ELECTRIC {"High Brows and Brains Dr. Hrdlicke Holds Height Is No Gauge of Intelli- gence After Study of Eskimo Skulls and Bones. Colored Laborer Has Higher Forehead Than American W hite. BY THOMAS R. HENRY, High brows don't necessarily signify ains. br This conclusion is stressed by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of physical an- thropology at the National Museum, in a report just made to the Bureau of American Ethnology on measurements of hundreds of Eskimo skulls and other bones in an effort to determine the characteristic physical type of a people whose bodles have withstood for hun- dreds of generations the extremost rigors of envircnment. If “brains” and height of forehead were directly related, Dr. Hrdlicka points out, the Eskimo would be intel- lectually superior to the white man. But, he continues, “anthropometric studies have shown repeatedly that the height of the forehead is not a safe | gauge of intelligence, as commonly able height of the hair line. The com- mon full-blooded American colored la- borer and servant has a slightly higher forehead than the educated old Amer- ican white.” ‘The height of the brow of the West- ern Eskimo man, his tables show, atout a quarter of a centimeter higher than the average for old American males. The Eskimo woman has exactly the same skull height as her American sister. The entire skull of the Eskimo man, however, is abcut the same size as | that of the old American man—this term signifying whites whose familios | have lived in the United States for several generations and which Dr. Hrdlicka believes are developing into a distinct racial unit. The Eskimo wom- an, however, has absolutely a bigger head than the white woman. Her face is broader than that of the male. Temporal Lobe Buiges. A curious difference shown by the skull examinations is that the region mn | front of the top of the ear, just over the temporal lobe of the brain, often :s remarkably full in the Eskimo so that it seems to buige out—and consequently | widens the brow. This probably has a | significance not yet understood, says Dr. | Hrdlicka, since little is known of the functions of the temporal lobe except for a *mall area where the sense of hearing is located. Almost all Eskimo women, Dr. Hrd- licka found, have broad faces, compared with their own men and with white women, and he believes this is a aRISTMAS GREETING CARDS ressed voith the 'rfi:r{ry and distine- ion of wzewom{ engraving have an JZIJM{'M“ and cordiality.

The average Eskimo face, he found, is about 12 per cent greater than the average white face in relation to stature, Chests Exceptionally Large. The Eskimo, Dr. Hrdlicka points out, has an_exceptionaily large chest, which apparently has been developed in his present environment and may have elped greatly in survival. to the white old Americans,” he says, “the chest is deeper in the males and broader in the females, notwithstanding the fact that the Americans are much taller. It is even larger than in many Indian tribes. It may be aseribed in the main to the Eskimo's occupations | and exertions, particularly in connec- tion with the canoe.” Although the Eskimo's’ respiration rate and temperature are close to those of the whites, Dr. Hrdlicka reports, his pulse rate is very low and he is con- siderably below the white average on dynamometric tests. The pulse seldom goes above 60, while the white average is more than 70. tests measuring the grip are considered of special importance because they de- ! termine not only the strength of the hand muscles but of the conscious im- pulsc behind them, originating in_the brain—hence they are often - used in physiological examinations. While inferior to the white man, the Eskimo's grip compares favorably with the Americen Indlans. to whom, Dr. Hrdlicka believes, he is a fairly close relative. The brain does not seem to be tied up so well with the hands. Nose Narrower in North. Dr. Hrdlicka found that the further northward the skulls he measured came from the narrower became the noses, although there was clear evidence that a4 narTow nose was not an ancient Es- The dynamometric | STAR, WASHINGTON, kimo inheritance. ‘Finally he found the narrowest of all human noses—a re- markable example, he believes, of an mtm adapting itsell to environ- ment. “There appears,” he suys, “only one potent factor that could influence this development, and that increases south te morth, namely, cold. A nar- rowing of the aperture can readily be understood as a protective development for the throat and organs of respira- tion. It 1s not easy to see how the boney structures respond to the effects of cold and heat, but they do, particu- larly when these are aggravated by moisture. Perhaps the normal varia- tion with the elimination of the less fit_are the main agencies.” The skull measurements, considered in relation to the distribution of the skulls themselves, have convinced Dr. Hrdlicka that the Eskimo people origi- nated considerably further to the south in Asia, where their racial differentia- tion had begun when they came to North America. As they have spread, he holds, the differences in environment have produced all the diversity of physi- cal types found among them. .

C, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1930, LIGHTNING IS TAMED TO STUDY WILD BOLTS | newsstana. 10,000 Artificial Strokes Made to Hit Forty-Mile Stretch. CROTON DAM, Mich. (#)—Ten thousand strokes of lightning—artificial but monetheless powerful—have hit a 40-mile stretch of power line near here. This number is one season's work, recently completed, which is being card- indexed for use in determining better methods of protection against wild lightning. ‘The “tame” lightning overcomes the one greatest difficulty in guarding against “wild” lightning—the lack of opportunity to study the bolts bscause the wild stuff strikes so rarely. where it wanted. On the 40-mile stretch near here en- gineers would consider themselves lucky if they obtained three or four wild lightning hits in a Summer. The studies are conducted jointly by the General Electric Co. and th: Michi- gan Consumers Power Co., the latter supplying experimental r lines and the former a portable lightning gener- ator.
