to the east and to the south and west.
The extreme silver states which sup

little less than a love feast, in which
all sections took part.

A WRITER in the British Nineteenth

weight, the brain OF woman is aeayt,
IMAM mans. She a so of brain for
every pound Of body, while man has
but "A ounces. He asks If 1t Is really
r that man has less brain thar
woman? He thinks the body compari-
son inadmissible. His conclusions ar
stated are these:
Whatever be the size We choose 20,
Woman's brain is always
less than the mans Whether the OBJ

or the results are quite un-
af1ected. From Boyd's figures We can
pick out 102 men and 113 women be-
tween 81 and Sc inches high, averaging
close on to 65 inches for each group.
But the brains Of the men average &C.
ounces, while those OF the women are
only 41.9, which gives the men an ad-
vantage of u per cent. From the fig
ureS which Broca gathered in Paris
we may select 81 men and % women,
whose heights were abou 1.61 metres,

This explains why the really grsaI
geniuses of the world in all calings
have been men.
