WOMAN LOSING FORM
London Artist Agrees with
American Critics.
ATHLETICS NOT THE CAUSE
Marcus stone Says He Can See
Marked Deterioration in Figures
and Finds Ii Difficult to Obtain
Suitable Models for His Work.
Neeks Are Rot Normal.

London. Dee. 1.-THE question of the
influence of athletics upon physique
which was raised by Dra Sargent, of
Harvard. and Mr.. Alexander. the Ameri-
can artist, continues 10 interest people
here. Marcus Stone. the artist, thinks,
too. that the figure of the average English
woman has deteriorated in recent years.
but he considers that this is not due.
as in the United States. to violent ex-
ercise.
Few English women indulge in attn
letics sufficiently 10 change their develop
ment" he says. Those who do are in
such a minority as to be negligible.
Undoubtedly the figures of English
women have grown worse, and il is eX-
tfemely difficult for an artist now TO find
an ideal model In my profession We are
students Of anatomy almost as much as
doctors are, and we know how figures are
corrupted. l hold that the corset is the
reason for the feminine figure being worse
than it was.
You scarcely ever see a normal length
of neck nowadays IN a woman because
the shoulders are of necessity held so
high. The impression of sQuareness ia
the shoulders given By the modern sirl is
due 10 the unnatural holding in az the
waist by the corset. Young women are
growing nat chested. and that also
ascribe 10 the corset
Il paint pictures in which the figures
are OF women OF the last century at its
beginning when the women wore the
hfgh-Waisted gown and no corset. l have
many girls and young women TO sit TO
me, and / find that they cannot pose IN
these gowns properly. They have always
been cramped with a corset and have lost
the natural way 10 bend"

SEES suns IN MILKY NAY
Scientist Offers Theory for Birth of
New Worlds.
Says bodies. Travelling in Opposite
Directions, Collide and Form
"TempOrary stars"

London, Dec. 17.-''There are about a
hundred million suns in the Milky Way
which can be photographed and at least
five or six times as many dead suns
So says DIR. Bickerton. who is profess
sor of chemistry and physics in New
Zealand, and has come TO London TO ex-
plain a new theory concerning the birth
of new worlds. He developed his theory
before the Royal Colonial Institute the
other evening in a lecture entitled NFhe
romance of the heavens.
To put it briefly, his idea concerning
this vast number of suns in the Milky
Way is one Of collision. They travel, he
said, in two great streams in opposite
directions AS they pass each other al
tremendous speed they attract each other,
but are more likely TO Craze one another
than 10 meet directly. AS a result enOr-
nous sparks are struck off each star,
sometimes of the mass of our sun.
The two wounded suns pass on their
way, but the particles eoalesce and form

stars. Owing to its heat this body ex-
plodes and is finally disfipated into

geographic data collected there during
the last ten years TO a minute examina-

The chief point of Or. Munchs inves-

This means that Sirius is approaching
the earth at that rate a second. Every

earth by more than twice the distance

ANIMAL INSTINCT CAN ERR.
WaSps Aid Parasite and Eat Larvae
of Valua bic Ally.

Paris. Dec. 17-Animal instinct is not
always infallible. Prof Bonier told the
French Academy of Sciences the other
day. AS an example he described inves-
legations carried out recently by Prof.
Roubaud IN the life of wasps
They have. 1T seems, a parasite. or tiny
gHat which deposits its larvae in the
cells inhabited by the wasps- The larvae
destroy the wasps' own larvae The dead
larvae are then devoUred by the wasps
themselves and by that act they free
the parasites which would otherwise die
of.
To that error the wasps add another;
the parasite gnats in their turn have an
enemy in a microscopic insect which lays
its eggs in the gnats" larvae. The
wasps do not seem to be able 10 distin-
guish between friend and enemy: they
destroy these eggs which would have
produced valuable allies for them in the
struggle for life.
