From the Medical Record.
DR.. Joseph Simms in the December Po puldr Science
Monthlv Arranges in one table the names of sixty re-
nowned men drawn from different parts of the earth
whose brains varied in weight from II TO 40 ounces.
Another table gives the brain weights of I25 persons
of ordinary or weak minds. idiots and criminals.
whose brains we're on the whole larger than those OF
the sixty before mentioned. About - or 10 per cent.
of men examined in asylums registered a brain
weight Of more than So ounces, while those of Daniel
Webster. Lord Byron, Bacon. Gen. Skobelen and OF
many other renowned men were between 53.6 and
30 ounces. The average brain weight of the sixty
famous men was found to be less than the estimate
brain weight OF all men. and the ten most weiRhty
brains in the list of famous men averaged more than
o ounces less than those of the ten heaviest belong
ing to the idiotic, criminal and ordinary class.
The writer then proceeds to demoltsh several other
long-held bel iefs. The fallaciousness OF the theory
that the external dimensions and shape Of the head
are n criterion of the size and shape of the encepha-
lon is demonstrated By some notable examples TO
the contrary. and it Ia asserted in explanation or
these facts that the skull and brain are developed
independently. DR.. Simms also denies that many
and larIe convolutions of the brain exert any In
huence on intellectual capacity. but holds that such
| occurrences arc merely accidental. and that a high
degree of intelligence may appear in either kind OF
brain. Next, the theory that the degree of mental
capacity depends upon tn amount of gray matter
in the hemispheros is declared to b. untenable, and
Daniel Webster is again brought forward as an in
stance in point. his brain containing gray matter to
the depth Of only one-sixteenth of an inch. while
the brains of negroes. murderers and persons of a
| low type in almost every case had a far thicker layer
of Rru, matter. Lastly, the collected facts diKproved
at least to DR.. simms's satisfacton-the theory
that cultivation OF the intellect gives shape and size
to the brain within. thus affecting to a somewhat
similar extent the skull without.

1t seems to me that Mrs. Quantrcll's word is
better authority on this than Mr.. Hinton's.
Quantrell was not driven out of Missouri by
Sterling Price. Douglass and Cooper. He
marched with Price from Lexington to the
Usage River. There he asked to be permitted
to take his III back into the State. He
owed 40 allegiance TO Price, AS his command
was an independent one. Gen. Raines was in
command 4 of the division. He consented reluc-
family for Quantreil to go back. SO did Price.
and both wished him every success. and Price
said as Quantrell rode away that he was a
brave man and the most superb horseman he
ever saw.
Mr.. Hinton says Quantrcll was driven out by
Price, Douglass and Cooper.
The Secretary Of War in Richmond refused
to issue n commission to Quantrell after the
first year of the war, or as soon as the Rich
mond Government learned what Quantrell
wanted.
,Ouantrell went to Richmond in 1852 and
asked to be Reconnaissance as Colonel, not
Colonel, as Mr.. Hinton nlys. under
the Partisan Ranger act. The Confederate
Secretary heard Quantrells plea. 1t was a
dramati incident. But the Confederate Sec

To THE EDIToE OF The SUN-Sir: CORE
spondent Of THE SUN sets forth certain theo-
retical reasons why college women ought to
oppose woman suffrage. There are some prac-
teal reasons why college women who expect to
be teachers should favor it.
In Massachusetts the average pay OF male
teachers is Sl44.S0 per month: OF female
teachers. S52.20. In Boston the average pay of
male teachers is S257. 10; of female teachers.
S79.33.
In Wyoming. where women vote. it has for
many years been the law that men and women
in the employ OF the State shall receive equal
pay for equal work. In Utah two years ago the
news that full suffrage had, been granted to
ment that the Titan Legislature. had passed a
bill by which female teachers in the public
schools were to receive the same pay as male
teachers. provided they held certificates OF the
same grade.

bSAN W ASA
To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: II Is with
some difldence that I venture to question an
assertion OF Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper Tin her
article Of Feb. 20 relative to the ACCESSIBILITY OF
equal suffrage in tho South. for / know that
she is considered an authority upon the sui
fragc side. Yet when any one. an authority or
otherwise. makes the statement that, III the
white women in the Southern States possessed
the ballot, their number would Offset the votes
OF negro men and women combined, 1t seems
necessary to set forth. in reply, the actual
statistics upon the subject.
As every one knows. the Southern States do
not vote as a section. but as separate States.
Therefore. even II, by adding up all the white
population Of the entire group south OF Mason
ana Dixon's line. II was found to be double. or
treble. or a dozen times as great as the negro
population (which was probably the method
Mrs. Harper used, that does not at all affect
the States which. separately. have a colored
population equal TO. or preponderant over, their
white population. 1 beg to submit these fig
ures relating to seven Southern Gates, which
speak for themselves. They are found in the
World Almanac for 1899:
