Phrencloey Not Scientific.

DR.. Ales Hrdlicka. the celebrated an
tLropologist of the National museum at
Washington. in an interview says that
all Of the widespread notions about the
configuration of the human skull re.
vealing character are deluSion and a
snare. He admits that the early pio-
neers in this cult did little useful
work by stimulating research in the To-.
caliZation of brain functions. resulting
in the discovery that certain parts of
the brain controlled definite groups Of
muscles. But all the rest he insists has
no basis in fact. No amount of study
by scientists has been able to isolate
our mental functions in the brain ex-
cept that hearing and seeing occupy
not clearly circumscribed areas of the
brain and that there is a definite lobe
concerned with speech. The so called
bumps on the head have nothing
whatever to do with mentality or with
any function of the BRAIN" Nor does
a high head indicate great mental ca
pacity. 1t may be due to racial type or
to handling after birth. Even the re-
treating forehead and receding chin. so
called, are wholly discredited by Pro
fessor Hrdlicka as signs of mental in
capacity. In many cases this kind of
forehead Is the result of undue devel-
Opment of the bony ridges over the
eyebrows. while prominent teeth have
much to do with the appearance of the
chin. The notifications of the nose are
merely hereditary notifications runs
ming in families and races" In conclu-
sion it is asserted that "the only in
dexes to be found in the head and face
of man are the size of the brain, the
behavior of the eyes and the action of
the muscles which contribute to facial
expression"
Fail to Sink the Florida.
Continuing the naval science expert
ments with the old monitor Florida as
the object of attack In the presence Of
three cabinet officers and many naval
officers, Whitehead torpedo was fred
into the vessel near Norfolk, Va. The
torpedo, containing 200 pounds Of gun
cotton. hit the Florida amidships and
caused her to reel, while water spout

viding one meal each day to every
school child who might otherwise be
underfed would not accomplish per-
manent change in the situation, which
is what we should look for" At the
same time he admits that ian unprece-
dentedly large number of people in
New York are out of employment at
the present time" and that the need of
food and relief has taxed the resources
Of the society almost to the breaking
point. He favors giving relief In the
homes of the needy rather than to the
children in the schools.
A Declining Birth Rate.
The first collection Of vital statistics
In Pennsylvania discloses a declining
birth rate, and Health Commissioner
Dixon says that it is not due alone to
race suicide. The marriage statistics
show that the age at which women
now marry is twenty-four and a half
years on the average and that one
third Of the firstborn children are
from mothers over twenty-five years

How to Deal With Anarchy.
That the policy Of severe punishment
Of avowed anarchists and the making
Of martyrs Of them will only feed the
mental alteration which results in
anarchy is the position taken by Wal
ter p. Mcclure in thoughtful article
for the June Van Norden's Magazine.
He asks If 1t Is not possible for the
government to assume a sympathetic
attitude toward this unfortunate class
and insists that the progress made by
the anarchists is due largely to the
neglect Of the problems Of the poor by
those who have intelligence and time
enough to study them" He proposes
that men be sent among the poor to
preach that "where law ends tyranny
begins" and that the theories Of the
anarchist are self contradictory. Be
sides, much Of the anarchist suscepti-
bility is attributed to the brutal meth

poor people Of the slums.

HENRY WEBER
GETS SEVEN YEARS

GoLDFIELD, June 27.-Seven
years in the penitentiary at Carson
was the sentence given Henry Weber
by Judge F. P. Langan, of the Dis
trict Court, at $3.50 o'clock Friday
Motions in arrest of judgment and
for a new trial were both overruled
by the court. At 10 o'clock Satur-
day arguments will be made on
the question of admitting Mr.. Weber
to bail pending an appeal to the Su-
preme Court of this State. The de-
PENDANTS physical condition is not of
the best, and it is presumed that the
court will release him upon the pro-
duction of sufficient bonds.
Henry Weber is one of the best
known mining operators in Nevada.
He is heavily interested at Wonder,
and controls the Vulture, which was
the first property in that camp to ship
ore. he is distinctly a Goldfielj
booster, and his public spirit has
never been found lacking. On Thurs
day evening jury found him guilty
of embezzlement, the prosecution
growing out Of the alleged conversion
of $4,000 given him by Captain
Thomas Hooper, who thought, he was
buying Doctor Treasury stock, and
later says he ascertained that The
money had gone to Mr.. Weber's per
sonal credit and never devoted to d.
velopment work on the Doctor proc
erty at Wonder.
The courtroom was crowded at thu
hour named, as the case has attract
ed considerable interest Throughout
the district.

Wins FORTUNE
ON GRUBSTAKE

SEATTLE, Wash, June 27.-The
Supreme Court at Olympia today at.
firmed the judgment of the King
County Court in the suit of James H.
Causten, former Deputy Collector of
Customs at st. Michael. asking for a
partnership accounting from 3. T.
Barnette on a contract entered into
in 1901. Causten claims this cod
tract, which was in the nature of y
grubstake, laid the foundation foT
BaRnette's fortune, and that his share
is one-third of Barnette's holdings.
The Supreme Court does not decide
the value of Causten's claim
Barnette, in 1901, shipped $20,000
worth of supplies, bought in San
Francisco, up the Yukon The boat
sprung a leak, and he was forced to
return to st. Michael. There Causte1
assisted in furnishing funds to re.
sumo the journey, and contract was
signed which was the basis of the
suit. The goods were taken up the
river by Barnette and Charles Smith,
who was associated with the other
two, and a trading post was esta !.
lished at what is now the town Of
Fairbanks. Barnette is now rated AZ
more than $1,OOO,OOO, principally ac'
quired as the result of the 1901 ven
! ture. VI
Suit was brought in King County
on the contract, service being made
on Barnette in 1906. The Supreme
Court scores Barnette's attempts q
evade service, his evasive answers OF
the witness stand and other tactic:
of similar nature.

IMMIGRATION WORK
SAVES employees

\ WASHINGTON, June 27..Partly
in order to save many employees from
dismissal because of the heavy de-
crease OF immigration, the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor has
set some of them to work during the
Spring and summer investigating the
number of aliens subject to deporta-
ton that have become public charges
in penal and charitable institution 4.
1t Is said that the results of such in
vestigations have been surprising.
Hundreds of such dependent aliens
have been deported. Inasmuch as
immigration on the Pacific Coast =
OF a different character than that in
other parts of the country, conditions
are different, and the same proper

institutions.
