MozARTs MIssHAPEN EAR.

The Italians have an expression, "Voce di compositore,' indicating the defective quality of the vocal apparatus in musical have a voice he must have a good ear. It need not be a beautiful one. In the Mo- zart Museum at Salzburg there Is small water-color painting representing two hu- man ears. The drawing is described in the cataloque as "MoZart's ear and an ordinary ear" pr. Gerber, privet docent in the University of Konigsberg, has re- gently published in the Deutsche Medi- cinische Wochenschrift an anthropological study on MoZart's ear. The fact that the great composer had ears of a peculiar shape suggests the notion that there Is some connection between the form of the ear and the musical faculty, which shows itself in earliest youth. Such an ldea, however, says the British Medical Jour nal, rests on a very slender basis of fact, as there have been opportunities or estab- fishing the truth.
 Mozarts ears were of the broad type especially seen-in the lower races of man, and must, therefore, be looked upon as a mark of a low grade of development. While the normal ear Is curved in beauu- ful lines and has longish form, Mozart s ear was flat, presenting obtuse angles in- scribed as misshapen. The complete want of lobe is a well-knoWn mark of low de- velopment, especially when, as i'll the case of Mozart, it occurs in connection with Q broad ear. It is surely an example or natures irony that the man whose inner ear was of the highest grade of develop ment had an outer ear misshapen to the generally found only in the lowest saV- aReS

THE NIGGER.

Park died in the belief that the Niger found it's way to the Atlantic through the Congo, which alone at its mouth seemed to possess an adequate body of water for so long a river; and, While Major Peddle in vain attempted to follow Parks route from the Gambia, Lieutenant Tuckey was, in consonance with his ernment in 1916 to follow up the Congo from it's mouth. But both expeditions proved equally disastrous. Eight years later Lieutenant Clapperton, on his first expedition from the Barbary Coast, learn ed at Sackatoo Cor Sokoto) that the Niger flowed southward to the sea- With a view to determine this he was sent out again in 1925, and this time landed at BBadiagry near Lagos in d'lterea the Eight Gf f afterward turned out. from the long sought mouth of the river From here he and his companions travelled overland, reaching the Niger at Bussa, just below when Mungo Park had met with his death. Then, instead of following his in- structions and descending the river to its outlet, he started off an ambitious design to cross the continent to Abyssinia, and died at Sokoto in April 1927.
 It was Clapperton's servant, Richard Lander, who, with his brother John, In 1880, settled the question of the outlet of the Niger by descending 1t in canoes from Bussa, or rather from Yauri, where they had first gone to try to recover Parks pa pers. The mystery was solved, and the river was found to enter the sea by a number of mouths, which for hundreds of years had been known to our merchants as the Oil Rivers, and which, being 1n- dividually smaller than the united stream. had given no suspicion of their being the outlet of a great river. The IanderS seem to have met with fewer obstacles from the than from the unfriendliness of the na- t1VeS.-Gentleman'S MagaZtne.
