90 pounds of honey from every hive. and
who has not a prospect of taking twice

intended wholly to criticise the officious

Prominent Eyes

You wouldn't think that the eye had
much to do with language, would you?
But it has, and the connection is a
direct one.
No, it has nothing to do with read
ing. The connection is the almost di-
rect physical contact of the eye with
that portion of the brain in which are
seated the linguistic abilities.
This part of the brain is, right be-
hind the eye, and in an overwhelming
ly large number of cases that you see
the eye protrudes. more than usual
simply because of the greater size
of this portion of the brain behind it.
The development of the brain at this
point literally takes up some of the
room that otherwise would be occupied
by the eye and pushes the latter out
ward.
1t does not follow, of course, that all
persons with prominent eyes are ora
tors or accomplished students of Ian
guages. A great many of them know
more than the average Of their own Or
any ether language. This is simply be-
cause they have never seen fit nor had
occasion to develop and make useN of
their more than normal capabilities in
the realm of speech.
The principal manifestations of this
capabilitY are in sharper powers of
memorizing and differentiatinE be-
tween the sounds of words. They are
powers which have more to do, really
