THE IOWA RAILROAD LAW.
Letter OF Mr.. Riddle to Governor Car

Letter OF Mr.. Riddle to Governor Car
penter-An Experimental Submixsion
to the Law Decided On.
CHICAGO, July I, 1874.
Hugh Riddle, Superintendent OF the Chicago and
Rock Island Railroad, has written long letter to
Governor Carpenter, OF Iowa, in regard to the Rail-
road law Of that State, in which, after reviewing
the law at some length he says, "While this COM
pany denies the justice and constirutonahty Of the
Railroad act it is disposed to subject it to the
test OF an actual experiment before assailing
it in Court. Schedules have been ar
ranged in conformity with the provision for the
points in the state OF Iowa. The officers OF the
company, however, are trustees charged with the
10 such manner as to secure the revenue necessary
for the payment Of operating expenses, reason
upon the bonds while engaged In the experiment
OF operating that portion OF the road in Iowa, in
accordance with the schedule named In the act.
1t ID their duty to so adjust the rates applicable
to interstate commerce as to secure from the
entire business Of the company the revenue to
which 1t Is entitled.
RFLExIBLE SCHEDULES
have uniformly been iound impracticable. and we
tion Of this road in conformity with this act win
accord with the principles which govern COM
merce, or that the result viii be satisfactory
either to the owners OF the railroad or to the
people OF the State.
1t is hoped, however, that some practical
OF an actual experiment: 1t may contribute some
thing toward either confirming or dlspelling the
new theories In regard to transportation and
bringing about better understanding OF the
principles which should govern the relations ex-
issing between the owners OF railroad property and
the public. If the actual experiment shall show
that the continued observance Of these schedules
Will not result in
TOTAL OR PARTIAL CONPIsCATIoN,
1t may not be necessary to raise any question as to
the validity Of the act but II the result shall show
that such an observance must involve permanent
surrender OF the revenues to which the cOmpaQy
IS entitled from the operation OF its lines, diff
ferent policy viii be adopted. with the view OF
securing such revenue and any attempt to enforce
the act as a valid law Will be resisted in the
rrib ala

Brain Weight of Different Races.

An eminent German professor once
assumed that, as a certain size and mass
of brain is essential for the exercise of
the mental faculties, therefore all the
human race must be furnished with an
equal amount of brains. This truly
Teutonic theory has since, however,
been cffectually dissipated. An elabo-
rate paper was read not very long ago
before the Royal Society of England, IN
which the existing evidence as TO the
weight of brain among different nations
was analysed. The average brain weight
for the English is stated to be 1850
ounces for the French, 44.58; for the
Germans, 1888 but there are discrep-
ancies In the results of different OBJ
servers, some giving greater average
than this to the Germans. The Italians,
Lapps, Swedes, Frisans, aud Dutch
come into the category with the En-
glish. Among the Aslatic races, the
Vedahs of Ceylon and the Hindoos give
mean of over IL ounces. The
skulls of Mussulmans afford a slightly
increased average of brain weight over
those of the Hindoos. Two skulls of
male Khonds-one of the unquestioned
aboriginal races of India-show a brain
weight of only 37.S7 ounces. The gen.
eral average of the Asiatic table shows
a diminution of more than two ounces
when compared with Europeans. The
general mean of African races is less
than that of European races, although
there are great differences the Caffre
rising high, and the Bushman sinking
low in the scale. The average of the
whole of the aboriginal American races
reaches 44.73 ounces, which is 2.14
ounces less than that of the European
races. The Australian races show
a brain weight one-ninth less than
that of the general average of Euro
peans. The Malays and others OF the
Oceanic races, who migrated boldly, for
commercial purposes, over the North
and Sonth Pacific Ocean, and occupy
the islands, show tolerably high aver
age of brain weight and, on arriving at
this section, we return in some measure
to the large braign weight of Euro
peans.

A Dog Carries the Mail once Week.
Mr.. j. Prosser, says a Minnesota
paper, lives at Lake of Two Woods,
Dakota, twelve miles west of the Min
nesota Inc. Several settlers live near
him, and, as they have no regular mail
service, letters and papers are carried be-
tween the Two Woods settlement and
Captain Herrick's," at the State line,
by private enterprise. This service has
for some time been performed by dog
belonging to Mr.. Prosser. The mail is
placed In small sack, and tied about
the dogs neck, when he is told to ego"
and he goes-never once having failed
to reach his destination without delay.
Captain Herrick overhauls the mail,
gives the shaggy mail carrier a good
dinner, and places the Two Woods mail
about his neck, when he is again away
on the return trip. There is 10 more
faithful carrier in Uncle Sans service
than "Curley" has proven himself to
be. While performing his duty it is
impossible for man or beast approach
him.
Captain Herrick once met him on the
road and endeavored to relieve him of
his burden, but Curley was off like a
shot, never once hating until he had
arrived at the Captains own door. One
day last week Mr.. Prosser came to Mar
shall with load of furs, and brought
Curley with him. We were favored
with call from the noble animal and
his master, and, with several others,
listened with interest to the facts here
narrated. Curley is fine-looking dog,
rather larger than medium size, has
long, curly hair, well-shaped head, a
gooa-natured eye, and is of the breed
commonly called spaniels. He was
much pleased at receiving so much at
tention, and seemed to understand all
that was being said about him.
