The salary law in Ohio has been
upheld by the Supreme Court. Coun-
ty officials have made a determined
effort to have the law declared un-
constitutional so they might return
to the rich harvest OF the fee system,
but they have been outdone and
must be content with tine salaries
which are offered FOR their services
The ruling of the Supreme court will
meet with the approval OF the tax
payers of the state, no matter how
much fault may be found with 1t by
the office holders. The thing which
is gratifying about the matter is
that some of Marion countys Off
clals were not mixed up in the at
tempt to have the law wiped off OF
the statute books.

THE BRAIN OF GENIUS.
Preponderenee Of Weight Theory Is
No Longer Accepted.

Preponderence OF Weight Theory Is
No Longer Accepted.
The old theory that weight of brain
endows its possessor with superior fac
ultlcs has long since been discarded.
Sims has demonstrated concmsiyely
that many celebrated men possessed
brains having lesser weight than the
brain of ordinary mortals or even of
idiots. The brilliant Gambetta had Il
brain which did not equal in weight
that of the average child. while the
brains of Agassi2, Byron, Daniel Web
ster. Napoleon and other great men did
not exceed in weight those of the ordi-
nary commonplace man. A curious fact
was that. heavy as It was, the brain of
Turgenev. the Russian novelist. was
greatly exceeded In weight by that of
an ignorant labOrihg man. All ofwhlch
goes 10 prove that Il heavy brain Is
no criterion of q persons intellectual
ity. nor does q light brain denote lnfe-
rlor mental cnpacity. Sims advocated
the theory that the colder the climate
the larger is the brain. Marchand In
some very interesting studies has dem
onstrated that there Is no constant re-
lntion between body weight and brain
weight. In general the weight of the
brain is greater between the ages Of
twenty and sixty than between sixty
and eighty. In estimating the mental
capacity of brain 1t Ia necessary to
consider qualitative conditions and
