HEAT WON'T HELP MATURITY
Result of Columbia Professors Studies
Conflicts With Former
Views.

Children do not reach maturity in
tropical climates more quickly than in
temperate climates. This remarkable
conclusion, which runs contrary to q
widely held belief, has been reached
by Frof Franz Boas, professor of an
thropology at Columbia university.
Professor Boas, fresh from participa-
ton in scientific survey of Porto
Rico, has just made his report to the
New York Academy Of Sciences, which
undertook the investigation.
"The first of our anthropological in
quiries had for its object the study Of
conditions of growth of the body in a
tropical environment" Professor Boas
says. 1T is generally assumed that
heat has the effect Of accelerating the
physiological development so that in
warm climates children reach maturity
earlier than in temperate zones. Our
inquiries do not substantiate this view.
The material has not yet been collated,
but from the general character Of the
data | venture to say that they will be
of the greatest Importance for prac-
teal measures relating to the hygiene
of childhood and for the management
of schools"

Notre Dame de Lorette.

Out beyond the wood, on the hill
side, in the communication trenches
and other trenches, we were enabled
to comprehend the true significance
of that phrase uttered so carelessly by
newspaper readers-Notre Dame de
Lorette.
The whole of the ground was in
heaps. There was no spot, literally,
on which shell had not burst. Vege'
tation was quite at an end. The shells
seemed to have sterilized the earth.
There was not tree, not bush, not
a blade of any sort, not root. Even
the rankest weeds refused to sprout
in the perfect desolation. And this
was the incompatible soil of France.
The trenches meandered for miles
through the pitted brown slopes, and
nothing could be seen from them but
vast membranes Of barbed wire
knotted metal heaped on the unyiel6
ing earth. | noticed few
bricks in the monotonous expanse OF
dwarf earth mounds made by shells.
"Hello!" I said. "Was there cot.
tage here?"
No! What I had discovered was the
illustrious chapel of Notre Dame de
Lorette.

EoT ORDINARY "SOB" STGHTYY
Rich Little Poor Girl Depicted as Her
oine of Incident That Is "Some-
what Different"

The rich little poor girl stood out
side her door. On the one side were
snow and ice and the little girl, with
her arms full OF lockwood, which she
had cleaned from the streets. On her
way home she had passed fire, and
the water from the fire hose had fro
zen to the heat stimulators. All, but
let us look on the other side of the
door. A fireplace was there, with
three little ones and their mother
gathered about it. On the stove were
kettles full of various substances. Per-
haps they were eatables-we shall
never know. But there was no fire in
the fireplace nor in the stove. No
warm glow radiated from the hearth
nor did the kettles sing on the stove
The rich little poor girl knocked. She
was let in They had been waiting for
her since 'daybreak-she had been out
all night. Her mother was the first
to speak And this is what she said
it meanwhile being remembered that
the family was cold, destitute, forlorn
but trying to keep UP the pace: Have
you got a cigarette? | am half
starved" -Harvard Lampoon.

ABOUT THE HUMBLE RABBIT
All DweI!ers in the Country Will Rec
ognize Truth in the Remarks
of Humorist.

There are many kinds Of rabbits
besides the Welsh kind and Belgian
hares.
The rabbit is what some people
haven't any more sense than.
RABBITS are great mathematicians.
They multiply with much rapidity and
are good to eat in addition. Almost
any fried rabbit is big enough to di'
vide.
When we were boys, we used to lie
on our alimentary canals near the
root of a tubular tree where a dog
had caused a closely-pursued bunny
to sequester himself, and twist at
that entrenched wat till we had so
much Of his foliage on the green briar
we were using, that he was glad to
come out and join the majority of his
fleece.
This was rank cruelty from hu-
name standpoint, but it is part of a
regular boys normal life, so why mas
ticate the rag and get Mortified over
It?
If you are fond of young fruit trees
and rabbits. you are doomed to have
a one-sided happiness in your life, tor
you will have to give up one or the
other.
A ten-cent rabbit with it's belly full
of the vital sap bark Of twelve-dollar
apple tree is the happiest thing ever.

EVITABLE DEATH.
Incident Vouched for by Eminent
American Artist Throws Somewhat
New Light on Character OF
Russian Soldier.

When T. D. Millet, the artist, was
at the. front with a band OF CosGacks
during the war between the Russians
and the Turks in ISIS, al cdd incident
came to his knowledge. Mr.. Miliets
words are
zone cold Afternoon at the end OF
December a young Circassian Coss2ck
came to camp headquarters with an
article Of booty which attracted more
attention than any other object before
exhibited as a relic OF the war. He
was dressed in a worn and shabby uni
form and rode an underrcd carelessly
groomed and oyerworked animal.
There was a merry, kindly expression
on his face and but for his uniform
he would never have been suspected
of belonging to the race whose name
is widely Synonymous with feGocity
and cruelty. He had gathered UP the
long name of his horse in such way
that it made primitive sort OF ham,
mock. The fingers of his left hand
were twisted in the lnotted horsehair,
and in this ingenious bed lay, or rath-
er reclined, half-seated little girl
baby. perhaps a year and half old.
She was dressed in peculiar, anti
ouated costume made Of figured cal
leo.
IN reply to our questions the Cos
sack reported that he had been, with
his men, that morning in pursuit OF
Turkish wagon train. They were I'M
able TO capture the train, but had gath
cred I'D great quantity Of booty
thrown away by the fugitives to light
en- their loads. On the side OF the
road he noticed bundle Of ragged
counterpanes, and dismounted to ex-
anime it. To his surprise he discoV-
cred that child's voice proceeded
from the bundle, and unrolling it, he
disclosed the baby, lying quite warm
and comfortable, just as it had rolled
off one Of the wagong. He said he
couldn't leave the little one there to
die. and couldn't take care OF it him.
self. so he rugged a cradle out OF his
horses name and came directly to
headquarters"

CANNOT UNDERSTAND STEEL
sciensists P.zGscd Over What They
Assert to &c Most Unusual
Freak of Nature.

If 1t were not for one tiny, cratic

civilization. For We should not have

had iron, but pure iron is almost use.

of carbon is added to it that it be-
comes hard enough to take cutting
edge Then it is called steel.
Why steel hardens is an unsolved
problem. The Scientific American re-
produces some extracts from an adj
dress before the British Institute Of
Mechanical Engineers. delivered by
Professor Arnold, who had for many
years been Investigating the chemical
and mechanical relations between
iron, carbon and other metals, and Sir
Robert Hadiield's experiments that
called attention to this break" in the
order of nature which alone makes
steel possible.
Nickel and cobalt are so closely re-
lated to iron in their properties and
in their position in the periodic CLASH
fication atomic weights, specific
gravity, fusing point and valence being
almost the same-that it might be ex-
pected they would behave identically
when united with carbon. Not so,
however. Sir Robert Hadfeld found
that when the steel" made of nickel
and cobalt was heated or hammered
the carbon came out of the compost
ton and was precipitated as graphite.
If iron behaved this way tool steel
would turn to cast iron as soon as
heated; and it is on the fact that it
docs not-"a seemingly quite cratic
departure on natures part from her
orderly plan"-that modern manufac-
ture is founded.

Leprosy in Boston.

A case of leprosy was discovered in
Boston a few days ago. This makes
two cases within five weeks. The
latest victim is a sailor, about seventy
two years old. He was born in the
United States and has followed the
sea for many years, having visited
Asiatic ports, where he evidently con-
tracted the disease. It is said that
his present illness began about ten
years ago, but that he never before
applied for treatment in Boston. When
he appeared at one of the local hos
pitfalls the case was recognized and
was reported to the health depart
ment. The other case of leprosy, that
of dishwasher, was not diagnosed fer
seven months, though the man was I'M
der treatment much Of the time at

Athenian Climate.

Athens, according to Byron, was the
choicest spot in Europe, in respect
to climate. He found it "a perpetual
spring; during eight months l never
passed a day without being as many
hours on horseback; rain is extremely
rare, snow never lies in the plains, and
a cloudy day is an agreeable rarity.
In Spain, Portugal, and every part OF
the East which visited, except Ionia
and Attica, I found 10 such superiority
of climate to our own; and at Constan-
tinople, where passed May, June and
part Of July, you might damn the eli
mate, and complain of Spleen five
days out of seven" But mems luck
differs. Gladstone and his party were
only few days at Athens in Decem-
Der, 1858; but, as Lord Morley says,
illusions as to the eternal summer
with which the poets have blessed the
Isles of Greece vanished as they found
deep snow in the streets, icicles on
the Acropolis, and snowballing in the
Parthenon."

SMALL MAN WINS HIS SPU2S
Trenches Make Him a Better Fighter
Than the Larger Soldier, 1t Is
Now Said.

A Bantam Corps" now is organic
ing In. British Columbia. 1t may not
be easy to explain why, but the fact
is that energy and pugnacity seem to
become intensified as the physical
bulk diminishes in all animals, lnclud-
ing man. The capacity for enduring
physical hardships generally dlmln'
ishes as the size and weight increase,
so that the idea of q Bantam Corps
is one of the most practical and valu-
able of the suggestions offered in con-
nection with recruiting.
Among the many cherished but now
fossil decisions OF miiitarism that have
been for centuries regarded as axl-
omatic this one of. coupling power OF
endurance with size Of frame is the
most obstructive of progress. Hun
dreds Of thousands of eager recruits
have been rejected because they were
a trifle below the prescribed dimen-
sions, or for slight defects Of eyesight
or teeth.
Trench fighting has revolutioriZed
the prevailing ideas about war in this
as in other respects. A small man may
endure the strain CT trench work bet
ter than a large man, may be better
sniper, is a less expansive target for
the enemy's bullets and is likely to be
less expensive to maintain. In the
old style of fighting, which was large
ly matter CT charging on foot or on
horseback, weight might tell in favor
of the heavier man, but there is COM
paratively little of that sort of fight
ing now.

The Old Capitol Building.

The structure in Washington city
known as the "Old Capitol Building"
has a memorable history. 1t was
erected in 1900, and was originally de-
signed as tavern, or boarding house.
On account of poor management, the
tavern was closed after a few years.
During the war of 1912 the British cap.

of the public buildings, including the
capitol. The government then pur-
