MARK TWAlN'S SENSITIVE EAR
5iographer Records Fact That Certain
Sounds Would Drive Humorist to
Border Of Distraction.

Mark Twain passed middle life
without music meaning more to him
than a pretty tune or a prOdigiOus
performance, a rather remarkable fact
when one considers what an artist
the man was in his own field. If Mark
Twain had been stone deaf the fact
might have been less remarkable, but
we have already noted that he could
play the piano sufficiently well by ear
to provide his own accomPaniments
for the negro spirituals, and 1t is of
further record that he was a man so
Singularly sensitive to certain sounds
that they sometimes drove him to the
borders of hysteria. Mr.. Paine has
touched slightly on this popularity,
but It was actually a more serious con-
sideratiOn in estimating the humOr-
lists life than the authorized biOg-
raphy would lead one to believe. He
relates the incident of the clocks in
the home Of Thomas Mast, the car
toOnist, when Twain and George W.
Cable, in the course of a reading tour,
lodged for the night with the Mast
family. But that was not the only
time that the ticking of a clock so
tortured Twain's nerves that he took
high-handed means to silence it.

NOT DUE TO CIVILIZATION
Investigator Denies That Badness
Comes as a Result of Habits Of
Modern Man.

Shedding the hair of the head is
part of the present evolution of civil
lied humanity, claims DR.. Ales
Hrdlicka, of the Smithsonian institu-
tiOn, who has made an extensive an
thrOpOlOgical study of Americans
whose ancestors have lived at least
three generations on this continent.
II would be wrong to. blame the re-
duced vitality shown by the hair on
any particular habits of civilized man
or on disease conditions.
These may play a part, he says, but
the real cause is hereditary. The hair
tends toward an earlier senility and
loss because it has become Of less use
tC man living under modern cOndi-
tions than 1t was in the past. Nature
does not tolerate for long what has
become useless or weakened.
1t is the men who are getting bald,
he finds. Women lose hair, too, he
says, but not nearly so rapidly as the
males. He is sure the women, do not
miSlead him, as all of them were eX-
amined with their hair undOne and
freely hanging down. Although Doctor
Hrdllcka explains the predispOsitiOn
to badness among males to inherit
ance, he adds words Of woe to the
flapper by explaining that the reason
women have longer-clinging hair is
that possibly the weight of the fe
male hair acts as q tOnic"-SciencC

taurants, foOdless and closed for four

during the revolution had nothing to
