Last week in Edinburgh, Dr. Parnell told the British Association for the Advancement of Science that he thought he had the answer.

The formula: using the metric system, divide a man's height by the cube root of his weight; multiply the result by the diameter of his heart (measured by X ray), and multiply again by his leg length.

Last week Presbyterian Macdonald, 36, now pastor of Edinburgh's St. George's West Church, told Americans how to clean up the kind of corrosion he has found outside the Isle of Skye.
