BRAINS SIZE DOESN'T, COUNT,
Men With Small Ones May Have
Larger Mind Capacity Than -.
Many Others.

As the action Of the brain has not,
~ yet, been seen by man, no one at
present knows just what it is, beyond
Its merely physiological or mechanical
substance. 1t is said that the brain
Of the normal man contains over 8OO,-
100000 cells, and that about 5000 are
destroyed every minute. If this 10
the case then a new brain appears
about once in sixty days. The normal
brain has q volume Of 50 to los cubic
inches. The brain Of the Anglo-Saxon
and the German, and Of other CIV
ilized nations, averages the larger
number, while the negro brain &C.
cupies a space of about SO cubic
inches, and some Australian natives
have brains Of only about So cubic
inches. The male brain is about 10
per cent heavier or larger than that
Of the female. The most intelligent
animals have only about sixteen
ounces Of brains. The size of the
brain, If it is not below normal, does
not appear to influences the intellec-
tuality Of its possessor. Men with
small brains may have larger mind
capacity than some OF those possess
ing brains weighing several ounces
more. 1t would appear then that the
size of the brain, uniesstit be unusual
" small, has little to- do with its
quality.-Seattle Daily Times.

out always downhill aOften. that
helps to make the hauling easy, but
sometimes the grades are so steep
that it makes it too easy-so easy that
it entails difficulty. Indeed, In these
instances the term, hauling is a mis-
homer, for that implies pulling the
load, and the operation actually con-
sists in pushing against the load in
stead Of pulling 1t. Two and half
