BRAINS Dr. SOME GREAT MEN
Difference Between savaoes and
Races Long Civilized 10 Given by
Prof. Frederick Mott.

Prof Frederick w. Mott, lecturing
before the Royal institution OF Great
Britain on The Brain" said that, al
though in SS per cent. Of the cases in
which the brains OF great men had
been weighed the weight was above
the average, brain weight itself did
not always mean brain quality.
When there was lack of the func-
donating tissues, the lecturer ex-
planned. the structural material might
receive more than Its normal share OF
nourishment and the extra weight be
due to over-growth Of brain scaffold-
ing" This accounted for the very
large and heavy brains sometimes
found IN congenital idiots. Point
ing out that the brain weight of a race
long civilized surpassed that of alb
orgines, the lecturer stated that
whereas the ordinary European hos
pital patient had heavier brain than
savage, the Chinese coolie laborers
brain, developed by centuries of use.
weighed one and one-half ounces more
than that of the European hospital pa
tent.
Referring to the relative brain
weights Of Caucasian msn and women.
Professor Mott said that the female
brain had good start. weighing
nearly one and one-half ounces more
than the male brain at birth. In adult
life, however, the average mans brain
weighed about five and one-half
ounces more than the woman's.
The average weight of the European
male brain was pounds 10 ounces 3
drains TO pounds 16 ounces drains,
and of the female brain pounds 10
ounces IL drains to pounds 10 ounces
IA drains Among sayages there was
not this difference, since, in the strug-
gle for existence, the female had to
apply her brain as fully as the male.
hence 1t has developed at practically
the same rate.

CURE FOR IDlocY FAILED
Operation of Prof. Payr, Dean Of Ger.
man Hospital, Not the Success II
Was Reported to Be.

Berlin.-The cure OF an idiot boy
by Professor Payr, the dean OF the
surgical faculty Of Leipsic university,
was reported in cable dispatch a
few days ago Professor Payr, it was
then announced, had transplanted a
portion of the thyroid gland taken
from the childs healthy mother to the
blood vessels Of the patients kidneys.
The child had been born without a
thyroid gland and bad consequently
remained mentally undeveloped.
After the operation, so the report
of the case said, mental regeneration
at once set in, and after months
observation the patient was sent
home by the surgeon as thoroughly
sound In mind and body. Unfortu-
nately the cure turns out now to
have been only partial for afterward
reaction set in.
The engrafted morsel of thyroid
gland only produced its juices for a
time and then rapidly deteriorated,
leaving the patient as he was before
Surgical experts have now come ia
the conclusion that idiocy can only
be temporarily relieved when the
thyroid gland is entirely missing.

GIRL SAVES FATHER

bard & Carmichael mill In remote

They arrived In this city and rented
horse that the girl might ride and
that they might pack their camp out

They started on a fishing trip to
Rock creek, three-quarters Of mile
from their tent. Hardly had they
gone quarter Of mile when Eber-
hardt was bitten In the calf OF the
leg by a big rather He killed the
reptile, but soon began to weaken as
the poison took effect. The girl made
him lie down, and, after bandaging
the leg above the fang marks, took
large knife and made deep incisions
into the flesh.
After her father was on his way to
the ranch house the girl set out on
foot to follow and reached the ranch
in the afternoon.
Eberhardt is recovering, but physi-
clans say that had 1t not been for the
presence of mind of his daughter and
her prompt actions he would have
died in the mountain wilderness. They
said all the poison had been taken
from the mans body by the heroic
treatment of the girl.

one may buy such good canned goods
that much OF the work has been given
up; but we all have few time-hon-
ored and handed-down recipes which
we prepare each year. The following
are few which are old and reliable;

vinegar TO make 1t moist. Can cold.
Canned Red Peppers.--These dell
cious little appetizers which cost too
much In the winter to have often. may
he canned successfully at home. First,
raise your own sweet peppers. and
when ready to can, wash and cut In

Mayfield, Cal.-Cutting deep into
the flesh of the leg of her father, after
he had been bitten by rattlesnake,
getting down upon her hands and
knees, putting her lips to the wounds
made by her knife and the fangs of
the poisonous reptile, Anita Eberhardt,
twelve years old, sucked the venom
from the wound of Joseph Eberhardt
and saved his life. Then, half carry

him to camp quarter of mile away,
where, with difficulty, she placed him
on the back of saddle horse and
started him to the nearest farmhouse,
eight miles away.
Arriving at the farmhouse. Eber-
hardt fell in a dead faint and was

Scientists Seeking Relics In Nevada
Also Uncover Remains OF Prehis-

Reno, Nev.-Marvelous discoveries
of prehistoric mammals in the shale
fields on the desert 2S miles east Of
Nina, New, are announced as the re-
suit of the explorations Of Prof. Law
renee Baker Of the department of geo
logical research of the University of
California. Professor Baker is assist
ed in his researches by Prof Buwaldo,
also of the university faculty.
The Investigations disclose the fact
that the region about Nina was once
an immense body of tropical water.
The bones of three-toed horse. about
the size OF lamb, have been unearth-
ed. The teeth, well preserved. and the
entire remains of a prehis, oric dog
have been brought to light II is be-
lieved that this animal lived at least
five million or six million years ago.
The scientists say that the fields about
Nina are the most marvellous in the
world
Fossils eighteen feet high are to be
seen cropping out in the heart OF the
desert miles away from any human
life. In the vicinity is bed OF pure
carbonate of magnesia, which assays

INVENTION AS AID TO MUTES
French Specialist Produces contriv-
ance to Improve Hearlng-FNe
Sirens Are Used.

Deaf mutes are seldom absolutely
unable to hear any sound, and by
measuring their perception and prop
erly cultivating their powers, many OF
them may be given useful degree OF
hearing
As the voice cannot be varied at
will In quality. pitch and intensity,
Or. Marage, the French specialist, has
developed a more accurate acoumeter,
or measure of addition. Five sirens
coupled together give the fundamental
vibrations of the five vowels, and this
apparatus gives sounds of constant
quality that have known pitch vary
1ng with the speed of the motor and
a known intensity changing with the
pressure of the air traversing the ma
chine.
With the ear at a distance of 20
inches, the intensity of sound is rails
ed by increasing the air pressure I'M
til the vibrations are perceived. The
normal ear hears sound produced un-
der pressure OF one millimeter, and

millimeters to make the sound heard,
the sharpness of hearing is put down
at $50 and so on
II there is no roaring at 200 MILL
meters the test is continued with a
tube from the siren to the ear. The
perception varies for the different
sounds, and a record Is made In five
divisions, showing the sensitiveness
of the hearing for each Of the vowels.
The ears capacity being known, 1t
is trained by the simple and exact vi
brations of the vowel siren. In suit
able cases hearing develops rapidly
and results are reached In two months
that would require several years
with great exertion and fatigue-to at
tain by voice teaching.

Scientific Discovery.

One of the greatest discoveries Of
science is due to observation Of the
eclipses of Juditer's moons. 1t was
found that when the earth was in the
part of its orbit nearest Jupiter
these eclipses occurred 16 minutes
earlier than when 1t was in the
farthermost part; whereas, by all
rules of astronomy, they should have
occurred at the same time each time.
1t was deduced from this that the
light was not instantaneous, and con-
sequently took 16 minutes to traverse
the diameter of the earth's orbit, a
distance of about 200,000.000 miles,
thus giving to light velocity of 1885,
600 miles second, which was ac-
curately shown later by other expert
ments.
