Big and Little Heads.

According to writer in .he English
Journal Of Science, the theory respect.
ing intellectual heads which DR.. Gilbert,
physician to Queen Elizabeth, was the
first to suggest, is not born out by facts.
The popular notion has been that men
Of great intellectual powers have large
and massive heads. An examination of
busts, pictures, medallions, intaglios,
ETC., Of the worlds famous celebrities
almost tends the other way. In the ear
lier paintings, 1t is true. men are dstin-
guished by their large heads, but this is
attributed to the painters, who agreed
with the general opinion, and misled to
hatter their sitters. Instances are cited
of great Intellectual power Of men with
small heads. Contrary to the popular
notion, there may be great men without
big heads; in other words, Geneva
watch is capable Of keeping as good time
ss an eightday clock
