WEIGHT OF HUMAN BRAINS.

According to ON item bon the New
York Times the theory that human iu-
ufligrncc CON be measured by the
weight OF the brains must be modified
considerably because it has just been
proved that exceptionally light gray
matter does not necessarily mean core
responding absence OF Intelligence %
is said that uost-mortem examination
OF Daniel Ryan, by Dr. Philip O.Han-
Ion and Prof. John H. LarHn. of the
College OF Physicians and Surgeons. has
disclosed the fact that hc had the light
est healthy human brain recorded. The
substance filled "a Uranium OF normal
size. but weighed only "a ounces. about
half of the usual weight. The Inference
Is that other factors besides brain
weight influence Intelligence"
Some time ago am anthropologist of
Prague sought 10 demonstrate that the
average weight of the male brain was
1900 gammos. and that Of the femal,

But IL is evident that this classification
is unreliable. The brain of Isaac New
