You've heard that old sneer about
the man who had so much brains that
he wore the roots off his hair and
hence became bald early in life? Well,
don't repeat it as a sneer. For here
comes a San Francisco scientific sharp
to tell us that badness is due to too
much vigor-that is. to extraordinary
powers of digestion, leading to in
creased heart action. leading to too
much blood in the scalp, overheating
1t and causing the hair to drop out.
Thus badness, from this point Of
view, becomes something to exhibit
with pride rather than to conceal. OF
course, no wigmaker will indorse this
philosophy-bu then, who ever heard
Of a philosophy that was indorsed by
everybody?

The so-called craters, ring noun
Itains and empty lava beds of the
moon are not the only interesting phe-
nomena which our satellite presents
Ito the view, says Harper's Weekly.
There are on many parts Of the
moons surface long, narrow lines call
ed "rills," evidently much below the
general level of the ground, some of
them comparable in breadth and depth
to the great canons Of our western
country. Certain astronomers have
been disposed to regard these rills as
cracks and rents in the crust of the
moon, but others have adopted the
suggestion, made long ago, that they
ARE river channels. 1t may be re-
marked Of these ancient lunar river
channels, If such they really are, that
their wider ends always terminate in
pear shaped hollows like little era
tiers, and this end is nearly always
higher than the other, so that If the
icraters were once lakes their waters
must have flowed out into the rivers
instead Of the waters of the rivers
emptying into the lakes.

The Countess Lambsdorff has just
given her unique memoirs to the pub
lie in book form, and st. Petersburg
is full of talk about them. The au-
thor states that she attended 225
dances prior to her marriage and 557
after her wedding. Before she was
married she received IS offers of mar
riage at different balls, and afterward
272 men sent her love missives, while
100 more enthusiastic and tempera-
mental gentlemen threatened to shoot
themselves in their despair. The num-
ber of dances which Countess Lambs
dorff takes to her credit Is nothing
short of stupendous. She took part,
she says, in 1884 square dances, 4,500
waltzes and 500 polkas. She had l.
700 partners Of which, she declares,
1000 were stupid, 300 boresome, 120
offensive, 20 nice and only 8 witty.
The countess estimates that she has
danced over $4,000 miles; as she at
tended 1884 dances, this estimate Is
modest.

The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association finds that the num-
ber of medical students in the United
States for the year ending June 30,
1918. was the smallest since 1900. But
with 17,015 young people qualifying
themselves for the healing profession
there need be no fear that the coun-
try will run short Of doctors. 1t is
suggested that the decline in the
number Of medical students-there
are 2,771 fewer than in 1911 and 4,511
fewer than in 1910, and 11,127 below
1904-refects the rising standards of
the American schools of medicine.
These standards, in the past, were in
some cases ridiculously low. The out
put of physicians at present is small
er than for many years, but there Is
no doubt that while there has been
decrease in number for the last dec
ade there has been great gain in eff
cheney. The medical colleges are,
likewise, becoming fewer in number,
but those that remain are better quail
flied for their work.

An unusual form of pen was used
when the treaty of Paris was signed
after the Crimean war. On March 23,
1855. the Empress Eugenie having ex-
pressed wish to possess the pen with
which the plenipotentiaries were to
sign peace, the emperor ordered that
the finest eagle in the Jardin des
Plantes should be plucked Of its best
feather, which, being "taillee en-
plume" was used on that occasion
and then handed over to her majesty.
The eagles feather had been used for
the signature of one or two copies,
i'mais, qu' on e. est revolte," against
the employing of it for all, as in that
case the plenipotentiaries never would
have got to the end of their labors.

aAtLs VERSUS STEAM.

II the winds we're constant, and II a
large force OF men to work ship"
must not be taken along, paid and fed,
wind power might have competed
more successfully with steam power
In carrying trade on the sea. But the
could make much better
time between ports, and required few
|er men for the same carrying capacity,
and the unequal contest appeared GER
tain to end In the disappearance of
sailing ships from deep water service,
while the coastwise sailing craft gave
way to the tugs and their lines of
barges. But the application of ma
lchinery has reduced the number of
men necessary to manage the rigging
of sailing vessel, and the auxiliary
oil engine for use in calm or other
time of necessity has greatly lessened
the difference in favor of the steam
vessel. The oil engine takes but lit
tile space, as compared with the ma
chinery on board steamships, the mo-
tive power is instantly available, the
cost is trifling while in use, and there
lis no necessity for keeping fires burn
ing. With these new appliances, 1t is
probable that the day of the wind
jammer has not altogether passed. In
fact, 1t is significant that three sailing
vessels, tow of which are the largest
of their class, having carrying ca
pacity of about 5000 tons each, have
been chartered by a single firm of
merchants in China. They are to
load from China and Japan for Balti-
more or New York, coming around by
the Cape of Good Hope.

There's going to be a downward
tendency In diamonds for sometime to
come, on account of the unregulated
production of independent miners.
The policy of the de Beers concern
was like that of the Brazilian coffee
valorization conspirators-to hold
back offers for the sake of maintain
ing high prices; but the high prices
have tempted the independents to
promptly dispose of every stone they
mined.

The New York surgeon who has
been grating the legs of dead dogs
on living ones with success, now
hopes for similar results on human
beings. For the supply of legs and
arms he thinks electrocuted criminals
ought to be available. The idea is
practical and business like, at least,
and sentiment in the matter ought to
be satisfied with the reflection that
such men will be of some benefit to
society at least by this post-mortem
method. But. then, science always
will have tussle with sentiment, and
this last suggestion will not probably
be received with enthusiastic ap-
'proval.
