In connection with the question now
before the federal supreme court for de-
cision, whether "the constitution follows
the flag" a curious turn of affairs in
Porto Rico is noted. The ground taken
by the administration since it's abandon
ment of what the president had previous
ly declared to be the plain duty" of the
nation toward this island possession has
been that the Porto Ricans are not
American citizens. If they are not Amer
lean citizens, it seems to be clear that
they cannot be appointed to office in Por-
to Rico for the regulations provided for
the island forbid the appointment Of
other than American citizens to these
positions. This whole matter may take
new turn under the anticipated decis-
lon of the United States supreme court;
but while the regulations ow made
continue to be in force it Is difficult 10

from The literature of the subject there is
no doubt in my own mind that il a mans

pSychical stigmata he is invariably Of bad
physical development also and has numer-
Gus psychical sti@mata. As far as |
know, there are few if any eases of abb
normal minds in average bodies devoid of
stigmata. II is a fair inference, then,
that if mans body is nearly an average
in all respects, height, weight, proper
tons etc, there must also be an average
brain and therefore a normal mind. eX-
Guiding. of course, normal men who have
acquired insanity. Beyond this we dare
not go for there is absolutely no relation
between intelligence and stature. Men of
genius may be big like Bismarck or little
like Napoleon or De Costa. and the same
may be said of the feeble minded rs well
as those of average intelligence. George
WaShiuctou's physical measurements are
said t. have been Identical with those Of
Jeffrics. the giant pusii>t. Other illus
trations might be given Indefinitely.
1t is true that the human brain weight
depends upon the body weight, for many
muscles require many brain cells. In like
manner the sparrow needs but few
grains of brain, while the whale and ele-
plant must have more than man. Yet
that indcscribahlc and Unreasonable va
riablc called intelligence depends upon
other things in addition To weight Of

due to increased stature consists Of tissue
