In his volume on the diseases of the
hair, NJ. II. Sabouraud refutes some
popular errors regarding the cause Of
badness. Badness is usually consid-
cred an infirmity of old age. and when
it takes place in early life all sorts OF
explanations are invoked, one as base
less as another. As matter of fact
the critical age for badness in men is
from twenty TO thirty years Women
are less open TO the attacks of the mi
crOhe of this disease. The earliest bald
ness occurs in young men of from six
teen to eighteen years, and the skull
is often bare at twenty-five. The most
common agc for the beginning Of the
disease is twcnty-thrce and the bald
ness is usually complete at fifty. The
latest age for The beginning is about
forty. and in such cases The dcnudation
of hair proceeds with extreme slow
ness. The younger the subject the
quicker the disease attains it's com
plote effect. II is not q malady OF the
aged but rather OF The young.

Professor Becker sends the light

Professor Tyndall used to explain to
popular audiences. with the aid of n
brilliant experiment. that the blue
color of the sky is owing to floating
particles of invisible dust that break
up and scatter the short waves. which
are the blue waves, of light. This, rs
a writer in knowledge shows, occurs
principally at a great elevation. where
the atmospheric dust is extremely fine,
while in the lower regions of the air.
where the dust is coarser. the scatter.
ing affects all the rays, or colors, alike.
The brilliant fringes of clouds, seen
nearly in the direction of the sun, are
largely due TO dust, which especially
accumulates in the neighborhood Of
clouds. and refracts the sunlight
around their edges.

To explain the appearance of life up

spontaneous generation, by which is

Can science give MS unquestioned in

knows two things with certainty; first,

Our Departmental SoIons are
Stumped.
A PUZZLING QUESTION
Minister Hunters Son Kills William Fitzgerald
in Guatemala City and Takes Rfuge
in the Legation L---ShaIl he be
surrendered?
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c., Nov. 21.-The State
frey Hunter, Jr, son of the United States
minister at Guatemala Getty, today shot
and killed William Fitzgerald, of Grand
Rapids, Mich. Hunter has taken refuge
in the legation and an interesting ques-
tion has arisen as to his exemption from
arrest.
Important details are lacking in the
report of the affair which has come to
the department, and the officials are in
doubt as to what should be done. They
have no notion of surrendering with
out protest an American citizen to the
local courts of Guatemala, unless salts
fed that the man is proper subject for
punishment. closer inspection of the
original advice revealed the fact that the
only name by which the man was known
was Fitzgerald he had not the name Will
liam, as was supposed at first. He was
shot four times. Another important fact
developed was that young Hunter was
accompanied at the time of the shooting
by the secretary of the legation. This
official is set down in the register as
uSIuS JdIucS Daley, Ol heHluChyS MHO
went to his post in June, 1901. The cable
gram also, rather by suggestion than by
direct statement, gave ground for an in
ference that the killing was provoked.
Not much is known here of the per-
sonality of Godfrey Hunter, Jr., and it is
impossible to learn definitely whether
or not he was actually connected Off
cially with the United States legation at
Guatemala City at the time of the kill
ing. That he had been a clerk or type
writer in the legation is established but
in some quarters it is said that connec-
tion had been terminated for some time.
This may be a very important point in
settling the question of exemption Of
young Hunter from arrest, for a legation
attache or employee enjoys large part
of the exemptions conferred by interna-
tional law on an ambassador or minis
ter. Another point that may operate in
Hunters favor is his kinship to the min
lister.
The excitement in the neighborhood of
the legation in Guatemala City has made
it difficult for the State Department to
obtain any information from any unbiased
person connected with the legation and
not involved in the affray. Therefore it
is probable that it will await some ap-
plication from the Guatemalan authori-
ties for the surrender of young Hunter
and decide Hunters claim to exemption
from arrest on the basis of all facts
presented.
It is suggested here that the shooting
affray may have been the result of the
recent relief of DR.. Hunter from his
post as minister. The Doctor has been
steadily embroiled with members of the
American colony almost since he as
sumed office in 1897, and lately owing to
his connection with government rail-
road and other matters not supposed to
be proper for minister to meddle with
The pressure became SO acute that the
department was obliged to relieve him
from office. 1T may be that Fitzgerald
was connected in some way with the
charges made against the minister.
