WEIGHT OF THE BRAIN.

The average weight Of the human
brain in man Is forty 70 fifty ounces.
The brains Of females weigh five
ounces less, on the average. than those
OF males But the ratio CT the brain
weight 10 that OF the body IS the same
in both sexes: consequently the differ
ence of weight In the brains OF males
and females is due 10 the lesser body
weight In woman, and not 10 inferior
cerebral DEVELOPMENT Thackeray and
Cuvier had brains Weighing hfty-four
and f1fty-eight ounces, while Gambetta' s
weighed only fOrty-One ounces. or less
than the average boy Of seven years.
Byron's brain weighed siXty-eight
ounces and Dante's fifty. ssimms found
an idiot boy with brain weighing fifty
nine ounces. and an ignorant iaborer
whose brain weighed seventy-eight
ounces This would seem 70 prove that
the weight OF the brain is no guide TO

MILES AND MILES.

''Win we never drop miles for kilo-
meters?" said mathematician. Miles
are very confusing. A kilomster, the
world over, is a kilometer, but a mile
in America IS 1.760 yards, while in Swe-
den it IS u,7C3 yards. and IN China it is
629 yards.
The Bohemians go in for a long mile,
So do the Danes, the Hungariaas, the
Poles, the Swiss. If you walk three
miles day among those people, you
have done pretty we'll; you have COW
cred about fifteen of your own miles
There are, III fact, thirUy-seven kinds
or miles. II would take eighteen of the
shortest to equal one Of the longest
The rest vary In size between those two
extremes. Doesn't the world, then. need
one measure. the ltilO that IL may use
without confusion? Consider: 4 train
that goes lGA miles an hour in China
would go only nine miles an hour in
Sweden. Exchange.
