PROPOUNDS A NEW
THEORY OF LIFE
Prof. Pierson Describes Uncon-
scious Selection on the Part
of Man and Wife
Special Foreign Service

Special Foreign Service
LONDON, March 25.-New theories
of unconscious selection on the part
of man and wife-like mating with
Ike-as opposed to Darwin's idea that
men and women depend upon their
perceptive and Intellectual faculties in
choosing each other, were propounded
by Prof. Carl Pierson of University COL
iege. London, this week, at the Royal
institution.
He maintained that man has an un-
conscious tendency to select a wife of
his own height, With eyes of his own
color, proportionate span from fore
nnger to forefinger, a forearm corre-
spending to his own, and constitution
Of like physical vigor.
These theories he expounded by
means of table and diagram. Among
every thousand men the color of the
eyes is divided as follows: Blue, 1868;
cream, 312; hazel, 127; brown, "a.
The eyes of women are generally
darker, only 2S6 of them in every
thousand having blue ones. II these
blue eyed people married at random,
the result would be that they would
mate at the rate of 104 per 1000; but
he had discovered that the actual num-
Der OF marriages per 1000 of blue eyed
dom average. thus proving that the
blue eyed man and the blue eyed
woman are unconsciously attracted
toward one another.
In the same way, men with greenish-
gray or hazel eyes tend to marry wom-
en- with eyes of like color.
The average height of a man he gave
as from 81 inches to 6S inches, that of
woman as 621s inches, and he con-
tended that the average tall man has
tall wife, and the short man a short
wife.
One could hardly imagine a man
choosing wife by measuring her from
forebnger to forefinger," said the pro-
fessor; yet his diagrams demonstrated
tnat as the span of one increased so
old that OF the other. A like result
was produced in the measurement Of
thousand of -forearms, his figures
showing that there was a distinct ten
dency on the part of men with long
forearms to marry wives with pro-
portionately long forearms.

sioner to succeed Lord Miner In

SHOWS DEVELOPMENT OF
BRITAIN FOR IS YEARS
Foreign Service

Special Foreign Service
LONDON, March 25.-The first issue
of new official publication, the Sta
tistical Abstract for the British Empire
from 1889 to 1903.' was published this
week, and gives a birdseye view Of the
development of the empire during fif-
teen eventful years.
1t has been said that John Bull owns
the earth" and certainly this abstract
proves that he owns a very consider
able proportion of the planet. The
area of the empire is placed in the alb
stract at 1881, 300 square miles, and it's
population in 1901 at 350.688,000 souls.
The imports and exports of this vast
territory are upon a prodigious scale.
though il will be noticed that through
out the empire the imports are growing
faster than the exports. or the con-
sumption faster than the production
In the fifteen years covered by the alb
stract the exports of the empire rose
from 302.266,000 pounds sterling to
3S7.795,000 pounds. while the imports
rose from 39S, S,314000 to $40, ,357 900
pounds. India and Canada doubled
their exports in the fifteen years. while
Australia trebled them. The statistics
of the empire show that with a little
encouragement the countries under the
British flag could produce all that the
Npire requires.

LONDON, March 25.-Lord James of
Hereford and Lord George Hamilton,
M. p, were this week the principal
speakers at a meeting held under the
auspices of the Chelsea branch of the
Free Trade league at St. Johns mis-
sion hall.
Lord James of Hereford, in moving
the first resolution, said it was not un-
til 1903 that a powerful voice was
raised asking the people to return to
the evil days of protection. A great
organization was set up-associations
We're captured, newspapers were pur-
chased,- and even pantOmimes subsi-
dlzed in support of the cry for pro-
lection He hoped, however, he was
not TOO sangulne in saying that the at
tack on free trade by assault had
Jailed. This was a contest between the
producer and the consumer, and be-
tween those who wished to see cheap
ness Tor the workingmen and those
VINO wished to see the wealth of the
manufacturer increase. There was no
DOUBT that while the foreign and colo
mai trade was increasing the home
trade was in state of depression, and
there were many unemployed. The
prosperity of the country was to be
measured by the spending power of the
people The tax and rate collector
stood in the way of that spending poW-
er. The fact was Great Britain was
paying C 70,00O,000 in taxation more
than twenty years ago. She was still
standing within the shadow of war
HE was not cavilling at the war, but
ne protested against the unemployment
Delns put down as a consequence of
free trade. He moved that this meet
ing of the Chelsea Free Trade league,
fully appreciating the benefits con-
ferred upon this country by our pres
ent free trade fiscal policy pledges
itself to use every legitimate means to
maintain its continuance
Lord George Hamilton, NJ. P, in sec
onding the resolution, said that he had
been taught by Lord Beaconsfield and
Lord Salisbury to believe that Just so
much as this country put aside pro-
tectfve theories so the commerce and
strengthened. Great Britain had
achieved a success which was unparal-
leled in any other country, and this
was due solely to the policy of free
trade, which enabled the working
classes to be the best fed and best
clothed wage earners in the world. 1t
was true that so far as home products
were concerned the cost had increased,
but that which had enabled the wage
earners to meet this increased cost
was the fall in the price of food, and
that was due to the system of free i'm
ports. The issue which Mr.. Chamber
lain had raised was the most important
raised in his, Lord Georges, lifetime
That the ghost of protection would be
laid at once and for all was his fervent
prayer and constant hope.

VIENNA, March 25.-Admiral Won
Spaun, who recently returned from

out once more that the task of the

This task was discharged as con-

were examined publicly, and in their
mother tongue. No witness was heard
after the public proceedings were
closed. All statements to the contrary
are false. The commission endeavored
to employ the mildest form in con-

nevertheless, shows that the commits

COURT IN A DEADLOCK.
Present Judges Dissent From Opinion
 of Their Predec essors.

Guthrie O. T., Sept. 13-The close of the current term of the Oklahoma supreme court discovered a deadlock in the court on the case of the Enid Right of Way company vs. Lille, which has become rather a famous one in the territory. It is a suit brought on a bonus note given by Lille in considera- ton of the location of a Denver. Enid & Gulf depot at Douglas. At the last term of the supreme court an opinion was delivered by Justice Irwin. Jus tices Gillette and BeauchamD concur ring, holding the note invalid on the ground that it was opposed to public policy. The consideration was de- claTed insufficient. on the ground that it was not the railroad which decided the location of a depot, but the de- mands of the public.
 At this term a dissenting opinion was handed down by Justice Burwell, Chief Justice Burford and Justice PancOast concurring. It takes exactly opposite ground in regard to the mat ter. As there is no majority On either side of the question, the decision of the point is still suspended. As the mon etary consideration in this case is very small. it will not be carried to high CT court, but it is stated that a Santa Fe case, involving exactly the same point, has recently been appealed from the territory. and the decision on that may affect the final disposition of this case.

Gardiner, a half mile east of the asylum for the insane, was burning and would probably be total ly destroyed. It was a building of six rooms, a story and a half high.
 The conclusion that the building was set on fire is arrived at through the fact that only the night before and about the same hour or a little earlier. a large barn and it's contents on the same ranch, was destroyed by fire of some mysterious origin.
