TORTURED HER HUSBAND.
Arrest of Wife in France for an
Inhuman Crime.

Paris, May 5.-A dispatch from Luynose
says that Nine. Harie Frapereau, after
illtreating her husband for years, is
now behind prison bars, charged with at
tempted murder. Frapereau is seventy
years old, and the wife is twenty years
his junior. She has beaten him and stary-
ed him, and devised many methods of add
ing to his torture for years past Last
OF all she built dungeon. where she kept
the unhappy man, with only few moldy
crusts to eat. often coming to the door of
the cell to taunt him In his misery.
Villagers heard groans and shrieks of
agony early yesterday morning and the
village gendarmes investigated. They fore
ed their way into the cellar of the Fra
pereau house. notwithstanding the wom-
ans fantic protests. There in a bricked
space, only six feet square. the gendarmes
found the poor old man stretched upon
heap of straw. shivering from the cold and
well-nigh famished. He had been in the
fearful place for two weeks. and the au-
thorities are wondering that the old man
had the endurance to cling to life despite
his tortures.

SCIENCE MEAsuR1Na HEADS.
Theory THAT the Lons-Headed
Man Build. Nexx Countries

Man builds New Countries.
San Frapciseo, May 5.-Dr c. c. Clos
son. OF Hsrvafd, a graduate in sociology
is at Stanford University measuring the
heads OF the Students in the gymnasium
in an effort 10 determine what influence
the shape Of the human head has on race
movementsoaud developments. He takes
the length tand breadth of the skull and
asks questions about the occupation, char
acter. health and movements of the stu
dents ancestors.
| DR.. Closson is one of new school of
scientists in anthropology who have taken
! up this unique line of investigation. IN
| terest in the matter originated from the
report of a commission organized in the
! Grand Duchy of Baden. under the diree-
| tion of La Pouge, to obtain scientific
| description of the population.
The scientists found there vas differ
| ence between the shape of the heads OF the
| urban and the rural population. The large
| majority of the latter were short or broad
! headed; the former long or narrow-head-
| ed.
| As the latter. which is the North Eu-
ropean type. is the more energetic, ner-
vous and migratory. the theory was ad-
vanced that the difference in head shape
might account for the movements OF men
| and nations.
| The Baden commission examined 10000
| persons 1t found that the mass OF the
! upper class and NEST OF those who moved
| from the country into the city were of the
| long headed type, and that this type OF
men dwell chiefly in the north of Europe.
which has taken more than its share in the
migratory movement to the United States.
! In the south of Germany and France the
| broadheaded type predominated.
! DR.. Gallignon Investigated in France ana
| others in Austria and Switzerland.
| The scientists even went SO far as to
seek information in the catacombs, and 1t
is now alleged by them that the great
movements in Roman and French history
| can be traced to these differences in skull
| formation. America being new coun-
try, built up principally by the emigration
| from Europe, the scientists are attempting
to verify the findings of the Baden com
mission by experiments in the United
| States.
1t is contended that where the broad
! headed type have emigrated they will be
I found principally in the East. while the
long headed type pushed on and are pri-
marily responsible for the settlement Of
| the West.
Dr. Sargent, of Harvard, has had exami-
nations made in the gymnasium there,
and Dr. Ripley has carried on similar in
vestigations at the Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology and at Columbia.
DR.. CIosson first examined the German.
| French and Swiss Inhabitants of Los An
| geles, and found that the large majority
of them were long-headed. 1t is said
that every test has strengthened the theo-
| Ty of the scientists.
