to a young man, who would jump

use and undergo greater stress than
those OF the left side, and this causes
deeper wrinkles upon the right side OF
the face. But this condition has an
other result. AS being in closer touch
with the thinking half OF the brain,
the right side OF the face has greater
animation and the right eye Is more
expressive than the left.
Al further proof Of this theory,
andS one which may not be wholly
welcome, these gentlemen go further
and tell us that the two sides OF the
face do not match, They say that
one eyebrow usually is higher than
the other, and that the eyes ordinar-
lily are not mates, And neither do
the two corners OF the human mouth
tally. our ears seldom match, and
one jaw often is set differently from
the other,
It is a familiar axiom that there are
no duplicates in nature. Tho physi-
ologists claim that this is one OF the
causes for differences in the features
OF the same person that nature never
models two eyes or ears in an exactly
identical way. But there are persons
i'm whom the difference is so small
that it practically does not exist. And
nearly always this is a woman. Then
we get what is called a perfect

In the Baltimore A c. pool three

Schelle negotiated the fifty-yard dash
in 26 2-5 seconds and repeated his win
in the 10O-yard dash, making the dis

Marks Are Better.
Upon investigation IL was learned
that the S. A. A. A. U. records made
in championship. competition were
26 As seconds for the fifty, and 1:O4
for the century. Preston Petrie, Of
the Doyle A. c., OF Baltimore, is the
ffty-yard dash holder, while F. e.
Bamman, of the Washington Swim
ming Club, is holder OF the 10O-yard
mark.
Won Schelle's records were made in
competition in what corresponds to
the interscholastic championships. La
