Woman's Brains.

An English writer has been making
invrstig cations with regard to the rela-
tive size uf the human brain in men
and i'll women. He finds that from a
physiological point of view, the male
brain has the advantage in size Of
about ~ per cent. But this il largely
dependent upon the general physical
size. Tall men have. on the avera go.
bigger brains than short men, but il
has come TO b. understood that tall
men are not the smarter on that ac-
count The average height Of cele-
brated men is under the average
height of population generally. Wo-
man has more brain in proportion to
her height than has man But this
writer whom We are quoting says that
the smaller animal always has the
larger brain. We cite from him on
this point as follows: IA cat has much
more brain than a tiger: a mouse
three times as much as a rat: q terrier
SIX times as much as a Newfoundland:
a baby has. in proportion to its weight.
ave times as much brain as his father.
while little man is. on the average.
more richly provided than a tall one.
Simple comparison of brain weight
with body weight is, therefore quite
inadmissible: for which relief the
male sex owes its thanks" He reaches
the conclusion that brain size gives
man no advantage over woman. de-
