The Trust Indenture requires the main
tenance of current assets to an aggregate
amount equal to at least one and one-half

But the great comparison came when

research in the natural sciences, the for

DR. Spitzka reported as follows:
"The brain of Joseph Leidy exceeded IN
cross-section all others recorded. His cere

lessor Cope was more creative, construc-,

Leidy was q keener observer, quick at see
ing comparisons and analogies, coupling
his multitudinous observations into gen.
civilizations and systematiZatons in a
SUPERIOR manner. He was a good visual
izer and possessed good powers OF memor-
izing and recalling visual impressions. He
excelled in the use of the microscope. Cope
busted himself with abstract generaliza'

10 the preponderance of Cope's frontal
area. Leidys preponderance was parieto-

mated to be that OF the average weight OF

bony projections below continued to grow
as new formations Of irregular masses OF
bone, which pierced the external covering
of the brain with sharp points.
There followed gradually concretion and
degeneration of the two inner coverings of
the BRAIN and an unnatural growth of the
innermost covering and the back portion
of the cerebrum, or forebrain Thus the
whole brain gradually atrophied, through
no fault of his own, and one Of the greatest
musical minds clouded into insanity. Like
Beethovens, the convolut.ons of his brain,
when normal, were twice as numerous and
the assures twice as deep as in the ordi-

his long residence in France, is credited
with being a Frenchman. He was, how.

descent, and his real name was George

notable for the perfect symmetry OF its
convoIutions. Death was caused by can

Still larger, perhaps the largest brain In
history, was that of Oliver Cromwell, 1880

here Is that the brain was weighed in three

three different existing skulls said to he

ticularly noticeable in the l--------
front region, while the
back region had relatively enormous
gyres. or rounded ridges, at the margins
and angles--a typical higher methema-
ticial brain.
A similar, but little smaller brain was
noted In the Swedish mathematician and
astronomer, Hugo Gylden, of 1852 grams.
The notable features of both brains we're
in the region around the epi.sylvian ramus,
which borders upon and includes on one
side the central organ Of addition, OF hear.
ing. and on the other side the parietal or
back association area of mathematical and
astronomical faculties. This ramus is
ordinarily small IN most OF US, but in these
brains the struggle for cortical expansion
had been 80 great as to give unusual
breath to the marginal gyres, or rounded
ridges, constituting veritable covers Of the
section. where otherwise none would be
essential.
Something similar appears in the chess
brain, that Of Steinitz weighing about the
same, 1869 grams. Here. also, we have
phenomenal development OF frontal con-
volutions. or brain folds, reaching nearly to
the eyes. As they increased In size they
decreased in numbers. The bulge was so
great as to bend in the eye plates of the
skull
The most curious phenomenon took place
when Steinitz changed his occupation to
Increase his income.
He went from one stage Of insanity 10
another, and finally died, gazing into
space. trying to hypnotize Bah, the Persian
god.

himself Thus his eccentricities were &C
counted for, which we're not insanity.

Dus 70 his final sickness. there was an
estimated shrinkage of 3O2 grams. The
Uranium was brachycephalic, but decidedly
bigher than the type. The cerebrum, Or
forebrain, was broad, short and deep.

was unusually great. Marshall concluded
from the size of the convoutions, suffi-

able white fibres supporting IT, especially
the transverse, commissural fibres that
here was the perfect brain of the highest
organization. Some accept Grote as proof
that interracial marriage evolves higher
tyne of progeny Others insist the case is
exceptional and accidental. The fact is
that interracial marriage may either be
productive of the worst traits of both par
ents or the best traits The evidence
stands ffty-flfty.
There are notable cases Of fathers and
sons having almost identical skulls and
brains. particularly when the son follows
the pursuit Of the father. The two Doc
tors Leidy and the two Doctors Seguin are
the most notable recorded instances. All
four fathers and sons were most distin-
guished men.
The brain of Adolph Bertillon, the great
French anthropologist. who died in 1888,
is one OF the most extraordinary cases. AT
the age of ten, he became deaf in the lett
ear. He had the greatest difficulty to
speak. He was a wretched penman He
could not distinguish one melody from an
other; in fact. was almost an aphaslc. An
aphasic is one whose use and unders' and
ing of the spoken language is impaired
without afrect1y the intellectually. The
Bertlllon brain weight was 1898 grams.
The cerebral assures were tortuous end
ramifed.
The callosum. or thinking section, was
small, but the frontal lobes were large-a
saving grace. Bertillon was left handed,
and his left temple was the largest. Right

The brain. Of man and that of the high
apes, the orang, chmpanzee and gorilla

particulars. The gulf Of difference is not
seen until the medullas are compared, that

glossal nerve, or nerve which enables us
to make sounds by which sounds are con-
verted into speech by the genio-glossal
nerve and its fbres on the under side OF
the tongue. The hypo-glossal in man has
innumerable fibres; in the apes there are
none. Thus the adult ape has mind but
little different than that of a human babe.
Also In the ape brain there are whole
areas bereft Of gray matter, containing
only white matter.
Thus we know that the ape cannot

its wants, to pursue and to escape prey.
The gibbon, although classed by biologists
with the high apes, has no man-like brain
at all, or the apes, the orang must be
classed as the highest and next to man.

considerably less than a pound, measuring

Robert Schumann, the composer-pianist,

four attempted suicide. Two years later
he died insane. An examination OF his
brain gave a weight OF 1475 grams. or $50

ENACTING THE PURITAN SUNDAY.

The lobby that is endeavoring to estab-
lish the Puritan Sunday by means OF
Federal legislation has no intention OF
waiting for an amendment to the Constr
tuition of the United States.
1t has already found two clauses that
can be perverted to the purpose OF fanati-
cism and repression. One is the poet-roads
clause and the other is the interstate
commerce clause. and there are abundant
precedents for the further misuse of power
which the lobby contemplates,
Under the authority Of the interstate
commerce clause. the bill for strict Sun
day observance provides that no railroad
shall operate any train on the first day oil
tho week IN the carrying on OF interstate
traffic. nor shall any corporation engaged
IN interstate commerce or carrying on any
business under the laws Of the United
States engage IL any form Of business on
Sunday.
Under the authority Of the post-roads
clause, 10 postofiIce Is TO be open on
Sunday, no mail is to be carried or de
livered on Sunday. and TO newspaper that
is printed on Sunday or purportlng TO be
printed OF Sunday IS to be received, car
ried and delivered as mail. This would
make the Sunday newspaper or any part
of it unavailable on any day of the week.
The Sunday Observance bill which the
lobby has drafted is Of course only a first
step. After the District of Columbia has
been subjected TO the blessings OF a Puri-
tan Sunday, and the powers OF Congress
under the post-roads clause and the in
terstate-commerc clause have been ex-
hausted. g meek and sheeplike nation
