Diference Between Sevages and Races Long Civilized. Prof. 'Frederick W. Mott; lecturing be- fore; tate Royal Institution of Great Bri- tain on "The Brain," said tiza:t although in 88 per Dent: of the cases in which the brains of great men have . been weighed the weight" was above the average, brain weight itself .did always. mean brain quality:" . , When there 'was lack of the function- ating tissue, the lecturer explained, the structural material might receive .more than its normal share of nourislunent, and the extra weight be due to over- growth 'of "brain scaffolding.' This ae- oounted /or the very large and heavy brains sometimes found in congenital idiots. Pointing out that the brain weight of a race long civilized surpassed that of aboriginees, the Iecturer stated that whereas the ordinary European hospital patient had a heavier brain. than a sav- age, the Chinese Coolie laborer's brain de- veloped by eenturies of use, weighed lea ounoes more than that of the European hospital patient. Referring to the relative brain weights of Caucasian men and women, Prof. Mott saki that the female brain had a goed start, weighing nearly PA ounces more than the male brain at birth. In adult life, however, the average man's brain weighed about 51a. ounces more than the woman's. The average weight of the European male brain was 2 pounds 15 ounces 9 drams to 2 pounds 10 ounces 0 drams, and of the female brain 2 pounds, 10 ounces 11 drams to 2 pounds 10 ounces 14 drams.

Brown, president of the :New York Central, spent a eonsider- able time in the farming districts, nota- bly of the southwestern part of Iowa, and was much impressed with the hold the automobile has secured among them and its effect upon the roads of that section, "It is remarkable," he said, iib talking of his trip to a reporter, "to notice how the farmers are buying automobiles. Only a little while ago the, average Western farmer would as soon think of buying an automobile as he would of hiring the Flatiron Building for a cow barn.

" "I am fit then for a day's work and my horses are tem in eond]tion to do whatever is required of them. Three days' work of myself and a team of horses are thus saved each week.' "In the old days when there was a bet slew in the road through which a;' loaded wagon could not .be pulled by one team the farmers simply hitched on an- other team and dragged it through. •Naw these places are fixed up as on as they develop.

MOTORING FOR TUE GLORY OP GOD. The other day, at the meeting of the Presbytery of Hamilton; attention was ealled to the fact that a "chetah member and cotnmunieant" had desecrated the Sabbath by motoring several miles to church, although he had places of wor- ship close at hand. The offender made his peace by explaining that he had motored on the Sunday "for the good of the church and to the glory of 'God." Twenty years ago such an irregularity would have been censured and the cul• prit would very likely have been excom- municated for a season of repentance and reformation. l/linar'd's Liniment Cures Listemper, To deal honest yt t ro is not so difficult.

The first line to be taken in hand will be, in all probability, that be- tween ;Kiruna, the centre of the great iron ore fields of Lapland, and Riksgran- sen, on .the Norwegian frontier, a dis- tanoe.of about eighty-one miles. tThe adoption' of electric traction on his line, far above the arctic circle and the most northern railway in the world, will be an event of considerable import- ance in the history of electricity, and cannot fail to stimulate in sharked de- gree the demand for similar action ' in respect of other' Swedish railways, Nor will it be without value as a practical illustration of the unbounded potentiali- ties of Sweden's wealth of waterfalls, not limited to a few specially favored regions, but at hand and only awaiting development to benefit every province. —Cassier's Magazines ADVANTAGES OF THE HIGH -WHEELED AUTO.
