Science Of Sounding Skulls.

Certain disciples of Charcot, notably NJ.
Giles de la Tourette, writes a Paris cor
respondent, have recently evolved new
science, or rather a new aid to diagnosis,
in the sounds of the skull.
They tap the skull with little hammer,
and according to the character of the note
1t gives out they conclude as to the condi-
ton of the brain.
The skull of child gives out a note of
higher pitch than that of a man. In old
age the skull sound rises again.
The thickness of the skull can be deter
mined after some practice and any disease
or fracture betrays itself by the peculiar
sound
Some skulls, according to the doctors.
give out veritable sound of cracked
pot, and so the popular term Cracked"
for a person of eccentric intellect is fully
justified.

He Is Seeking the Appoint-
ment From Mckinley.

BATH. ME-. April 23.-Harold NJ. Sewall,
former minister to Hawaii and present
United States government agent on those
islands. arrived home to-day on visit to
his father. Athur Sewall.
Mr.. Sewall said that he was a candidate
for governor Of Hawaii. but. being in the
government service, he felt somewhat re-
stricted in discussing the matter. He was
away from his post on leave. and had spent
six days in Washington in conference with
the authorities.
He would not deny that his visit to
Washington was relative to the governor
ship of the islands. neither would he af-
firm the rumor that the position had been
rendered him bv President Mckinley. He
said that he would return to Honolulu
within a week and 1t is inferred from this
that he reached satisfactory understand
ing with the president.
