Chinese Compliments.

There is one point in which Chinese
etiquette, so often absurd, is much
more sensible than ours. That is in its
failure to regard the imputation of ma
ture age as discredit to either man or
woman, or, on the other hand, the i'm
putation of youthfulness as a compli-
ment to persons of either sex. An ex-
ample Of Chinese poiiteness, connected
with the visit of the Prince and Prin-
cess Henry of Prussia to Shanghai, Is
amusing. rs it reflects on our own false
notion of the complimentary in such
matters.
The German prince and princess were
visiting a notable mandarin, ene Of
whose first questions to the prince
this being an lnvariable matter of Chi
nese politeness-was:
How o.d are your
"A little more than thirty-slx," an
swered the prince. smiling.
Indeed said the mandarin. Your
highness appears ifty."
The mandarin then turned to the in
terpreter-Herr Voight, a German
and inquired the princess age. She an
swered. "Thirty-two." The Interpreter
Interpreted. and the mandarin made a
remark in Chinese evidently intended
to be complimentary. The interpreter
blushed uneasily. and hesitated TO
translate the remark. The prince saw
the difficulty, and laughing.y COM
manded: .t
"0ht with II Yoightfs

lated TO the princess. 'that your high

his classification the "shelllike ear" Of
noveiists, supposedly an Indication of
high birth. Is nearest the orang type.
and he notes that "of eight peeresses
five have ears of this type, which GER
talnly lends some support to the popu
lar suppostion, On the other hand. of
five leading lady singers only one
shows this type Of ear" AS the broad
type figures very little In fiction there
seems to be no popular conclusion re-
gardlng its significance. so Mr.. Keth's
investigation has a marked element of
novelty.
In examining the criminal, the insane
as well as the normal classes, In order
to find the ratio of prevalence Of these
contrasted ear types Mr.. Keith discov-
cred:
THAT. taken as a class, not as lndl-
viduals. criminals show a departure
from the sane in their physical consti-
tuition. But what does this really
mean? 1t means, | take 1t, that the
criminal class is recruited In undue
proportion from the group of men who
manifested the 'orang type of ear and
the women who possess the 'chimpan-
zee type A larger proportion of indi-
viduals of these two classes Is predls-
posed toward crime than those with op-
posite types. But clearly the presence
of the orang type ear in any individual
is of itself no evidence of this prelis-
position"
Mr.. Keith. however, not only studied
the variation in the orang and chin
panzee types. but in that type of ear
which possesses an ear tip or pointed
effect on the outer edge, as well as a
weak inner convolutlon, and he says
of the studies:
"All that can be deduced from the
present investigation Is that a slightly
greater proportion Of the people VINO
have ear tips and retrograde helices
give themselves over to crime than
those in which these two features are
absent. The evidence is just sufficient
to justify the suspicion that a small
proportion of criminals are criminals
because of their physical construction
and it is certainly the duty of every
anatomist to discover how such lndi-
vlduals may be recognized. AS yet all
the criminal marks we know OF can
only be stated in relative terms of the
class and have. unfortunately, no ap-
plication to the individual"

idea that our educators refrain from
putting our students to the severest
mental test. We do not ask how much
can possibly be accomplished by a
child, but how much Is best for him.
The fullest answer to the whole ques-
tion is to compare the ages Of the aver
age college graduate. In this country It
averages about % years while abroad
1t Is about % years, and from that we
see that our pupils progress slowly In
an educational line at first, but after
the faculties are thoroughly developed
a very rapid advance is made, and we
aim as nearly as possible to devolep the
mental and physical natures of the stu
dent at the same time. The success OF
this plan, | think, is evident from the

France has now the deepest well in
the world. 1t is 5000 feet and the tenn

world is fourteen inches in diameter

California.

In three hundred years the average
length of human life has been doubled.
In the sixteenth century it was between
eighteen and twenty years; at the close
of the eighteenth century 1t was little
over thirty years, and to-day it is over
forty years.
The internal heat of the earth is a
survival of the time when ii was Il
glowing ball and was turning on its
axis with velocity four times as
great as at present. 1t was slowed
down principally by the action of the
tides, internal and external. these being
one of the results of the moons attrac-
tion.
The rotation of the moon in such a
way that it shows to us always the
same face was shown to be the cOnse-
quence of the tides in the molten moon
due to the attraction of the earth. The
earth has not surrendered itself to the
tides caused by the moon because they
are relatively so feeble. 1t will, how
ever, without doubt, ultimately present
always the same face to the moon.
Gunnar Anderson, Scandinavian
botanist, makes speciality of the
study of plant growth inside the Arctic
circle. The total number of towering
species so far identified is about nine
hundred, of which 435 are in Iceland,
2S6 in Greenland, and the rest mostly
in Spitzbergen. The Arctic summers,
though short, are often hot and dry,
and the lack of moisture keeps plant
life dwarfed. Many of the species are
the same as in larger forms in southern
lands.
The resistance of cedar wood to de-
cay has long been famous, and cedar
fence-posts often last for generations.
A remarkable instance Of the inde'
structibilty of cedar has been noted in
the State of Washington, where a for
est of hemlocks. near Acme, has grown
up over an ancient buried forest of ce'
dars. The trunks of cedar, although
lying in a moist soil, have been almost
perfectly preserved for at least lot
years. the length of time that the rings
of growth show the hemlocks to have
been growing above their fallen prede
cessors.
