Mege, of Paris, says the brain does not become fully developed until a man Is from forty-live forty-live to fifty years of age. Mr. Severn saye be has measured the heads of many prominent people from time to time and he haa discovered discov-ered by .nesns of these measurements that the head continues to grow at a considerably greater age than Is generally believed. Hy taking careful cranial measurements at various times of the same heads be Is able to give figures. He has. he Bays, taken measurements measure-ments and examined measurements of j more than a hundred thousand heads f during (he lant 25 years, and he has 8 come to the conclusion that Just so j long as tbe buman brain Is active j and kept vigorously at work, It develops and tbe head Increases, In very msny Instances, In size. |
