Height and Genius.
New York Herrld.

new 1Ofk
DR.. l. Pepper, a we'll known
German physician, has been MAX
ing some interesting observations
regarding the stature of individu-
ais and the relation that exists
between height and talent and
genius. The doctor finds that
not only persons with consider
able talent, but the geniuses of
the world, all have been and are
of medium size or less. Among
statesmen he points out Attlla,
Cromwell, Frederick H., Napole-
on, Gambetta, Theirs all Of
whom were of very small stature.
Jesus Christ, too, the doctor says,
according to the Talmud, was
built in small proportions; SO was
Paul. Among the great artists
the short men were Raphael,
Michelangelo, Titan, Leonardo
da Vinci and Mcneil; among the
musicians, Richard Wagner,
Handel, Bach, Haydn, Beeth-
over, Schumann, Schubert,
Brahms. Nearly all the poets
were of small stature, particul
larly Dante, Horace, Petrarch
Boccaccio, Tasso, Victor Hugo ant
Heine. So were Cervantes anC
Rousseau. Among the philosophers
and scientists the list is large
one, and those whom the doctor
particularly mentions as small
men physically are Spinoza, New
ton, Leibnitz, Schopenhauer
. Hegel, Humboldt, Ranke ant
Hommsen.
The results of DR.. Pepper
researches into this subject are
very interesting. He has discov
S cred that while most great smal
men are small in stature becaus
, of the shortness Of their legs the
| are really tall in length of thei
. bodies. That is, when sittin
Y down they are taller than whe
+ standing up, as they have bi
bodies above the waist. Thi

+, perhaps the secret Of talent an
d genius-a good stomach; hi!

k the intellect. These organs hel

PLANS A REVOL V | N G
HOUSE.

New York Jeweler Wants Sum
shine on all Sides of His
Home.
National Contractor and Builder.
William Reiman, a jeweler, of
New York. has had plans drawn
for a revolving house which he
will build at Bayside, L. l. It
will be the result Of many years
of thought over the matter Of
genuine home comfort, for he
has often declared that, with the
advantages of modern appliances
and electricity there seemed lit
tie reason for the sunny side of
a house being in the sun all sum-
mer and the shady side being in
the shade all winter.
Mr.. Reiman would have a home
the windows of which may fol-
low the sunshine in the winter
or avoid it in the summer. The
architect has studied the prob
lem, and has completed plans for
such home, which will be built
at a cost of $35, 900, exclusive Of
the real estate.
AS proposed, the house will be
constructed on a turn-table, which
will be operated b. electric pow
er. The owner, in his library
or bedroom, may press a buttor
and the house will swing to righ1
; or left, as he may desire.
l Sitting in his library window
2 and wearying of the view, h
! may turn the house around ant
get another vista without leav
ing his chair. Or if the breez
U shifts and the owner of tn
! house finds himself cut off iron
k it, he gives the alarm and move
n his house around and aroun'
n until he gets the breeze wher
i he wants it. Of course, sun
}; shine and shade will be at hi
u command, and if he desires t
e sleep late and the light is in hi
window, he presses the butte
Re near his bed and swings ava
l. from the east.
t The house was designed b
Mr.. Reiman himself, and tn
plans, as drawn, show that h
scheme is eminently practica
Mr.. Reiman will have neithe

How Would You Like to Live to
be $50?

Baltimore Sun.
Professor Metchnikoff, the ia
nous Russian who won the Nobel
prize, says the average man
ought to live to the age Of $50
years. For years he has been at
work on the problem of lengthen-
ing human life, and he believes
that if he can find way to run
certain impolite germs out Of the
system almost anybody can enjoy
a century or so Of life. The Pro
fessor is going to spend the Sl9, =
| 900 from the Nobel fund in try
ing to stretch out the span OF hui
man life.
The Professor considers DR..
Osler an amateur in the art Of
living. He regards 60 years as
the mere boyhood Of man, about
the age at which he should stop
frisking around and settle down
!. to home life and steady work
Il shall spend the $4,000 OF
Nobel fund money!" says the
Professor, in continuing my eff
forts to discover how the body
can be given it's chance, so te
speak, and how it can be prevent,
ed from being needlessly sacrific
t ed in early youth-comparatiVe
", that is, at 70 or 80 years O.
: age-when it ought to hold ou-
, until it is 49,"
DIR. Osler ought to be ASHAMED
= of himself calling go years old
g why, it's positively kiddish, ant
? we can account for it only on tn
: ground that when DR.. Osler sal
o it he was a mere boy himsel
and didn't know.
q But if men lived to be Is
= years old, how would the youngs
+. tiers ever get a chance? Thin
