EFFECTS OF CLIMATE.
Health nail Knernj I'loui-lnli Ih-Kt In
tlie Temperate Koiuqi,
Grant Dexter in bis book on •■Weath
er Influences" says that "inhabitants
of list climates are usually listless, un
inventive, apathetic and improvident.
An equable high temperature, ('special
ly if moist, weakens body and mind.
No long established lowland tropical
people is a conquering race in tlie
broadest sense of tlie word. Fur tlie
inhabitants of the higher altitudes,
even under the tropical sun, tills may
be true, for as we ascend the tempera
ture lessens about 1 degree every 270
feet on ail average, and even at tlio
equator we may have a temperate
climate. The most, favorable tempera
ture for health, which carries with it
an aggressive energy which leads and
which lias led the world inarch of civ
ilization, is about 45 degrees on an
average, and tins is found In the tem
perate races. From there have come
the brawn and brain of martial con
quest and intellectual attainment. The
dominant peoples are shown between
tlie latitudes of 25 degrees and 55 de
grees.
"During the London fogs and on days
when tlie weather is particularly de
pressing in the Bank of England cer
tain sets of books, an error In which
would be cumulative and produce dis
astrous results further on, are locked
up and the clerks set to tastes less In
tricate and important lu character.
Experience lias taught those In charge
that the percentage of error Increases
many fold during such climatic condi
tions and that It Is money In pocket
to yield to them. The same necessity
for cessation of certain lines of work
during lmd 'spells of weather' is recog
nized by tlie larger hanking institu
tions lu New York and tlie other east
ern cities.
"It lias been the universal experience
of the superintendents of prisons and
asylums for the Insane that the per
sons in their charge varied so marked
ly with the meteorological conditions
that no man could doubt that the rela
tion between the weather and emotion
al states was any other than that of
cause and effect. When asked, how
ever, what definite conditions of the
weather tended to he the most pro
ductive of emotional abnormalities no
satisfactory answer could he made."

surprised liow well you do.
It Is one sign that you are all right
when you believe that others are.

HUMAN BRAINS.
The Difference Ileiween Those 4»f
tlie Mule mill Female.
The female brain in human creatures
Is smaller tlmn that of the male and
it is also lighter. The difference in
weight is considerable. The a eerago
man's brain is between four and
five ounces heavier than the average
woman's. The reason, it may he said,
is Unit the woman herself is smaller
than tlie man in size and weight. That
accounts partly for the difference, hut
not entirely.
The diminished size and weight of the
brain are said to he a fundamental sex
ual distinction in the human species.
It is not peculiar to civilized men and
women, hut is found universally
among savages, wherever sufficient ob
servations have been made.
There is said to he also a difference
of balance between tlie various parts
of tlie compared brains. The occipital
lobes, which preside chiefly over the
physical functions cf the organism,
are declared to he more voluminous in
the female than in the male, a physio
logical fact which is contrary to com
moil belief.
It appears to he unquestionable that
in purely intellectual endowment the
man is superior to tlie woman. On the
other lined, In the equally noble emo
tional capacity the woman in superior
to the man.—Home Advocate.
