Another blow to the theory of ma
tional degeneracy is given by the re-
searches of Mr. Bulloch, who has writ
ten a book on the Gordon Highlanders
1T appears that the average height of
the men who were recruited for the
original regiment was very little more
than five feet three inches. The whole
of the recruits for the British army
last year averaged nearly three inches
more in height. Only five men in the
original regiment were more than six
feet tall. Soldiers recruited from the
south of Scotland today would make
a very different showing. The same
fact is brought home by the suits of
armor which have been preserved.
The castings Of the mighty men-at-
arms of the past would be very tight
fit for the ordinary man who walks
the streets of our towns. Better feed
ing, more hygienic modes of living and
greater care in youth has gwen us
race which shows no signs of degener-
acy in physique, but, on the contrary.
dwarfs the ancient standards Of vigor.

Tenements in Ancient Rome.

It is the common belief that the ten
ement house is a development OF re-
cent times This is not correct. for
the tenement is one of the Oldest
types of buildings in the world. They
were in Rome during it's splendor and
were so tall that many times they
toppled over. killing the inmates and
those in adjoining houses.
Emperor Augustus having been
moved by the loss of several hundred
people through the collapse OF tene-
ments ordered that in the future
houses should not be taller than %
feet which is equivalent to six stories
Up to that time tenements were run
up one hundred feet and more and on
streets that were not much wider than
alleys.
In the writings of one Roman he re-
fers to neighbor who had to ciimp
two hundred steps to his garret. A
building of this type in New YORK
dozen years ago would have been spo-
ken of as a skyscraper. Except apart
ment houses served by elevators there
isn't tenement of this height In the
city. Six /stories is as high as they
are built. Few people could be IN
duced to walk higher, and besides the
law covering a building of more than
six stories is such that it would De I'M
profitable to build.
Just when the first multl-ramlly
tenement was built is not known, out
Roman history speaks of Emperor
Ohio being DELAYED on his march
against Vitellus in 50 A. ID. by the ru-
Arry<a "
ms of tenements. There were twenty
miles of ruins. Through bad construc-
ton the buildings had fallen down.
row after row. This was regular oe-
cnrrence until Emperor Augustus linn
tied their height.
There used to be companies in Rome
for snoring up buildings that showed
indications of falling. They were kept
busy. Failing tenements were one OF
the great dangers of Rome in days OF

Are Advertisements
Truthful

They are. First, because
ninety per cent. Of business
men are honorable men.
Second: - All advertisers
have learned that It does not
pay to fool the public.
Third: -- Newspapers like
The Kennebec Journal keep a
strict censorship of their adj
vertising columns and exclude
anything Of questionable
character.
Merchants who advertise
are building not for today but
for the future. They expect
to be in business for the years
to come.
They know they can only
live by service.
When they advertise a thing
they must have the goods, and
the goods must be exactly as
represented or it would be
fatal.
There are no merchants In
this county more deserving Of
your patronage than those
who advertise in The Kenne-
bee Journal.
