twill be otinterestto the general read
er as well as to the Psychologist, to learn
some facts that were developed by the
cephalic autopsy, or pot mortem examina-
tion OF the head Of DR.. LeMoyne. The
object Of the investigation was to ascer-
tain whether the disease (diabetes) from
which he died, was produced by any at-
lection Of the brain. The substance Of
the brain was found to be in perfect health.
The only abnormal condition was little
sac OF fluid, quite small, in each OF the
lateral ventricles, and not sufficient to
create any disturbance in the organ ITSELF
The circumference OF the head, Just above
the ears was 235 inches. From the mid.
die OF the opening OF the ear across the
top Of the head to the same point on the
opposite side, was Is. 75 inches. The form

mental powers, should have had q brain
which weighed only 4S ounces, or one
ounce less than that OF the average woman.
II the qualities Of the mind are derived
from the qualities ot the brain rather than
the quantity, then we can understand why
he exhibited superior intellectual ability.
It was observed that the external conyoln.
tons OF the brain were remarkable for
their unusual number and consequent
fineness. Possibly the extended surface
afforded by these conyolutions may have
been compensation for the lack Of size
in thevolume Of the brain itself. These
are questions, however, which interest
the psychologist and psychologist more
than the general reader. N

The Clarksburg and Weston narrow
ruee cost Sl32, 900, the distance being %
miles, which is only 5000 per mile The
pad is invaluable to the section Of eonn-
g through which itpasses, and the frst
hais Of the enterprise are already being
rapel by the farmers in the shape OF bet
tr prices for their grain. Weston and
LAWS county could not afford to dispense
With that road for twice what it cost.
People often wonder, after they have
secured great public benefit like this,
hOUithappened that long before they had
notPOperly appreciated its sadvantagesand
aniled themselves OF them. Rome, how
eref was not bailtin one day, and every
part Of the country is not imbasti
with the same public spirit, nor with
the same ability to take hold Of
and utilize It's natural resources.
WsEe, however, gradually getting start
inthe matter oI railroad development in
West Va. We have necessarily to have
al immense deal of agitation before much
comes it. Our people move very slowly,
but finally they move. We have high
hopes that some day before'long the peo.
PIE along the shore between here and
Petersburg will move earnestly in favor
Of railroad. The great difficulty ist
get the project we'll started in the public
mind. While nine out of ten intelligent
people agree that there is an urgent neces-
fty for such a road, yet they have not
worked themselves up to the point of agl.
htiug it zealously among their neighbors.
This agitation Is now the first thing inor.
der, We hope its friends down the river
will put the ball vigorously in motion.
