THE SMALLEST HUMAN BRAIN.
Proof That sIxs Of Organ Does Not
Measure Intellect.

What Is believed to be the smallest
brain ever found In a normal human
being was revealed as a result Of an
autopsy performed at the New York
.ity morgue upon the body Of Daniel
Lyons, a Waterman, employed in. the
Pennsylvania tunnel excavation.
Lyons became i'll suddenly while at
work, and, having had no medical at.
tendance. his death came technically
1nder the investigation Of the coroner.
Or. Philip O'Hanlon. who, with Prof.
John f.. Larkin. of the College OF Ply.
'iclans and Surgeons, made the au.
.opsy, found that the brain OF Lyons
weighed only "a ounces, although the
normal weight of the human cerebrum
g from As to so ounces.
Lyons was 40 years OF age. Ave feet
1--we Inches In height and weighed i40
pounds. Those who had known him
Tor many years testified that he was
of average intelligence. The cause of
the mans death was Inflammation Of
he kidneys. The mans brain seemed
In every way normal except as to size.
1T is one OF the most remarkable
brains | have ever SEEM said DR..
o'Hanlon, who has made thousands Of
autopsies, 'and It shows that the size
Of the brain does not necessarily
measure the intellect of man. Lyons

brain, and not the size OF It, counts.
One of the smallest brains known to
anatomists was that OF Gambetta, at
one time president Of France. and a
brilliant and forceful thinker"
Comparative tables OF the weights
Of human brains bear out the idea Of
Or. o'Hanlon that there is little con-
nection between the weight OF the
brain and the power of the intellect.

The coming practice cruise Of Admiral Evans battle fleet will do the
service more good than has been rendered since the Spanish wal. To test
their sea-going qualities, ships must be tried in a sea-way, and to make
sailors men must have a sea experience. Lying about our harbors at the
rings of their anchors does not give the required experience at sea. Lying
by at the "clews of the topsals" is a much better experience Not only will
the man behind the gun and the officers Of all ranks acquire experience
by this cruise, but the department at Washington will learn what pepar-
atoms are necessary when an exped-
tonary force is obliged TO be sent to ,-
