MEN ARE GROWING SHORTER
French savant Years Ago Gave Out In.
formation That Adam Was 1923
Feet 9 Inches Tall.

In recent years anatomists have
shown in a practical way that the
height of man or woman can be in.
creased to considerable extent by ap.
pliances for stretching. These exten.
siOns, however, have only been OF
inches or fractions of an inch, and
giants have not been, nor are they
likely to be developed by artificial
means. 1t was French savant, named
Henrion, who, 200 years ago. gave to
the world authoritative statements as
to the height of Adam and Eve. He
said that the father of the race was
123 feet inches high and Eve 1lS
feet 8 inches. He noted that from the
creation of these enlarged editions OF
humanity, degeneration had been
rapid; that Noah was only 81, Abra.
ham only 20 and Moses but ID feet in
height.
According to this French authority
" the Christian dispensation had not
arrested this decrease, man by this
time-200 years agO-would have been
mere microscopic object, and we may
conclude that by our time he would not
have been at all. NJ. Henrion did not
give any explanation as to height Of
those ancients.
Perhaps the most gigantic story on
record is that concerning an immenss
skeleton, said to have been in Sicily
which measured 800 feet in length
This story, however, carries it's own
reputation, as 1t Is said that found be-
side this giant was his walking stick
which was 80 feet long and thick as
telegraph pole. A clever calculator
made the estimate that a walking stick
only 30 feet in length for a man who
measured 300 feet would be as ridicu.

THESE BOOKS WERE DIGEsTED

To literally digest a book is an &C
complishment which few can boast Of
having performed. Nevertheless, &
good deal of literature has been de
stroyed in this way at one time or an
other.
Barnabo Visconti compelled two
papal delegates to eat the bull of eI.
communication which they had brought
him, together with its silken cords and
leaden seal. AS the bull was writte1
on parchment, 1t was all the more diff
1cult to digest. A similar anecdote Is
related Of an Austrian general, who
had signed a note for 1000 forms, and
when 1t fell due, compelled his cred

Although IN substance the long COM

terms. and points out that Austrian
submarines are operating solely i'm the

The truth is that Germany Is cre,i-

LONDON March 6.-Thc American
amha ssador at Vienna has been handed
the reply Of tho Austrian government
To the American note inauirinG as TO
the position OF the Austrian govern
mcnt in regard To unrestricted sub
marine warfare. according to Vienna
dispatch to Reuters by way OF AM
Stcrdam.
The reply declares that ncutrals are
responsible for losses they suffer by
entering territory where warliko opera
tions arc taking place.
The Austrian memorandum referring
to the note on tho Ancona case says
that II strictly adhercs to the assur-
ance already given"
VIENNA RESERVES RIGHT
FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION
At the same time, Austria calls at
tcntion 10 the fact that nj the time oc
tn" Ancona incident it stated that il
reserved the right to bring MP later
for discussion difficult international
questions which arise in connection
with submarine warfare"
Tho text of the Austrian reply is
quoted az follows in a later Vienna
dispatch to Reuters:
From tho memorandum Of February
Austro- Hungarian Foreign Minister has
concluded that the Washington Cabinet,
IN view Of statements made on Feb
ruary 10 Of last year and on January
81. 1917. by the Austro- Hungarian gov
ornment. is now in doubt regarding the
attitude which Austria Hungary Will
hcnccforth observe regarding the SUBJ
marine war, and as to whether the as
Surnnces given by tho Austro-IIun-
cnr'an government TO tho Washington
Cabinet in tho course Of negotiations
about the Ancona and Persia pan.rs
have not been nullifcd by the aforc-
mentioned statement. The -Austro-si
hungarian Svernment is ready to make
clear and definite statement so that
these doubts may be solved
ENTENTE is BLAMED
FOR SUBMARINE WAR
THE Austro Hungarian government
may be allowed. first Of all, to discuss
briefly the methods employed by the
entente powers in wagins submarine
war. because they are the starting
point for the intensified submarine war
begun by Austria Hungary and her al
lies. and also throw bright light
upon the attitude which tho Avs,ro-
hungarian government has taken
hitherto IN regard to the questions
which have arisen. When Great Brit
ain Joined the war against the central
powers. only few ycars had elapsed
since that memorable time wheu sh<, q
in union With other states, began 70
