In recent animal evolution biologists find
that development of the brain has taken the
place of increase in size of body. rhinoceros
of Tertinry times had cerebrum not more than
a fifth as large that of the modern rhinoceros,
while other creatures show even greater diff
ference, and it is concluded that the change has
been general in all classes of vertebrates and
even in many invertebrates Prof. K. Ray Lam
kester, pointing out these facts to the Paris
Biological Society, has raised the problem OF
the advantage of this greater brain. He sug-
gests that in the operation of natural selection
a point must have been reached where mere
bodily size ceased to aid, and individuals began
to learn from experience and by new powers OF
habit, Judgment, ETC., succeeded in the struggle
for existence against animals guided by instinct
only. "Educability" becoming thus almost the
sole objective of selection, it has continued in
creasing throughout long period, finally cul-
minating In man. with ms enormous cereDrum

Workers on the Jungfreu railway, at an alti
tude of about 5000 feet, after about eight days
are seized with violent pains in one side of the
jaw, while the gums swell and the teeth become

A cycle of hot and cold summers, coinciding
with the decades, has been traced by MIR. A. B.
acDowall in the records of Greenwich Obser-
vatory Since 1S41 the mean temperature for
June July and August has ranged between 57.40
and 65lo, and it is found that the summers
reaching or exceeding $50 have been nearly all
in wears ending with the figures to 9, and that
the summers of 60o or lower have been almost
completely distributed in the years ending with
o TO l. In other words. the earlier summers of
a decade have tended to be cool. and the later
ones to be hot The tendency has been fol-
lowed as far back as 1910, but the records before
1871 are less trustworthy.

husband of Victory Bateman, the &C
tress. has deserted his bride after a
honeymonth of two months. Miss Bate
man announced to an actress friend at
a little dinner party two days ago that
her husband had abandoned her week
ago. Il would not have cared so much
had he gone with a Bernhard she re
marked to a friend. but to have gone
with a s25 week vaudeville girl is
enough to make one angry" So it seems
that there is a woman in the case and
the story goes that Westayer has stray

He left here ten days ago to make some

and wife. II reports are trustworthy he
kept right on for Cleveland, o., where q
young woman in '-McFadden's Row of

In a Four-Handed Duel Which Re
suited All One Way.

Ceredo, W. Va, April Fifteen miles
south or here last night, near Center

tally wounded and his brother Lee in
Jured seriously by Albert and Arthur
Cyrus. All the parties interested We're
neighbors and farmers, and all had at
tended church during the evening and
were retL rning home
For some time the two families have
been enemies, previous fights having oc-
Cured The old trouble was renewed
last night and as quick as wink four
revolverS were in action. The Cyrus
boys proved the better marksmen, and,
after emptying their weapons, made
their escape. Albert Cyrus is known
to have been shot, but his injury will
not likely prove serious.
Both the Perdues were carried from
the scene of battle, believed to be NOR
tally wounded. It is reported tonight,
however, that Lee may recover.
