A curious difference in the increase in
brain weight Of boys and girls is noted by
a professor of the Chicago University,
who has just written a book on the
Growth of the Brain Boys and girls
start equally in this respect, and until
they arrive at the age of twelve years
the progress in this reepect is about equal.
allowance. of course, being made for the
difference in body weight between the
two sexes. After twelve the girl shoots
ahead CT the boy and her brain grows more
rapidly. until she reaclies the age Of fif-
teen. when the brain growth practically
stops, whereas, in the case of boys, it con-
tinueis to increase IN weight until the age
of twenty-five. These statistics may con-
tain some hints for the new woman" in
the development Of her theories In the
opinion of DR.. Donaldson brain weight is
not, however. any true measure of edu>
cation or of intelligence. and he attaches
Importance to the frequently cited brain
weights of eminent persons. It is, never
tleless. a fact that the Brains Of more in
tellectual people. relatively TO their body
weight are heavier than those of less in
tellectual people,5St. Louis Posf-Dispatch.

TRIAL OF THE FOOL SELLERS

John B.. Collins, the well known pool
seller, and his associates. Charles Wilson
and William Duffy, are being tried in the
General Sessions Court this afternoon
for maintaining a pool room ON West
Newark avenue. This is the room which
was raided by Deputy Sheriff Joh J..
Erwin and Constables Mccormack and
Henry. They went to Harrison on March
IS to look for the place, but found it
closed. A man on the lookout asked
them if they wanted to make a bet and
when Erwin said they did, he gave them
a card directing them to Scott's saloon
in West Newark avenue. They went
there and found the pool room in full
blast with Collins in charge. The case
was still on at recess.
