post Company and Bell & Co. Of the Bank
Clerks Bowling League were contestants

overwhelmed by this fine display and went
to pieces. The third game showed the Ma

Size of Head No Test

1t has been popular belief, espe-
cially since the invention of phrenol.
ogy, that the size and shape of the
head are intimately related to the in.
tellectual capacity. Almost every.
body is accustomed to form dogmatic
judgments Of men based upon this
postulate. But the results of statisti.
cal investigation make it appear very
doubtful whether the belief in cues.
ton rests upon a sound foundation,
says the Cosmopolitan. The concl,,
sion Is that there exists, in the gem
eral population, very insignificant
correlation between ability and either
the size or the shape of the head.
Very brilliant men may have a slight
ly larger head than the average, but
the increase is so small that no
weight can be laid on it in our judg-
ment of ability. This is in accord
with the results of other attempts to
apply a scientific test to the assump
tons of phrenology.

War and the Birth Rate.

War not only influences the mo-
tality of the army in the field, but has
maleficent effect on the birthrate
and death rate of the country which is
fighting. A low birth rate may be en-
planned to some extent, by the fact
that when nation Is at war her peo-
pie at home are less prosperous ami
consequently marriages are not so fire.

GREAT SALT LAKE REcEDlNe,
FaI! Of the Level Since 1894 Amount
to Nearly Six Feet.


to Nearly Six Feet.
Great Salt Lake, in Utah, which for
several years has been slowly but
steadily receding, has, according to
Director Murdoch Of the United States
weather bureau, now reached the low.
est level recorded since observations
have been taken by the department.
Up to Aug. the lowest mark ever re.
corded was on July II. Since that
time the lake has receded four inches.
The fall Of the water since 1894
amounts to nearly six feet, and on
the low, fiat eastern shore this has
resulted in a recession of the water
line during that time of fully three.
quarters of mile. Speaking of this
phenomenon Director Murdoch said:
Utah has been in a dry cycle for
seventeen or eighteen years. In this
period the precipitation has been
much below the average. Precipi-
tation sometimes moves In cycles Of
this kind and duration, and l think
prolonged period OF increased precipi.
tation is nearly due. But it will take
several years to bring the lake back
to it's former level.
