Medical men are debating the rec ently published conclusions of Dr. William Urownlng on the subject of the crime center of the human bmlu. It was stntod by Dr. Browning that although n person has no "bump" for crime. In (lie same way that he mi'.y have a "bump" for music or mntlie mntles, tho sent of the moral' sense (the sense which helps us to dis tinguish between right nnd wrong) Is not in one of the glniulo, as lots always been supposed, but In the right frontal lobe of the brain. Ever since the days of the great Greek physician, Hippocrates, scien tists have been trying to discover the location o' mnn's moral center. So far, however, we have hnd to be con tent with the knowledge that the stru'e tiue of the head of the criminal has mnrked features, such as a low fore head, ears situated below the level of the eyes, ntid so on. The Importance of the new dis covery lies In the fnct that It may enable crime to lie cured by surgical operations. London Tit-UIts. AND ALWAYS MARKETABLE Miss Homely: Beauty's but a fad- Ing flower.

Explanation. Using the birth of Our Lord f a Mnrtlng point for counting time did not become genernl until the Chris tian religion bad made considerable progress. Some confusion arises from overlooking the fact that the ancient nations had their own systems nnd their own starting points, For In vtuncc, tlie Ilomnns counted from the founding of their city, Koine, nnd when Our Lord was born It was tlie year 75.T according to Itomnn chronol ogy. Having tnken the year In which Our Lord was born ns the starting point of tlie new or Christian chronol ogy, the years preceding that starting point could only be counted us years before Christ and the farther you go hnck Into the past the greater their number, -Just ns the greater the num ber the farther you come down from the starting point towards the pres ent. There is nothing confining In this, and the same principle Is ap plied on . any through railway time table. A transcontinental time-table counts distances from u terminal both ways, one way east and the other way west. In our chronology the year of the birth of Our Lord Is thp starting point, nnd the years nre counted botli ways those thot had pnssed before thnt event nnd those thnt have passed since thnt event. This pystem Is, of course, In use only In Christian countries. The Jews be gin to count from the creation, and there is no counting backwards be cause it Is Impossible to go back of that event. USED SYSTEM- OF HIS OWN Professor Refused to Allow Proper Spelling to Weigh at All Heavily Upon Him. Of course "enough" spells "nuff" and yet "calf" is' not spelled "caugh." School boys, seasoned business men, not to mention school teachers, often find the spelling of the English lan guage a bit troublesome. But here Is a one-time university professor and now eminent scientist who not only admits that spelling "gets him rattled," but goes bo far as to Invent his own form of spelling, which exactly follows out the sound of the word. Hence we find such sentences as these In a recently Issued volume by the anthropological department of the university museum: "Hlz hair wuz stll black." "The jtwo ritings when they wer don, Ov course wer not nllke." "Some paragrafs ov biz-own wer tlropt."

It Is being lined in a test of he ilondrograph. un apparatus for recording tlie growtli of n tree.

A closer look reveals that there tiro no animals or birds, although some thing thnt looks somewhat tike n bird home Is attached to a bracket at one Mde.

Thu Dendograph in Pojltlon. collar arrangement Is in contact with tlie trunk of tho tree nt only two points. The instrument was Installed before growth started. It gives n continu ous record of nil changes in volume In the trunk of the tree. It records these changes with extreme accur acy. Having been satisfactorily Installed, the dendograph needs no further ad justment, or, In fnct, attention of any sort, excepting thut once a week tho clockwork must be wound and n ngw tecord sheet placed on the recording cylinder.
