CONGRESSMAN DAVID j. LEWIS of
Maryland expresses the opinion that if
the administrative powers" clause Of
the parcel post law be stricken out the
vital force of parcel post will be killed.
'In that case. he AYERS, the service
cannot be expanded, and we shall have

alone. 1t isn't bad advice The plan
illustrates the normal working of the
popular lobby.

Dous That Hunt Grabs.

A collector for the London zoo has
succeeded in capturing several crab
hunting and crab eating dogs In Brazil
The dogs are half fox. but they do not
seem to care very much for poultry.
They have been known to turn up their
noses at nice. fat pullets and 60 fishing
for crabs instead. The dogs hunt In
packs along the banks Of the rivers in
the Amazon valley. and the crawfish
and land crabs of that region are their
especial prey. The crabs often put up
a vigorous fight. but the dogs have a

The Human Brain.

In estimating the size of the human
brain in comparison with the brain OF
other animals we must figure on not
only the positive size. but the relative.
Were this not the case man would
stand below the elephant and whale,
as the brains of those creatures far ex-
coed mans in positive size. while as
regards relative size they stand so far
below him that, while the brain of the
elephant amounts to about the five
hundredth and that of the whale to
three-thousandth part of the bodily
weight of these animals respectively,
the brain Of man varies from one-thir-
ty-fifth to one-thirty- seventh of his en-
tire weight. This shows the immense
superiority of the human brain as COM
pared with the brains Of the lower ami
mals.-New York American.
