Of the company s work.
It is well known that as Iowa farm
ers became prosperous they began to
sell their. land at good prices and to re-
invest in northwestern and Canadian
farms at low prices, so as to repeat
their wealth-producing experiences in
Iowa. The Great Western will show
farmers Of eastern states that they can
find attractive homes in Iowa and will
teach them to repeat the operations OF
the Iowa farmers and thus secure much
better land than they are now tilling in
the effete east.
The Great Western officials realize
that some Of the lands in Iowa are not
so productive as they should be, and
they intend to stir up agricultural &C.

Brain Weight and Intellect.
From Public Opinion

In a recent issue of the Annales Medico-
Psychologiques of Paris DR.. A. Adam
makes thorough analysis of the question
of brain weight as related to Intellectual
power, the conclusion of the French scien-
fist being that in general the weight and
size of 'all organs are in relation to func-
ton, and applied to the brain this prin-
cple Of general physiology allows to
state that this organ will increase in weight
and size as we rise in the animal scale"
ANTAGONISTS have for long time observed
that brain weight varies according to age.
sex, stature, conditions Of health dis
ease, occupatio and degree of intelligence.
After giving these various points an elab-
crate discussion. DR.. Adam concludes that
in general the weight of the brain in man
Is greater than in woman, although this
does not mean that certain women may
not have heavier brains than men. In gen.
eral, the weight of the brain is greater be-
tween the ages of twenty and sixty than
between sixty and eighty; height has an
effect on brain weight and muscular and
bone development plays It's part; nutrition
has an important effect on the brain state,
and Matiegka observed a difference of thir-
ty-SiX grams in favor of well-nouriShed
persons; disease has great effect on brain
weight especially diseases accompanied by
hemorrhageS, while for mental diseases the
author found that in some cases the brain
weight was greater in others that it was
less.
Dr. Adam divides brain weight into six
parts, according to the occupation-day
laborers, who have the lowest brain weight:
men with regular trades; domestic serv-
ants; business men; artists, professors. mu-
SicfanS etc; men engaged in higher forms
of intellectual activity, scientists and
others. In these different cases the brain
weight was found to be, respectively I4IO
grams, 1888 grams, 1875 grams, 1449 grams.
1869 grams and 1900 grams. To the argu-
ment which is frequently advanced that
Gambetta, Tiedemann and other great men
had brains which weighed less than the
average, DR.. Adam replies that weight of
the brain Is not the only condition of in
telligence, but that IN addition to this we
must consider qualitative conditions and
morphologic superiority. These are all eIe-
ments which may produce intellectual su-
periority, but none of them, considered sep
arately. constitutes an element which is suf-
fcient to gauge the intelligence, although
1t may have it's significance.
