MEN GET SHORTER.
Is said This Happens when They
Climb 20 the Top of High
Mountains

One Of the most remarkable facts
known TO all our mountain climbers /.
that the height Of man is diminished
to an extraordinary degree by the time
he has reached the summit Of a CON
siderable mountain.
SO much is this the case that a six.
foot man is actually diminished In
height by a full inch by the time he
reaches ary Of the best known Of Tho
great Alpine SUBMITS, though the
usual diminution, produced in very few
hours, IS three-quarters Of an inch.
The extent Of this diminishing Of
height has caused much discussion for
some time, but doctors generally al
tribute it to the peculiar position most
~ maintained in climbing. One note
worthy feature is that the more heavily
laden the climber may be the greater is
the diminution.
Although the height of N men grows
less to the extent Of three-quarters Of
an inch, the diminution varies greatly
IN individuals Of the same normal
height beyond that extent, and the nor.
NAL height is not resumed for some
hours after the climb.

markable boy baby. His mother, says
the New York Sun, was a half-breed

About these letters are many white
spots like stars, two on either side OF
the neck being five-pointed.

that during the fight of Coamo last
July, when the Pennsylvania troops
were sent to the rear of the Spanish
position, the mother was alarmed while
at work in the field near the road by
the approach of the American troops.
She was frightened at their sudden APP
