"           SKULLS FITS THE BRAIN.

Special-Cable to The Washington Post.

     Vienna, July 16.–"Although not all the causes that operate the formation of the human head are known at the present time, yet we do know that one of the principal factors in the skull formation is the development of the brain itself," said Prof. Tandler in a lecture on musicians' skulls delivered before the Vienna Medical Association.

     To put it plainly, he continued, every person has the skull that fits his or her brain. Therefore, when we discuss musical heads, we must first consider musical brains.

     There is no doubt, said Prof. Tandler, that musicians' brain are more than normally developed in the region just over the upper temple, and this development invariably causes a corresponding protuberance in that part of the bony skull. As examples, the professor gave details of his obesrvations [sic] on the formations of the skulls of Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, and other well-known composers." (*).

Scientist Announces What He Claims to Be Discovery.
