---------------- IGHI HEI HEAVY,

The womans brain says MT Alex ander Sutherland in the Nineteenth Century, is always less than the mans.
 Whether the observations be made in England, France, or Germany the re- suits are quite unaffected. From
 Boyd's figures we can pick out 1o2 men
 and 113 women between GA and 66 inches in height, averaging close on 65 inches for each group. But the brains of the
 men average 469 ounces, while those of
 the women are only 41.9, which gives
 the men an advantage of 12 per cent.
 There are 21 small men whose height l averages 62 inches, and there are 1855
 women of the same height The brains of the men weigh 45.6 ounces; those of the women only 429 ounces. Here the
 men have an advantage of 6.3 per cent.
 From the figures which Broca gathered | in Paris we may select 54 men and 23 women whose heights were about 1.61 metre, the average of the women. how ever, being nearly half an inch more | than that of the men, yet their brains
 were less by 9 per cent than the mems, the weights being 1,21S grammes for | the females and 1929 for the males.
 Nor. adds the author, is the disparity | lessened if instead Of taking equal
 heights we take equal body weights.
 Men have always something like 10 per
 cent. more brains than women.
 | Woman can answer that it is quality and not quantity that counts. She is doing quite well with her lightweight l brains.

TRI1IBLE'.S OUEST.

When Robert J. Trimble finds out about the Sugar trust it is to be hoped that he will let the rest of the folks share his discovery. Trimble is the az grieved and optimistic man who has brought suit against the trust charging that it has more than a million dollars of surplus and that this surplus is now being used to depress the price of sugar and to force Arbuckle Brothers, inde- pendent refiners, into g. combination with the American Sugar Refining com pany to illegally restrain trade. He prays for an injunction and asks that the American Sugar Refining company be compelled to exhibit its books and show what surplus 1t has and what is being done with it.
 It is, of course, asserted that MT. Trimble is not playing any games for himself or others and that he honestly wants and means to know how the bus mess in which he is interested as a stockholder is managed. His counsel says that he holds several hundred shares, and has also friends who feel the same curiosity as he. He repre- sents the feeling of the shareholders generally, who have a right to the sur plus, or at least to a satisfactory expla- nation of why they do not receive 1t, The counsel for the Sugar trust says he is charitable" enough to believe that these people" do not imagine they will be successful. Most people who have watched the performance will be inclined to take the same charitable" view of the case while hoping that by some unforeseen turn in affairs the very interesting information which Trimble seeks will be found by him.

The distinction of being the first town
 in the United States to undertake for est planting on a large scale and so es- tablishing what is called in Europe forest town belongs, 1t appears, to Brunswick, Maine. This municipality owns a tract of some thousand acres of what was at one time pine land, but which has now for several years been given over to the riots of forest fires and the growth of wild huckleberries. At meeting of the town council, held the other day, it was decided to appro- priate $1 ,0oO for the improvement of this tract by the planting of white pine. The best seed possible will be purchased and a nursery set up for raising young trees. When these reach the proper age they will, if healthy, be transplanted in rows and set out in the positions they will finally occupy, after which they will need little further care, save in the way of protection from fire. As things now are. the land is absolutely unproductive, and if the new scheme proves successful it will be both ornamental and profita- ble. In Europe such town forests are common enough, and usually furnish a considerable part of the city's revenue.

In the report of the secretary Of the Silk Association of America the fol- lowing interesting passage occurs: "The United States of America mas now become the greatest raw silk coh- suming country in the world (except- ing, of course, China, and perhaps Japan, where correct statistics of home consumption are not yet available). In other words, New York city, the only raw silk market in America, holds now the first place among all the raw silk markets of the world, Shanghai alone excepted. In New York city more raw silk is now sold than is consumed in France, which is still the largest raw silk consuming country of Europe

There is being constructed at the Watervliet arsenal 16-inch gun, which according to the engineers cal culations, will throw projectile weigh ing 2,370 pounds a distance of 2O.76 miles. This enormous piece of ordnance will weigh 126 tons without the car riage, and will be 49 feet inches in length and feet 2 inches in diameter at the breech. Its projectile is GA inches in length, and will require charge of 1,060 pounds of powder. This, however, would give 1t an initial vel ocity of 2,6OO feet per second, and a muzzle penetration of 41.6 inches of wrought iron. The calculated pressure at the breech at the maximum range and elevation is given as 36,0o0 pounds to the square inches.

Cantain Folger of the Kearsarge says that electricity does nearly everything on that battleship except to call the roll and scrub the decks. Sixty different motors of 4S0 horsepower and $50 kilo- watts furnish power for every device that was formerly operated by steam. The ship is wired on the three-wire sys- tenn. so that the motors can be operated at two voltages-160 and 1S0-whch is analogous to the use of 160 and lso nounds of steam. On the previous group of battIeships-the Indiana, the Massa- chusetts and the Oregon cass-the mo- tors are only ninety-six horsepower and seventy-two kilowatts. On Eng fish ships the use of electricity is still confined to incandescent lights, search lights and signal apparatus, but upon the Kearsarge and the Kentucky steam pipes are almost entirely abolished All this makes 1t necessary for the officers and sailors of the navy to have thor ough knowledge of the electrical sci- ence. and schools of instruction, both for officers and enlisted men, with cleo trical workshops, have been established at Newport and at the navy yards in New York city, Boston, Norfolk and San Francisco.

ing was gratifying success, both in

Miss Luse has a>deep resonant voice,
good presence and is an elocutionist Of
ability, and she does not follow in the
rut, either in the matter of choice or
delivery of her selections. Those heard
last night were nearly all entirely new
to her audience, The Scotch dialect
story, "The tragedy OF Benorie," was
particularly fresh, and as delivered, was
very impressive, with the musical
repitition Of the one word at the end
of each line Of the poem.
Miss Luse opened her program with the
sailors description Of "a hanthem, +" and
closed with the "New England Debating
Society,""
Between the two came a wide range OF
SUBJECTS from grave to gay, mostly OF
humorous nature, including the inevit-
able horse race. In this case, however,

Economic Value OF Cood Roaas.


There is food for thought in the report
OF the Maryland Geological Survey for
1899. In the first place we are told that
the people of Maryland have expended,
during the last ten years, upon the so.
called construction and repair of their
own roads, the sum OF no less than
S8,OOO,000. 1t seems that the greater
part of this money has been frittered
away IN the attempt TO repair roads
which have been poorly laid out in the
tirst place, and for the lack of certain ne
cessary engineering qualifications car, in
the nature of things never be made into
good roads. As an instance of this it
may be mentioned that many of the
common roads have no natural drainage.
We are told that most of them are in a
poor condition for a part of the year,
and some OF them for the whole twelve
months
As the result Of careful estimate
made by the survey, IL is shown that
the farmers of the State of Maryland ex-
pend $3,000,000 a year more on their
haulding over the present poorly built
highways than would be necessary il the
hauling were done on frst.class roads.
These ficures are TO be compared with
the information collected by the Depart
ment of Agriculture in 1895, when, as
the result of data received from over 200
counties in various parts Of the United
States, it was ascertained that the
average cost of hauling one ton for one
mile over county roads was twenty-five
cents, which was just three times as
much as the averge cost of hauling over
the improved macadam roads of six
European countries. II this large sum
OF money represents the loss to the State
OF Maryland from poor roads, i. is easy
to say that the total loss throughout the
whole United States represents figure
so great that it must have an important
bearing upon the prosperity Of the coun-
try at large, and practically upon the
farming interests as such.
At first sight it seems incredible that
in country so progressive as ours the
of the common roads should
De over half century behind that OF
he Old World. 1t is true that the vast
extent of the United States. and the
,reat mileageof our roads in some States
'elative to the density of the population,
nay he offered az an excuse for our
,ackwardness; but while this plea may
lold good as regards the thinly populat.
