Edward Atkinson, the economist, writes as fol- lows in the last number of Seience: Last spring I received a letter from an English gentleman who {8 interested in antaropology and biology, asking me if there were any facts to sus- tain the impression abroad that the white man is deteriorating tn size, weight, and condition in the United States. I had no positive information of my own to give, and I could only refer my corres. pondent to the data of tne measurement of soldiers, and to some other investigations of less impor. tance. It occurred to me, however, that, since by far the greater partof themenof this country are clad in ready-made clothing, the experience of the clothiers might be valuable, and that, from their Agures of the average sizes of the garments pared by them for men’s use, very clear deductiong could be made as to the average size of the Am can man, T therefore sent a letter to two clothlers in Bos. ton who have been long in the business, one in Chicayo, one in New York, one in Baltimore, one in Detroit, one in Texas, and one in Montreal.’ The {information received in return 1s to this effect: In any given thousand garments the average of all the returns 1s as follows: Chest me: 38 inches; Waist, 333g inches; length of leg inside, 32% incnes; average height ranging from 5 feet is to 5 feet 9 In New England, up to 5 feet 10 for tue average at the South and West.

With the ald of the dogs the animal was dis- lodged from its hiding place and started off amid a shower of bullets, making Ite escape. A score of hunters have been ‘scouring the woods all day in search of the monster. ‘The Ugly Box Overcoat. From the New York Sun.
