service of the country in the year 1715.

THE MuRDERER's FACE.
The Square Faced Individual Is Con-
coded Most Prone to Crime.

Marie and MacAuliffe, two French in
vestigators. who have been carrying on
an extensive series of researches on as
sassins. recently reported to the Paris
Academy of Sciences the result of their
study of the faces of $50 murderers, 35
of whom We're women. They first divid-
ed human faces into four general types.
square, oval pyramidal with large jaws
and a low, narrow forehead and hum
ming top shaped with large cranial
development and weak Chin. These were
respectfully attributed TO the muscular.
respiratory. digestive and cerebral
classes of individuals. This classification
gave results Indicating that 50 of every
100 murderers have square faces, III of
those humming top type, three of the
pyramidal and but one of the oval FORM
That is. IS per cent. of French assassins
have square faces, or faces approaching
that type. The authors are careful to
state that the types were not sharply
marked off In many OF the faces studied
For example, there were, as a matter
of fact, but 121 of what may be called
pure squares among their subjects
The commonest composite face was the
square-pyramidal, or ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
In view of this enormous predominance
of the square-faced murderer, 1t was OBJ
viousiy of Importance TO determine the
proportion of such faces in the general
population. This the authors did, with
the following result in faces per loo
French people: Square. IS; oval. rs, py-
randall, IS; humming top, L. There
seems no doubt, therefore, that IN
France. at any rate, the sauare-faced m
dividual is much more likely TO become
a murderer than the man or woman Oh

Lombroso, the characteristically criminal

thing akin apparently TO the pyfamioai

Mark Twain's First Typewriter.

It was in 1874 during a famous trip
to Boston with DIR. Twitchell, that
Mark Twain saw for the first time
what was then a brand new invention,
a typewriter; or it may have been
during a subsequent visit, week or
two later. At all events. he had the
machine and was practising on it Dec
ember 3, 1874, for he wrote two letters
on it that day, one to Howells and the
other to Orion Clemens. In the latter
he says:
Il am trying to get the hang of this
new tangled writing machine, but am
not making a shining success of it..
However, this is the first attempt l
ever have made, and yet ] perceive
that / shall soon easily acquire fine
facility in it's use. ! saw the thing in
Boston the other day, and was great
ly taken with IT"
He goes on to explain the new won
der, and on the whole his first at
tempt is very creditable perform
ance. With his usual enthusiasm over
an innovation. he believes it is going
to be q great help to him. and pro-
claims its advantages.
This is the letter to Howells;
You needn't answer this; | am only
practising to get three; another slip
up there; only practising to get the
hang of the thing. l notice | miss
fire and get in a good many unneces-
sary letters and punctuation marks.
l am simply using you for target
to bang at. Blame my catsi but this
thing requires genius in order to work
1t just right"
In an article long after, he tells
how he was with Nasty when he first
saw the machine in Boston through a
window. and how they went in to see
1t perform. In the same article he
states that he was the first person in
the world TO apply the Typemachine to
literature and that the story of Tom
Sawyer was probably the first type
copied manuscript
The new enthusiasm ran its course
and died. The typewriter was not
perfect in those days, as it is now, and
the keys did not always respond
readily. He declared it was running
his morals-that it made him want TO
swear" He offered it to Howells be-
cause. he said. Howells had no morals.
anyway fIowells hesitated, so Glenn
ems traded the machine to Bliss for a
side-saddle. But perhaps Bliss also
became afraid of the influence, for in
due time he brought 1t back. Howells.
again tempted, hesitated, and tins time
was lost. What eventually became of
the machine is not history. Albert

Abe Attel and
Murphy Fight Draw

San Francisco. Aug. 4.-Abe Attel
and Harlem Tommy Murphy fought
20 rounds to a draw at Coffroth
arena, Saturday. Attel was severely
punished and was bleeding profusely
during the last rounds. His cleverness
saved him. Referee .Griffin's verdict
was favorably accepted by the crowd.
Although Murphy was only slightly
marked Attel landed three blows to
the formers one and out-pointed the
New Yorker in cleverness and agility.
The men fought at lightweight, but
Attel was several pounds under the
limit.
The first three rounds were tame,
with the featherweight hattler getting
a bit the better of il in the swift inter-
change of long range blows to the face,
most OF which were spent before they
landed. In the Fourth Murphy poised
his right and when Attel was uncov-
cred, shet ii home to the face. Abe
caught the blow at mid-range aud
blood streamed from his mouth. Two
smart clips TO the face gashed his
cheek and Murphy followed mis- adj
vantage in forcing a session of fast
milling.
In the succeeding ROUNDS Attel USED
his left to better advantage, planting
several tattoos of short abs on Muir
phys mid section. The blows lacked
their old-time Furnishing power, and
did not begin TO tell until the 18th
round. when Murphy began to show
distress from the hammering on the
body. Several savage PUSHES by the
New Yorker were stayed by vicious
ais to the ribs. The body blows saved
Attel in the closing rounds of the
fight. Ills mastery over his opponent
in the fine points of the game became
more apparent as the fight Wore on
but in the desperate mitigating he suf-
fered.
Murphy fought stolidly. varying his
smashing tactics occasionally by fore
ing Abe to the ropes in periods of des-
perate in-fghting. Attel was clinched
TO the ropes at the close.

A Love Letter Of Mark Twain's.

Reviewing the manuscripts which
Mark Twains wife induced him to
discard, and certain edited manu-
scrips, one gets partial idea of what
the reading world owes to Olivia Gle

1t should be said here that there is
not the least evidence (and the man
uscripts are full of evidence) that
Mrs Clemens was ever representative
or narrow or unliterary in her re-
straints. She became his public. as

open minded clear-headed public than
that. No one realized her worth more

edgement of ii. not only afterward,
