More H.iry Than Ape,

Scientists state that human beings,
generally, have more hairs on their
heads than some Of the apes. The
average number Of scalp hairs a
square centimeter was 312 for man
and 307 for thirteen specimens of
the large anthropoid apes. Gorillas
are less halry-chested than many men.
Two adults had only six and three
hairs, respectively, square cent?
meter, whereas man-not a very
hairy-chested one at that-had nine.
Scalp hair varies in density among
the human races, It appears. Six
adult negroes averaged 297 hairs a
square centimeter and three adult
white men had few more, with an
average count Of 1888.

Regret

The man of regrets is almost In
variably a fellow of flimsy texture.
Continually bemoaning the fact that
he has done the wrong thing, he
shuffles through life a sad and pa
thetic performer. His hopes are al
ways empty. His cup of sorrow is
ever full. Its Ingredients are split
milk and tears.-Kansas City Times.

him loose unless they receive

Morse Custom Kept Up
bv Shetland Islanders

The ancient Morse fire festival OF
Up Helly-aa, which means the last Of
the holy yule days. is annually cele-
brated in Lerwick Shetland islands.
In the last celebration three hundred
Cutters carrying sixfoot torches,
took part In the torchleht procession,
wearing brilliantly -colored costumes.
They were led by stalwart vikings
The leader OF the Guizers, the Guizer
Jarl, commanding figure. wore pur-
Pile and orange cloak, aluminium coat
Of mail. and silver helmet surmounted
by ontspread ravens wings. The Guiz-
ers fell in behind the full-sze Morse
war galley "Frithr,' meaning friend
ship. with Its towering dragon head
and fish-like tail. The "Jarl' stood a
solitary figure firmly graspng the star
board steering oar Of the ship. A bn-
gle call gave the signal to light up
the torches. and then. accompanied by
the singing OF martial airs and band
and pipe music, the procession moved
through the streets Of tie town. FL
nally the torches are thrown into the
valley, which is thus consigned TO Val
halla. This ceremony recalls 10 Shet-
landers the Morse custom Of placing
a dead warrior in his galley, setting
1t alight and launching Il on the sea.
