COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.
Meeting of the Delegation w n .
Will Represent Los Angeles.

Meeting of the Delegation Wh0
Will Represent Los Angeles.
The following gentlemen met in the
rooms of the Chamber OF Commerce yes
terday afternoon: Myrick Reynolds,
General John R. Briefly, Hervey Lind
ley, II. q. Osborne, Major, E. w. Jones,
Judge John Haynes, General John R.
Mathews and s. w. Luitweiler. These
constitute the regular delegation to the
Commercial Convention, which will meet
in San Francisco on the goth, and most
of the alternates.
The purpose Of the meeting was that
those who we're to attend the convention
might talk over the various matters which
would come up in the plan of discussion
which had been outlined beforehand.
These include the subsidy of mail steam
ship routes to China and South America,
the building of the Nicaragua canal, the
conditions of the Interstate Commerce
law, which work injustice to the Coast,
and other matters bearing on the COM
mercial interests of the State.
These questions were discussed by the
members OF the delegation with reference
to their bearing in this part of the State.
Objections have been made in certain
quarters that the matters which will come
before the convention will be largely
those that will have an importance in
the business affairs of San Francisco, but
will not cut much figure here. The
delegation propose as far as possible to
give these questions an application to
this part of the State, and to start others
which will have more specific bearing
ON Los Angeles. The National Arid
Land Commission will be present at the
convention as we'll as the entire Con-
gressional delegation of California, and
the question of whether there ought not
to be large appropriation by the Govern
ment for the improvement of some har-
bor between here and San Diego. will
probably be agitated as one OF consider
able interest to the State.

Brain Weights.

The average weight Of the brain
il men is q ounces. ani in women
some four or five ounces less, the
human organ being absolutely heav-
ier than TINT of any of the lower an
imals except the elephant and whale,
with brains Of ten and Eve pounds
respectively, AS c rule, mental
capacity and the siz4 Of the brain
quite closely spond; and it has
beer observed that q brain weight Of
less than SO ounces in an adult per
son is always accompanied by de-,
fective intellect. The rule has its
exceptions, however, notable one
being that Of Gambetta, the small
weight Of whose brain 0ess than Al
ounces IS attracting the attention of
French anthropologists. a cons
trastin5 case las recently been fur
niehed in an idiot with a brain Of IS
ounces. Familiar great brains are
those OF CUrvier and Webster, each
exceeding 81 ounces; Of DR.. Aber~
crombie, 6i ounces and of Davpre-
ten. G35 ounces. Dcscagtes, Ra
phael and Voltarie had small heads,
while that Of Napoleon was only
slig htly above the average. and that
Of Schiller not at all. The lightest
brain on record weighed eight Oun,
ces, and belonged to an IDIOT boy
and that Of an idios woman weighed
ten ounces, The average BRAIN of
Englishmen is 40 ounces; that Of
Frenchmen little over 45; that Of
Dutch, Italians, Swedes and Lapps
come nearer the English, while the
German brain Is heavier, In India
the weight is from 4 l to IA ounces ;
in Africa AS; and in America 4G.
