so as to get the
maximum of air. At regular intervals
on the march the column halt and feed,

BY 1t Ones Racial Origin May Be
Determined.
The form Of the head is for all racial
purposes best measured by what is
technically known as the cephalic in
dex. This is simply the breadth of the
head above the ears expressed in per
centage of its length from forehead to
back. Assuming that this length is 100,
the width is expressed as fraction of it.
AS the head becomes proportionately
broader-that is. more fully rounded.
viewed from the top down-this cephalic
index increases. When it rises above
so. the head is called brachycephalic;
when it falls below IS, the term doll
chocephalic is applied to it. Indexes
between IS and so are characterized as
unacceptable. The two skulls in our il
Illustrations, viewed from above, show
how marked the differences in these
proportions may be. In very rare in
stances the index may run in individuals
as low as e., and it has been observed as
high as 103-that is to say. the head
being broader than it is long. In our
study, which is not of individ uals. but
of racial groups. the limits of variation
are of course much less. We shall sell

numbers exceeding the limits roughly
indicated by the two crania in our illus
trations.
A factor which is of great assistance
in the rapid identification of racial
types is the correlation between the
proportions of the head and the form of
the face. In tbs majority of cases. par
ticularly in Europe, a relatively broad
head IS accompanied by a rounded face.
in which the breadth back of the cheek

the height from forehead to chin. An
thropologists make use of this relation
to measure the so-called facial index;
but lack of uniformity in the mode of
taking measurements has so far pre-
vented extended observations fit for
exact comparison. 1t is sufficient for
our purposes to adopt the rule, long

face.-Prof. William z. Ripley, in APP

The Presence of Mind of the

stampede.
Two Boys Who Maliciously Rails d
TIE Cry Severely L.ctured and
5 ntenced by JUICE Campo II.

The presence of mind of Mrs. Nettie A.
Wood, principal, and the other teachers
In the Hearst Grammar School, Hermann
and Fillmore streets, prevented a
stampede of the schoolchildren about two
weeks ago and probably saved a mum Der
OF them from being trampl ed to death, as
there are 76o pupils in The school.
The facts III the case came out in Judge
Campbells court yesterday, when three
boys appeared before him to answer a
charge OF disturbing the peace. The bows
were Frank Perrell, II years of age, and
Thomas Kirby and Willie Donlan, both
about II years of age, who live in the
vicinity OF the school.
The evidence showed that Donlan had
nothing to do with the case, and the
charge against him was dismissed. Per-
rell was sentenced to six months in the
County Jail and Kirby was sent to the
Boys and Girls Aid Society.
PeIrell conceived the idea of having
some fun at the expense of the teachers
and children in the school and he induced
Kirby 10 join him IN the scheme Tire
scheme was for Kirby to run into the
school shouting "Fire! frel the schools
on fire" and Perrell was to join in the
cry from the outside.
The scheme was carried into effect on
the morning of May Is. when the child rem
were busy al their lessons. Kirby, as ar
ranged, ran into the school and yelled
Fire fire! the schools on tiret' and a
voice outside was heard repeating the cry.
Kirby hmm diately ran out and Joined

commanding them to take their seats and
the benefit of the fire drill was seen by
the children prom pity obeying the COM
mand, although some ofthe younger ones
showed some reluctance in doing so and
looked as if they would prefer TO rush out
OF doors.
A hasty examination showed no sign of
hire or smoke and then it dawned upon the
teachers that malicious JOKE had been
PLAYED upon them. Next day a COM
plant was sworn TO charging the boys
with disturbing the peace and they were
arrested.
Judge Campbell in sentencing Perrell
lectured him severely upon the helnous
nature OF his conduct and told himlf it
had not been for the presence of mind of
the teachers he mig hit have been the cause
OF several children losing their lives in
mad rush for the doors. Then he would
have been charged with murder. He also
talked severely to young Kirby an both

C|GARE TIE LAW SCORED,
D,aiers Dec are Such Measures
Do the City Much
Harm.
They Believ, tn. Proposed Ordinance
W.u.d Be Decided Invalid By
the C1ur.s.

Tobacconists all over the City laugh at
the proposed law to make it crime to
sell or give away cigarettes, and they as.
sumo, first, that it will not be passed and,
next, that it will be declared unconstitu-
tional if it should be enacted. In any
event, they do not expect that should it
pass there will be any serious attempt to
enforce it.
The following expressions OF opinion by
well-known local dealers in cigars and
tobacco give an id ca of the general senti-
ment:
Nj. A. Gunst & Cove deal chiefly In
cigars and care very little for the cigar
cite trade, but the attempt to pass such
a ridiculous law is silly thing. This is
the wrong City and the wrong generation
for people to try experiments suitable for
the dark ages or for puritancal countries.
American Tobacco Company-It IS
ridiculous to try to pass such laws in a
free country.
Michali,schke Bros. & Cove have no
fear. If they pass such laws it will be in
order next to fine man for kissing his
wife on Sunday, as they did under the
old "blue laws" of the New England
States. The attempts of cranks to pass
such laws give the City bad name. The
law would be unconstitutional anyhow.
NJ. N. Hirsch-It is ridiculous and I'M
patriotic proposition to try to prescribe
what people shall cat or smoke. 1t can
never be the rule of action in a City like
this
e. w. Briggs-All my researches in law
and history prejudice NE against such
laws A man OF full age ought TO be his
own judge OF what be smokes or drinks.
NJ BONN OF the Richelieu-Tnat law
would rob ali American citizen OF his lib
erty. 1t cannot be possible that it will
even pass. What crank had the audacity
to in trod uce it unless he wanted to cinch
the dealers?
F. M. Ferguson-It Is ridiculous to dis
cuss it. The people out here love liberty
too we'll and the law would be invalid If 1T
was passed.
