GERMAN SCHOOLS CROWDED
Increase in Student Body Causes
Grave Concern.
Specializing Is in DisprO-
Services After Graduation.

Berlin, Aug 1.-THE rapid increase in
the number Of students at some Of the
universities Of Germany is becoming a
subject Of concern. In many cases the
student body has already reached un-
wieldy proportions. The number Of stu
dents attending the various universities
this summer is Sass. as against 51.5l0
last year. This is Just about three times
the number enrolled ten years ago.
A phase Of the matter which receives
special attention is the growing dispro-
portion between the number OF students
who are preparing 10 become specialists
and the apparent need 20 their services
after graduation II Is estimated that
out Of every 100000 inhabitants OF Ger
many eighty-three have taken or are TAX

there were only forty-seven students 20
every 10000.
The courses most commonly taken are
those OF philosophy, philology history,
Law. natural sciences, medicine. and po-
litical economy. There is. Of course, d
limit 10 the number OF specialists IN these
branches whose services can be prohtably
employed IN the world. and educators are
beginning TO ask what the outcome is go

be drawn from them.
Scientists agree that the frontal devel-

of the soul life Of the individual. ard
from this the French PSYCHOLOGISTS de-
duce that the primitive men, despite
their possession OF considerable volume %
gray and white brain matter were ar
below the lowest races now living IN

cation Of Flechsig's theory Of the sub
division OF the brain sections indicated
that animal instinct was greatly devel-

as the association Of ideas; and II
Brocas is right in his contention that

In one thing, however. the diluvial

A slight preponderance Of the left half
over the right half Of the brain indicates,

"serviettes' have all served as recepta-

Of the most curious exhibits in the Musee
de la Fraude Is a funeral wreath whose
history is peculiar. one day a Young
widow bowed down with grief passed the
octroi carrying the wreath in her hand.
She was dressed in deep crepe. and as
she went by the employees in the octrol

Next day she passed again, her eyes
downcast, grief written on her face. and

weeks II seemed to the "gabelous" as if
there had been an unaccountable epidemic
among the husbands of the locality.
One evening, however, when the process
sion OF widows and wreaths was unusu-
ally long, the octroi inspector tolled of
one Of HIS staff to shadow the women
He came back with the report that every
one Of the wreaths was hollow and all
the sad-eyed widows were smugglers

If there are many who defraud the Gus

Scarcity of Fur-bearing Animals Is
Given as Cause.
Decrease Due 10 Invasion of Nature
HRunts by Workers in North
ern Lumber Trade.

St Petersburg, Aug. 27.-Sables are go
ing up in price. The British consul In
St Petersburg. Mr.. Grove reports that
all fur-bearing animals especially sables.
are becoming fewer each year Hunters
give II as their opinion. he explains. that
this decrease is due to the fact that the
growth Of the timber trade has brought
more workmen 10 the north. and the
sable has moved into more remote dis
tricts.
According 10 the report prepared by the
Siberian members for submission 20 the
Russian imperial Duoma. the quantity
of furs obtained is steadily decreasing
every year. not because the hunt for
them is less keen than formerly. but
because the number Of animals Is de-
creasing. mainly owing TO the methods
used in their capture. Thus in some dis
tricts the sable has been exterminated
and in others of late years 1t has rapidly
decreased.
A good instance OF the difference Of
methods employed and their results Is
afforded by the government Of Tobolsk
From $1,000 to 5000 fox cubs are caught
here every year, and only 5000 or 1900
fall grown animals. In the case Of the
governments OF Yakutsk and Yenisei,
where cubs are not caught. each Of these
governments produces from 1900 20 q 900
full grown animals yearly. II appears
that sables arc caught in large numbers
in the early autumn and spring when
the animals are melting and the females
are with young-a system or want Of

I had almost written meritOriOus I re-
member seeing a young man detained at
the Belgian frontier for attempting to
smuggle through a quantity Of tobacco.
He had bestowed the cigars very in
geniously about his person but had fool
ishly left in mis- bag the empty box That
at once gave the customs officers a clew
and his reasoning proved correct The
women are just as bad as the men, and
as they show more ingenuity in disposlng
of contraband they are not so easily
caught.
The other day in the ''rapide" coming
from Ostend young married couple. as
soon as the ''rummagers" left the train
and the frontier was crossed, began 20

everywhere. IN her hat, in her stockings.
in her corsage, and probably lot more

Since the Brussels exhibition opened
the 'gabelous" on the Franco Belgian
