SO one Of the greatest mechanical and
material achievements of man went
down.
There was great wealth on the
ship. Men were there whose millions
made them masters of the lives Of
many of their fellow men; whose
word in the world of finance could
cause industrial conditions that would
bring prosperity or distress to entire
communities; whose power was that
OF uncrowncd kings. But like the toy,

iota of the only thing that then had

for the statue included fountain,

work costing $4,000.
The memorial is located on the

MAKES HER TALKATIVE.
RAPIDITY OF BLOOD FLOW CAUSE
OF FEMININE LoQUAcITY.
Sir James crchton-Browne, English
Scientist, Gives Explanation of
Theory in Address Before
ChiId-Study Society.

For generations and even for ages
uncounted woman has been the great
er "talker" in the human race. All
sorts of harmless fun has been poked
at woman because of her love OF con-
versation and her ability to rattle off
more sentences in a given time than
the average man has the ability to do.
Now comes the great authority, Sir
James Crichton Browne, M. D., LII. D.,
F., r. s., president of the Child Study
Society in London, with an explanation
of this. In his address before that
body few weeks ago he made this
explanation, for the most part in
somewhat technical language, but nev-
ertheless intensely interesting.
Reduced to simple words, Sir erich
ton-Browne explains that the talka-
tiveness of woman is due entirely to
the difference in the flow of blood to
her head and the flow of blood in a
mans head. The feminine brain gets
the greatest supply of rich arterial
blood at the posterior region of the
biggest supply of blood to mans brain
is in the anterior region, or front.
Sir Crichton-Browne explains that
the work of the two regions of the
brain is different, that the back of the
brain Is mainly sensory and con-
cerned with seeing and hearing. The
front of the brain contains the cen
ters of the will, the association CEN
teras which include appetites and de-
sires based upon internal sensation.
The brain is supplied with blood
throughout, but In women the greater
quantity of blood flows through the
back of the brain, while with men the
greater quantity of blood circulates
through the front of the brain; thus
the various brain centers are various
ly stimulated according to the blood
supply.
This, explains Sir James, is why
women see things quicker. are quicker
readers and faster takers, why they
talk with greater ease and enjoyment.
Their delicate powers of sensuous per.
ception, rapidity of thought and emo
tional sensibility are increased in COM
parison to those of man. On the 9th
er hand, the richer blood supply in
the front region of the brain in man
gives him greater originality on the
higher lines of intellectual work, calm
er Judgment stronger will and strong
er power of volition.

The Situation.

One year, when the youngsters of a
certain Illinois village met for the pur-
pose of electing captain of their
baseball team for the coming season.
1t appeared that there were an exces-
sive number OF candidates for the post,
and that more than the usual wrang-
ling must ensue.
Youngster after youngster presented
his qualifications for the post; and the
matter was still undecided, according
to Lippincott's Magazine, when the
son OF the owner of the ball field stood
up. He was a small, snub-nosed lad,
with plentiful supply of freckles, but
he glanced about him with dignifled
air of controlling the situation.
I'm going to be captain this year"
he announced. convincingly, "or else
fathers old bull is going to be turned
into the field"

CASH AN OLD DRAFT.

The other day the post office de-

dated April 1, 1881. This draft was
drawn by Assistant Postmaster-Gen-
eral Charles X. Gardner on James
Millikin, postmaster of Tuscarora, Pa,
In favor OF David Kyle. 1t took many
a long days search through half a
million forgotten and musty files be-
fore the draft could be finally ceri-
fed. This research brought to light
the fact that David Kyle. 81 years
ago, was a mail carrier from Selin's
Grove. Pa, through 10 villages to Fan

Wall Paper That Files Hate.

Next time you are having your
walls repapered you will be wise to
choose colors that flies dislike. Some
rooms seem infested with flies, while
others are comparatively free from
them. The secret lies in the general
color of the room.
The favorite color of flies is green.
A doctor who recently made expert.
nents with flies prepared a box on
which he pasted squares of paper of
the same size but different colors.
On the square of green paper there
were no fewer than eighteen flies
This was closely followed by a rose
colored square with seventeen. After
that came clear yellow. dark gray and
white.
The least attractive colors to the
flies were lemon yellow. dark brown
and blue. On papers of this color only
one fly had settled. Plenty of attrac.
tive wall papers can be chosen from
these three colors, and you will be re.
joicing at your freedom from flies
while your next door neighbor has
her walls covered with them because
her wall paper is green.-Pearson S

MUTE CONVICT PUZZLES
SURGEONS CANNOT PROVE cHAs.
CARSON ISN'T SHAMMING.
Even the Ether Test Failed to Loosen
the Prisoners Tongue After
Silence of Nearly
Three Years.

Even the ether test left alienists alb
solutely undecided whether Charles
Carson, convict in Folsom peniten-
tiary in California. had been stricken
dumb or is shamming. He has not
spoken a word in three years.
Physicians say that although the
test would have proved that Carson
is not insane If he had talked, the
negative result does not prove he is
insane.
The common effect of ether is to
loosen the tongue while the subject is
coming under or out of it's effects. 1t
was expected that Carson would lose
voluntary control of his vocal organs
and reply to questions put to him by
the physicians. No sound escaped his
lips.
Yet when not under the influence
OF the drug, Carson conversed with
his examiners In his usual manner,
by shrugs and signs, and by pointing
to letters in printed matter. He re-
fused by shake of his head to write.
although 1t is known that his educa-
ton makes him capable of it.
What do you think will be done to
you If you are kept here?" he was
asked.
Carson gTipped his neck with both
hands to indicate the moose and raised
his right arm to indicate the gallows.
Carson was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment in 1904 for assault and
robbery. Two years later he was Civ
en- death sentence for his share in
murderous jail break. He is South
Carolinlan and the only member of his
family to escape drowning at the time
of the submergence of Charleston by
the tidal wave of the early sos. Re
peated reprieves have thus far saved
him from hanging. and prison officials
believing that his muteness was as
sumed and indicated insanity brought
about the present investigation.
When first overtaken by, or having
assumed. the phase of insanity known
as aphonia, or inability to use his
laryngeal and pharyngeal organs, Car
son also refused to eat. Food was
forced upon him. however, and he re-
mained quiet.
From that time on he gave no sign
10 anyone that he was able to utter
a sound. He made his wants known
and answered questions by signs and
shrugs. Physicians have found no
evidence of physical disability which
would cause muteness. and have re-
fused to try the test by electricity.
which they say would be torture.
