are placed on paper or clean board,
and after being carefully mixed, a!
sample bottle of ounces is filled.
This bottle is sealed by placing melted
wax on the cork, upon which while
still warm, is Impressed a metallic
seal which would show any tampering
with the sample. On this bottle is
glued label giving the number, the
inspectors name, and the date of the
drawing. The inspector now writes
on sheet of paper the same number
as that on the label and an exact copy
or description of every brand or mark
found on the sack or package, which
must contain the manufactura name
and address, the weight and the guar
anteed analysis. All this has been done
in the presence of witness who
unites with the inspector in an affl-
davit that this was fair and repre-
sentative sample of the lot, and that
it was drawn, sealed and numbered
before the signing. This paper con-
tanning the description is then wrap
ped about the sample bottle and ex-
pressed to this Office. The descrip-
tive paper is here carefully pasted in
large invoice book kept for the pur-
pose, and the sample is sent by num-
Der only to the chemist. Suppose the
number of the sample was 450. We
send sample No. $50 to the chemist
with instructions to hunt for the three
| ingredients, and with positively no
other marks to indicate who made it
or what it contained. After its analy-
sis IS made, copy of same sent me by
the chemist. This is pasted carefully
by the side of the inspectors descrip-
ton: and both are published in bull
1etin. Until then, positively, the chem
lists no more know who made the fer
tilizer, or what it contained, than a
government mule. I alone have the
information, which I am obliged to
have, or I could not later publish it
for the benefit of the farmers who buy
fertilizers. Can any better method be
devised for insuring both to buyer
and sesler absolute fairness and &C.
curacy, both in the drawing and ana
lying of these official samples?

CLEMSON EXTENSION WORK.
Article 26-Part [.

In reply to criticisms that We some
times hear, that Clemson college will

plantation Of Just who these samples

and which will show such criticisms
are unjust and without any founda-
ton, in fact.
The laws on this subject recognize
and provide for only two classes Of
these samples, first: Official samples
drawn by inspectors sent out for that
purpose, and End: Farmers or pur
chasers' samples, sent to the college
by the farmer or purchaser when
drawn in accordance with laws gov
erning this subject.
Section 1880 of statutes Of this State
requires the trustees Of Clemson COL
lege to send their official inspectors
to get samples of all commercial fer
tilizers they find sold, or offered for
sale, and send these samples to the
college for analysis. For this purpose
the State is divided into twelve divis
ions, regard being had to railroad fac
tories and volume of fertilizer trade.
To each of these districts an inspec-
tor is sent, Instructed to go often to
every depot and cross roads where
commercial fertilizers are sold or de-
livered, and draw samples from each
brand. The sample must be taken
from at least one-tenth of the lot-for
instance, if 100 sacks in lot. he must
draw fr~'o' .. least ten: if so sacks,

the amount of cerebration is largely
dependent upon the amount OF blood
circulating in the cerebrum. An indl-
vidual possessed of large and we'll
convoluted cerebrum might be so
handicapped by feeble heart and
poor nutrition as not to measure up to
the average mental standard.
The average white mans brain
weighs from 49 to 50 ounces. More DEL
icate of frame and faculty, the mem
bers of the fair sex come next with an
average brain weight of 43 to 45
ounces. The smallest human brains
are found in Central Africans. And
the average civilized infantile brain,
at birth weighs from 10 to y ounces,
a brain mass much greater in proper
ton to the body than obtains in the
adult.
Some Of the largest brains on record
belonged to lunatics. Several of these
weighed upward Of 80 ounces, and one
weighed 81 1-2.
If, however, a large brain does not
necessarily mean a large intelligence,
it certainly does not necessarily indi-
cate a small Intelligence. An exces-
sively small cerebrum nearly always
is associated with idiocy, and contrari-
wise, scme Of the greatest intelIects

have resided in excessively large
brains. Cuvier, who did so much for
comparative anatomy and philosophy,
had a brain which weighed 81 1-3
ounces; the brain of Daniel Webster
weighed 63 ounces, as did that of
Abercrombie, the great Scotch author
ity on the brain and nervous system,
and both byron and Cromwell had
abnormally heavy brains, showing
marked evidence of disease"

PEOPLE WITH BIG BRAINS.
Some of the Largest Heads on Record
Belonged to Lunatics.

Is there any truth in the commonly
accepted idea that a big brain is nee
essarilv associated with big mind?
The human brain consists Of five
major divisions, which, though init
mately connected, are severely distinct
as to function Named from b5low up
ward these parts are the medulla,
pons midbrain, cerebellum and cere-
brum. All parts of the brain are per-
meated by nerve dbers, and are there
fore concerned in the transmission OF
nerve impulses; but at least three
parts are primarily occupied with 9TH
er business. The medulla, which is
the stalk-Hike connection between the
brain and the spinal cord, contains
nuclei of nerve cells, which propel the
heart, lungs, blood vessels and so on.
The pons is broad band Of hbers,
which serves to connect the right and
left sides of the base Of the brain. The
nidbrain is the forked upward extern
sion Of the medulla, prong passing
into each of the great hemispheres
of the cerebrum, and, like the pons,
the midbrain is chiefly conducting
portion of the brain. The cereb 7llum,
or little brain,' lies under the back
part of the cerebrum and on top OF
the pons. 1t is the regulator of vol
untary muscular motion. An animal
deprived of its cerebellum can move,
feel and think, but can not control its
movements. Finally, we come to the
cerebrum, the largest division of the
brain, which overhangs the other four
divisions in the form of two big con-
voluted hemispheres divided by a deep
longitudinal fssure. In these hemis-
pheres reside the physical mechanism
Of ousness-reason, feeling,
will. Here, let US observe, that OF
the five parts Of the brain, only one,
the carebrum, has to do with the INTEL
lect. In fishes the cerebrum is the
smallest part of the brain. Accord
ingly, though the whale has a larger
brain than man, most of the brethren
Of Jonah are possessed Of higher intel
ligence than is exhibited by the larg-
est of fishes. The whale has more
brains. but man has more cerebrum.
A cross section of the carebrum
shows that this part Of the brain is
made up of large core of white nerve
fbers and a comparatively thin rind
of nerve cells or gray matter. In ami
mails OF low intelligence, rodents, for
example, the coating of gray matter is
comparatively smooth over the sur
face Of the cerebrum. But in higher
animals the gray matter IS seen to
dip down into grooves and assures
now and then. an arrangement which ;
requires more gray matter to cover
brain of given size than is required
to cover the smooth brains Of rat. In
man the Unfolding of gray matter is
carried to a high degree of complex
ity But in idiots the brain is smooth
er and less convdluted than in intel
ligent men. Consequently an imbecile
might have a larger cerebrum than a
bright man, but less gray matter. The
brains of children are less convoluted !
than those Of thair elders.
Another feature OF the case is that |

1t is somewhat surprising that book
of this character has notsbeen made here
tofore. The intercollegiate debates have
for years been a most important feature
Of the annual activities of the American
educa tional institutions. In the course of
these discussions public questions OF
importance have been threshed ont by
students with an exceptional degree of
ability in both the assembling of facts
and delivering of arguments. This vol
ume is in a measure compendium of liy-
ing issues. The report of each debate COM
prises d synopsis of all the speeches. both
affirmative and negative, a memorandum
of the winning side, and a list of the best
references to the subjects under discus
sion The reports were in all cases pre-
pared by the debaters themselves. In an
appendix Prof. Pearson offers list of
subjects for questions for debate.

that is delightful at every stage. The
courageous acceptance of her Ill fortune
by Miss Coverdale after the death Of her

The nyika is the wilderness. 1t eNerts
fascination upon all who get past the
African shores into the vast land beyond.
Col. Patterson felt it so strongly that
after one trip fraught with great dan
ger he went again into the wilds, and it
is the story of the second trip that is
told in the present volume. One can
easily understand the lure of the jungle
and the plain after reading this vivid
region lately brought into international
prominence by the journey of the ex-
President of the United States. In the
main Col. Patterson's travels covered the
same country that has been hunted over
by the Roosevelt party. There is no lack
of excitement in trip across that part
of the world. When the natives are
peaceful and extend a welcome to the
