FOUR TOED GIANT
PROF. HENRY L. BRUNER's
 PROPHECIES.
''old Age Will Come at Century. Mark"-'Thought-Saving Ma
 chinerys will . Relieve the !. Present Routine of Brain

Indianapolis Special to New York World
 Strange men, far different from those now living, will walk the. earth in cen- tufies to come. They will be a race of brainy, for-toed giants, says Henry l.. Bruner. head of the biology depart ment of Butler University.
 The future man, he declares. will be a being in whom strange transformations shall have taken place; q being in which brain is master, ruling d body much larger than the body of the present man; a body which has lost it's floating ribs, its 'vermiform appendix and it's little toes, and in which many other changes have taken place. E
 ''The chest and the upper and lower limbs of the coming man will be larger. prophecies Professor Bfuner., And the future man will be much taller than his brother of today. i~
 The limbs of the savage man are smaller than those of the civilized man. Many artists fah utterly in their efforts to depoeit the anatomy of the primitive man. They place upon him limbs based on the anatomy of Greek art. The legs of the average man today are better than those of the average man in the days of the great Greek sculptors .,
 Future Man Will Live Longer"
 The future man will live longer: Within few generations old age Will not fall upon men until the century marx is reached. Communicable diseases Will have been brought under complete con trol.
 Insects which carry disease will have been exterminated. It is probable that the number of mans ribs will be reduced by the complete loss of the floating rips, and perhaps also by degeneration at the upper end of the thorax.
 "The human foot which has come from a grasping organ, such as we ind Tn some apes. to a mere ambulatory append age, will probably suffer the loss of the fifth toe, and the man of the future Will become a four-toed animal.
 "The future man will not die or appen- dicitis; even at the present time, in peo- pie of 60 years of age, the appendix IS closed in more than 50 per cent. of the cases observed.
 T believe that the ultra blond and the ultra brunette type will constantly de- and the hair. however, will never be reached.
 The man of the future will have su- perior teeth and hair. The lives of saw ages are shortened by the early decay Of their teeth There was more badness in the days of nightcaps than there Is now.
 Thought-Saving Machinery.
 '"rhought-saving machinery will relieve the future man of much of his present routine of brain work. Mathematical cal culations and all such drudgery will be performed by machine, and the thought thus saved will be expended in other pursuits. -
 "The memory of the future man will be of greater range. but less acute as to useless detail.
 "The sex of the future man will be predeterminable. For time there Will r. preponderance of one sex and then of another"

During the recent Boer war party
of Colonials and Yeomanry was told
off to capture small lager A
friendly Boer volunteered to show the
way, and left them when within sight
of the nre3 of the Boer laager to
make the attack as soon as dawn
appeared. Dawn came, only to find
the British themselves surrounded by
the Beers. There was one gap in the
gordon, and for this gap the Yeo.
n1anry made, their officer at their
head, leaving their Colonial comrades
with the guns to tackle the Beers as
best they could. In due course the
Yeomanry came to Gen. Clements
camp and he wired to Gen. Kitchener,
Company your Yeomanry turned up.
What shall do with them?" The
reply was almost Immediate: Keep
them as far from me as they kept
from the Beers"

Coming Events for December
by Prof. Gustave Meyer

The following is an Interpretation
of what the starry Messengers sig
Nifty and impart to me on Coming Ey.
ents" for the Month Of December, ac
cording to astrology.
The Interpretation is taken from the
new moon that occurs on Saturday
November %, 1902 at S:53 p. m.
Washington. ID. c., mean time, and
from that lunation | find the following
facts to be in evidence:
At the above given time. the roya!
and fierly zodiacal sign of Leo was ris.
ing on the eastern horizon.
AS the ruler of that sign is the
sun. and as the sun was posted in
the fifth mansion of the heavens, in
conjunction with the moon, and the
fortunate planet Venus. this signifies
that pleasures will be unusually large
throughout this mouth.
Yet. as the evil planet Uranus
is also posted in the fifth mansion and
badly affected therein by an evil as
pect to the evil planet Mars, this sig
nifies that during the fore part of De
eember pleasures will be greatly handi-
capped.
There shall occur great calamities
either in the nature of a fire or panics
in theaters. public buildings and ho-
tells.
The evil planet Mars was posted and
afflicted in the second mansion of the
heavens
This signifies that during this pc
riod there will occur some unusually
large failures and considerable trouble
in the commercial world.
Our government will experience con-
siderable trouble with its revenue and
otherwise and we shall hear of the
faiulre of large banks, great slumrs
in stocks panics in Wall street, New
York, and among the spectators in
general, and considerable trouble is
indicated to schools, children and
places of amusement.
The new moon for the month is de-
cidedly evil.
Yet find that the laboring classes
will be unusually fortunate.
Strikes will gradually come to an
end, or a favorable settlement will be
reached
But during the first week in De
cember there will be much excitement
and danger Of strifes and riots.
Great trouble is also indicated to Our
naval vessels.
This evil will commence during No
vember 30 and 30. and during Decem
Der 16, II, Is. 23 and "a.
1t would be we'll for our nevy depart
ment to warn all naval commanders to
take greater precautions than usual.
"Forewarned is forearmed."
The public health during this month
will be very poor and physicians will
naturally be quite prosperous in conse-
quence.
