| ClSe2Se was investigated az inc last
sitting of the French Academy OF
Medicine. The patient is a young
Roumanisn, whose malady has been
been observed by Dr.. Marinesco of
Bucharest. The most curious mani
festation of his disease takes the shape
OF what is known among scientists as
mirror writirg," which means that
the characters are written backward,
so that when reflected in mirror they
are to be read in the ordinary way.
Dr. Hlarinesco had observed that TIE
hands Of his patient, when unoc-
cupied, were affected with a nervous
| trembling which ceased to great e1-
tent when they were used fora definite
purpose. Wishing to see what effect
this symptom Of the malady had on
the handwriting, Dr.. Marinesco asked
the patient to write q few lines from
dictatipn; TO his astonishment he
found taat the entire passage had been
written backward with absolute ac-
curacy. The experiment. was repeated
several times with exactly the same
result. and 1t is, in fact, impossible
for the patient to write otherwise.
When asked to trace word with his
foot on the ground it, too, was found
to be written backward. The patient
being Jew, q final experiment was
made with Hebrew. This language,
as is we'll known, is always written
backward. but the patient, reversing,
as usual, the normal process, can only
write it from left to right. Partial
cases Of mirror writing have been OBJ
served before, but none in which the
tendency was so irresistible. Pail

skulls and brain capacity. The aver
age weight OF mans brain is aboat
fifty ounces, that of woman about
forty five ounces. This difference be-
tween the sexes is less marked in say
age than III civilized races, and is ap-
parently explained by the fact that in
the higher races more attention is paid
to the education OF the male arthan the
female, and consequently the brain is
stimulated to increased growth.
