Ears of Criminals,

Before the annual congress Of Ger.
man anthropolOgists, which is now
meeting at Gerlitz, Prof. Blau, a we'll
known authority on diseases Of the
ear, read an interesting paper on the
formation Of the ears Of criminals and
lunatics, says the London Telegraph.
Prof. Blau has taken accurate meas
urements Of 1861 ears. OF these 255
are the ears Of lunatics and 343 those
Of male criminals. The examination,
moreover, was confined to men Of one
race and one country.
The professor comes to the conclu-
sion that in the vast majority Of cases
the various parts Of the auricle, or ex.
ternal ear, are larger in the case of
criminals and lunatics than in the case
CT normal persons. That is especially
noticeable in the helix, or incurred out
er border Of the ear and also in the
lobe. According to Prof. Blau, the
larger the helix Is, the lower the state
Of mental development. The hearing
faculty, on the other hand, Is keener
and Prof. Blau illustrates his theory
by reference to the auricles Of apes
who are all In possession Of this ex.
tended outer border. Prof. Blau add.
ed the curious remark that an abnor
NAL development Of the outer border
was more noticeable among criminals
charged with sexual crimes than any
other classes Of criminals.

WHILE THE FOREST GROWS.

Shrubs, Herbs and Flowers Disap-
pear for Lack of Sunlight.
La its youth the spruce forest offers
an inviting home to Towering plants
both shrubs and herbs. The soil is
moist and rich, consisting In large part
OF decayiag leaves and twigS The
shade, though nearly uniform, is not
dense and fiecks Of sunshine appear
everywhere In it. The light is not
strong enough to produce a tangled un-
dergrowth, but a well-developed growth
Is found everywhere except in the most
shaded spotA
The layer of shrubs and bushes con
sists largely Of the mountain maple,
rose and ninebark, among which are
scattered birehes, gooseberries, raspber-
ries and vtburnums. In spring the
ground Is carpeted with Strawberries.
Along the brooks white and yellow tvio-
lets are common and orchids are scat
tered here and there. In the summer
flowers are abundant, gentians, blue
bells, goIdonrods, daisies, columbines
and painted cups vying with each other
in giving color to the mass Of green. In
the shadier places low ferns abound,
while the moist soil Of the shadiest
hooks is clothed with MOSES and lichen
AS the forest grows older the shrubt
are the inst plants to disappear, be-
cause Of the increasing shade. They
are followed after a few years first by
the taller herbs and then by the others,
until only those flowers that require
little light are left. Even these persist
only in more open spots and finally dis
appear and the shade becomes uniform
~ dense.
A mature forest, 200 years old or
moro, rarely allows even a stray sun
beam to pass and beneath it Is twilight
1T MONDAY. A few evergreen pirolas
blossom in scattered groups Clusters
Of the coral root are found frequently
In bloom, but this is leafess orchid
that requires little or no light The
ground Is covered with a dense layer
Of brown spruce needles, which furnish
q home for tOadstOols and cup fungi,
and in the moister places for nchens
and mosses
The forest has now reached it's final
stage. 1t may still persist in this form
for several hundred years. Indeed, If
1t Is not removed by an accident, 1t is
difficult to set limit to Its age. In
any event, a forest can rarely live 1000
years, owing to the great weight Of the
tree tops and the fact that decay Is
constantly weakening the trunks.-St
Nicholas.

Mouse Kills q Cat.

It Is not often that a mouse kills a
cat. Such death, however, was meted
out last month to a fine black cat in
Cape May hotel.
The cat caught the mouse and began,
as cats will, to play with 1t, to tease
It. For some ten minutes this went
TN.
And then, all Of a sudden, the cat
found herself struggling for her life.
In mounting the mouse, without desir-
ing to hurt 1t, she had inadvertently
half swallowed 1t. There it was, stuck
In her throat, choking her to death.
For three or four minutes the cat
choked and gasped. Then 1t fell
over, dead. And the mouse, oddly
enough, was disgorged at the moment
the cat died. The mouse was alive It
lay on the floor a moment, resting.
Then it stole away, after one triumph
ant look at the dead body of the cat
which It had killed.

Though the waste and suffering OF
the wars Of the last half century have
been terrible, they were not without
compensation. As direct consequence
OF some and an indirect consequence Of
others, what We regard as the bened-
cent principle Of democracy has been
Immensely promoted In Italy, In
France, In Cuba, and progress, we may
be sure, has been made possible in
Russia. It is not for merely selfish
reasons that the governments Of the
modern world are very cautious as to
the beginning Of disarmament.

There are many thousands of people
all over the world who can attribute
their good health to taking one or two
Brandreth's Pills every night. Those
pills cleanse the stomach and bowels.

fine laxative tonic pill your grandpar-

they are adapted to children and old

Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century and are for sale

Even lamb chops are no longer

almost any old thing. Professor
Wiley, chief OF the bureau OF
chemistry of the department Of

rants were mixed, said: Il stopped
in a local butchers the other
morning and ordered some lamb
chops sent to my home. When |
rot home looked at the chops,
not because | suspected anything,
but because of their excellent ap-
pearance. La examining one Of
them | found that the meat about
the bone practically pulled off.
On further examination | found
he meat coarse grained and not
lamb at all. The chop was a
counterfeit. The bone Of the lamb
was there. but in some manner
the meat-what kind do not
been neatly pressed
about it. In cooking, the meat
would have adhered to the bone,
and only a careful examination
would have shown the deception.'
