Uranium Of the Scotchman.

From the London Globe
Sir William Turner has begun a. udy OF
Scotch crania. and his first contribution
has appeared in the Transactions of the
Royal Soc.ety of Edinburgh. 1t is based
on 176 skulls OH male and 80 female),
chiefly from the lowlands to the south of
the Tay and Clyde. His results. in brief,
that the Scottish skull Is large and
capacious; the vertex is seldom heeied or
roofiike, but has a low rounded arch in
the vertical transverse plane at and behind
the bregma The side walls bulge outward
slightly. with greatest width usually at or
near the squamous suture. The glaSeila
and ridges over the eyes in men are fairly
but not strongly pronounced, the forehead
slightly recedes from the vertical. From
the cephalic indices II would appear that "a
brachycephalic (croad) type OF skull pre-
vailed in the, Lothians. Fife, Forfar, Kin
caroline and Banff, all eastern counties,
and Ii occurs in Shetland. Ssirl n sh re,
Ayr and PEBBLES. a border county. The
dolichocephalic narrow type OF skull s
poorly represented in Fife. 1t is commoner
in Lothian, and occurs in Lanark Ayr,
Shetland and the HebriSes. 1t prevails in
Wigtonshire. Caithness. in the skulls from
the Highland counties, and in those from
Renfrewshire. Scott sh skulls have n yer-
teal diameter less than the breadth. that
is. they are Interchangeable. The
maximum capacity for males was 1.s5l
cubic centimeters, the minimum 1880 and
the mean AIS. The same data for females
were 1623. 1,100 1,a22 cubic centimeters.
The Scotch skull, therefore, is apparently
above the mean for other European men.
The long skulls had distinctly larger
mean capacity than the broad PERHAPS
this accounts for the Scotch calling a
shrewd. polite fellow 'longheaded." Fife
show the highest mean capacity: Edin-
burgh and Leith West Lothian. the north
eastern and Highland counties gave TIE
lowest mean.

DEATH TO CRAWFISH.
Carbolic Acid Used for Protection Of
Mississippi Levees.
Orleans Tlmes-Democrat.

From the New Orleans Times-D Democrat.
Carbolic acid is being used more extern
sively this year than ever before by the
men who are seeking to preserve the ieeves
from attack by that clawing and insidious
member. the crawfish
Crawfishes are more numerous too than
ever before, at many points along the river.
Probably tine extreme high water of last
spring had something to do with making
the members OF this family more numerous.
At any rate. they are here in large num-
bers. and as usual have been boring holes
through the levees at many places
Under direction of the Orleans levee
board the slaughter OF crswfsh has been
progressing quietly at certain points within
the boards jurisdiction. and similar work
has been carried on by other agencies.
Down about Jackson barracks, the Orleans
board has within the last few days used
carbolic acid with good results in an effort
10 extermlnate the crawfsh The method
Of using carboic acid is simple, and the
remedy is an old one. Planters have been
using carbolic acid for many years, and. of
recent years the levee boards along the
river have used this method of eXtermna-
ton.
The acid is simply poured into the holes
which are burrowed by the crawfish. and
escape becomes impossible. They sicken
which pollutes the water. Often ii is i'm
possible to reach the crawiish with the
acid for The reason that they burrow into
the embankment from point below the
water level. II is only possible TO reach
them when the opening Is above the level
of the water The quantity of acid used
depends upon the depth OF the opening in
the leVee's side. Crawfishes burrow frreg-
ularly along the contour OF the levee, and
depth and distance are always matters OF
uncertainty.

Bad Manners of Some Women.
the Providence Journal


1t is no doubt quite as impossible to in
diet sex as it is to indict Il nation; and
yet several recent episodes suggest the
question, certainly an unpleasant one to
ask. whether the manners of women have
not deteriorated somewhat with the growth
of their so-called freedom. There are few
critics, even of the reactionary type, who
would advocate seriously return to the
somewhat stilted fashion of former days.
What the older novelists liked to call "fe-
male delicacy" was perhaps too much in
evidence at the strenuous moments of life.
We do not appreciate today the young
woman who faints too easily. Indeed, the
modern ideal rs distinctly athletic and a
very good thing. too. Nevertheless, 1t would
be pity If Astounding physical vigor had
