In estimating the size OF the humaH
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-ifth 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

In front of the columns were four

PRIMITIVE ARAB LIFE.
Desert People still Have the Customs

Desert People still Have the Customs
Of Abraham's Time.
In the wild deserts Arab life Is as
primitive as In Abraham's time. Sheep
are still slain to seal a vow. The salt
or bread covenant is observed, and
when a man dies his tent Is torn down
and destroyed.
Old names such as Joseph, Moses
and Alexander are still in common use
among Arabs, though pronounced
"Yusuf," "Musa' and "Skandar."
To divorce his wife a man may re
peat the formula Ent telek three times.
Usually saying it once makes the wo-
man behave, and its repetition LIS not
necessary.
The "evil eye superstition is com
mon, and the first injunction given a
visiting foreigner by experienced Ara
bian travellers is that he must not point
at animals or persons in Arab settle
ments.
Arabs say a man gifted with this
malign power can look at a bird flying
In the air and that 1t will drop dead;
that If he chooses to cast his wicked
spell on a camel 1t may go lame or a
child so selected will be struck blind.
None of the lower class can read or
write, but the Arab is noted for his
ready wit and his habit OF speaking in
