At Loast That Is tbe) Conclusion ot Dr. KeU Kvosr. From the New York Sun. After an eVbntiatlve examln.itlon ef tha causa that determine the size and -welirht of newly born Children Hr. Bela Itevan comes to the conclusion that heredity haa nothing to do with it The size of the child depends entirely Bpon the ae of the mother, he thinks, and the older she Is the bigger and stronger the uhild la likely to be. regardless of the Mtature and strength either of the parents ior grandparents. Speaking .generally, he finds that the children of very yoiine- mothers are like ly to be small and 111 nurtured, while those born to women more than 26 are j ant to be large and robust. He consld- ers the reason very simple, the woman of 25 hefng fully matured, ao that o nourishment la expended upon her de velopment. From fills prislrlon the doctor at tempts to explain the racial character istics of vaiioua peoples. Thus the geandinavlaus, who mak late mar riages, have maintained high stature and" robtaaf physique. .- On the other hand In th south of France and In southern Jtaly very young girls nre given In marriage, and In consequence the race haa dwindled In height and frame and even In energy and Initiative. Hebrews in Poland are a conspicuous example of the evil of early motherhood. Tiie doctor thinks that the same prin ciple may account for the smallness of the Japanese, and he is sure It does, for the degeneracy of the Hindus. It causes the average height and build of cltv people to be inferior to that of peasants, and It tends to cause physical retrogression In the leisure- class, wherein girls marry young, aa com pared with the class of workers, in which the young women have to take up trades or domestic service for aev ernl years before they can marry.
