MANS STRENGTH A FICTION
In Reality He Is Less Resistant t
Enemies Than Woman

1t is customary to speak of man as
stronger than woman, though this is half
true, half false: for although he is stronger
of frame and muscle and more active, he is
of markedly weaker constitution, less re-
sistant to the enemies of life. And this
difference seems native and intrinsic. not
due to externals or to the chance arrange
ments of society; for already in infancy
the man2child is more open to the attack
of mortal disease Where 100 girl babies
die IN the first year of life, our census
shows that there die about 130 boys
In the sense organs there is a difference
closer to what we know of mind, and
which is not wholly IN accord with the
common thought that women are more
sensitive than men. They are more delicate
of touch and can perceive certain tastes
notably sweet, at the low degree that es
capes the man, although for salt and sour
and bitter, as well as for smell in general
the evidence is not so clear In Miss Mel
sons experiments in California, says
George Malcolm Stratton in the Century
the men were able to hear fainter tones
and for all but one of several pure colorl
of the spectrum the men, contrary to th'
popular belief, detected the color at low
i er intensity than did the women.
But, besides this difference in the sense
when they are normal, serious defects o
eye and ear came far more often to tn
man and to the man-child. Color blind
ness. which is usually innate and is there
fore not to be ascribed to the manner i
which man lives and works, is about ter
, fold more frequent among men tha
among women. Blindness pure and simpl
is also more frequent among men.
OF the number reported totally blind
our country, about 10000 are male and 10
500 are female As proof that this great e
: cess of the male blind is not due entlre
e to the greater danger in mems work, thel
i is a great excess of males among tho
e blind at birth The most serious defec
d of hearing also occur oftener among mel
= for of those reported in our census :
e totally deaf there are thousands mo
a males than there are females.-East'
e Free Press.

Great Variety of Features.

The Vermont Wheel club indoor circus
committee, consisting of c. L. Stickney,
Horton d. Walker, Earl A. Braman, How
ard C. Rice, Victor A. Space and Presi-
dent Z. j. Fenton, furnished the club
members last evening one of the best
clubroom entertainments ever provided
for them.
1t was a sure enough circus, with brass
band, cavalcade, trained animals, clowns,
performers, freaks and so forth, with a
midway as not the least attractive fea-
ture, and from o'clock until midnight
or after the various attractions were put
on in a manner that created great en-
thusiasm.
Grandstand seats had been built around
three sides of the arena, and they were
crowded, while many sat elsewhere or
stood at various vantage points, crowd
of about 200 being present.
The cavalcade included a glittering
galaxy of circus people, besides the ami
mails. First was the Brattleboro Mill.
tary band in costumes, members of the
committee in silk hats and black capes
cabaret artists in fancy costumes, the
animals and clowns.
The cabaret artists were four young
women, who gave the program plenty Of
spice and pep. They were Miss Rita
Murrie of New York, soprano soloist
Miss Jane Golding of Boston, Russian
violinist; Miss Isabelle Arnold of Boston
singer, pianist and impersonator OF mu
sical instruments; and Miss Shirle.
Thorne of New York, banjoist. They pu
their numbers across in fine shape ant
were given an ovation.

Refuses to Present Names

AMBASSADORS
IN SPECIAL SESSION
French Officials Feel It Important That
Allies Insist Upon Execution of
Clause Requiring Extradition of
Germans for Trial.

PARIS, Feb. 4.-Kurt Won Lersner,
head of the German peace delegation
here has returned to Premier Millerand
the list containing the names of Ger
mans whose extradition is demanded by
the allies, which was handed to him
last night, and has informed the pre-
mier that he has resigned and is leav-
ing for Berlin by the first train
Baron Won Lersner told the Associa
ted Press his decision was in line with
the attitude he had maintained through
out regarding the question of extradi-
ton. He declared he had held that
no German officials could be in
strumental in carrying out the
extradition clauses of the treaty
and consequently the matter hay
ing come up in definite final
form there was nothing left for him to
do but to resign and go home.
Immediately after receiving the list
last night Baron Bon Lersner addressed
the following letter to Premier Miller
and. "Your exeelleney has transmitted
to me note containing the names of

NO THEORY AS TO
ORIGIN OF FIRE
No Narrow Escapes, but
Several Saved Only Cloth
ing They Had On-Build-
ing Used as Resort for
Persons Nervously but
Not Mentally Affected -
Property Insured for
$500

Linden Lodge, a summer and winter
resort on the Brattleboro Retreat pro-
perty, for persons nervously but not
mentally afflicted, was destroyed by
fire early this morning. The 35 or more
persons living there, who came from
various parts of the country, escaped
without injury but several of them lost
all their clothing except what they had
on and their other personal effects.
The property was located outside the
hydrant system so that no water was
available from that source for fighting
the flames and West river was covered
by two and half feet of ice so that
it would have been impossible for the
FIRE department to have taken water
from the river in time to have saved
any part of the building. DR.. s. E.
Lawton, superintendent of the Retreat,
stated this forenoon that he thought
the FIRE department did everything with
in its power.
The building was valued at $4,000
anu Ine IuTDllGTe aL So.OUU Inc Qe-
struction of other personal property will
bring the loss up to about $4,000.
There was insurance of $6,500 on the
building and of $1,000 on the furniture,
through the agency of H. E. Taylor &
Son.
Miss Anna johnson, nurse who was
at the Lodge, was awakened by smoke
about l clock and notified the house
keeper. A telephone message was sent
to the fire station on Elliot street and
the four men who sleep there went
at once to the scene with the automo-
, bile truck. Fire Chief Frank Streeter
| entered the building to ascertain the
location of the fire and when he reached
! a room on the second floor in the west
part of the ell the flames were break
ing through the ceiling. He rushed Il
: the attic, but it was so full of smoke
l that he was unable to enter He thel
telephoned to his house and asked tha
