that of Heloise and Abelard, the

by Lenoin with fragments of a chapel
of the convent of the Paraclete at
Nogent sur Marne. of which Heloise

MAN IS MOST SENSITIVE
Harvard ZooIogist Declares Woman
Has No More Real Emotion
Than Cat.

Boston.-That women are less sen.
sitive than men and that the daintiest
woman has no more emotional sense,
in the purely scientific view, than her
pet dog or Persian cat, is the conclu.
sion reached by Prof. George Howard
Parker, Harvard's great zoologist and
expert on the anatomy and physiology
of sense organs.
This new theory of Prof. Parker.
it is declared, is destined to create
a revolution in the accepted beliefs
of scientists and laymen alike, for at
the bottom of it lies the scientists
contention that there are really many
more than the traditional five
senses" No longer, declares Prof
Parker. should we hold that we DOS.
sess only five senses-feeling, hear.
ing, smelling, tasting and seeing. In
stead each of these senses may be
subdivided into four or five or per-
haps more subsidiary and independ-
ent senses
When he was asked whether man
has more senses than woman he said
As for the question whether woman
has more highly developed senses
than man l should say that she has
not In fact, l think, if the matter
could be definitely decided, it would
be found that man has more highly
developed and more accurately de-
veloped senses"

MAN IN THRILLING
FIGHT WITH OWL
FIERCE BATTLE IN A STABLE
CAUSES A PANIC AMONG
81 HORSES.
BIRD ATTACKS A MILL MAN
Beaten of BY the PIucky Watchman
in the Barn, the Owl Flies to the
Street and VicousIy Assaults a
Pedestrian.

Pittsburg.-Battling desperately for
almost an hour with a gigantic owl
that sank it's talons into his arms and
shoulders repeatedly, at the same
time trying to quell the excitement of
81 big horses thrown into a panic by
the wild pranks of the big bird, was
the experience of Michael Mcconnell,
night watchman at the Ardary-Burns
Company's stables, Sixteenth and Pike
streets
Mcconnell pluckily continued to
beat at the bird until it was compelled
to retreat out of the barn into the
early morning air. Flying across Six
teenth street, the big owl, without
provoCatiOn, attacked a mill man on
his way to work. With his dinner
bucket he fought the owl off Final
ly it disappeared in a vacant lot near
the Sixteenth street bridge.
1t was McConnells presence of
mind and rare pluck that prevented a
serious stampede among the 81 big
dray horses in the stables. About
three o'clock while he was making his
rounds in the rear of the building he
was attracted by the horses jumping,
rearing and kicking Mcconnell
turned on the lights and saw the big
owl on the back of a horse sinking
its long and sharp talons into the ami
NAL. The owl sprang at McConnells
head
Mcconnell. although an aged man,
is very agile and sidestepped the bird,
which landed against the side OF a
stall. Again and again the owl at
tackled him. The sight of the giant
bird fluttering before their heads ex-
cited the 81 horses and Mcconnell
found it necessary to forget his own
safety and pacify the horses to pre-
vent stampede.
Finally the owl flew to the top of a
stall, and placing it's head under it's
wing seemingly went to sleep Ia
king advantage of the opportunity Nc
Connell approached and was about to
land a deathdealing blow with a
broom when the bird made a dive at
him. 1t struck him in the chest with
all its force and nearly knocked him
off his feet. The fight continued un-
til the bird flew out into the street,
where it attacked the mill man.
Mcconnell said that judging from
its wealth of soft lax plumage and
size he is inclined to think the owl

other occupant, without asking per-

lit a cigarette. The reverend gen.
