The Habit If Contracted Early Will
Produce Material Facial Changes.

From the Lancet.
The association of mouth breathing with
high palate unsymmetrical upper Jaw
prominent nose, open mouth and thin
fattened face is q constant one. On at
tempting to reason this subject out at
meeting Of the Chronological Society I was
met by perfect hurricane of adverse
criticism. l was told that all these cases
were hereditary and there was nothing
more to be said on the subject. 1t remind
ed me very much of the reception a dog
gets in the streets of COnstantinople If he
happens to leave his own street and wander
TO another. Whatever meaning the mem
bers of the society attached to the term
"heredity' they are welcome to, but 1t at
all events does not mean that any given
person with face such as 1 have indicated
must of necessity be born with the same
l am old enough now to have seen many
instances of children with beautifully form
ed faces, symmetrical dental arches and
perfect nasal respiration become in after
life quite altered. The upper arch has be-
come distorted that the mOlar teeth on
each side are Appropriated 80 that the
teeth of the upper jaw rest only by their
edges on the teeth of the lower jaw, where
the incisor teeth of the upper jaw pro-
trude forward and hang in front of the in
cisor teeth of the lower jaw. The whole
Of the upper jaw may become atrophied.
pended, and the pa.ate highly arched and
V-shaped, and the mouth constantly open.
Why this change? Was It the evolution
of the hereditary tendency which in these
cases did not exist, the parents in all these
instances having remarkably well-formed
upper jaws and being particularly good
looking? L can produce the same effect on
any young animal chosen Unfortunately by
blocking its nose for long time with cot
ton wool Is it unreasonable TO suggest
that turbinal atOny and hypertrophy in
the young and growing subject will act as
the piece of wool in The nose of the young
animal?
II is matter of common knowledge that
children affected with post-nasal growths
or enlarged tonsils or both often become
pale, thin, anaemic, listless and generally
out OF sorts. l myself have never heard
a satisfactory explanation offered for this
associated condition. l say Associated
for the association Is fairly constant. In
grown-up persons who suffer from post
nasal catarrh and pharyngitis and chronic
laryngeal catarrh ] have noticed two very
prominent symptoms-chronic f1atulent dys-
pepSia and suffuSed and al the same time
leaden appearance OF the complexion. The
skin of the face becomes thick, heavy and
patchy and often the vessels of the con-
junctiva are permanently Hated. l take 1t
that in both cases a large quantity Of I'M
healthy mucus finds its way into the stom-
ach. This In the child probably inter-
feres with nutrition and in the grown-up
person is the cause of the dyspepsia. The
want of proper oxidation at night Is the
probable cause Of the altered and damaged
complexion. Whatever be the explanation
nasal respiration be restored and the nose
and throat trouble cured in both cases
nutrition improves and the patient is
speedily restored.

survey of the ground in question has been
completed and from this information a
plat has been made and also ground pans
of some of the floors of a building that it
is thought would be adapted for such a
site. 1t is probable that when the scheme
materialiZes it will take the form Of a
stock company, as the amount involved is
so large as to preclude it being undertaken
by individuals. 1t is estimated that the
ground alone, which has a frontage OF
about $50 feet on one street, and will
front on Connecticut avenue when the lat
ter is extended will cost 100000 or $10,V1o,
while as the building is designed to cover
practically the entire lot its construction
will take large sum Of money.

Costly Century of War.
from tho TnDt1ou Chrop}c1e

It was costly century Of war that En-
glishmen had to look back upon a hun
bred years ago. The fighting record began
In 1902 with the war of the Spanish success
sion, which cost 623s millions. The Span
ish war of 1899 absorbed 81 millions before
1t was settled at Aix-la- Chapelie nine years
later. The seven years war cost 112 mil
lions and the American war, 1873 millions
Most expensive Of all was the French rev.
dictionary war. begun in 1913. which cost
this country 464 millions. II we extend the
retrospect back to 1858 and up to 1916 we
find there were in that period sixty-two
years Of peace. and that the sixty-five
years OF war cost US 2023 millions. The
largest item in this vast total was. of
course. the campaign against Bonaparte,
which in twelve years cost u 1.16o mil

A NOVEL MACHINE.
Union Pacific Using a Ponderous Ma
chine for Repairing Roadbed.

The Union Pacific railroad is oper-
ating a machine on this section which
is quite novelty. 1t is built on the
ordinary fiat cars and is used for max
ing "cuts" and" fills" in grading. 1t
is known as a railroad ditcber.
1t has two large arms, one extend
ing on either side, suspended from
which are large scoops which let
down into the ground, where a ditch
is required. As the engine pulls the
machine forward these scoops fill with
earth which are then taken up by
means Of crane and dumped where a
fill is needed. Each Of these scoops
holds three wagon loads Of dirt.
The force Of men required to oper-
ate this machine is from ten to twelve
and the work which can be accom-.
plished is equal to that which can be
done by from thirty to forty men
with ordinary hand scoops and fiat
cars in the same length Of time.

PART OF THE PROPERTY.
Grass Along Highway Belongs tt
Land Owner.

The fact that hay is 50 scarce and
that the market price is SO high has
brought up the question as to who
owns the grass growing in the public
highway. Judge I. B. Wall Of Wich-
ita has looked the matter up thor
oughly and advised some farmers
who came to him about the question
that it belongs to the adjoining prop
erty owners. The matter was brought
up by two farmers claiming equal
rights to certain stretch Of grass in
the public highway. The courts have
held heretofore that the public sim
ply has the right Of way and that the
property owner is privileged to what
ever grows in said highway, adjoin.
ing his land. In some parts Of the
county where wide roads are unnec-
cesary it is customary among the
farmers to plant small patches Of
cane and millet along the sides Of the
road. This year the grass itself is
worth considerable and it often hap.
pens that the most luxuriant growth
is on or next to the public highway,
