A Study of Brains.

And now a scientist stands ready to
prove to US that the weight of the
brain bears little or no relation to the
ability of it's possessor. The brains OF
two idiots weighed respectively ST.
and 59.5 ounces, while those of Gam
BETA weighed less than that of the
average boy of {. A weak-minded
man had a brain weighing 1O.5, while
a dwarfed Indian squaw possessed one
of 1906 ounces.
To the present generation these state
ments may be more or less matters of
indifference, but the writer of this par
agraph remembers when one of the
greatest arguments used against the
higher education of women was based
on the fact that their brains weighed
less than those of men A brain of
little weight was not considered worth
cultivating. Its very lightness proved
it to be unequal to the physical task of
acquiring knowledge mastered by men
whose brains weighed more. 1t was
like expecting puny muscles to perform
feats accomplished by athletic giants.
These arguments were considered un-
answerable in their day. Every skep-
teal and fortunate young man quoted
them to every ambitious and nampered
young woman. They meant, alas, the
self-depreciation OF many a woman
who gave UP the struggle. And posi-
bly, it was just because the valiant pro-
motors of higher education made no
attempt to answer them, but went quiz
city and silently to work along the
lines of their own beliefs, doing with
out argument the things which their
opponents were arguing so ably against,
that women Of to-day enjoy manifold
privileges denied their elders. Every
thing and nothing can be proved by ar
gument; the unanswerable fact lies
alone in accomplishment
The heaviest brains are. found in cold
northern countries, the highest average
is obtained in Scotland, so that between
the weight of the brain and the ques-
ton of nationality very decided rela-
ton may be said to exist. The little
woman in the "Grandissimes," in her
invariab1e argument, may have been
right the chief cause for difference in
brains lying where she in her pretty
speech placed the cause for every
change of social condition-in de eli

PRESSURE FOR
PAPER MONEY.
Demand for Gold Certificates Ex.
ceeds That of Any
Previous Period.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The pres
sure for circulating paper money
which has accompanied the in
crease OF business activity has
been brought home in torcible
manner to Secretary Gage by the
character of the demand for gold
certificates. Never before in the
financial history of the country
have the issues of small gold GER
tificates been even half so large
as within the last three months.
The total issues of certificates
from August 5 to October 21, 80,
were $129,259,419. 1t is the pre-
ference for certificates of the de-
nomination of 500 which has in
dicated the pressure for paper
currency.
The issue of certificates for $40
from August 5 to October 81 we're
$39,576,464, while the issues for
$1,000 were $24,774,5OO. The
number of the small certificates
is about eighty times the number
of those for $1,000. The largest
amount of certificates for $40 out
standing at the close of any pre-
vious fiscal year was in 1891,
when the amount was $14,221,-
TIA. The issues of certificates
for $40 on the latter date we're
only 11,953.474. The present
volume of small issues surpasses,
therefore, by more than three
times all previous conditions, ex-
cept on one occasion, when the
proportion was much less than
half.

where they met the most kind
hospitality during their short
stay in Lancaster, during which
time the weather continued very
inclement. Every body was high

her people who are given to hos
pitality, and hope to have the
pleasure Of being there again on
similar occasion. We failed to

When the sun entered Libra,
twenty six degrees of Aries were

thermore, this position suggested
more craft than integrity in hand
ling railroad and trust earnings,
and gave significant warning to
people to keep an eager and a
curious eye upon their own in
terests. If possible this prognos-
tication was emphasized by Sa-
turn and Neptune both casting a
sinister square aspect to Mercury.
The moon was posted IN the tenth
house in the sign Taurus, and re-
ceived the opposition of Jupiter
and the trine (l2O degrees) of
Mercury, which positions are sug-

the sun CROSSED the line" and en-.
tered the zodical sign Libra. The
autumnal equinox forms one of
the cardinal points which have
been the subject of astronomical
observation from the earliest
time','because of their relation to
the change of the seasons. Such
pregnant Celestial points as the
two equinoxes, which mark the
four cardinal positions of the
sums apparent annual circuit
round the heavens, have always
formed favorite basis on which to
ground the vaticlnations of learn
I'd astrologers. BY erecting a fig
ure of the heavens for the mo-
ment of the suns ingress into
these four salient points, star
philosophers have not hesitated
to forecast changes and events,
war or pestilence, cyclones or
earthquakes likely to befall. And
candor compels the admission
that many of these scientific
warnings have been only too
tragically verified.
The astrological figure of the
equinox Is constructed for the
latitude and longitude of the seat
government, and if, as in the
present equinox, a fixed sign, like
Leo, ascend thereat, the planeta-
ry aspects Of the minute are be.
lieved to remain in force during
the three succeeding months. The
present autumnal equinox is
fraught with the most protentous
significance. 1t fills the horizon
with omens Of pending calamity,
