COMPLEXION OF LUNATIcs.
Fewer Blondes Than Brunettes Are
Confined in the Asylums of
the Various States.

several months ago l happened
across pamphlet published by the
government of southern state, in
Which were some interesting statistics
regarding the complexion of the in.
mates of the state insane asylum, y
Hobart Langdon said. Only three PEI
cent. OF the total had light hair, AMI
only two Fer cent. blue eyes.
1T struck me as rather curious
fact that dark haired and dark eyed
people should so largely predominant
among the insane, but the matter of
latitude might play some part in this,
thought; for naturally there were
more dark than light haired people in
that section. Just as matter OF Curl
osity, however, l thought | would
write to asylum authorizes in certain
other parts of the country to see what
the ratio of light haired inmates was
to those who were dark, and expected
to find the percentage increase in COM
munities where the total of light
haired was larger, but in this l was
mistaken; SO l am led to infer from
the statistics l gathered that there is
a greater possibility for insanity
among dark haired than among light
haired people
My Hgures We're obtained from 60
asylums, located in nearly every state
in the union, and a few in Canada and
England. The total number of pa
tients in these institutions was 1852,
of whom 703 had light hair and only
66 red or auburn locks. In other
words, SO per cent Of the inmates
were brunettes, with either black OF
brown hair, the latter in varying
shades. In one asylum in New England
there was not a single inmate that Was
not brunette. OF course, do not
know how to account for this, for
am not a specialist in such matters,
and secured the statistics only out of
pure curiosity, but it certainly looks as
though blondes were less liable to in
sanity than those with darker hair or
eyes.
Another peculiar feature about the
facts l obtained, however, was that
the percentage of those regarded as
incurably insane was much greater
among the blondes than among the
brunettes. The totals show that
among the dark haired inmates only So
per cent. were marked hopelessly in
sane, while among the blondes 81 per
cent were put in this category, and
only three among the red haired pa
tients escaped the same classification. .

But Mr.. Van Wrinkles convincing

sign was posted. Immediately it be-
came q source of public amusement

MAY BE GREAT INVENTION.
New Engine of the Rotary Type Which
Is Attracting Attention Of
Technical Experts.

The New York Herald recently con-
tanned an account of the perfecting OF
the Hoffman rotary engine which, it is
claimed, will revolutionize the use of
steam. William F. Hoffman, of Buffalo,
the inventor of the new engine, has been
at work on the problem tor more than
80 years, and it is said emissaries from
the Russian government have been try
ing to induce him to part with the exclu-
slVe rights to the invention.
The story of Hoffman's struggle in his
battles with science are detailed minute
ly. Before he succeeded in securing the
perfected 3O0-horse power rotary he is
said to have constructed nine complete
engines and to have expended more than
100000. Some of the money was pro-
vided BY Wall street firm which after
ward was swept away in o financial
panic
The secret of the invention is said to be
the revolution of the cylinder outside of
the piston instead of revolving the pis-
ton inside the cylinder. Here are some of

Radium and Earth Heat.

Prof. E. Rutherford, of McGill univer-
sity, said in recent lecture that radiunl
is distributed very widely over the earth,
being present, in minute quantities.
everywhere. Since it keeps itself con-
tinuously at temperature several de-
grees above that of it's surroundings, the
question was suggested whether the
presence of radium could account for
the gradual increase of temperature as
we penetrate deeper into the earth. The
lecturer believed that the amount Of
radium present, if uniformly distributed,
would explain this increase, and would
account for all the heat lost from the
earth. In that case the date calculated
by Lord Kelvin, when the globe will be
SO far cooled as to be uninhabitable,
might possibly be postponed for few
million years.

Commenting upon the main scheme,
the circular continued: "This PROPOSE
ton is much fairer and more liberal
than those of London and Philadel-
phia, as the tenant is given the option
of purchasing at any time during the
term of the lease, and the rent is esti-
mated on the basis of four per cent. on
the money. You will ask what hap
pens at the end of 20 years! Long
before that time you will have raised
your family and have bought your
lot; but if you should not have done
so, will contract to buy your build
ings at fair valuation for cash,
should you desire to sell. 81 London
is almost entirely built on leased land,
and very large part of Philadelphia
is also built on leaseholds."
The property which Mr. Van Wrinkle
wished to populate was prairie land on
the outskirts of the city, but within
four or five blocks of electric lines.

terprising plan, Mr.. Van Wrinkle said:
mot a single lot was taken as re-
suit of my campaign. Only two or
three young couples came to see me
about it, but had quite good many
calls from ladies past 49, l have gone
over the whole proposition, and it
seems to me that it was a good one.
1t was not philanthropy on my part 1t
promised to give me while l lived q
small income from land upon which
now have to pay taxes. Some day the
land will advance in value, but not
quite soon enough for me to realize
from it while I am able to use the
money to advantage. Why, 80 years
ago two houses were built up here on
lots that lie between the city and my
present home. l remember hearing one
fellow say of those houses: What
kind of fool must man be to build
houses way out there in that lonesome
place on the prairie? No sidewalks, no
lights, no transportation, no good wa
ter-nothing." Within few years,
however, those houses were swallowed
up by the advancing city, the outskirts
OF which were extended several miles
beyond And the city hasn't stopped
growing, and is not going to stop My

ment to-day than those lots seemed

and l know pretty we'll what's going
on in them) and have come to these
conclusions:
First, young couples do not want
babies during the first few years of
married life. Among native born
Americans, babies are at discount
before they arrive. After there is one
baby in the family it couldn't be
bought for $1,000, Oo0-although the
parents would not give ten cents a
piece for others. The women evidently
have not lost the instinct of mother
hood, but often prefer to lavish their
affections on a dog, cat, or canary

dren, and make them producers as
soon as the law allows the children to
work.
Second, young couples do not want
homes of their own unless they can
have them on the boulevard, and as
the greater number of them cannot
afford that, they prefer to live as near
the boulevards as possible-in fats
where, with the many modern convent
ences, the women have less work and
trouble than they would have in homes
of their own. With most young cou-
pies, there is desire to "shine," to
commence where their parents are
leaving off. They buy furniture on the
installment plan and live in small
apartments.
Third, the city government grafters
have found that the small property
owner is a certain source of revenue
for sidewalks, sewers and other bene-
fits secured by special assessments at
VIGOROUSLY unfair prices, resulting
from conspiracy among officials and
contractors. These abuses in Chicago
have scared some of the young people
into flats.
