BRAINS SAID TO BE INHERITED

istics, both by man and the lower an,
imals, is too well known to need com.
ment, says Golfers Weekly. In the
same way we are accustomed to think
of mental attributes as being more or
less hereditary. From a priori consid-
Grafton we have every reason to
expect that the organ which is the
physical basis of the mental facul-
ties, the brain, should show in its
structure the influence of heredity. It
has rarely happened, however, that
any comparative study of the brain
structures of near relatives has been
possible.
A peculiarly fine opportunity for
such observations was afforded when
the brains of three brothers were CIV

ination. The brains were those OF
Willis, Burton and Fred Van Wormer,
all of whom were executed in New
York state. All three brains showed
marked similarity in general form.

Some unusual features were present
in all three; one characteristic in par.
ticular, which is OF great rarity, oc-
CURED in all three. These facts lend
much support to the idea that pc
culiarities of brain structure are inner
tied as well as pecuiiarities Of face
and figure. In the case OF these three
brothers no attempt was made to as
sociate the confguration of the brain
with the nature Of the crimes Of the
men.

BONES FROM THE SEA.
logger Bank the Last Refuge When
North Sea Was Makinq.

In the days when Great Britain and
ireland were geologlcally, not
politically-and were part OF the con.
inent of Europe; when the Irish sea,
ae Bristol channel, the English chan
leI. and even the North sea were
merely fertile valleys, various prehis-
toric beasts had a vast field on which
20 roam.
Edward Martin, in an article in
gnoT edge describes how these lands
oecime submerged, and how, when
the g'sst North sea plain sank be-
nsatt ihe waves. the Dogger island. as
1t may be called, was the last to go.
Here the wild animals would nat.
uTally congregate as they were driven
little by little from their old haunts
by the ever-advancing sea. and here
they were all finally entombed when
their last resting place disappeared.
And now 1t is a common thing for
the trawlers on the famous fishing
ground, which Is all that remains Of
the island, to catch among the fish A
bone or two which originally formed
part Of an antediluyian animal.
Indeed, the skeletons are said to be
so numerous on the Dogger bank that
scarcely a trawl is brought up which
does not contain a bone or tooth OF
one OF the ancient inhabitants OF the
submerged island.

is after the bureaucrats with his Hbig
stick.' In his letter Of instructions
to Assistant Secretary Keep, chairman
Of the committee appointed to investi-
gate the methods Of conducting the
business of all government departments,
which was made public today, he raps
{ the type Of bureaucrat who believes
that his entire work and that the en-
tire work of the governm enteshould be
the collecting of papers IN reference
to case, commenting with eager
minuteness on each, and corresponding
with other officials with reference
thereto. -
The president wants all this useless
letter-writing stopped and more general
business methods introduced every
where. -.v.s,t .'. J..

"the increase Of paperwork is serious
menace to the efficiency Of fighting Of

Gratis to spend time in making reports
which they should spend in increasing

ments under them.' y.
The investigating committee isdirected
to confer with the assistant secretaries
of the war and navy departments and
request them to submit to the president
a plan for doing away with the evils
referred to. In the civil departments

MUST OBEY HILL
OR FACE FIGHT
Northwestern Delegations in Con-
gress May Incur Railroad
Enmity.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, June 17.-New York
morning, papers publish dispatch from
St. Paul saying that James j. Hill is
organizing his forces in Minnesota and
North Dakota to compass the defeat Of
representatives and senators who favor
rate legislation. The dispatch says
Hill s immediate plans have to do with
North Dakota and the defeat of Sen
ator Hansbrough.
Information here is to the effect that
Hill is merely taking care of one small
part Of a comprehensive plan Of rail
road campaign. It is the desire of the
railroad interests to cover the entire
country as Hill wants to cover Mime
sofa and North Dakota. FIX =,
This does not occasion alarm at the
White House.
It is believed here that the publ
cation Of this plan will be sufficient to
defeat it. The American railways are
already too much in politics, and for
them to undertake seriously to carry
out such a plan would be the best guar
antee Of rate legislation, and possibly
of other things which the railways want
much less. g. B.: ss.lttt--sA:
Should this railway plan materializc
in any threatening way, the president
will go to the personal assistance of his
followers. H = - -.
It is believed here that Hill may try
to do for Senator Nelson in Minnesota
what he is said to be. trying to do for
Senator Hansbrough in North Dakota,
for Nelson has been very outspoken as
to his railroad views. Nelson 8 friends
in Washington trust the good sense
of the Minnesota and North Dakota
people to bring about Hill $ defeat, and
il is predicted here that if Nelson OF
Hansbrough should be turned down, it
will not be on account Of any stand
either may have taken on rate matters

Port Jervis, N. Y, June 17.-Mrs. M.
J. Moore of New York, bought a house
at Monticello, five years ago, and fitted
it up in fine style. She bought horse,
chickens and cow. The COW was of
high breed and cost a snug sum. When
Mrs. Moore went to New York recently
for a short stay she left her brother
in charge of the place. He fed the cow
a hot mash on the rec ommendation of a
neighbor. Next day he was astonished
to find that she had no upper teeth.
Upon Mrs. Moore s return she was much
incensed that her brother should have
been fooled into feeding the COW the
hot mash and destroying her upper
teeth. "Poor Bossy,' said she. elbow
will she eat now?'' -..
She sold the cow and went about to
find another. Much to her astonish-
ment she found that every COW she saw
had no upper front teeth.

mary.

north, but they are not as large as ex-

The census directors do not consider
the figures at all conclusive, as they
have come from smaller districts which
were quickly counted, but they do not
look for any increase in most Of the
southern counties.
