Male Versus Female Brains.

Leaving the physical side, e,let us now
compare the mental calibre of the two
sexes. The first argument always
brought out by the medical profession
is the priori one derived from brain
weight. A woman's brain weighs less
than mans brain. therefore, T. 70
argued, she must be inferior to him in
mental power. In the first place how
ever, it is yet by no means certain
that large brain is superior to all
smaller brains. Brain. power depends
authorities tell US. first. upon quality;
secondly. upon activity; thirdly,upon
size. The man who possessed the
heaviest brain yet weighed was an
American blacksmith, who does not
seem to have been otherwise remarka-
bic. even for tho excellence OF his iron
work. however, admitting that it the
quality and activity be equal, a largo
brain is superior to small one, it is
still uncertain whether or not women
possess smaller brains than men in
proportion to their size. When VIC
consider how much OF the brain is oc.
cuDied in controlling muscular move
ments, it is obvious that the larger
animal needs tho larger brain to
exert the same mental power
than tho smaller animal. How much
less, II any, the female brains weighs
in proportion to size, has never yet
been calculated. Even the average
weight of the female brain itself is not
exactly known, as every experimenter
gives q different result. Parchappa
estimates that the proportion of the
female to the male brain il 900 to
1000. Surely the difference of stat
ure would allow difference of weight
greater than this? Other inou,rers
give different figures. One cf tho best
known tables is that quoted by Pro.
lessor Huxley in his "Man's Place in
Nature" where the result seems ad-
verse to feminine pretensions. Al
lowance must. however, DO made
for the following considerations.
In the case of men a
larger number OF brains were weighed.
amongst which were included the
brains of many celebrated me,,. spe-
cially collected for this object. The
women's brains were much fewer in
number, taken from thelowest source.
and did not include .he brain of one
woman OF distinction. A comparison
Of such material is obviously unfair.
Yet amongst the female brains the
heaviest brain known to science up to
that time was discovered. 1t weighed
several erammes moro than the brain
Of Culver. Since that time, however.
though great pains have been taken
to ascertain the brain. svejui,t nf COLA
brated men, not one record exists of
the brain weight Ct famous women.
The brain of George Eliot was special-
ly remarkable. The following passage
occurs in her Life: "Mr. Bray, the en-
thusiastic believer in nphrenology. was
TO much struck with the grand pro.
portions Of hsr head that he took
Marian Evans up to London to have
cast taken. He thinks that, after,
that OF Napoleon. her head showed
the largest development, from brow
to ear. of any lerson's secorded."-

hanging loose down her back. So quick
was the action OF the hair thief that she had
