dinner party I'm his Windsor deanery
when his butler Informed him that n

him, but would not give his name.
"Well, ! can't come now in the mid.

"Bcg pardon. my lord, but the gen.

was so urgent that the bishop apollo.

The bishop bowed low I'm token OF

"All right" said his majesty.

Next morning Pitt appeared mt Wind

The HUMAN RACE.
VIII Man Simply Shrink OF the Face
or the Garth?

OF the Earth?
A French statistician who has been
studying the military aud 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 10 the past
OF the human race. but Is also enabled
10 calculate its future and 10 deter
mine the exact period when man will
disappear from the earth.
The recorded facts extend over near.
ly three centuries.
IL II found that I'm 1910 the average
height OF man I'm Europe was l.T5 me-
ters, or. say. five feet nine inches. In
1870 IL was five feet six inches. In
1920 Il was five feet five inches and n
fraction. AZ the present time II is
five feet three and three-quarter inches.
II is easy TO deduce from these figures
rate of regular and gradual decline
in human stature and then apply this.
working backward and forward, 10 the
past and 10 the future. by this calcu.
lation IL 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
I'm those days. The race had already
deterioratcd I'm the days of Og. and
Goliath was n quite degenerate or.
spring Of the giants. Coming down 10
later time we find that nj the begin
ming Of our era the average height of
man was nine feet, and I'm the time Of
Charlemagne Il was eight feet eight
inches. But the most astonishing re-
suit of this scientific study comes from
the application Of the same inexorable
law OF diminution 10 the future. The
calculation shows that 10y the year
1000 A. n. the stature Of the average
man VIII be reduced 10 fifteen inches.
At that epoch there Will be only lllli-
putians on the earth. And the con
clusion OF the learned statistician Is
Irresistible that 1.-The end of the world
Will certainly arrive. for the inhabit-
ants Will have become so small that
they will finally disappear'-"fnish by
disappearing" as the French idiom ex-
presses it-"from the terrestrial globe
