are taller than those born in the summer months

Importance to criminologists the world over
In his researches Mr.. Macdonald uses some
wonderfully delicate instruments. The algoneter'
looking not unlike ordinary thermometer, is
device for measuring pain. 1t is applied to the
temple, and is said to give accurate record OF
the degree Of pain. One of the most interesting
machines however, IS evenly balanced seesaW

weigh the blood called to the aid Of the brain In
mental calculation. AS the subject grapples with
a mental problem the blood rushes to the head

Is carefully noted. Another delicate instrument
makes it possible to measure the breathing as af-
fected by the emotions.
Mr. Macdonald has another instrument for de-
terminIng the acuteness of smell, and the ainette
