The report brought by cable
that the bruin of Gambelta when
examined by the experts was
found to weigh 1.100 grammes, or
less than 33 ounces, gives a. curi
ous interest of the moment to
the general subject of head
measurements, and especially of
brain-weights. "The brain of the
adult human male,"' we are told,
"comprising the whole contents of
the cranium as far as the occipital
foramen, will average in weight
50 ounees, and that of the adult
female about 45. The maximum
weight of the healthy brain is
about 64 ounces and the minimum
about 31. In cashes of idiocy it
has been found weighing only 20
ounces. "In men, according to
the commonly recid authority,
"there is no fixe-relation between
the size of the body and that of the
brain a small man may have a
large brain and vice veisn. Men
of great intellectual power have
generally, if not always, possessed
large brains, though the quality of
the brain is quite as important as
the quality." Broca place the
lowest limit of brain-weight com
patible with human intelligence at
30 ounces in males and 32 in
females, the average weight of the
European male brain being -19
ounces.
The X. V. World thinks the
farmers may think it worth while
to paste in the top of their hats
the rates and amounts of the du
ties which in 1SS1 they so hugely
contributed to pay to the govern
ment. This will help fliem to re
member the other enormous sums
which they paid as blood-money
to certain protected manufactur
ers by reason of those duties.
Here are the figures:
