DAILY WATCH BIG RED BALL The medical Importance of anthro-lMilogy is ju.it beginning to be appreciated, nut only from the theoretical sitle, but also practically In treatment, says American Medicine. it is less than a generation ago that textbooks implied or even taught that the differences between the various races of men were meaningless freaks of nature. The great, wakening of biologyof Itself a recent affair has dona much to popularize the law that every characteristic- has an offensive or use for which it was de-veiopeii and is rarely useless and still les rarely harmful. It is, therefore, iu order to apply the law to man and find out what racial differences have developed; why some are ta.l, others short; some stocky, others 1 rail some black, others blonde; some with kinky hair, otners with straight. The solution Of these problems cannot he expected in the near future, but enough has been done to warrant the assertion that some know.edi;e of physical anthropology is an important part of a physician's education, tor IT is at least of practical importance.

To tlm physiologist it is essential, fui It throws a Hood of light upon the uses of tissues and organs which vary so greatly from race to race. It is uo longer an academic study left to some old man who has nothing better to do. If it is learned why a certain characteristics has developed iu a certain environment, it is known that new Immigrants not possessed of that means of defense must adopt a substitute or suffer In health. In recommending changes of climate it might be possible to select that one win is appropriate for that patient. The hygienic results would also be of vital Importance.

In every sense, ihe new study is so important that the time is not so distant when It will be not only a part of a liberal education, but an essential preliminary for the study of medicine. The study of man has too long been neglected by the students of men. The effects of the different American climates upon European settlers ar a vast unexplored field, which upon Investigation may yield knowieJge ot great importance. Only here and there and at infrequent intervals have there been any attempts to explain the disappearance of certain American families. Occasionally there is a study of a small group of emigrants and their children, but comparatively little is known of the ultimate result residence in this continent.

It niusf be remembered that over 50 per and perhaps 60 per of Americans have lived here only two generations, and that there is scarcely time to tell what is happening to them. In similar migrations to climates like those in the United States it is known that certain typed always disappear. There is good evidence that identical phenomena are taking place here, though so slowly that they hav been unnoticed. If it is true, It should be investigated and a careful record made of the types of families whi fade and the diseases or conditions which were the ultimate causes of their disappearance. The subject is one which deserves far more attention than has been given to it.

Like the study of anthropology, so long neglected, it might reveal facts of practical importance to hygiene and therapentlcs. The personal reminiscences of family physicians have thus a practical value, and such academic investigations may mean the preservation of families otherwise doomed to extinction.

Township Range Great music is a psychical storm, agitating to unimaginable depth the m.vit.ery of the past within us, sayn Lafcadio Hearu. Or we might say it is a produgious incantation, every different instrument and voice making separate appeal to different billions of prenatal memories. There are tonej that call up all the ghosts of youth and joy and tendencies there are tones that evoke all phantom pain of perished passion there are tones that resurrect all dead sensations of ma jesty and might and glory all expired exultations all forgotten magnanimities.

Well, may the influence of music seem inexplicable to the man who idly dreams that his life began less than a hundred years ago! But the mystery lightens for whomsoever learns that the substance of self Is older than the sun. He finds that music is a Necro mancy; he feels that to every ripple of melody, to every billow of harmouy, there answers within him out of the Sea of Death and Birth some eddying immeasurable of ancient pleasure and pain. Pleasure and pain: they commingle always in great music, and therefore it'is that music can move us more profoundly than the voice of ocean or thin any other voice can do. But In music's larger utterance, it is ever the sorrow that makes the undertone, the surf mutter of the Sea of Soul. Strange to think how vast the sum of joy and woe that must have been experienced before the sense of music could evolve in the brain of xomr Mr.

It is watching the big red ball which every noon makes a quick and sensational slide down a pole 30 feet high on top of the Masonic temple. Every day two or three minutes before noon the shining globe is hoisted to the top of the pole, and on the stroke of 12 drops.

At the same minute the hands of 100 or more watches in the city hall are switched to indicate exact midday. It has been only since the old county building was razed that the workers in the city hall could see the time ball on the skyscraper nearly three blocks away. Now department heads, stenographers, clerks and chemists all Ihrough the city building engage daily in watching the ball's performance Banker Hartley is employing his spare moments in converting the old base ball diamond south of the Runneals' residence, into a lawn tennis court, that is he is bossing the job while his wife, little son and the Runneals children are doing the work.

In Texas, where people do surprising and original things, the institution of marriage after probation has been introduced, says the New York Jrail. The thing was started by a rich farmer, who advertised for a wife, but specified that the applicant should serve as his housekeeper for a certain length of time in order that he should have a chance to prove her ability and temper. It happened that the farmer was satisfied with his first applicant and married the lady after a brief period of housekeeping probation. It is to be hoped that the pair will live happy ever after.

But the real tact is that their "probation" began only after they were married. Marriage ii an institution for wihch success in mere housekeeping is no test It all. An excellent housekeeper may make a very poor wife and a good employer does not always make a jood husband. 1080 acres; 600 of it alfalfa land-60 in alfalfa; 400 acres of wheat land, 500 bearing fruit trees, 8-room house, barns, sheds, land fenced and cross fenced, fine irrigating ditch on the property.
