It is essential to use good seed and
suited to Ontario conditions. A
certain rose or a very fine Corn, for
instance, may give wonderful results
down in Virginia where the climate
is much milder or iu England where
there is little trouble with frost but
the same variety, if used here, will
not do well. Because of this un-
alterable condition the gardener is
well advised to obtain Ihis supply of
seed and plants from those sources
which cater to Ontario gardens.
Naturally, the seedsmen in the prov-
ince
rowince select their supplies to suit our
climate and conditions, and the fact'
that most of our seed houses have
been in business for a generation or
more is ample testimony of the suit-
ability of their selections.

oranium is becoming larger, and his
face is gradually becoming less prom-

case, stated Prof. J. C. B. Grant of
the department of anatomy of the
IJniveesity of Toronto during a re-
cent address at an open meeting of
the Royal Canadian Institute here.
Over a period of hundreds .of cen-
turies, as the brain of man increased
in power and capacity, it became lar-
ger, stated Prof, Grant. This ten-
dency may be proven by a compari-
son of the size of the cranial cases
of skulls of different stages of man's
development.
Professor Grant pointed out that
the brain of a man is larger than
that of a woman. He did not con-
sider, "however, that this could. alto-
gether be taken as proof that the
mental capacity of the male was just
that much greater than that of the
female. Brain sizes, he considered,
were to a certain extent proportional
to the size of the person to which
they belonged. He pointed out that
the brain of the elephant and of the
whale were larger than that of a)
man, but that this could scarcely bei
taken as proof that they had greater
mental capacity.
The unmistakable tendency of the I
jaw and of the facial portion of the •
skull to recede under the brain pan
was, in Professor Grant's estimation,
a result of the fact that the human
face has ,been relieved of many of its
duties her the hands. Lower ani-
mals, he. explained, must use their
jaws to accomplish clumsily many
