COMPARISON OF BRAINS
Prot. Wilder Says That of the Averags
Negro Is Lighter Than That OF
the Average White Man.

New York, June IA national con
ference in the interest of the Ameri
can negro was opened in the United
Charities building in this city by Pro
fessor Burt G. Wilder of Cornell uni
versity and Professors Livingston
Farrand, e R. A. Seligman and John
Dewey of Columbia university. Pro
fcssor Wilder exhibiting several
brains, including those of an orang
outang, an INSCRIPTIONS politician, an
illiterate colored janitor and an er1in.
ent mathematician, made some inter
esting ded-ctions to the conference.
The brain of the average American
negro he said, Seems to be about
two ounces lighter than that of the av.
erase white man, and probably there
occurs more frequently than in the
white man less development of the
prefrontal lobes. These two condi
tions render II likely that the whites
will remain the dominant race. But
there are individual exceptions to the
above general conditions of both kinds
and among both races"

NEW KIND OF ECLIPSE
Prof. 6rashear Announces a Celestial
Novelty For June II.

Pittsburg, June 1.-Professor John
A. Brashear of Allegheny in a signed
statement says that the eclipse of the
sun on June II will be unlike any other
eclipse within the knowledge of man.
In part Professor Brashear says:
"The eclipse will be of a very in.
teresting character from the fact that
for few seconds it will le an an
nular eclipse, then change to a total
eclipse. then back to annular eclipse
for the second time.
THE writer cannot find record Of
such an occurrence in any history of
astronomy, although we have records
of annnular eclipses for 400 years and
Of total eclipses for thousands of
years. The eclipse as a partial phase
OF greater or lesser magnitude will
sweep over the North American con-
tinent from the north. decreasing in
size as II passes down through Can
ada and the states.
The central line of totality COM
mences southeast of Tomsk, in Siberi-
an Russia, courses only a few miles
south of the north pole of the earth,
skirts the east coast of Greenland.

KNEW CARNEGIE IN YOUTH
Dying Telegraph Operator a Pension
er OF the Laird.

Dying at the City hospital at st.
Louis is George Lenox. seventy.flve
years old said to be the oldest tele-
graph operator in point of service in
the United States, who in his early
days, at the oil docks in Pittsburg,
worked alongside Andrew Carnegie.
Lenox was born in Hamilton, Ont,
and came to ST. Louis when 10 years
old. He became a messenger boy and
later, after learning how to send"
went to Pittsburg. Carnegie, accord
ing to Lenox, was receiving then, as a
clerk, less than $40 week. Because
they both knew telegraphy they be-
came fast friends.
When the civil war began Carnegie
and LenoX became war telegraphers.
They served through the entire cam
paign. and Lenox is one of the 40 odd
telegraphers pensioned by Carnegie
Among the important news heralded
via the wires by Lenox was the assas.
sination of Lincoln. Lenoxs mother

DISASTER TO AIRSHIP.
After Count Zeppelin Had Covered $50
Miles In 81 Hours.

Goephingen, June l.-After covering
a distance of about $50 miles in 81
hours, Count Zeppelln's new airship,
on its return trip from Bitterfeld to
Friedrichshafen, came to grief In an
open field near here. In maneuvering
for a landing the airship came into
contact with tree and It's position ia
very dangerous.
The damage 10 the ship is more Sc.
rious than at first thought. A cursory
examination directly after the acci.
dent showed that the envelope had
been torn, and it was thought that in.
jury could be repaired and that the
party would proceed at night A more
careful examination, however, disclos
ed the fact that the propeller was
broken and considerable time must
elapse before The journey could be
continued.
The position is unfavorable the
ground being hilly. The bow rests on
the ground, while the stern is about
90 feet in the air. A strong breeze
sprang up toward evening, causing
no little anxiety for the safety Of the
airship, which II was feared would
be wrecked should a storm come up
during the night
After considerable labor and with
the assistance of scme of those who
had gathered at the scene OF the acci-
dent, Count Zeppelin was able to shift
the position of his airship a little,
and thus give better protection from
the wind. That the collision was a
heavy one is indicated by the broken
and bent strips of aluminium lying
about the ground and the half split
branches dangling from the tree
trunk. Enormous crowds soon as.
sembled and 1t became almost impos.
sible for vehicles to pass along the
public highway.

west of Zephyr and swept down on the
village, cutting wide swath direct
ly through the residence and business
quarters.
Nearly 30 houses were demolished.
Lightning struck a lumber yard and
started fire which destroyed an en-.
tire business block. No effort was
made to fight the flames as the care
of the dead and wounded demanded all
attention. A section hand pumped d
handcar to Brownwood and spread
the alarm. In two hours the Santa Fe
railroad was speeding a special train
TO Zephyr with nine surgeons and a
score of Brownwood citizens.
Hundreds of persons in the country
around Zephyr saved themselves by
taking refuge in storm cellars.
The big stone school building and
two churches at Zephyr were razed.
Daylight found 16 surgeons working
on the wounded. Brownwooi hurried

Two children were found dead two
miles from Zephyr, having been
blown that distance.
While the to"nado's path was 300
yards wide, the twister swept the
earth for a distance of only about a
mile. Its fury was more terrific than
any previous tornado experienced in
this region. When the first relief
party reached Zephyr a desolate scene
awaited. The hillsides were covered
with debris Of all kinds intermingled
with bodies of animals and human be-
ings. The ruins were dimly lighted
by burning buildings and the cries OF
the wounded, rising above the shrek
ing of the diving storm, directed the
rescuers in their work.
Human bodies were found twisted
about trees and distorted in incon-
ceivable shapes. Survivors, mad with
grief and terror, walked the streets
almost naked crying for lost relatives.
