mined to find out why the Japanese, as
a rule. are of lower stature than the
natives of other countries, and after
spending considerable time at the task
he arrived at the conclusion that the
reoson is because from time imme-
mortal they have been accustomed to
SQUAT on mats in Turkish fashion IN
stead of sitting down on chairs as
Americans and Europeans do. The
Jananese method Of sitting, be says,
interferes with the free circulation OF
the blood and naturally prevents the
limbs from becoming thoroughly de-

As 4 proof that he is right he draws
attention TO the fact that the boys III

five or six centimetcrs than their an
cestors were at a similar age. and he
maintains that the reason is because

Spurzheim and to be a comparatively
modern so called "science." But 1t
can be traced back to the sixteenth
century at least, for in book pub
lished at that time by "Mayster Jhe-

n head on which are most distinct
ly marked chronological attributes.
'Imaginativa" occupies the place now
given on the charts to "ideallty;
fantasia" takes the place of the mod
ern 'marvelousness," "estimantia" or
"constructivcness." while "cogitan-
tia" is given instead of hope" The
author states that the brain hath cells
or chambers, and each cell contains a
part of the understanding, and that
these parts may be expressly seen IN
the figure of the head. Phrenologists
can at least disclaim against their
