Certain fundamental differences of character seem to exist between men and women, and "the lord of creation" —as he sometimes calls himself—is apt to ascribe them to the brain. This theory, he feels-, carries with It the privilege of monopolising the morning paper, and of answering with an air cf authority questions of which he knows quite as little as his wife. An iftgUsh scientist, Alexander Suther land, has studied this problem in its physiological aspects, and his conclu sions are interesting to men and wo men alike. From a comparison of trustworthy statistics, it appears that the brain of the average man is about one-tenth larger than that of the aver age woman but on the other hand. If the ratio between the slie of brain and body be. taken into consideration, man's brain comes out second best Happily, however, male intelligence has a loophole of escape from the nat ural inference from this fact The smaller animal always has the larger proportional brain. A cat has more brain in proportion to its site than an elephant and a baby's brain Is five times the relative siie of its father's. Woman has, however, other lines of defense. All mental activity finds its origin in the thia outer layer or cortex of the brain. On every square inch there are some tea millions of minute cells, the instruments of mental en •ergy. Might not a more just compari son be based on a consideration of these cells? Perhaps, but no observer has yet shown that sex makes any dif ference in the number, development or vital energy of these brain elements. CONTEST NOTICE. Department of the Interior.
