AMERICANS ARE GROWING UP
tor n and Women tllKtrrr ot Body
and Limb nnd Decidedly
Chesty
That Americana are growing taller,
bigger or. body snd stronger, Is shown
by . statistics assembled from colleges
and universities In this country. These
statistics show larger and better devel
oped girls, as well as young men, and
figures of the War department from the
time nl the Civil war tc.ll the same story
of Its volunteers and recrul t s
Especially valuable records have been
kept slnw 1S70 at Amherst college, where
the students are mostly New RnRlander
and sons of men, who, fn their earlier
days, attended the same Institution; so
that the comparison Is one applying dt
rcHly to the native American type.
Prior to 184 the average height of the
students of 1 ycare was CC.8 inches, be
tween 1900 nnd IMS it .had risen to 68.3
Inches. Students 21 years old ot the
earlier generation averaged 67.5 inches In
height; those ot later, years stood Cft.3
Inches. The weight was uniformly
greatoc, too.
The height of women students from 19
to 31 years old nt suci colleges as Ober
lln and Wellealey, ranged from 62.8 to
62.7 prior to 1KC. The girls ' only l&H
years old at such colleges as Smith and
Mt. Holypke. had by 1903 come up to 63.S
Inches,- while their chests had expanded
an Inch and more.
Prof. Paul C. Phillips, .In charge, ot the
Physical education at' Amherst said In
contrasting the generations that It could
be shown by tes,ts that the average wero
stronger than those of a quarter of 'a
century ago.
Dr. Henry O. Beyer, the United States
army surgeon, said that definite In
crease of one Inch or moro beyond what
is normally to be looked for may be
gained In height by properly systematized
exercise between the ages of 18 and 20
years.
, Prof. R. Talt MeKensle. ot the Unl-
Verslty ot Pennsylvania, attributed the
gairr to the popularity of physical exer
cise, but he pointed out tho fact that.
In the development of a people a type
wan at length produced, arid after that
Increase in slue was much more dlfflcut
to attain.
The student classes here are bigger and
better developed' than the English and
pretty close to tho top In . size, strength
arid physical efficiency. The Americans'
closest rivals are tho Swedes, who also
arc an athletic people-New Tork Times.

prbUng, man's ago," It Is not. Young
men do great work nowadays and al
havo and -always, will. But one does not
often see them at the head of, the finan
cial or educational or, JUerary world. .
After so-called- "mlddlo age" most of
the World's great men have. done their
best work. Hero Is one or two Instances-,
Darwin, author'of "Origin of Species,"
written at the age of 50 years.
' .Immanuel Kant, writer of "Critique of
Pure Reason," nt the age of 67.
Herbert Spencer made a rough outline
of his "Sympathetic Philosophy" when
40 years old. wrote "Principles ot Psy
chology," when 52 years did, 'and "Ju.
tlce" at-71 years.' .'
f -Richard 1 Svainief accomplished- moro
aftcf the as df 60 than 'before. '.The
entire "Nlebulungcn Ring"' appeared
when h was 60 years old, and "Parsifal"
was written when he was 64 years old.
Haydnt composed "The Creatoi". at 61
years, of age, tend 'The, Seasons' some
years later.
phrtstopher Cplumbus was 56 years old
when he discovered America.
Goethe did most bf'hls literary work
after he had reached 63 years. Probably
l is greatest work was "Faust," , the sec
ond part of which was written when ha
was 0 years old. ' y,
Among others ho did brilliant work
between the ages ot 40 and 70 were Humboldt,-
Lord Kelvin, Faraday and John
Fluke.
jAs an example ot wonderful physical
aotuty mere js none who is better fitted
to be ranked among the greatest of
Americans than the aged pedestraln, Ed
ward Payson Weston, who has scored
most of his wonderful 'walking records
since he .was 60, Toledo Blade.
Fire in "Wardrobe"
Burns Its Contents
W, L. Davis, foreman .of the establish
ment, was painfully burned, nnd damage
to the extent ot several, hundred dollars
was inflicted on "The Wardrobe," tho
dry cleaning department oftythe Eagle
laundry, yesterday by a .gasoline fire.
The compartment 'was of concrete con
struction and ouly the contents were de
stroyed, prlnclpallyclothlng in the process
of cleaning.
Davjo was in an adjoining compartment
when he heard a heavy explosion. Ha
rushed into tho compartment, although It
was filled with flame, and attempted to
save some of the clothing, and was badly
burned before he could get out. He was
taken to the Edmundson hospital by
direction of Dr. Moth, city Physician. Ill
burns were found to be extensive but.
superficial. His. condition later in the
afternoon was i-eported to be very fav
orable. Mr. Davis lives with his wife
and family on the second' floor of the
building, 711 Broadway.
The causo of the expltrtlon is unknown
The utmost precaution Is taken and no
fire Is ever permitted about the place
When the firemen arrived all of the gar
ments In the, room had been rtduced to
cuarcoai, a oiemicai stream extinguished
the flames.
While the street traffic was blocked by
lines of hose and street cars had collected
on both tracks, a horse hitched to a
small delivery wagon belonging to tho
Iowa Fruit company, broke away at
Broadway' and Benton streets and after
running a dozen, blocks pluhgcd Into the
maze ot vehicle collected by tho fire.
The fire chiefs buggy was struck and
overturned and two other' light wagons
wrecked. In responding to the alarm tlo
ventilating fan on No. 3 auto fire truck
became loose and was driven into the
back ot the radiator, putting'tHe car out
of commission for several hours.

HOCia-Beeelpts were light for a Fri
day, only fifty-nine loads, or 3,800 head,
being received. For the five days the
total- I 37,416, a shortage of over 1.0M
hrad, 4s compared with a week ago, but
2,000 heavier than a year ago,
The market opened In good shape thl
morning, earjy bids looking to be around
a nickel higher. Sellers were asking
a 10c advance, and during the early hours
the trade was rather dull, as packers
tried hard to put up their droves at the
prices offered early, but In the end they
were forced to compromise, and when the
supply began to move values were a
big nickel, and In many cases as much as
MflOc better than yesterday's average.
Trade was more or 1cm slow all through,
but the light supply was cleaned Up In
fair season.
Mont of the sales were around 38.40.
with a few down around 38.35, snd a
sprinkling up to 38.45. The trade ha
been fairly satisfactory to the selling
Interests during the Ust couple of days,
but the advance registered fall to make
up for the big decline of the earlier part
of the week, and price are still around
a dime lower than at the close of last
week.
