A BRAIN ASSOCIATION. "

A society has been formed at Cor
nell, Ithica, n. Y, in Connection with
the University there, with the object
of securing the brains of educated peo-
pie for dissection and study. The
classes of brains usually obtained for
scientific purposes are those of Grim
inal, ignorant, or abnormal subjects,
and it is urged that it would be an
immense advantage to anthropological
students if a variety of brains of SUI
perior kind could be obtained, includ-
ing those of men who had been emil
nent in different walks-in science, lit
erature art, etc. The members of this
society, who are all drawn from edu-
Gated circles, fill up and sign form
bequeathing their brains after death
to the Cornell Brain Association for
scientific uses, dissection or preserva-
ton in whole or part, as may be
thought best. By this means, it is ex-
pected, a valuable collection of typ
zeal and remarkable human brains will
gradually be formed in the museum of
the University. 1t is understood that
if friends of deceased persons who
have thus disposed of their brains OBJ
ject to such disposition, the claims of
the society will not be pressed.

South American Planters Can Stand

The American Grocer, reviewing the

The American Grocer, reviewing the
coffee situation says:
"The crop of 1S96-97 is a demonstra-
ton OF the extent to which a period
of high prices has stimulated produc-
ton. The area devoted to coffee has
been rapidly extended in Brazil, in
Central America, United States Of Co
lombia, Venezuela and Mexico. COT
fee growing is profitable industry
when coffee sells in New York at prices
for No. Rio. At the prices Of the
past five years planters have been re-
ceiving enormous profits.
at is apparent that we have entered
a period of low cost. A decline has
taken place of over sc per pound in
the cost of Brazil sorts, and the ques-
ton is whether this fall in the price
has fully discounted a supply largely
in excess of the worlds requirements.
The answer will be found in the esti-
mated outturn of the 1898 crop. If
that is up to or above the average sup
ply, then there is a chance for lower
prices. If the next crop is to be light
in Brazil, it would seem as if the pres
ent basis was near bottom.
'sMessrs. W. H. Crossman & Bro. es-
innate an enormous crop In Brazil for
1867, viz, total export of not less
than 5000, 000 bags. This is total far
beyond the yearly average for seven
years, ending June 80, 1896, of 5,657, 1856
bags (932,781 tons). In 1892 Brazil
exported 1851 bags, and it is GER
tainly not unreasonable to estimate
that the exports from the largest yield
on record should exceed the shipments
of 1892 to the extent OF 733, 900 bags.
Brazil has furnished 81 per cent of the
worlds supply. On that basis the
crops of 1867 will aggregate 1854
800 bags. The estimate for the total
crops is 100000 bags, based on a
minimum Brazil yield of 5000, 600 and
5000, Geo for other countries, or about
SOC, 900 bags above the average crops
of the past three years.

THE GREAT FISH"

The following is of interest in itself
as setting forth what strange scenes are
witnessed by those who go down to the
sea in ships, and because of its bearing
on question that in former times was
much discussed in theological circles.
Under a mistaken rendering it used
to be held that it was asserted in the
Bible that a whale swallowed Jonah
and the familiar contention of skepti-
cism was that the throat of whale
would not admit the body of a man
But that whale may have been the
great fish" of the disputed narrative
has later been demonstrated by such
an incident, by no means exceptional
as has recent publication in Nature
A Mr.. Bullen writes that when cruising
in the Strait of Malacca, between the
Nicobars and the Malay Peninsula, he
saw in the night by moonlight, at dis
lance something under a mile, very
large sperm whale engaged in deadly
conflict with a monstrous sQuid, whose
long arms enveloped "the whales
whole body" like "a nest of mighty
serpents'' The head raised itself half
out of the squid, which appeared
about the size of one of our largest
which held 336 gallons" The
ink-black eyes were about foot in di-
ameter Around the combatants were
smaller whales or immense sharks, evil

CHINESE TO MAKE WINE.

The Northern Pacific liner Tacoma,
which arrived today from Hongkong
and Yokohama, brought news that a
Chinese syndicate intends to open at
once in northern China a large estab-
Iishment for the production of wine
The vine has long been grown in that
country, but only with a view to pro-
ducing grapes for the table. Attempts
were so successful that the syndicate
referred to applied to the Chinese gov
eminent for monopoly for the pro-
duction of wine from grapes.
An Austrian expert has recently vi
sited the wine-producing districts of
northern China and describes the quail
ity of the grapes grown there as excel
lent Baron Max Won Babe, son Of the
late director of the Austrian Pomolo-
gical Institute, has been appointed
director of the new establishment in
China and is now on his way to that
country.
An increasing quantity of wine is
consumed in China by the Chinese
officials and the growing European set

THE ATTACK ON THE NORTH
POLE.

The North Pole can hardly escape
being sighted, if not caught hold of,
soon now. There is hansen determin-
ed to renew his nearly successful at
tempt to reach it; there is Andree still
resolved to get blown to it in bal
loon; there is a Glasgow inventor pre-
pairing to fly to it in a wonderful aerial
machine; and now we have added to
these a Frenchman, who proposes to
sail to it under the ice in a submarine
boat. M. Pence, as this protector is
named, has noted the facts that in the
higher ATTITUDES Nansen found no shall
low soundings, and that here and there
breaks in the recovering occur. He
proposes to dive this side of the great
ice barrier, come up to breathe at some
of the intervening open pools, and
finally emerge where he hopes to find
the pole awaiting him. There are Ger
tainly some difficulties in the way of
this scheme, and the protector himself
admits that one preliminary to it's sue
cess is the construction of a submarine
boat superior to anything of the kind
that has yet been turned out.

IDENTIFY aiding the sperm whale. The
writings gradually ceased, the arms
slipped off the whales body, which
seemed to float unusually high, and
the struggle was ended. On another
occasion a dying sperm whale elected
masses bitten or torn off in blocks,
which were about six or eight feet long
and six feet thick, from the body of a
squid. From another sperm whale, a
number of squid were taken, the largest
of which was six feet long, exclusive
of the head. This whale lives princi
pally on squid, but the stomach of one
near New Zealand contained a large
quantity of long fishes including blue
and red rock cod, gropers, barracuda
and seabream.

''The above shows the steady nature
of the worlds requirements, which is
subject to other than crop influences.
Hard times and high cost cut down
the demand. With a return to pros
perity, the United States should in
crease it's consumption of coffee at
least 400 900 bags. Last year the de-
liveries fell below 1894-95 here and in
Europe, but to slight extent" This
shows the fairness of the estimate Of
requirements, viz, IL 100000 bags, ''to
meet which there is an estimated sup
ply of 14,000,000 bags" '"The
outlook for the 1898 crop is favor
able for a full average yield. If it
should duplicate the supply of 1867,
we cannot see how 1T can fail to foster
and maintain an era of cheap coffee.
There is certainly no basis in sight up
on which to carry forward a bull cam
paign. We have arrived at a time
when it is fairly safe to carry liberal
stocks, and the lower prices go the
safer the operation of buying freely"

THE WORLDS GOLD FIELDS

1t is claimed that the largest gold
deposits in the world are in the Trans
vaal Republic. Within Is miles of
johannesburg, on what is called the
main reef series, there is an amount of
gold practically in sight estimated to
be worth $3,500,000,00O, or nearly as
much as the entire volume of gold coin
now in the world. 1t is reported on
good authority that the gold deposits,
instead of being 80 miles 1ong-the re-
gion in Sights practically 1,200 miles
long, except that in the rest Of the re-
gion later deposits have come in over
the gold.
