THE HErGur of GENIUS.

Scientists conflict on the point of
the height OF genius. Lombroso con-
tended that few great men have been
tall, while Dr. Charles Kassel takes
the position in the latest number of
the Popular Science Monthly that
most great men have been tall.
Dr. Kassel has searched through the
Biographies OF 1903 eminent men. Six
teen of these were OF middle height.
forty-eight were taller while hut
twenty of these men were short.
Some of the six-footers on DR.. kas-
sells list are: Charles Darwin, the
elder Dumas, Tennyson, Bismarck,
CAPTAIN Cook, George Washington,
Thomas jefferson, Charles Sumner,
Samuel Adams, Bayard Taylor. Salmon
p. Chase southey, Thackeray. Shelley
and John Bunyan.
On the other hand, here are some OF
the short men: Michael Angelo, Beetho-
ven, Milton Macaulay, Robesplerre,
savonarola, Ibsen and Alexander Pope
There is also a difference Of opinion
as to the size of the head Of genius.
Napoleon, Beethoven and Douglass, for
instance, all short men. had large
heads Tall men. like Chief Justice
Marshall, Washington, Shelley. Byron
and Keats, possessed small skulls.

MEDICAL
SOCIETIES
TO MEET

The Hammond Medical society and

have meetings within the next two
weeks at which there will be elections
of officers. The Lake County Medical
society will meet next Thursday at
place which is yet to be designated
and the Hammond Medical society will
mete two weeks from tomorrow
DR.. f. NJ. Shanklin is the president
of the Lake County Medical society and
DR.. Fl. c. Groman is the secretary. 1t
is understood that there is consider
able political work being done in con-
nection with both annual elections.
Fight Last Year.
Last year the first election of the
Hammond Medical society was a spir-
tied affair in which the insurgents
made an effort to capture the Offices
They were defeated by the regulars
and DIR. w. F. Howat was elected pres
ident, while DIR. II. j. White was elect
ed secretary.
Since that time some of the leaders
in the fight of the 'insurgents'' have
not attended the meetings of the So
ciety. Whether this fight is to be re-
newed at the election which is to be
held in two weeks remains to be seen.
The Lake County Medical society will
give banquet at the. Elks' club rooms
next Thursday and will then adjourn to
some other place for the purpose of
holding the annual election
