pUCKERED BRAINS.
Biggest Head Does Not Always Show
the Greatest In telligsnce.

Although investiga alton shows that
s~mall-headed men are quite as clever
as large-headed men, people fondly
cling to the superstit iOn that to dis
tinguish ones self il is necessary to
have a big head. tits really a fallacy,
as anatomists can easily prove.
What makes you a maj Of superior
intellect is not a large brain, but a
brain withmanyfolds-Or as they are
scientifically called, C o~nvolutions.
The reason is this: The brain con-
sists of two SubStanc es, the dense
white matter and the softer gray mat
ter. The white matt ct is inside, and
the gray matter covers it, just as the
rind covers an orange, Now, the
white matter is merely the termina-
ton of the nervous telegraphic sys-
tenn of the body, andit isthe graz COW
ering matter which thinks, writes,
makes poetry, forms judgments, etc.
Obviously, the more gray matter
you have the greater is your intellect.
To provide fora large ezpanse of gray
matter without incre asing the size of
the skull to an incon venient extent,
nature has adopted an ingenious plan.
1t has pushed in the surface of the
brain as you might p ush in a mass Of
dough with your fingers.
In the lower animals these trenches
are few and shallow. Intheapes they
are a little deeper and morenumerous

NO NEW IDEA.
Ancient Peoples Associated Rats with
Spread of Bubonic Plague.

In a recent number of the Frank
furter Zeitung is a discussion of the
antiquity of the beliefthat rats re-
sponsible for the spread of the plague.
According to the writer the recogni-
ton Of the necessity of exterminating
rats is no modern idea. 1t appears
