From the Lance


Prof w. Won Bechterew and Prof r.
Weinberg have made a very complete
study of the brain Of Prof. Mendeleeff so
widely celebrated as a chemist. and is
sued their account. Prof. Mendeleefr was
heavy corpulent man. with long. fair
hair. blue eyes. ruddy skin. and a short.
broad head the width being 81 per cent
of the length. The outstanding feature
of his mental life was his powers of
INSTALLATION; his concepts became wildly
alive. mobile and plastic: his vocabulary.
although not overlooking, was ample and
very apt.
His brain was rather above the average
in weight. Q,571 grammes), and the con-
vOlutions were comparatively simple in
their arrangement. So little do We know
Of any cOrrelationship between special
mental gifts and the surface form of the
brain that not even those who have made
a special study Of the brains of celebri-
ties could have guessed that this particu-
lar brain belonged to one of the fore
most investigators Of his time. Prof
Mendeleeffs brain shows three interest
ing features: The left parietal region is
extensive and highly conv0luted; the pos
terror parts OF the frontal lobes in the
neighborhood of the second frontal con-
voluton are more massive than usual
and the temporal lobes are small and SIM
pie.
The two features first named are prob
ably correlated with Prof. Mendeleeff's
special gifts of INSTALLATION and creative
imagination: the third may be associated
with his lack of musical appreciation. The
authors do well to remind their readers
that our knowledge Of the genius brain
is still in its baby shoes" They do
not share the respondent view of Prof
Stieda. who is convinced that there is alb
solutely no correlationship between the
surface form OF the brain ana the mental
life of the individual. and that all at
tempts to solve the functions of the brain
in this direction are futile.

bluejay at one time spent two months
as a guest I'm my home. We all know what
harsh voices the jays have. Did any one
ever hear a jay sing a sweet. tuneful little
Song, l wonder? While the small jay

He listened with rapt attention. and
after a few days he tried bit of song
himself. At first i had to stop and laugh.
his performance was so amusing: but
after a few weeks practice he could sing
very sweetly-nOt eXactiy the tunes he
heard, but little ones that he made up as
he went along. II any noises pleased him
he began to sing. A heavy thunder
shower or the whir of the sewing machine
always moved him 10 express his delight
in song.
More than 200 years ago young vio-
linfst, Isidore Berthaume. was obliged to
practice on his violin many hours daily.
One day he saw a spider peeping at him
from its crack I'm the wall. Soon it ven

it could do such damage.
What l needed was to quit coffee

Il had read much about Postum,
but never thought it would fit my case
until one day l decided to quit coffee
and give 1t trial and make sure about
it. So l got a package and carefully
