Eastern type is essentially distinctive, and
must be considered alone
Unauestionably the principal difference
lies in the greater percentage or urban
population in the East than In the west
though the freer habits of the west con-
tribute their share and the different
-progenity of the districts, though almost
obliterated, has small influence But
whatever the influences that serve to pro-
duce the conditions they can be we'll
studied and the future generation of all
districts improved by judicfous use or
suitable exercises.
Here are some Of the physical peculiar
tiles that are disclosed by these tables
First, that the Wellesley woman Is taller
and heavier than the typical woman OIL
either Of the Western groups, while the
Oberlin and Nebraska women are about
the same size and weight. The increased
frequency of the Teutonic element In the
Western group probably accounts for the
difference The Eastern type partakes
more of the long-legged and short-trunked
type which seems to be characteristic OF
the tendency in modern development
The symmetry that exists in the length
of the upper extremities Is remarkable,
although there seems to be greater
length of foot in the Eastern group than
in either OF the others. In girths the rec
ord of head circumference seems TO be
larger in the Eastern group. and, accord
ing to the general law that seems 10 OBJ
tain among men, this larger girth OF
head Is accompanied by larger girth OF
neck, although all the chest measure
ments are found to be considerably below
the standard set by either of the Western
colleges This poor development OF chest

and would seem to indicate less vi ality
and certainly less endurance of working

chest girth and this item alone would
indicate a higher type of physical ability
and a previous life Of greater activity
than is found in either of the two other
classes. In this regard the Eastern col
lege seems to have better record than
would be anticipated from the girtfls.
and It seems to be fact. derived from a
tabulation of the measurements of Ober-
lin students who have taken systematic
exercise, that this element rapidly in
creased, and that the Oberlin student
should stand next to the Nebraska stu
dent in this particular
These, then. are the main variations

duce them are encouraging in that they

1.-The time of almost every man in &C
tive life is terribly taxed by useless Wis
Itors, said busy New Orleans ship
per 81 mean people who come on foolish
errands tedious friends who drop in to
chat and don't know when to go, and
the small army of agents, canvassers, So
iicitors and the like; who, in the aggre-
gate, consume many precious hours every
day / have scheme for disposing of
such bores that works to a charm.
The whole secret lies in that chair
beside my, roll-top, desk It is very in
nocent- looking, as, you, will observe, but
1t has some marked peculiarties. To be-
gin with, 1t is firmly attached to the
floor, and it is 81. placed that whoever
sits in 1t faces a flood of light, while
myself am in the shadow. Then, again,
the back is very straight and very mar
row; it has no arms, and the seat pitches
slightly forward, the front being half an
inch lower than the rear
1T is utterly impossible for any bore
to sit in that chair four consecutive
minutes. With female book agents 1t is
peculiarly eficacious, for the simple rea-
son that such callers are generally thirty
five or over, and no woman of that age
can sit quiet in the glazing daylight I'M
der the calm scrutiny of q man in the
shadow. The coolest of them lose their
self possession, twist, wriggle and soon
fly the spot. Then. again, the straight
ba2k and absence of arm prevent the &C.
cupant from assuming that graceful,
sidelong attitude without which no wom-
an is able to converse.
With male bores 1t is equally dreaded

they are talking or lean forward impress
sively. with their elbows on their arms.
The two poses seem to be essential to a
flow of language, and neither of them is
possible here. When they find that the
legs are attached to the floor and search
in vain for \ rest for their elbows, they
lose the thread of their story, look mis-
cradle and then beat retreat. The pitch
of the seat simply adds to the general
discomfort of the machine. One finds
ones self continually sliding off without
knowing why. 1t is very disconcerting.
I wouldn't take anything for that chair.

scribed serves to bridge over the space
between the adjacent ends of the adjoin-
Ing rails when separated, as by con-
traction, and prevents car wheel from
striking the upper edges Of the ends of
the rails. the conclusion of which results
in shattering the rails and the continued
repetition Of which acts to seriously in
jure the rolling stock; 1t being obvious
that When the wheel Is over the space
between the rails 1t Is supported by the
bridge bar, which prevents 1t from drop
ping dovnwardly,, as would be true If ne
such connecting device We're present. The
bar affords continuous supporting sur
face from one ran to the other. Similarly
the surfaces Of the rails on each side
of the recessesg prevent the wheel from
coming in contect with the end walls of
the recesses. as when the rails are con-
tracted SO. as to yleave openings between
the end walls and the ends of the bar.
In practice the intervening space be-
tween the adjoining rails, yhen properly
laid. will never be very great, so that a
relatively small bar may be employed
for the purpose of connecting them
without danger Of the weight carried by
the wheel bending sthe bar between the
ends Of the rails.
1.-THE bridge bar is connected with one
of the rails in such a manner as to pre-
vent 1t from rising or moving vertically
out Of The receSSes. The upper surface
is at all times flush! with the upper sur
faces of the heads Of the rails"
The Great Northern tests, In which the
new device was applied six months ago
to rails unde. the Rice street bridge on
the Great Northern railways short line
between the cities, were made under the
personal supervision Of Max Toltz, the
superintendent Of bridge construction of
the road, ana a skilled mechanical en-
gineer. Mr.. Toltz considers the con-
tinuous joint one of much merit and
promising much In saving wear on rails
and railroad equipment.
Said he yesterday: 1.-THE tests which
we have made demonstrate that it gives
an easy riding rail, eliminating the
pounding of equipment on rail joints and
prolonsing the life of the steel. The rails
on which we have tested the device have
been laid down for six months, and my
reports on them, received yesterday, were
very favorable. To all appearances, the
rails possessing the Hachmann device are
in as good condition as when laid, not
withstanding the immense amount of

Patents We're received In St. Paul last
week to an invention which promises to
solve a problem with which railroad en-
gineers have been struggling for years.
1t grants exclusive rights in the United
States to the first efficient and practical
continuous railroad rail device which has
ever been put in use. The inventor Is a
st. Paul man, Frederick Hachmann, 500
Lawson street, who is now in the East
arranging for the manufacture of his de-
vice.
For many years, in fact since the first
railroad rails were laid in the United
States. mechanical engineers have been
wrestling with the problem Of securing a
joint for steel rails which shall make
them practically continuous and eliminate
the pounding" as the car wheels pass the
joints, which is familiar to everyone
Hundreds of devices have been patented,
many of which have possessed excellent
features, but none of which has solved
the problem satisfactorily. The best in
ventions which have been placed on the
market have been debarred from general
use on account of their great cost and the
expense of manufacture. 1t has been an
open secret for years that any man who
could produce q device combining all the
essential features of a successful contin-
uous rail joint, at a small expense for

Victoria.
The Duke Of Manchester, who is at
present on the staff of the New York
Journal, contributes the following article
to that paper:
1t has been suggested to me that
short article on the British peerage might
prove interesting to some. / do not in
tend to make this very serious article
or to deal with it in any way at all in a
scientific light. but merely to give a few
facts which I hope may prove Of inter-
est.
There are five grades of the peerage
now in Great Britain, which I will name
according to rank.
First. the duke, or, from the Latin,
dux. or leader
Second. the marquis, or guardian CT the
marchers or frontiers.
Third, the earl, from the old Saxon,
eorlderman, or chief of thames.
Fourth, the viscount Or welcomes,
which formerly meant sheriff Of county
and was first used as title of nobility in
the reign of Henry VI
And. lastly, the baron. This is the old
est form of peer.
The first three grades have the right
to bestow on their eldest sons their
second title, but this does not make them
peers, as the title is only held by court
esq. In each case the eldest sons of all
peers rank with the grade next below
their fathers in dignity. There have been
a few isolated cases of sons becoming
peers during the lifetime of their fathers.
as witness in this century creation of the
title Baron Dover during the lifetime of
the father, Viscount Clifton, but these are
extremely rare
