In a recent paper before a scientific
society abroad Prof. o. G. Marsh, the
New Haven paleontologist, made the
remarkable statement that the size OF
the brain in the extinct animals de-
cided the condition Of the survival or
failure in the race struggle. Those OF
the same class who had the largest
brains were most successful Ia the race
of life. This confirms, fit needed con.
firmation. the natural law of the sur
viyal of the fittest 10 the extent that
the fittest to survive IN the great
struggles Of nature are those who have
the most brain power. 1t Is not so
