London, Nov. The controversy
over what was in the mind Of Charles

solved on indisputable evidence.
Luke Fields, the well-known artist,

veal it.. The question which has exer-
cised the minds Of all who have seri-
ously studied Dickens unfinished novel
was, ''Was Edwin brood killed or
not?' 3a

the, story as it originally appeared.

London, Nov. 4.-The remarkable sue
cess of the New Zealand football play
ers, who are continuing simply to
smother the best combination Of the
English teams pitted against them, is
exciting great interest among all ath-
letes, foreign as we'll as English. Sew

Belgium to study these colonial athletes
and discover something in their system
Of training, but Of system there is none.
One of the team, being asked what it
was, looked intensely surprised at the
question and said: fsOn tour the boys
must live as they want to. They do
not upset themselves by trying fancy
tricks in diet and that sort Of thing.
We live according to no special rules

dumb bells on an empty stomach, but
we get good night s rest and after
breakfast we may turn out at about 10

else and practice put, In an hour or two
getting rid of superhuous accumula-
tions. But there is no exhausting
strain and no constant endeavor to be
in the pink of perfection.
With the exception Of periodical
practice and games we live, much as
other men do, who go to BUSINESS and
still keep healthy and in good condi-

NATIONS BLOND OR
BRUNETTE; WHY?
British Scientist Says Climate and
Heredity Govern Color of
a Peoples Hair.
New York Herald Special Service.

New York Herald Special Service.
London, Nov. 4-''What are the cir
cumstances which determine the color
of a nation s hair and the hue of peo-
pie IS eyes9' was the question dis
Memorial % lecture before the Anthropo-
logical society the other night.
The answer might be condensed into
the single phrase which DR.. Beddoe
Employed: Geographical position is
the warp and heredity the woof.' % That
is to say, that while the farther south
a nation lives, the darker It's halr and
eyes. Yet the distribution of dark and
light hair is such as to show the ef-
fects of migration.
Racial Colors Persist.
A race having settled in a country
not its own will retain thru generations
it's racial colors, and this fact was most
clearly shown by a series Of color maps.
In looking at these maps one could see
south, but not uniformly. 1t had many
patches and these patches conceded in
remarkable degree with racial boun-
daries. Thus, one could see the light
hair Of the light invasion, stopping
short at the Hartz mountains. There
are other remarkable phases in Bel
gium, for instance, swhere a horizontal
line can be drawn across the country
representing the light and dark-haired
! people, who in truth were the Flemings
and Walloons, who have never mingled.
| In DR.. Beddoe 8 map of the United
| Kingdom the Importance of race in de-
termining the color of hair is magni-
fed rather than reduced by a smaller
scale Of examples. For instance, no
very perceptible deepening of the tint
| of the hair is observable between the
north of Scotland and the south of
England. Along the border between
Scotland and England, and strength
ening down into the midlands and along
the English east coast, colors mark the
successive Scandinavian invasiOns which
landed chiefly on the east and the north
east coasts, and thrust their way into
the pastoral lands. s." .,.
.,. Wedge in Ireland.
Similarly in Ireland among the dark:
haired Celts there is a light: haired
wedge running up thru Cork to the
good grazing land of Tipperary.
It is sometimes said that these light
haired peoples are the descendants OF
Cromwell's soldiers, but that is not
probable. It is much more likely that
they represent the Scandinavian in
vasions. ~
In towns such as London, the ten
dency appears to be to darken. but II
London the darkest-haired sections arr
in the east end, and it is noticeable
that the upper classes tend more per
ceptibly to light hair.

XIV. s HEART
IN ENGLISH TOMB.
Briton Says English Dean swal-
lowed It and Was Buried in
Westminster.
New York Herald Special Service.

London, Nov "A remarkable story
regarding the heart of Louis XIV, and
how it came to be buried in Westmin-
ster abbey is told in this week s Truth
by Mr.. Labouchcre, who says the story
was told him by the late Colonel Har-
court, and was confirmed by his brother
the late Sir William Harcourt.
Colonel Harcourt, who lived during
the first French revolution had many
connections in France and invited many
of the emigres to visit him. Among
these was the Canon of St. Denis. On
leaving, the canon expressed his thanks
for the kindly hospitality Of his host,
and produced from his pocket something
that looked like a piece of dried leather
an inch or so long, which he presented
to him. 49,.
81 was,'' he said, Gin the cathedral
when the royal tombs were broken open
and the contents scattered to the winds.
This heart is that of Louis XIV, It
was kept in a separate receptacle and L
managed to get away with it. - "
The heart thus came into the pos
session of the Harcourt family and was
occasionally produced for the inspec-
tion of visitors as a curiosity.
The late DR.. Buckland, dean Of West
minister, was on visit at one time when
the heart was brought out for his in
spection. He was then very old and
had some reputation as man of science,
and the scientific spirit moved him to
wet his finger and rub it on the heart.
He put the finger to his mouth after
that, and before he could be stopped he
put. the heart into his: mouth and swal-
lowed it, whether by accident or de-
sign will never be known. D..
Very shortly afterward he died and
was buried in Westminster Abbey; 1t
is impossible that he could have diges-
ted the thing. It must have been a
pretty tough organ to start with, and
age had almost petrifed it. Conse-
quently the heart of Louis XIV must
now be reposing in Westminster abbey

IDLE MILLION TO

Remarkable Demonstration by

London, Nov. "A remarkable DEM
onstration will take place in this city
Monday when a delegation represents

on Premier Balfour and urge the ne
cessity for heroic measures to avert
the terrors of workless winter. Five
thousand men and the wives and

shall go to point out that it is the
states duty to wrestle with the serious
and pitiable economic problem which
this horde OF hungry ana idle citizens
presents.
We shall ask that special reso-
luton Of parliament be called to vote
money for national public works, such
as the reclamation of waste lands, re-
forestration and bodybuilding. These

mediate employment to hundreds Of

Pathos of the Situation.
| "The .pathos and urgency of the
situation cannot be exaggerated. The
! organs Of the aristocracy are assai]ing
our demonstration as socialistic, but
Great Britain is confronted with con-
dltlon, not d theory. The time has
passed for controversy by doctrinaires.
What is needed is action.
The unprecedentedlY large number
of worklsss- persons is not confined to
any particular trade or race. It is the
general result of the growing of the
introduction of labor-saving machinery
and of the consolidation principle which
is epidemic among the capitalist class.
The government must realize that
something is wrong when the countries
steadily increasing trade is accom-
panied by steady decrease in the de-
mand for labor. AS far back as tho
EliZabethan era the state formally rec
ognized that its duty is to provide work
and food for the unemployed. We shall
recall the ancient legislation at the
audience with the prime minister on
IMonday.' ~ ".1r.

; ~ .t
Paris, Nov. Parliament has reas-
sembled and several interpretations
have been announced. Parliament has
also been characterized by the voting
Of an amnesty bill in favor Of the per-
sons condemned by the high court, that
is, that Deroulede, who alone remained
abroad, the others having been par
doned or having accomplished their SEN
tence, may return.
AS NJ. Rouvier, the prime minister,
pointed out, the vote on such bill
shows not only the great strength Of
the government but also the profound
political tranquility of the country.
This is why the demand for a revision
of the constitution, brought in by NJ.
Gautheir de Clagny, was small. Want
ing in appropriations, the chamber re-
fused to vote urgency for this propo-
sition. which probably will not even be
formulated. Besides the constitution ne
wanted to reform, has given proofs OF
its solidity. 1t has lasted twice as
long as any preceding constitution dur.
ing the last century. The duration of
the empires and monarchies in France
in the nineteenth century varied be-
tween fifteen and eighteen years, and
the present republic has entered upon
it's thirty year. go
This has not prevented certain people
from urging Cesarism by the transfer
Of the election of the president to the
parliament from the people. When one
sees whittier the government OF single
man has brought unfortunate Russia
and when one compares Russia In dlsso'
!, luton, with republican France one is
forced to find that the moment is badly
chosen to demand Cesar, the<more sc
as M. Loubet, elected by parliament
terminates his magistry amid the re-
spect Of Europe and the enthusiastic
acclamations Of the peoples among
| Spain and Portugal. President Lou
bet IS success has been considerable, ane
we must remember it is France which
benefits by this success.
One can say that the year, which Il
drawing to close, has given great
object lesson to the human race. by
showing that there is no privileged po
litical form, and in showing on the: ont
hand the French republic based OF
reasonable universal suffrage, arrive a

A proverb declares that like draw
