Why They WAX In Circles.

IF you were lest liz a desert or Ii Q
forest and tried TO find your way out
says q well known scientist, you
would be almost sure to walk In q
circle" This well known fact II due
to a slight inequality in the length Of
the legs. Careful measurements Of q
series of skeletons have shown that
only 10 per cent had the lower Limbs
equal In length. 80 per cent had the
right limb longer than the left, while
In 55 per cent the left limb was the
longer.
The result Of one limb being longer
than the other will naturally be that q
person will uncOnsciously take longer
step with the longer limb. and eonss-
Quently will trend to the right or LEFT,
according as the left or right leg = rhe
longer. The left leg being more ire
euently the longer, the hclinat1so
should take place more frequently to
the right than to the left, and this con-
clusion Il quite borne out by observa-
lions made on a number Of persons
when walking blindfolded. The In
equality In the length Of limb II not
confined to any sex or race. but Seems
to be universal In all respects.

q big first night in the Petit Champs,
the occasion being the performance of

Turks, but the actresses were all Ar
menians, as Turkish women are not

but the general opinion is expressed by
all thinking Turks that before long
their women will make their first ap-
pearance as actresses.
The emancipation Of women In Tur-

best society In Constantinople the wo-
men no longer wear their wells when
receiving their guests. Though wells
continue to be worn by the Turkish
women In the street. still the fashion
has made them so fimsy and transpar-
snt that they might just as well be dis
pensed with.
Consequently all the fascination and
mystery that heretofore has surround
Cd the harem has suddenly disappeared.
There Is no longer any such thing, and
In its place there is simply the usual
family life. The Turkish woman Is as
much housewife as her European Sis
ter, and In this war her resources have
been taxed to the utmost Despite the
fact that the rich agricultural country
Of Anatolia Is not far distant. the prices
