Occupation and Physique.
IN the London Chronicle.

From the London chronicle.
The effect of occupation on physique
can easily be seen at Covent Garden.
Market porters often betray their trade
by a thickening and shortening of the
neck. caused by years of carrying weights
on the head. The figure Of the market
porter too, whether slim or squat. is de-
cidedly straighter and more graceful than
the average. But people who have noticed
the effects among eastern women OF car
rying weights. especially water on
the head seem to lose their sense of OBJ
servation when at home.
Another man whose trade readily be-
trays itself is the painter. Not the
academician. but the man who works on
a bigger scale and covers a wall in less
time than the academician win q square
foot. Get a house painter to hold both
hands high above his head, and you Will
find that the fingertips Of his right hand
are two or three inches farther from the
GROUND than those Of his left. The con-
slant exertion OF reaching and painting
stretches the muscles of the working
arm and hand.

of the reckless daring of the Spanish
officers. A comparison OF the figures OF
the killed with the losses of the French
in the Shawia and Of the United states
Army before Santiago indicates a reia-
lively considerable disproportion between
the number of officers and men killed
i'm the Spanish campaign as compared
with the similar figures for the French
and American engagements.
OF the three expeditions mentioned that
Of the Spanish to Melilla was by much
the largest in the number of men ac-
tually brought under fire. Thus Gen.
Marina at one time commanded GO,rw
men. while the French forces never en-
ceeded 10000, and the American troops
actually under fire at Santiago numbered
little il any over 1JtOo. The Spanish
casualty list of 1.SO3 is therefore sur
prisingly small smaller even than the
contemporary accounts o; the hShtlnS
seemed to indicate.
1t is only when these figures are close
IL examined that their unusual character
is revealed. Thus of the 2J2 killed. no
less than forty-four were officers, and
this list included two generals. eleven
superior officers and thirty-one subalterns

were officers In the battles of Caney ana
San Juan in Cuba Gen. Shafters army
lost o0S in killed. OF these twenty-five,
or one in ten, were officers. The French
and American figures, it will be seen
therefore. reveal almost the same ratio.
The explanation of the high percent
age of officers i'm the Spanish CASUALLY
list lies In the fact that the Spanish army
was composed in large part of volun-
teers. while both the French and Amerf-
can armies actually under fire were al
most entirely regular troops. Among the
Spanish officers in particular the per-
centage of volunteers. representatives o.
