been for the fact that the train was

THE HUMAN RACE.
Will Man Simply Shrink Off the Face
OF the Earth?


A French statistician who has been
studying the military and other rec
ords with view of determining the
height Of men at different periods has
reached some wonderful results.
He has not only solved some per-
picking problems I'm regard to the past
of the human race, but is also enabled
mine the exact period when man will
disappear from the earth.
The recorded facts extend over near
~ three centuries.
1t is found that in 1910 the average
height of man in Europe was 1.75 me-
tiers, or, say, FIVE feet nine inches. In
1870 1t was FIVE feet six inches. In
1920 1t was FIVE feet five inches and a
fraction. At the present time 1t Is
Ave feet three and three-quarter inches.
1t is easy to deduce from these figures
a rate of regular and gradual decline
in human stature and then apply this.
working backward and forward, to the
past and to the future. BY this calcu-
iation 1t Is determined that the stature
OF the first men attained the surpris-
ing average Of sixteen feet nine inches.
Truly, there were giants on the earth
in those days. The race had already
deteriorated In the days Of Og, and
Goliath was a quite degenerate Off
spring of the giants. Coming down to
later time. we find that as The begin
ming Of our era the average height Of
man was nine feet. and In the time of
Charlemagne It was eight feet eight
inches. But the most astonishing re-
suit OF this scientific study comes from
the application Of the sar,e memorable
law Of diminution to the future. The
calculation shows that by the year
1000 A. d. the stature Of the average
man will be reduced to fifteen inches.

Party Was Organized at Suggestion
Il of S. F. Parker-Weapon Had
J Been Used Few Times.

The jury which investigated the
death of Thomas Adams at Rapids City
yesterday afternoon returned verdict
of suicide by shooting The evidence
at the inquest showed that Mr.. Adams
had killed himself some time during
the night Sunday. The body was in
bad condition, and the face had turned
black.
That Mr.. Adams had premeditated
the double tragedy was indicated by
the fact that the weapon he used to
end his own life and that of his wife
was a new revolver, which evidently
had not been discharged more than
two or three times The gun contain
ed three exploded cartridges and three
that had not been exploded.

a search warrant was suggested. she
consented. Nothing of any importance
was round, however, and the search
ers went TO the clover field adjoining,
where in a few minutes the body of
Mr. Adams was found. There were
about % men in the party, including
Bert Cox, a son-in-law of Mr. Adams,
who informed the searcners that Mr..
Adams had said that if he ever sui

Dignity in Clothes

In calculating the cost of the tailor made
suit, always divide it by two seasons, and 3
the economical aspect of getting the best
possible is plain to anyone. Ready made
clothes are planned so far in advance of
tailor-rnade garments that they are nearly
out of style for an exaCting gentlernan's
use long before offered for sale. No
time has dignity in garments been more
necessary than now. The freaks Of fancy
with which some ready-n1ade shops are
filled place the wearer of such styles at a
disadvantage.
