It bee been discovered recently from tba measurement of thousand of European skulls that tbe Scolrhmau haa tbe largest brain and tbe Engllahmaa tbe second la alia.

South African negroes and Malaya hava more brain matter than Mexican. Very low down In tbe aeelc are th Hut ten tots, North American Indiana and tbo native Australians, and at tbe very bottom is the Andaman Islander. A Scotchman'! skull holds 1.5W centimetres of water, end tbe Englishman'! holds 1.570; a German's only 1.4.10, and when we come down to tbe Andaman binder we have a capacity of only 1,100. Tbe rraalal capacity certainly varle with the Intellectual status, being lowest la the negroes, medium In tho yellow race and at It maximum ia lb white; while the Insana have ou an average a very small ahull. Th gorilla, whose body Is about the alae af a as much brain matman, baa only a third ter. The discovery has been made. It I reported, that women are growing less god less Intellectual la comparison with men. In skulls of prehistoric times the differenra m capacity between male and female skull cubic centimetres, while at was niiir'y-flvpresent It Is from 140 to 220 centimetres. Anuther Interesting discovery is the fact less that the female gnrllla Is Just aa much brainy than tbe male as prehlstnrlc wnmea were s than the men. Of ennrse, these mensnremenla are averages, for there ire themnine wen with bra bis enough selves and thrlr wires, while there arc at hers who have less than tb gorilla. le-- fr A Tribute neii-eaar- I eonai-natlve- , to Mrs. Langtry. pretty atory is told by one of Joaquin between tha friends of a Tom of tb Rlma" and Mrs. Langtry. fl!e was stepping at tbe borne of mutual friend In Baa Francisco, wbo waa anxious to together.
