her only child. Mother and daughter
had toiIed together for fifteen years,
and the only bit OF sunshine falling
into their dark lives was that shed by
their living companlonship. But the
girl had always been sickly. Under the
heart-broken mothers eyes she had
faded and wasted away with consump-

kneaded by being passed between iron
rollers number of times, and it is then
taken to table, where it is made into
short cylinders four or FIVE inches in
thickness and containing from eight to
ten pounds of material each
Four of these cylinders are placed in
a strong iron resort which has change
able nozzle so that the size of the PEN
ellis may be regulated In the retort the
material is subjected to great hydraulic
pressure and is thus pushed through the
nozzle in the shape of long cord As
the cord comes through the nozzle it
passes over knife and is cut into the
desired lengths The lengths are laid
on boards to dry and are then placed on
sheets of corrugated zinc, the corrugation

THE WEIGHT OF BRAINS.

Some interesting facts bearing on
the size and weight of the brain we're
given recently by Sir William Turner.
In the case of Europeans the average
brain weight is from 40 ounces to
so ounces in man, and from A ounces
to 45 ounces in woman. It is inter
esting to note that even in newborn
children the boys have bigger heads
and heavier brains than the girls. The
brains of a number of men of ability
and intellectual distinction have
been weighed, and ascertained to be
from 55 ounces to 60 ounces. In a few
exceptional cases, as in the brains of
Cuvier and Dr. Abercrombie, the
weight has been more than so ounces,
but it should also be stated that
brains weighing 60 ounces and upward
have occasionally been obtained from
persons who have shown no sign of
intellectual eminence.
On the other hand, it has been
pointed out that if the brain falls be-
low certain weight it can not prop
erly discharge it's functions. This
minimum weight for civilized people
experts have placed at 81 ounces for
men and 80 for women-Pub1ic
