BRAIN WORK AND SKULL WORK.
The London Medical Record sums
mp as follows the results of some very
interesting measurements of heads by
two French ply sicians, Messrs. Lacas.
sagne and Cliquet: q
Having the patients, doctors, attend
ants, and of1icers of the Val de Grace
at their zdisposal, they measured the
hesds Of 190 doctors of medicine, 133
soldiers who had received an slement-
ary ihstruefion;. 90 who. could neither
read nor write, and 81 soldiers who
were prisoners. The instrument used
was the same which hatters employ in
nAesuripg the heads OF their custom
ers it is called a conformator,i and
gives very correct idea Of the pro-
portions and dimentions of the head
IN question. The results were in favor
of the doctors; the frontal diameter
was also much more considerable than
that Of the soldiers, etc. Nor are both
halves of the head symmetrically de-
veloped in students the left frontal
region is more developed than the
right; in illiterate individuals the
right occipital region is larger than the
left. The authors have derived the
conclusions from their ex-
periments l. The heads of students
who have worked much with their
brains are much more developed than
those of illiterate individuals, or such
as have allowed their brains to remain
inactive. 2, In students the frontal
region is more developed than the oc-
cipital region, or, if there should be
any difference in favor of the latter, it
is very small while in illiterate peo-
pie the latter region is the largest.

THE old adage running to the effect
that fortunes grow out of pennies, was
tolerably well exemplified in a matter
that came under our notice recently.
During the summer OF 1860 resident
Of this city drew considerable amount
Of money out of . savings bank, leay-
ing on deposit q balance of Al cents,
although, had he waited three or four
days longer, he would have found his
account credited with an additional $6
representing interest. One day last
week he was overhauling some papers
and came across the long neglected
pass book. A friend who was present
jokingly purchased the book for 81
from its possessor; who hastily figured
MP the amount - now amounting to
$l.5Q But when the friend allowed
him to repurchase the book at tri-
Aing advance because the books of the
bank showed that $29.75 was the exact
amount to which he was entitled, his
establishment may be better imagined
than described.-[Ex.

To make shoe pegs enough for
American use consumes annually
100000 cords of timber, and to make
our lucifer matches 100000 cubic feet
Of the best pine are required every
year. Lasts aad boot-trees take 5OO,-
600 cords Of bircb, beech and maple,and
the handles of tools 100000 more.
The baking of our bricks consumes
100000 cords of wood, or what
would cover with forests about $1,000
acres of land. Telegraph poles ale
ready up represent SOO,0 900 trees, and
their annual repairs consune SOC. 600
more. The ties of our railroads com
sumo annually thirty years growth of
5000 acres, and to fence all OUT rail-
roads would cost $45. .O00.O 600. with Q
yearly expenditure of $15, 600 900 for
repairs. These are. some Of the ways
In which American forests are going.
There are others. Our packing boxes,
for instance. cost in 1874, SIS, 600 600,
while the timber used each year in
making wagons and agricultural inn
plements 10 valued at more than $780,
100000.

the process, an exchange says:
The machinery, which Is the inyen-

three parts; compressing pump, q
condenser and . refrigerator. Aqua

into the refrigerator, which is sepa-
rate close chamber about fourteen feet
square. The refrigerator itself is an
enormous machine, consisting of eight
coils, each 800 feet in length of contin.

gigantic cylinder nine feet and six
inches in diameter. In these coils ol

thus swept of every day.

OPENING OF THE NORTHEAST
PASSAGE

=
PASSAGE.
Another great geographical problem
has been settled by the successful pass
age Of Professor Nordenskjold's expe-
dition through the Arctic Sea to the
north of Siberia. This expedition,
which has thus crowned with success
full accomplishment the belief of Prof.
Nordenskjold that a route to Asia
might be found on the north of Siberia
sailed from Gothenburg, July 4, 1878,
and arrived at Port Dixon, near the
mouth Of the Yenizei, August 6. This
part Of the course had already. been
proved to be passable at 'midsummer
BY Professor NorkeDskjold's previous
expeditions. The next important
achievement was the rounding of the
north cape of Asia, feat never before
accomplished, and on the 9th the ex-
pedition reached the mouth Of the
Lena. Here the two vessels parted
company, the little steamer bearing
the name of the Lena ascending that
river, the Vegs proceeding eastward,
hoping to reach Behring's Straight be-
fore the autumn ice drifts should bar
tho passage. In this Professor Nor
denskjold was disappointed, for the
Vega became ice bound when within
forty miles Of East Cape, and was
obliged to spend the winter there.
It IL safe to anticipate . considerable
addition to our knowledge of the Si-
berisn seas when the result of Profess
or Nordenskjold's observations are
made public the plucky explorer has
won nsme that will rank with those
Of the greatest navigators; but there
are grave reasons for doubling the
fuldllment of his hopes of making
known . practical commercial route
the Arctic Sea from Europe
to Asia. The season of open water
along the Siberian coast is to brief and
uncertain, and the risks are too great,
to tempt many to undertake the north
erp passage. Notwithstanding the saw.

The Commissioners of Internal Rev.
enue has prepared statement of COLI
lections of internal revenue taxes for
she year ending June 30th, 1879, from
which We select the following: -
The six New England States paid !:
c15nseticat %sinsis ss 81 sscds sss siIasdirs
Massachnsetts 2.4ss.5s7 Vermont. 5O.i56
Total ................................ s3.54O.74s
The four central States paid:
Ohio .se6552 Illinois. $19. 40. 607
Indiana .-.... 5.74O.l00 Kentucky.... 7.564.e64
It viii be seen that the whole six
New England States do not pay as
much internal revenue taxes as,the
single State of Indiana, nor half as
much as the State OF Kentucky alone.
If representation in Congress was &C.
cording to internal revenue taxation,
the six New England States would
have ten members only, instead of the
tscenty-eight they now have. The six
New England States, while not paying
the one-fourteenth as much internal
revenue taxes as do the four central
States named,s nor having one-half
their population, have tsoelve United
States Senators to their eight. That
is according to State rights, which de-
clare that each State shall be entitled
to two members Of the United States
Senate, and that no State, without its
consent, shall be deprived of its equal
suffrage in the Senate. We appre.
hend that, while the New England
States will neither increase their pop.
ulation nor their contribution in'the
way of taxes to the Government, they
will cling to that State rightwith the
tenacity Of the miser to his gold.-En-
