HEIGHT AND GENIUS.
The Mentally Strong Arc Usually Short
Men With Big Codes.

DR.. l. Pepper Il we'll known German
physician, has been making some inte:-
estinS observations regarding the stat
urc of Individuals and the relation tina:
exists lctween height and talent ani
genius The doctor finds that not only
persons with considerable talent. but
the Scnillscs of the world. all have
been and arc of medium size or less
Among statesmen he points out Attiln
Cromwell. Frederick H.. Napoleon
Gambetta. Thers-all of whom were
Of very small stature, Jesus Chris,
too. the doctor says. according to the
Talmud. was built in small proportions.
SO was Paul. Among the g:eat artists
the short men were Raphael. Michel
angelo. Titan. Leonardo da Ninci and
Mcneil; among the musicians. Richard
Wagner. Handel. Bach. Haydn. Mo
Fart. Beethoven. Schumann. Schubert.
Brahms. Nearly all the poets We're of
small stature. particularly Dante. IIor
ace. Petrarch. Eoccaccio. TaSso, Victor
Hugo and Heine. So We're Cervantcs
ana Rousseau. Among the philosophers
and scientists the list is a large one.
and those whom the doctor particular
ly mentions as small mon physically
are Spinoza. Newton. I.eibnitz. Scho.
penhauer. Hegel. Humboldt. Ranke ana
MOmmsen.
The results of DR.. ropper's researches
into this subject are very interesting
He has discovered that while most
great small men are small in stature
because of the shortness of their legs
they are really tall in the length of
their bodies That is, when sitting
down they are taller than when stand
ing up. as they have big bodies above
the waist This very fact. the doctor
thinks. is perhaps the secret of talent
and genius-a good stomach. big heart
and lungs in big body-as they have
II direct effect on the intellect These
organs help to feed the brain properly
and make big men mentally. = New

Daiton's Experiment.

The English chemist Dalton was a
schoolteacher. He worked without
laboratory and with crude apparatus,
mostly made by himself from simple
materials. Here is an example deScrib-
ed III his own words:
'Took an ale glass Of Il conical fig
ure, two and half inches in diameter
and three inches deep; filed it with
water that had been standing IN the
room and consequently Of the tempera-
ture of the air nearly: put the bulb Of
the thermometer to the bottom Of the
glass. the scale being out of the water.
Then, having marked the temperature,
l put the redhot tip OF the poker half
an inch deep in the water. holding it
there steadily for Lalf minute. and
as soon rs it was withdrawn l dipped
the bulb Of sensible thermometer
into the water, when it rose in a few
seconds to $50 degrees"
He then determined the temperature
of the water Mt the bottom after five
minutes, after twenty minutes and aft
er an hour and found that it rose grad.
ually from II to 50 degrees. This
simple experiment proved that water
has the power to conduct heat, which
had been denied by no less an author
ity than Rumford.-YOuth's Compan.

Ripeninu Bananas.

1t Is familiar fact that bananas
are imported green. but It came as n
new thing to visitor to, the banana
district In Colombia to find that ba
nanas are not permitted to ripen on
the plant even down there. They are
cut and set to hang somewhere until
they wither ripe. as the phrase Is,
Bananas do not have to be yellow to
be ripe. That Is only the color of the
skin when 1t has dried up. 10 the
person who Is accustomed to eating
bananas only when they are yellow 1t
seems odd to peel them when they are
green aud ind that they are perfectly
ripe within aud 6t to eat.-New York
