Weipht of the Human Brain

Lately M. Paul Topinard has reviewed
the researches of Broca regarding the
weight of the brain in the human species.
The figures obtained by Broca and the
author appear to indicate that excessive
weight is no prima-facie evidence of
great intellectually. Even the ponder
Gus brain of Cuvier, which weighed l.
800 grammes, is considered to be due in
no small degree to the well-attested
presence of hydrOcephalus during the
infancy of the great naturalist. The
mean weight Of the brain of men is l.
1925 grammes, and of women 1,142
grammes, the greatest weight among
the former being attained generally be-
tween the ages Of 80 and IS. and among
the latter at somewhat earlier period.
After the age of 81 the diminution is
very rapid, and the loss at the age OF
80 reached from 100 to 250 grammes.-
These figures must, however, be accept
ed with great caution. Most of the OBJ
servations were made on the heads Of
persons who had died in hospitals, and
who were presumably more or less at
fected with brain disease. There are
no existing tables determining the differ
ence of the weight of the brain among
mentally sound persons belonging to the
two distinct classes of those engaged in
intellectual pursuits and those who OBJ
tain living by manual labor.

Recuperative Power of the Cypress Tree

In the southern swamps the decidu-
Gus cypress sends up knobs from its
roots, like straw beehives, apparently
to air them by keeping part above wa
ter. We have tree OF that variety on
our lawn-a sandy loan, where water
never comes except when it rains-that
continues to push up its round knobs as
if it was growing in the Dismal Swamp
in Virginia. Perhaps another peculiari-
ty of the cypress may be new to some of
our readers. After transplanting.
grew up beautiful cone, until it reach
ed about forty feet in height. when a
storm of sleet and wind broke off about
one-third of its length, leaving five of
the remaining limbs of equal length
six to nine feet-standing round at an
angle of forty-iive degrees. Its beauty
being destroyed, only waited for con-
venient opportunity to remove it; but |
soon observed that one of the five long
limbs was turned up and taking the
place of the missing top. After its erect
position was assumed it grew three feet
to its fellows one, and the tree is now
as straight and symmetrical cone as
before its accident, without crook bend
or enlargement at the place of fracture.
/ have noticed two sprigs Of one years
growth on evergreens turn up in this
way, but did not suppose a limb seven
or eight feet long, with many side
limbs, and five or six years old, would
act in the same way. When the leaves
arc down, you can see where the break
was made, by the upper limb being
more slender and the bark smooth.

A Mansion in Pompeii.

One enters through long vestibule.
on each side of which are several shops,
not connected with the house. From
the vestibule, with its mosaic pavement,
one is admitted into large, square
place, called the atrium, which has a
roof over it, with square hole about
eight feet in the center. In the floor,
under the hole, is square marble basin,
of the same size. called the iinpluvium.
1t has on one side pretty marble foun-
tain. and water was always playing in
the basin; besides. during rain. the
water also dripped into the impluvium.
This atrium formed the chief source of
light to the front portion of the house,
rs they never had windows opening on
the street.
On each side of the atrium are two or
three little rooms not more than six feet
square. The walls are covered with
frescOes, and the floors are of fine mo-
safes. The ceiling, which has all fallen
in, was of stone, built on the principle
Of the arch, and covered with stucco and
frescoes. It seemed queer that they
should have such small bedrooms, but
the POmpeians seemed to care little
about their sleeping apartments, rs they
passed the most of their time in the for
um or larger rooms of their own house.
The room contained bed, and that
seemed to be all. The walls, against
which the beds were placed, are cut
away little, thus allowing the bed to
be little longer than the room. These
bedrooms each had a door, with
grating over it. to admit the light from
the atrium. The sockets in which the
doors swing are still to be seen in the
marble threshold.
Back of the atrium is large, square
room separating it from the peristilum.
called the tablinum. 1t has mosaic
pavement and fine frescOes on the walls.
The use of this room was to receive peO-
pie who had business with the owner.
On each side of the atrium, next to the
sleeping-rOOms, are two wings or ala,
also with mosaics and frescoes. Back
Of the tablinum is the peristilum, q COW
cred court similar to the atrium. only
that the roof is supported by tall col
umns. A marble basin is in the center.
Around this peristilum are small bed
rooms also, and on one side, through a
small passage, is the kitchen. a small
yet well-arranged apartment. The
most prominent objects are the two
large serpents painted on the walls, as
the serpent is the protector of the cook
ing department.
The STOVES were always of brick, and
had several small places for charcoal,
over which the kettles were placed. In
the lower part is place to store the
coal. On the opposite side of the room
is brick sink. Going back through
the passage, we 60 into the peristiium
again and through room at the back
Of the peristilum, similar to the tablin-
um, arriving in large court surround
ed by columns so rs to form a portico.
In the center of this garden were trees
and plants, as has been proved by
means of the carbonized roots of vege-
table matter. The entire building has
walls on every side. and the only en-
trance is through the front door. Such
u building is but an example of an Or
binary DWELLING house.

Fashion Notes.

White muslin dresses are embroidered
all over both bodice and skirt.
Rcdingotes require the broad-brim-
med Directoire hats to be in keeping.
Spotted foulard neckties of dark COL
or, with the dots in contrast, are worn
with morning toilets.
Laces, dyed in all the fashionable
shades of colors, are seen upon costly
imported bonnets and round hats.
Pink is color that promises to rage
this season in every grade of dress goods.
There are so many shades of this pOpu-
lar hue that every taste can be stud
led. ..
For evening, feather tips arranged in
the hair and upon the corsage. fastened
in place by diamond pins or brooches,
are worn with full-dress toilets.
Crinoline grows in favor with English
women, but meets with no success with
Parisians. American ladies content
themselves with very small tournures.
"Crushed-strawber red and rasp-

for the bingham dresses worn by brun-
cites. They are trimmed with white
embroidered muslin.
