Weeping at the Theater.

There's Just this about crying at
the theater,' said the average woman.
you'll cry If you're in the mood for
1t and you won't II you're not-no mat
ter how narrowing or nonharrowing
the play may be. Like most average
women, l rarely cry, either at the
theater or anywhere, but l long ago
discovered that 1t depends entirely
upon my mood at the time. l once
went to- a genuine comedy and found
the tears filling my eyes just because
I happened to be blue at the time, and
I've been at many a play with all the
women around me hopping their eyes
and drying their Observation-Disclosures
on their fans. while I-being for. some
reason or other uplifted-sat there
dry-eyed, almost smiling. No matter
what, my mood, however, the thing
sure to keep me from weeping at the
theater is any; emotional display on
the part OF her who is with me. 1 can
attend the weepiest kind of q play I'M
moved with my sister, for she starts in
away ahead OF time, making me feel
more. like laughing than crying, and
then when the true lachrymose oppor-
tunity arrives It finds me pathos-proof.
This Is the only way by which l may
make myself IMMUNE from weeping at
.theaters, upon all occasions ."-Phila
delphia Times. s,ia

big Heads and Great Minds.

The old theory that large brain
weight Is necessarily associated with
great mental capacity has been dis
proved by recen Investigations. DR.,
Joseph Simms in a recent number Of
the Popular Science Monthly arranges
in one table the names of sixty re-
nown men, drawn from different parts
of the earth, whose brains varied in
weight from II to 40 ounces. Another
table gives the brain weights of 100
persons of ordinary or weak minds,
idiots and criminals, whose brains were
on the whole larger than those of the
GO before mentioned. About 9 or 10
per cent of men examined in asylums
registered a brain weight Of more than
IS ounces, while those of Daniel Web
ster, Lord Byron, Bacon, Gen. Sko-
belief and of many other renowned
men were between 53.6 and so ounces.
The average brain weight of the 60
famous men was found to be less than
the estimated brain weight of all men,
and the 10 most weighty brains in the
list of famous men averaged more
than nine ounce less than those of the
10 heaviest belonging to the idiotic
criminal and ordinary class.

Finger Print Identification.

In detective novels finger-prints left
by criminals, preferably in blood,
play an important part; but truth
seems stranger than fiction in the fact
that the finger-print system of identi-
flying criminals in India has been
made so perfect that it would enable
any intelligent person in a few min
utes to distinguish the individual, il
necessary, from all other persons now
living in the world, or, if data were
available, from all other persons who
have lived since the creation of man.
The system is simplicity itself, and
there Is none of the elaboration OF
process or the costly and delicate ma
chinery required for the %anthropo-
metric system. All that is needed is
a piece of tin, a sheet of paper and
some printers ink. The linked i'm
pressions of the ten digits are taken
and filed in the proper compartment OF
the proper pigeon-hole, and it is on
the classification of records and their
distribution into the pigeon holes
thai the success of the system
depends. Every finger mark shows
lines Of the loop" or the
"whorl" type, and by. a simple table
of the combinations of these types in
the ten digits, 1924 main classes are
made. These are again subdivided ac-
cording to minor details, and the sub
divisions can be further divided ad in
hnitum it necessary; but with the
table before him any. person of or
binary intelligence can place his finger
on the corresponding card to a record
in his hand within five minutes, no
matter how many thousand cards there
may be. 1t is calculated that the
chances are about sixty-four million to
one against any two persons having
single fingers identical, and the
nance against all ten fingers being
identical go beyond mathematics alto.

The Marriagcablo Ara,

1t makes considerable difference in
the matrimonial advantages of q per-
son where he may have been born or
is a citizen. This remark apples with
peculiar force to the minimum age
which renders a union legal. 1t in a
measure implies the consent Of parents
or guardians in all the Instances cited,
although once united the law sustains
the marriage maugre dissent Of the
parents, etc. In Austria, fourteen
years is looked upon as sufficient to
entitle a person of either sex to take
on the burdens of matrimony. Ger
many requires the male to be IS Ind
the female 16. In France and Belgium
the man must be 16 ard the woman
Is. In Spain the intended husband
must have passed the fourteenth year
and the woman her twelfth. The law
in, Hungary for Roman Catholics is
that the man must be IA years and the
m II; for Protestants, the man
must be 10 and the woman Is. In
Greece the man must have seen at
least IA summers and the woman II.
In Russia and Saxony they are more
sensible, and a youth must refrain
from matrimony till he can count 10
years and a woman till she can count
16. In Switzerland men from the age
of IA and women from the age of IL
are allowed to marry. The Turkish
law provides that any youth and maid
who a walk properly and can und.r-
stand the necessary religious service
are allowed to be united for life.

ELECTRIC HAIR CUT.
Paris Has = Shop Of Queer Tonsorial
Operations.

Operations.
An electrical BARRIERS shop is one OF
the latest attractions of Paris. This
does not mean simply that motors are
used for driving fans and the estab-
llshment lighted by an electrical cur
rent, but that hair is curled, cut and
dried by electricity, and many other
things done through its agency. Hair
cutting in this Partisan establishment
is done with an electric cutting comb,
which, because of its simplicity and
the dexterity with which it may be,
used, must soon become widely en-
ployed. This comb looks like any
ordinary one, except that a thin wire
is stretched above the upper portion Of
the teeth along the handle. The wire:
Is connected electrically with a storage,
battery. When the battery is con-
nected the wire becomes red hot.
Therefore when this comb is passed
through the hair the latter is burned
off by the red-hot wire. The whole:
operation is so rapid that a heavy
head of hair may be clipped in a few
minutes. Not only this, but the ends
OF the hair cannot bleed. so that the
benefit of smuggling is part Of the
operation. Hair which has been sham
pooed is dried very quickly by means
OF electric fans, facial imperfections
are removed with electric needles, and
it is understood that the owner of the
shop is patenting an electric motor
like device which will be used in place
OF the hands for shampooing.
