only matter of the most serious Portent will
hurry the native - Why Rosario what are you
doing back so soon2' she exclaimed.
The boy twisted his hands nervously together and
glanced quickly about him. Come where
can hear!" he whispered, avoiding the cOlloquial
Spanish
Madeleine hurried after him. Something
certainly wrong for the boy at each step grew more
and more uneasy Reaching home he closed the
door cautiously after them, and beckOning her to
corner-amOst the only one in the open house that
did not permit of observation eXcitedy began: Il
know you love much the Amcrieanos; 50 | run
quick back to tell YOU. You know town of San
Simon-very big, have many soldiers. Hundreds
bolomen hide in town. When soldiers eat to-
night, boomen jump on and kill all. No more
But the soldiers are armed" Madeleine ex-
claimed forgetting caution in the excitement
of the moment.
"Ssh-hl" Rosario pleaded in an agony of fear
:" If people here find Out-kill us, and help
Amr1icdnos. Many, many bolomen come from all
over island-hve times solders-run in and Kill
soldiers quick. Paactan no Sdbc- Dhumeguer
Sdbe."
The fiendshness of the plot burst upon Madeleine.
1t was to be a colossal and desperate attempt TO
eXterminate the Americans. San Simon was the
one big military station of the island; there
only two others, Palactan and Dhumeguer, and
they held not over two troops of cavalry. The girl
grew weak with the realization of what it meant.
After period of benumbng silence She turned
suddenly to Rosario. How many miles to San
Simon" she demanded.
The boy threw up his hands in a hopeless gesture.
Never can go thirty miles from Palactan, and
very bad roads
But we can go to Palactan and send them to
the relief" =" she cried.
Rosario frightened but only for instant.
You get killed, maestro! Maybe have got spies
here, jump up out grass and kill us, he dismally
argued
We've got to try, though" the girl resolutely
decided. You 60 to the edge OF the town and get
a carroUrdta. II meet you at the Palactan road.
If the news hasn't reached here yet | get out
safely"
Rosario fingered for a moment in terrified indie
cisiOn while she took down her revolver and con-
cealed it in her blousewaist. - You go-l 90 too"
he announced desperately, seeing that his beloved
maestro was bent upon the dangerous journey.
The rude carriage which Rosario had secured
promised nothing in the way of comfort; but the
horses were somewhat above the lean average. He
was an experienced C0chr0, and put the horses to
their utmost The greatest speed that they could
attain would hardly suffice to gain Palactan in time
allow for the much longer march OF the troops to
San Simon.
They whirled past groups of rural natives amblng
into town, laden with market produce. These stop

THE WEIGHT OF THE BRAIN.
Its Relation to InteIlect-Connectio
Between the Brain Cells.

OSb"cSH IHe brain OetIS.
! Other factors besides brain weight
are known to influence intelligence
1t has long been known that the dis
tinguishing character Of the human
brain is the large number of connect
ing fbreS, by which its cells are CO.
Ordlnated. In no other species are
they 50 numerous or complicated The
cells constitute but very small part
OF the weight. There is now consider
able evidence that the same rule ap-
plies among individual men, and that
those of great intelligence have more
connections, SO that their cells can
do more and better team work.
Some Investigations nave shown the
corpus callCSum to have a large cross
section in men who had shown great
ability. 1t is also known that the
brains of able men are likely to pres
6nt mere convolutions and deeper
Cnes than the average, as though
there were mere brain cells as we'll
as more connections. 4 few Cbserva-
Ions in the lower races point TO the
fact that their brains are essentially
different in microscopic organization.
All these facts will fully explain why
men OF intelligence in the higher
races may have brains not notably
heavy, but they do not disprove the
general statement that as a class such
men do possess brains heavier than
the average.
The mistake arises from the failure
to recognize that noted men who have
SHOWN intellectual power not infre-
quently were sharply limited to one
or two directions, being very defective
in other directions. Blind Tom was
an idiot, in fact-an extreme case OF
what is quite common. At the other
extreme was Gambetta, who was not .
much more than an orator, whose
cerebral speech centres were found
to be highly developed. The rest OF .
his brain was small and his general
intellectual power and judgments
were decidedly defective. Ability in
one or two lines may make man
famous, while he is really very de-
fectiye and his brain proves to be
small
Heavy brains are not necessarily
ones. or elephants would
be in the class of geniuses. The ma
terial might also be pathologic and
the pOssessor an imbecile. 1t often hap
pens that men of big brain and great
ability suffer from early neglect and
are found in lowly employments or
may remain ignorant through life.
These few facts do not prove that
large brains are worthless and not
Indicative of mental power as a rule.
We cannot get away from the fact
hat man as an animal is supreme be-
cause of his large brain; that among
races the brainiest are the highest,
md that in any one race the most
intelligent, as rule, are those who
lave the most brains.
Men of small brains are not the
eaders, and no statistics of the brain
weights of a few exceptional men
loted for limited abilities, can reverse
he rule. Universities do not create
,rains, but merely train what exists,
70 that the owners are better fitted
or the battle of life. Many man is
ent to colle.e who should be hand
ing a pick and shovel, and he never
mounts to much, even though he

FABUL OUSLY RICH IN SILVER
laney County Ore Assays Over $4,000 10
the TOn-GOId Also.

a special dispatch from Rolla, Mis-
souri,, to the Kansas City journal under
date of July ., says:
Ore found near Reed Springs, in Ia.
ney county, thirty.two miles south of
Springfield, has been assayed By ex-
pert metallurgists at the state school of
mines at this place, and the stull assays
S,S.9 ounces Of silver and one ounce of
gold to the ton. This would make il
run more than $1,000 to the ton. The
mine where this particular ore was
found is owned by Simeon Brink of
Springfield. 1t is probable that there
will be a rush to Taney county. The
assay was made by staff metallurgists
OF the school of mines aud is regarded
as reliable, The silver and gold are
mixed with lead, according to the ex.
pcrts, which makes the story probable,
as lead is found in great quantities in
that vicinity.
The above ore should not be con-
founded with that taken from the old
Spanish working, AS told by the Repub-
lican recently, but was taken from IL
shaft now being sunk on the Brink
property, at APPOINT four miles east of
Reed Springs, in Taney county, by a.
j. Nicholson Of Springfield. The re-
rnlt of the assay, according to the
Springfield papers, was communicated
to Mr.. Brink in letter signed by Pro-
fessor Thompson, official gcolOgist of
the state school Of mines.
William Baily, the experienced min-
er and assayer upon whose representa-.
tions the present developments have
been made, has leased land in the vi
cinity and is sinking shaft.
Northwestern Taney, however, is not
alone in furnishing good things in the
precious and other metals. Dozens of
assays from other parts of the county
show pay, and in some cases values of
such degree rs will create mild sens
alton when made public, which, we
have reason TO believe, will soon be
! done.
