Tie Size of the Head.

Professor Pearson, biologist, has
renewed the investigation into the
question of the relation between size
of head and intellectual preponderance,
If the workingman has smaller head
OH the average than the professional
man, Professor Pearson points out that
the difference is due to better nutri'
ton. But apart from such a wide
comparison he arrived at stricter con.
clusions by the Investigations Of meas
urements made on Cambridge under.
graduates whose careers were known
The results given show that there is
no marked correlation between ability
as Judged by entry for an honors eX'
animation and the size or the shape of
the head. When schools were selected
for testing the question essentially sim.
liar results We're obtained. A third
series of researches Of wider extent
resulted in the conclusion that very
brilliant men may have head slightly
larger than the average, but Professor
Pearson adds that the increase is sc
small that it cannot form any element
in our judgment of ability.-Baltlmore

Consular Clerks,

The recent appointment of q con
sular clerk under the Department Of
State has called attention to the pc
culiar status of those offices The law
provides for thirteen consular clerks
and fixes their pay for the first five
years of service at $1,000, but allows
them actual expenses when travelling
or serving in foreign lands, which is
usually the case. They are appointed
by the President and serve practically
for life. The statute governing thel
tenure provides that consular clerk
"shall not be removed from Office eX'
cept for cause, stated in writing, which
shall be submitted to Congress at the
session first following such removal
This is the only instance in the history
of the United States where the House
of Representatives has direct interest
in an Office in the executive branch Of
the Government. III practically all
Presidential appointments the concur
renee OF the Senate is essential, but
this Is the only case where Congress
as a body has an interest.-Washing

One THING Certain. .

DO you know, said the thoughtful
man, who was always devising some way
to become fabulously rich in short
time, that the two great oceans contain
something like 100000 tons OF silver IN
solution9"
is that so?' returned the practical
man.
1T is" said the dreamer. Does not
such an extraordinary fact as that bring
some wonderful new idea to your
mind?"
1T does" admitted the practical man.
1T gives absolutely convincing evidence

are volcanic. Very seldom is a vol
cano found far inland, and when It is
so situated It IL generally in the vlcin-
ity of a lake or where body of water
has at some time existed.
The largest ones are on the Hawaiian
Islands. In ages past their terrible
upheavals must have convulsed the
world.
Besides them, Vesuvius which has n
base circumference Of thirty miles, is
pigmy.
The largest volcano in America is Po'
pocatapetl, in Mexico. 1t rises to a
height of 1908 Spanish feet above the
sea level and the circumference of the
crater is 14,000 feet. For many years
it was dormant, but in 1894 it spit a
little fire and created a great deal Of
fear. Since that time 1t has beer
quiet.
In the United States the most i'm
mense volcano is Mt. Rainier, near
Tacoma, Wash. 1t is more than $4,000
feet high and is supposed to be extinct.
Volcanoes on the American continent
and contiguous islands have never
caused any enormous sacrifice Of life
through eruptions since white men set
tied the country until the st. Pierre oc.
currence.
There are a large number that have
always caused more or less uneasiness,
however, through their tendency TO
break out, and not few in Mexico,
Central and South America have
caused the deaths of considerable num-
bers of people
On islands in the Pacific, China, Ja-
pan and many Aslatic and European
countries the loss from this cause has
reached an enormous aggregate.
The most violent disturbance ever
known to have resulted from an erup-
ton was that which destroyed Kroka-
toa an island in the Straits of Sunda,
on August ~, 1888.
1t was also the most disastrous i'm
the destruction Of life since Pompeii
was buried until st. Pierre was de.
stroyed.
The explosion buried the island and
about 10000 inhabitants at the bottom
of the sea in the course of few
minutes.
The vibratory effects were felt
around the world.
1t caused a tidal wave which reached
San Francisco and wiped out many
villages on the Island Of Sumatra,
while It was on the way.
The noise of the explosion was heard
in India, it was heard in Australia and
it was heard in the Island OF Roderl-
Quez, 296S miles distant.
The seismic wave Of sea was seen at
Cape Horn, 1900 miles from the scene
of the calamity. and at point in Su.
maha it carried the Dutch manof-
war Benow two miles inland and left
the vessel high and dry thirty feet
above the level of the sea.
An air wave was created by the ex-
plosion which Travelled three times
around the world before 1t became dis
sipated.
While eruptions of volcanoes always
cause the most dread, the earthquakes
cause the greater loss of life and prop
erty by an overwhelming amount.
1t is estimated that the destruction
of human beings through this medium
is greater than any other agency but
disease.
From first to last during human &C.
cupancy Of this planet it has been fig
ured that 100000 people have become
moribund as n result Of earthquake
disasters.
On this continent they have been
most disastrous on the Pacific coast,
in Mexico and the countries south Of
it.
Below Is a list OF the greatest disas-
ters from this cause during n period
covered by medieval and subsequent
| history.

ALMOST A MIRACLE
!HE WONDERFUL RECOVERY OF A
MINNESOTA MAN.
His Lower Limbs Had Become Useless and

A snake.

He Dragged Himself Around Like
A snake.
While the story Of the wonderful re-
,overy Of John Hunter in tho little tow,
of Chico, Calf, from paralysis and loco.
motor ataXia is still fresh in the mind of
everyone, an account of another equally
remarkable and somewhat similar case
comes from Minnesota.
Near Northfeld, Mimi, lives P. A.
O'Brien, known to everybody round
about the town. In the fail of 1900 he
was obliged to give up work, because OF
disease which one Of the physicians
who attended him called locomotor
ataxia and another paralysis. He suf.
Tered for more than three years and, for
part of the time, lay in a harness by the
doctors direction. He grew worse and
The physicians pronounced him incurable.
But at last, like a miracle, came his
cure. Let him tell the story:
cit had been coming on slowly for
eight years" he says. "a cold numb.
moss commenced in my feet and worked
upwards. 1t grew worse, and, in Nov.
enber, 1900, had to quit work. The
disease bent me over, and, when I at.
tempted to straighten up, 1t felt as if
someone was cutting mo in the pit of the
stomach with a knife. l always felt
tired and could not rest At night, my feet
felt rs if there were needles sticking in
them and my legs got so numb that could
stick pins in them and never feel it.
They would shake so sometimes that I
could not hold them still with both
hands.
"Then got so that I could not walk
and ! had to pull myself around like a
snake. When / got excited my heart
would palpitate and I would choke up.
My kidneys also became affected and
caused me much pain"
Didn't the doctors help you?" was
asked.
" No. One Of them had me on my
bed in harness for several months, but
that did me nogood. They tried various
things aud, at last, said l could not be
cured.
" began taking DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. The first box
stopped my pain so l could sleep good
1t was a week before / could move my
feet the least bit, but from that on
gained pretty fast. / will never stop
praising DR.. Williams Pink Pills, for
they have made new man of me-"

Especial Dispatch 10 The Times.)
BLUEF1ELD, w. VA, Sept. 1.-The
strike situation along the Clinch Valley
has assumed a very serious aspect, and
the operators and the people of the sec
ton generally are much discouraged at
the outlook. Authentic information re-
ceived here this morning that the strik-
ing miners fired the plant of the Russell
Creek Company at Virginia City.
The tipple, which was a very large
building, was totally destroyed, and the
engine house and number of other build
ings were burned to the ground.
A number OF loaded cars were also
burned. So far as can be learned no ar
rest have yet been made, and it is not
known whether the crime can be fas-
tened on any special man or gang of men.
The news came as a. great surprise
Bluefeld parties. who are stockholders
in the works. The theory is advanced
By some that determination on the
part of the majority of the strikers to
return to work, so enraged the more Bit
ter element that they fired the plant in
order to more effectually prevent any
resumption.
It is predicted that Governor Montague
will be asked to send troops into the re-
gion. and from recent developments it
would seem that troops are badly needed.
