development of the pituitary gland is
thought to be one of the chief character
istics of the Caucasian or European race
as distinguished from negro and Mongol
racial types.
The interstitial glands are known to con-
troll the development Of the body at pu-
berty. and if they are in any way dis
ordered, the development of the child into
the adult is retarded or altered. Here
again, it is commended, in the Caucasian
race the male traits are more developed
than in the negro and Mongol races. In
the latter types men and women are more
alike while the men have less hair on
the skin and also less of the pugnac1ous
quality which is typically male.
The suprarenal bodies, which rest upon
the kidneys, have been shown to control
Differentiation which causes the color of the
skin Disease of these bodies has beer
found to cause a gradual darkening OF the
skin That skin color is race character
istic is obvious. The superarenals are also
known to have something to do with the
maturing of the individual Children with
overdeveloped suprarenal bodies become
prodigies of muscular development and also
reach an early sexual maturity.
The pineal gland, which is buried in the
brain and is no bigger than a grain OF
wheat, is the least understood of any OF
the ductless glands, but is now known tt
have some definite effect upon the devel
opment of the individual.
The thyroid gland is perhaps the most
important Of all these glands, both In Its
function of regulating bodily activities and
in it's effect on growth. Disease of the thy
roid gland stunts and changes the growth
of the body to such an extent that the victim
seems to belong to another species of hui
mainly.
Children in whom this gland is diseased
become cretins, or dwarf idiots. When the
affIiction comes later in life, the skin and
hair are affected. One type of idiot
dwarfism which results from affliction OF
the thyroid has been known for over hall
a century to the medical profession as
'Mongolan idiot" because of the resem-
bIances of the physical type to that of the
Monaghan race.
These mysterious glands are now the
great unknown of the human body Their
study perhaps promises more for the future
of mankind than any other one thing IN
science

COLD-BLOODED
BV DR.. Frank Grams

Of all the recent crimes reported in the
papers the most terrible seems to be that OF
a woman who, with the aid of her lover,
killed her husband, cut him into pieces, and
threw the remains into the river.
This took place in village on the Marne'
near Paris.
The mans name was JOHN.
The paramour, whose name was Burger,
came in with the wife while JOHN was in
bed The two men got into an argument
which resulted in Burger strangling JOHN
to death, after which he removed the body
to the kitchen and proceeded to cut 1t up.
The pieces were put in three packages and
thrown into the Marine.
Similar crimes have been committed, but
that which renders this peculiarly atrocious
was that the perpetrators, after it was over,
proceeded with an almost incredible indiffer-
ence to lead quiet and simple suburban
life.
Those ep vrerts who commit their afro
tiles under the influence of alcohol Oh
other drugs do not seem to us so revolving
as the wretch who kills his fellow man in
cold blood and goes about his business.
The acme of villainy is expressed in the
be villain still"
After the murder the 5iolent criminal
seems less odious than this mild-mannered
pair, Burger and Mrs. JOHN, who wash the
blood from their hands and say:
'NoW that's that, and we can go along
and have some peace. We will do now what
we have always dreamed of doing, set up
little family hotel in the country. After
all the trouble we have had we certainly
have the right now to a little peace"
For this couple their crime was but paren-
thesis. Before it they were commonplace,
mild-mannere1 and Woodworking people,
and after it they were the same
The neighbors knew them for orderly
careful and respectable persons, aside from
their irregular relation.

calmly as they would cut you leg of NUT

little trip up the river one Of them carrying
the head and upper part of the body, the
other carrying the lower portions.
Intoxication and passion are no excuse for
crime But the fact remains that evil that
is wrought with cool deliberation, perpe-

Post Mortem Vote

Democrats of North Dansvilie voted this
week for a dead man. Jacob H. Smith, can

ing. The time set by law for the filing OF

event Of Democratic victory.
Frog Puzzle
The accounts that circulate from time to
time about the discovery of frogs embedded
alive in solid stone are discussed in "The
Manchester Guardian"
Many theorists, it says, have endeavored
to find plausible explanation of the pres
ence of frogs in place where they must
have dwelt for almost untold years, of the
way they got in, and of how they lived with
out getting out. Needless to say, of course.
whether or not ordinary frogs can live en-
bede1 in stone for any considerable time is
another matter.
The latest discovery of this kind is report
ed from Werneth Low. Four men, it is saio,
quarrying stone there for the Compstall
Council, prised up big block of stone from
which eight frogs emerged In the stone
the men found depressions which correspond
ed with the size and shape of the frogb. There
was no doubt apparently about the frogs
vitality, for when they were released they
are said to have leaped three feet into the
were no indications of any means by which
the frogs could have got into the stone.
A not unnatural doubt whether the frogs
ever were really sealed up within the stone
was not encouraged by Professor Sir Will
liam Boyd Dawkins in an interview with
representative of 1.-THE Manchester Guard
IAN" Sir William said that during the ex-
cavations for the construction OF the Man
chester ship canal he had personally investi-
gated a case in which a frog sealed up
alive in sandstone thirty feet below the sur
face with no possibility of escape.
There was no reason to doubt the truth
o. the reported discovery at Werneth Low.
Asked if he could account for the presence
Of the frogs within the stone, Sir William
sal that there were no frogs in the world
when the stone itself was being formed. At
that time the frogs ancestors had not even
dropped their tails. The real explanation
was simple one. The frogs crept into the
stone through some face assure when they
were very small. Flies and insects also OBJ
tanned an entry in the same way, and on
t'ese the frogs lived. At last, like the fox
in the old nursery tale they were too fat
to get out. And that was all there was about
it.
No other explanation, he said, was Eos
sible. Buckland had experim ented with
frogs nearly hundred years ago. They
had been sealed Up alive in plant pots, but
they had always died. 1t was proved that
frogs could not live without food for a long
err period than twelve months.

Not Educational

Theaters are he'd by the British courts not
to be educational institutions, under the
terms of decision handed down by the Lord
Chief Justice. The case arose when the aud
itors of the educational funds of the city
questioned the legality of the school authori-
ties spending 5000 pounds in taking chill
dren to special performances of Shakespear-
can plays.
The Lord Chief Justice remarked the ed
ucational authorities should take children to
the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abb
ley and the Tower of London, but that the
law did not not contemplate attendance at
theaters as a part of child's elementary
education.

PUBLIC MARKETS

Z ARMERs' markets and steamboat line: are two
/ things that are frequently discussed in this town;
and first and last considerable thought and some real
money have been expended upon them, without getting
anywhere IN particular.
The principal trouble seems to be that every one
wants both things to start off full blown. And the
law Of both nature and trade oppose that Towns
that have large and successful public markets were
many years in developing them, and the same thing
may be said about steamboat traffic.
The local realty board, it is reported. gave the
market matter earnest consideration quite recently with
encouraging results, but whether tx time is ripe for
a movement of this kind they probably will be able
to determine by keeping watch upon what happens to
a curb market which the advertising columns OF the
local newspapers announce is soon to be opened on
Washington street near the Heart of the city.
This is frankly commercial affair. but the man
back of it. if his advertisements may be believed has
had experience and presumably realizes the import
ance Of giving the consuming public generous share
Of the benefits Of this form Of merchandising 1t hs
succeeds others will follow and if public markets are
natural need here the time will come when providing
suitable quarters will be municipal problem
When that time comes it i, to be hoped the realtors
and the other local organizations will lend helping
hand and be just as public spirited as they are willing
10 be now.
