quickly captured, but a few minutes later
a larger party of freshmen appeared with
the "Douglass" cannon drawn by two
horses. The sophomofes succeeded in
spilsing it, however. The real scrimmagc

To different nations makes their blessings evel

The Revista de Medicina Cirugia, of
Havana publishes an "anthropological
study" by DR.. Montalvo, DR.. De la
Tore and DR.. Montane, OF the skull OF
the Cuban patriot, Antonio Maceo. The
most noteworthy point is the existence
OF an interparietal, or, as it is sometimes
termed, an ''inca" bone, from the theory
that it was universal among, and dis.
/ tinctve OF, the old Peruvian race. This,
however, was shown by Anoutchine to
be erroneous, for after examining many
thousands of skulls in various museums,
he found the bone in only 6.S per cent.
in Peruvians, in /. per cent, in negroes
and 1.3 per cent. in Americans. Maceo
was, Of course, OF mixed race.
