SCIENTISTS HAVE LONG SOUGHT A
SOLUTION TO PULLING QUESTION

Early human beings were afraid OF AMI
mails, and that ancient fear survives In
women today, being concentrated upon
the mouse.
One difficulty in this inquiry lies in the
circumstance that no woman seems to be
able to account for her dread of mouse.
Some women, 1t is true, have no such
fear, but there is no question that 1t does
affliot the great majority Of the sex. and
none Of those who feel it can tell the
reason why. When pushed on the poiat
they usually say:
''Well, because"
Occasionally they suggest feebly that
the rodent might bite but this is mere
pretense. No woman is able to cite a
case where anybody was bitten by q
mouse. s9u
Another theory advanced as an explain
alton Of why woman fears a mouse is
the fact that primitive human beings
lived in great caverns, which are usually
infested by sWarus Of mice. 1t is easy
: to realize that the women Of the caverns
must have suffered great annoyance
from these little animals, which scamp
cred over them in the night while they
? were sleeping with nothing but leaves or
the skins Of beasts to cover them. Thus
at length they became very nervous on
the subject, and this nervousness came
to be hereditary in their sex.
Some Of the scientific opinions point to
the conclusion that a woman, as a rule,
Is afraid of any small animal. A mouse
Is very active and, therefore, very start
ling to her She is more afraid Of small
animals than Of large ones. There are
women who are afraid of mice, and yet
will without the least hesitation beat the
life out Of a rat with a broomstick.
Again. this fear Of mice in women may
be attributed largely to the matter If
education Many mothers have been
known to teach their little daughters to
fear mice.
Some women have q fear Of mice on
account of the kind Of clothing they
wear They are not so much afraid Of
being bitten by mouse as they are OF
Its becoming entangled in the folds OF
their skirts. Thus woman's fear OF
mice may be said to result all from the
matter of clothing. If a man was dressed
like woman he would be just as much
afraid of q mouse as she Is, or vice
versa, If woman wore trousers she
would no more be afraid Of mouse than
a man Is.
A woman has the same antipathy to a
mouse as she has to snake, because
contact would be unpleasant.
The notion that a quick-darting, active
animal that bites hard may get under
ones clothes is a disagreeabie idea to
ANYBODY A woman does not like to feel
that her skirts are suitable hiding place
for a mouse to run to.
Some day In the distant future women
will not be so afraid Of mice as they are
now. because they will wear trousers.
From this point Of view the mouse may
be regarded as an argument for dress re-
form. :

HY does q woman rear
VI mouse7 This interesting
MAIL psychological problem has
| Wv been an attractive puzzle to
men ever since the members
- of the fair sex have evinced
a fear of the little rodents. 1t has been
gravely discussed In clubs and in social
gatherings. In fact, wherever men are
accustomed to assemble Is this universal
weakness Of woman an interesting topic.
Men of science have attempted to ex-
plain the mystery and various weighty
opinions on the subject have been
offered. While many noteworthy sugges-
tions have been advanced, as yet no sat
isfactory solution Of the, puzzlings prob
lem has been discovered. 4g ass
From all the learned opinions 1t can
hardly be said that, taken singly or In
lump, they point to a satisfactory solu-
ton Of the puzzlng problem At the
same time they throw some light on the
subject, and afford basis for future
philosophical investigation of the great
question of the woman and the mouse.
Some women will squeal at the sight Of
q worm about as quickly as at a mouse.
Men are easily startled by small animals
that are quick Of movement, but they are
not so highly organized nervously, and 1t
never occurs to them to scream. The last
thing a man thinks Of when he Is fright
ened is to scream.
A woman has an inherent antipathy to
an animal against which she cannot de-
fend herself and from which she cannot
get away.
1t can now be said, however that the
women Of today are not so much afraid
of mice as they used to be. They know
more about natural history than form
erly: they are more athletic and less
afraid Of being hurt. The woman of to-
day has fewer nerves; she faints and goes
into Mysteries less often than her grand
mother did.
Ethnologists have put on record an
opinion to the effect that woman's fear
of mouse dates back to primeval times
that it is an inheritance from the mon
key-woman Of an ancient epoch. The
monkey-woman had a great dread Of
mice, which she has handed down to de-
scendants of her own sex now surviving
on the earth. These descendants, the
women of today, do not know why they
are afraid of the little rodents. It is an
instinct, evidently derived from a remote
antiquity.
This fear Of mice in women, ethnolog-
lists declare, goes back to her protohu-
man ancestors. 1t may be taken for
granted that woman's remote monkey
like progenitrix was afraid Of mice.
Unquestionably the earliest human be-
ings, properly so-called. lived in trees
and fed upon fruits. They did not seek
to kill animals, but tried to get away
from them. The mouse, which ate their
stored provisions, was the one particular
animal from which they could not escape.

Washington:
81 am still under the deep impression
created by the splendid and cordlal recep-
tlon of my brother, Prince Henry, py the
citizens of the United States OF America.
In the speeches with which he was greeted
the fact was often mentioned that my an

of the friendly relations which have always
existed between our two countries. The

eisit, on horseback, to the devastated
district of this island, during which
he travelled so miles, and penetrated
to within five miles of the Soufriere
crater. The ash-covered area of st.
Vincent exceeds that of Martinique,
which the correspondent has also
explored. The most conservative es-
innate of the death rate here now
places the number at 1,700. About
1900 bodies have already been in
tered. The entire northern part of
the island is covered with ashes to an
average depth of IS inches, varying
from a thin layer at Kingstown to
two feet or more at Georgetown.
The crops are ruined, nothing green
can be seen.
While the outbreak of the volcano
on the island of Martinique killed
more people outright, more territory
has been ruined in ST. Vincent, hence
there is greater destruction here.
The sulphuric vapors which still eX-
hale all over the island are increasing
the sickness and mortality among the
surviving inha bitants and are causing
suffering among the new arrivals. The
hospital stats are giving way to over
work and are with difficulty bear
ing up.
The stencil in the afflicted districts
is terrible beyond description. Near
ly all the huts left standing are filed
with dead bodies. In some cases dis
infectants and the usual means of dis
posing of the dead are useless, and
cremation has been resorted to. When
it is possible, the bodies are dragged
with ropes to the trenches and are
there hastily covered up, quicklime be-
ing used when available. Many of the
dead bodies were so covered with dust
that they were not discovered until
walked upon by visitors or by the re-
lieving officers or their assistants. The
scenes witnessed were unprecedented
in the history of this colony.
Owing to the great heat it is still
impossible to approach the Soufriere
volcano from the 1eeward side. In
teresting discoveries have been made
regarding physical changes on ST..
Vincent resulting from the eruptions.
