SKULL AS A BIOGRAPHER.
AnthrOp0lOgist's Deductions from Study
of Sir Thomas Brownies.

The London correspondent of the
journal of the American Medical associ-
alton writes concerning the deductions
Sir Arthur Keith, the British anthro-
pologst, has made from a careful exam
ination of the skull of Sir Thomas
Browne, physician theologian and mys-
tic.
The latter was born in London in
1000 says the writer. For several
generations his mothers people lived in
Middlesex and Sussex. His father came
from Cheshire, where his ancestors had
held land for four generations at least,
and from what we know of the popua-
ton of that part of England, may well
have been of the pre-Saxon or Welsh
stock
"Sir Arthur Keith thinks that he de-
rived his chief bodily characteristics
from his fathers side His COM
plexion was dark, his hair dark
brown. These features are more COM
mon in Wales than in any other part of
great Britain His head was doiichoce-
phaic, measuring 1916 by 146 nm.
tcranial index 745). A greater portion
of the length of the head lay behind the
auditory meatus than in front of them;
whereas, in most persons today, it lies
in front.
Ills growing brain must have ex-
panded backward much more than is
skull is low pitched, its highest point
rising only 113 nm. above the auditory
meatus. The forehead. therefore, was
rcceding. A head of low pitch is COM
mon in Britain, particularly among the
natives of the western countries. His
face was rather wide in proportion to its
length. His nose was narrow and long,
ITS width in the skull being only ID nm.
and its length 53 nm. His lower jaw
showed a medium chin development; the
distance between the angles was above
the average-99 nm.
This type of face, and. particularly
the long. narrow nose. is commonest
among the natives of western Britain.
and again indicates pre-Saxon lineage
for the wise and mystic theological ply
stefan of Norwich. A point which Keith
loes not refer to is how frequently q
non-Saxon strain can be traced in great
English writer's. A cast taken from the
skull is of great interest. 1t shows
that the temporal lobeS are particularly
we'll developed. This is in keeping with
| Brownies pre-eminent command of words
and aptitude for languages, as well as
his fondness for music.

Child Girls Give Comedy.

The young girls of the World Wide
Guild who presented the comedy. Camp
Fidelity Girls, at the town hall Tuesday
evening. are entitled to hearty commend
alton for their excellent work and the
manner in which the entertainment was
given.
The lines throughout the four-act play
We're perfectly memorized and the enun-
citation so clear that the audience had
no difficulty in following the plot. The
scenes were acted in natural and pleas
ing way and the many humorous situa-
tons drew laughter and applause from
the audience.
At the opening of the play students
at a girls school receive news that they
are debarred from spending the vaca-
ton at home because of an outbreak of
scarlet fever. They are sent instead to
Camp Fidelity, where they become ac-
Quainted with several of the natives and
have many exciting adventures. The
midnight scene. with a wild search for
a mysterious buried treasure, was es-
pecially well carried out.
Several w. w. G. songs were included
in the entertainment and at the closing
curtain all joined in the w. w. G. yell.
A victrola furnished music between
the acts.
Refreshments of sandwiches. cake and
coffee were on sale and after the play
a social was held old and young join
ing in jolly games. About $50 was re-
ceived during the evening.

the new order; looks upon Khama as an
old fogey; does not believe as he does,
and shows no inclination of following in
his footsteps. For % years the son has
been away from home and has not seen
his old father. He turned UP only Just

NEW AUTO TESTING APPARATUS.
Gives Complete Road Performance Data
PhOtOgraDhs Gas Consumption.

Engineers of the bureau of standards
have lately designed an apparatus which
accurately measures and records the per-
Torrance of n motor car in road tests,
and the first of these appliances to be
built has Just recently undergone trials
with pronounced success.
1t consists of n flowmeter camera,
which makes a Photographic record OF
the gas consumption, and multiple re-
corder which keeps tab on 1G distinct
and separate operations of various ma
chncry parts of the automobile.
The multiple recorder, which is Sc

the road: the relative air speed; the ac-
celeration and deceleration power out
put; rolling resistance; manifold depres-
sion. and the changes in the tempera-

with engine operation. After an official
try-out 81 motor car, the federal engi-
neers will know more about the automo-
bile than its makers as regards its
ability to handle gas and oil economic
ally and operate efficiently.
One of the test appliances is dou-
ble-tubed Ventura meter which is used
to record the speed of the car through
the air. This curious device looks some
thing like weather yane. 1t is made
of metal, bolted to the running board,
