WEIGHT OF THE HUMAN BRAIN
Chinese Take the Lead With an Average of
 50 1-2 Ounces.

Chinese Take the Lead With an Average of
 50 1-2 Ounces.
 According to Dr.. Bischoff, of Bonn, who has made extensive investigation on this subject. the average weight of the male brain is 4s ounces and the fe- male 43 ounces. The maximum Is fixed at Ct ounces and the minimum S1. In cases of idiocy it has been found weigh ing only 20 ounces. Broca places the lowest limit of brain weight compati- ble with human intelligence at 80 ounces. BiSchof also weighed the brains of ten cultivated and celebrated men, some of which he found to be be- low the average, while none reached the maximum. The brains of 119 or dinary offenders weighed II grammes more than the average. Rroca com pared 115 skulls taken from a vault closed up not later than the twelfth century with another series of 125 skulls taken from Q cemetery belong ing to the earlier years of the present century, and found the average ca pacity to be 1,426 and 1,462 grammes, showing considerable gain during seven centuries of progress i've civilization. As to the actual weight of the brains of eminent men, full statistics are not obtainable Talk ing individual cases, some 2Ss in num- Der, Cuvier, the naturalist, heads the list, with 641S ounces, but if size. or weight is an indication of greatness, it is difficult to account for the fact that the brain of Leon Gambekta, one. of the greatest Frenchmen of, the time, weighed a trifie less than. 3a ounces. The brain of a mulatto, who died at Cincinnati some years ago, was found to weigh 61 ounces The heayiest brain on record, which weighed or ounees, according to Dr. Norris was that of a bricklayer, who "had . good memory and was fond of politics. but could neither read nor write. 50, that. what ever his potentialities, hia-aactual ,ac. quirements were not greAk"AaIt may occasion surprise to know that tho sta. tistics of Chinese brain-waiRhtR show them to exceed all other nations In this respect. The average brAin-weiRht oi the males reached b0& ounces, and that of the females 45N ounces. This is ap average not attained. %, far as yet known, by any other nation. 1t being fully ounces above that of the average negro and 1H ounces above the Euro, pea0.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

 PHnADEI.rHA, April 18.-Philipi Catons of this city has been given a further hear ing by United States Commissioner Ed munds on the charge of perjury in certify ing before United States Inspector of Immigratian Conkllng in New York that ten Italian immigrants were not contract laborers when he had himself engaged them in Italy.
 These men arrived on the steamship Brit tania, March 1S. One of the men, Domi- nico Barbato made an affidavit that two months before he received a letter from Catone, in which he said he had spoken to the railroad boss and told Barbato to come over and bring twelve or fifteen men; also, that they would recieve $1.2 .26 day.
 They came over in response to this letter and considered themselves nnder contract All the men knew the contents of the let ter. Catone denied that he had engaged the men. The Commissioners held him in a, 900 bail to answer at the May term of the United States Court in New York.

FEARS are expressed that the Colum- bian exposition will not be ready for the formal ceremonies of the opening day on the first of May. Such has been the case with all Worlds fairs. When the day of opening came some of the build ings were not completed, and many ex- hibits were not arranged. But such trifles have not made it necessary to postpone the opening ceremonies. In Chicago there has been some excuse for the failure to have the exposition all complete for the appointed day of open ing. As the exposition buildings ex- ceed in extent and magnificence every thing that has yet been done on either side of the ocean in the way of Worlds fairs, little delay in their construction has been unavoidable. Yet the early visitors in May will find abundant ob. jects of interest, even If pile of shay ings may be seen here and there. In fact, the attractions in every depart. ment will be so great that the most in. dustrious will hardly be able to obtain more than a very superficial view oi them, unless they they should go early and stay late. To very many of the guests at Chicago, especially to the nu merous visitors from all parts oi Europe, it will be cause of regret anG disappointment if the gates of the ex position shonld close on Sunday, 1T obedience to the dictate of Sabbatariar bi0otrv.

DESTRUCTION IN OTHER STATES

YxsilaDti Was Visited by the High Wind

 Town Wiped Out-several Tatalities--
 The storm i'm New York.
 DETROIT, April 13.-The cyclone which caused so much destruction in Missouri, Kansas and Iowa on Tuesday has worked eastward, and yesterday caused much damage in States east of the Mississippi. Scattering reports are coming in continu- ally from towns and cities in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee and other States. These reports are brought in from the country over railroads to the larger places, from which they are telegraphed if wires happen to be still up.
 The tornado struck Ypsilanti, Washtenaw county, at 7:30 o'clock, and caused heavy damage in the business section by demol- ishing almost all the buildings and several residences As far as eau be ascer- tained at present nobody was killed, but quite a number of persons received injuries more or less serious.
 It is impossible to get any news direct from the town, as all telegraph and tele- phone wires are down.
 Ypsilanti is pretty little city of about 5000 people, situated about 30 miles from here and 8 miles from Ann Arbor: It is on the main line of the Michigan Central rail road. Situated there are the large State Normal school, having about 500 stud ents, and the Cleary Business college, hay ing about 400 students.
 Royal Oak, a small town, 10 or 12 miles from Detroit, on the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee railroad, had touch of the storm. Railroad men on incoming trains report that they were delayed near there by cars being blown from the tracks Whether any damage was suffered is not known.
 EVANSVILLE, Ind, April 13.-A storn at Rockport blew down the Honig Block The failing walls crushed the grocery store of H. Frank, burying Frank and his wife rious injury but it is feared that his wife was fatally hurt
 VICKsBURG, Miss, April 13.--The entir, town of Robinsonville Coahoma county has been swept away by the cyclone. Al the stores were set on fire. Several negroes and perhaps some whites are buried in tht ruins. The depot was completely destroyed and the night operators wife killed. A col ored child was also killed. Only tw, houses are left standing.

, IT is rather grim coincidence that right in the midst of the excitement over the Harris case in New York another physician is brought into the same court to be tried for identically the same crime. Carlyle Harris is a young physician, while Dr Buchanan is an older one. The former poisoned his young wife to conceal his marriage and come into possession of an inheritance from which a mesalliance might cut him off; while Dr Buchanan is accused of poisoning his wife that he might get her money and marry again. The use of poisons as a fine art bids fair to play an even greater prominence in this case than it did in that of the one that is closed, and the public interest in it is quite as absorbing. Meanwhile the prevalence of wife poisoning is not going to help young Harris in his inter cession for executive clemency.

Unnatural Spelling.

The movement toward n radical re- form in English orthography is hardly perceptiblO to the people in general, yet in certain quarters vigorous and persis- tent efforts are being made to bring about a system of spelling based upon what would seem to be common-sense grounds The moro recent lexicog- raphers show. Q marked tendency toward such reform, and the newer dictionaries contain strong evidences of growing sentiment in favor of phonetic methods. In reference to the inconsistencies of the common system of spelling the Rambler in the National Baptist cites few freaks" and says:
 ''It seems & not unnatural inference growing out of our vicious spelling, that since our spelling is unnatural, therefore every unnatural spelling must be correct according to the current usage. The Rambler is unable on any other ground to account for such freaks as the use of 'cheque' in place of the plain, straightforward, honest check Probably some very erudite scholar thought that the word must have some connection with the French tex chequer.' and so he adopted the vicious termination, which obscures the fact that the word originally meant Q check upon mistakes or fraud in accounts; an item is checked off. .s
 Another Illustration of the mislead- ing character of our alleged spelling is found in ,.comptroller,' which is pro tnounced controller, md is properly spelled according to its pronunciation | in Pennsylvania; but over in New York they spell 1t comp Probably some wiseacre introduced this vicious spelling, thinking that the word was derived
 from the French compton, In reality, \ it Is derived from the Latin contra,
 against. A person goes down list oi items and checks them off, making a
 mark against each one; this man is a
 controller tnot n comptroller.)
 Our system of spelling is very large ly an effort of perverted nature to do a
 plain and common thing in way re
 moved from common sense Since the
 common people are sometimes wrong
 It must needs be that they are always
 wrong; and. in order to be right, we must vary from common usage and com mon sense"
