CONDEMNATION SUIT
 FOR BUCKEYE RAILROAD
Action Begun Yesterday Against G. w.
 einkiey and Wife.

Condemnation proceedings were be- gun yesterday by the Phoenix X Buckeye railroad against c. w. Blink ley and his wife to secure a right Oi way through lot Is of block & of the Irvine addition. This lot lies in the middle of the block bounded on the north by Buchanan street. on the east by Ninth avenue and on the south by Lincoln street. The line of the railroads right of way so far secured lies a few feet north of Lincoln street It is stated in the complaint that d bona fide offer for the property had been made to the defendants. but that they had rejected it
 This is one of the tracts involved in the dispute when the company was trying to secure from the council franchise on Buchanan street. MT. Binkiey at that time estimated the damage he would suffer by reason of the road running along the street in front of his property at S150, which he believed was half the value of the property.
 Actual construction work has been begun on the road. and it is esti- mated that the grading will be com pleted within about sixty days.

THE HUMAN RACE.
viii Man Simply Shrink of the Face
of the Earth? Asks This
Statistcian.

4 French statisticisn who has been
studying the military and other rec
ords with a view Of determining the
height Of men at different periods has
reached some wonderful results.
He has not only solved some per
picking problems In regard to the past
Of the human race, but is also enabled
to calculate its future and to deter
mine the exact period when man will
disappear from the earth.
The recorded facts extend over near
ly three centuries.
1t is found that in 1910 the average
height OF man in Europe was 1.75 me
ters, or, say, FIVE feet nine inches. In
1870 it was FIVE feet six inches. In
1920 IT was FIVE feet FIVE inches and
fraction. At the present time It is
Eve feet three and thFee-quaFter 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, 10 the
past and to the future. By this calcu-
lation II is determined that the stature
Of the FIRST men attained the gurpris-
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 on
spring Of the giants. Coming down 70
later time. we md that at the begin
ming OF our era the average height OF
man was nine feet, and In the time OF
Chsriemagne It was eight feet eight
inches. But the most astonishing re-
suit of this scientific study comes from
the application Of the same inexorabls
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.
At that epoch there win be only hni-
putians on the earth. And the con-
ciusion Of the learned statistician b
irresistible that "ths end Of the world
VIII certainly arrive, for the inhabts-
ants will have become 50 small that
they Will finally isappear''-"hnish By
disappearing" as the French idiom s<'
presses it-'from the terrestrial globe"

LAST RIVER TRIP
Steamer Black Hawk of Car
nival City Line Goes Into
Winter Harbor Sunday.
is TO LEAVE HERE FRIDAY
Company Has Enjoyed Profitable
Season Despite Discouragements
of Low Water.

Two more trips will be made this
season by the Carnival City packet
Black Hawk from the local port to
Burlington and return. One of these
will be made today, the boat leaving
here at o'clock this afternoon
and returning Friday morning. The
steamer will leave here on its last
trip at o'clock Friday afternoon and
will make its last return of the season
to the local harbor Sunday morning
1t will be locked early next week at
the Davenport boat harbor. along with
the other boats of the fleet. The
steamer Keokuk will make two more
trips between Keokuk and Quincy and
then will be put into winter quarters.
The past season, though it has been
a hard one on the steamboat business
in general, has been fairly successful
with the Carnival City beats Not a
trip between this city and Burlington
has been missed, although some trou-
BILE was experienced in making them.
The Helen Blair was taken from the
service after it had hit niger
head opposite the mouth of Rock river
and sank, but other boats were put
into the trade at once.
wenOna Follows Suit.
Recently the steamer Wenona met
with an accident below Pontoosuc, Ill,
while plying the trade between Bur
lington and Keokuk, and it was nee
essary to discontinue the service be-
tween those points after it had been
successfully maintained throughout
the season. This record has been
made by the company in a season
when the water was at the lowest
stage in years and when other boat
owners found it necessary to tie up
early in the summer.
