It you want to know how big a brain your best friends possesses take a pareful look at his eyes. You can find out about your own brain in the same way. If the eyes are larger than the average his brain is large. If they are smaller his brain will be smaller. This is a new theory that has re- cently been announced after long study of the comparative size of the eye and,the brain by a group of stu-| 1 dents interested in such things. The averagé human brain weighs three pounds, three ounces. A person with big eyes has a larger brain than that and a person with smaller eyes a smaller brain, according to the new theory. Some poet or philosopher announc- ed that the eye is the window of the soul. By the new method the eye. can also he taken as the weighing scales of the brain. The discovery of the relation 'be- tween the eye and the brain as to size came about in a very curious way. A fish gave the first evidence -that there was something in the theory. There are two kinds of fish' belonging " to the same spécies that are caught on' the coast of Brittany which were being used for some scientific experi- ments. There was a difference in"the size of the brains of these fish for which the investigators could not ac- count, although they knew there was also a slight difference in the intelli- gence of the two specimens. It was discovered that there was a difference’ in the comparative size of the eye to the brain—that the fish with the larger brain also had the larger eye. Careful examination was-madeof & number of specimens and the investi-' gators turned to other species. THey found that certain toads of totally different weight and size -had, nevertheless, practically the samesize brain and eye. mals and to human beings was but a short step and then the announce- ment was made. And the people who have made-this discovery claim that their work shows the intelligence of the braim, too. For instance, if a higher intelli- genee came from ‘a larger brain-the most intelligent thing in the world would be a whale. A ‘whale’s brdin weighs as much as 16 pounds. the elephant would be the next. be-. cause an elephant’s brain ‘weighs on; an average of 13:pounds, Bfi'v mmu THIS PAPER REPRESENILD FCK FOREIGN Be- midji stands ready to welcome that From ' toads” to' ani* And]| Him the r of Hia Fashion- able Hostess. A number of the members of the Metropolitan Opera company have laestly been recounting aun incident which has proved mirthtul to various students of human nature in the vi- cinity of Broadway and Thirty-ninth street, relates the New York Sun. It appears that Riccardo Martin while in Paris was invited by a fash- ionable woman to be one of a box party at the opera. The performance was “Goetterdaemmerung,” and it was Martin’s pleasure to be seated next tothe hostess. The Metropolitan ten- or, who believes that there is such a thing as opera etiquette, and greatly dislikes talk and bustle during per- formances, proved more interesting to his companion than the fnusic was to her. From the time the curtain went up till it descended at the last act the woman chatted incessantly in Martin's ear. ‘When the last strains of the orches- tra had died away and the throngs were leaving the exits the talkative one exclaimed: “Ah, monsieur, will you not accom- pany me next week to hear ‘Faust?’” “Thank you very much,” answered the tenor. “I don’t recall that I ever heard you in ‘Faust’ " Martii’s presence the following week 18 not recorded, CHEMIST-HAD NO DIFFICULTY, Man of Drugs Able to Understand Physician’s Writing, at Least to His Own Advantage. —— A story makes its appearance in Paris which will probably interest those who have tried to decipher doc- tors’ handwriting, both on bills and prescriptions. It concerns a gentle- man who had suffered from chronio gout for some time and finally went to a.doctor who appeared. to under- stand the case 80 well that he ex- pected a cure. The patient, in the excess of his gratitude, wrote to the medico, asking him to dinner. In due course the reply came, but in such undecipherable handwriting that the | recipient could not make head nor | tall of it. Was the doctor coming, or. was he not? i The housekeeper, used to the doubt- ful caligraphy of tradesmen’s bills, was called in to assist, but could make nothing of the letter. . She had a bright idea, however. “I must go shopping today,” she said, “and I will take the letter to a chemist, who will bé ‘used to doctor’s writing.” The idea was adopted, and the housekeep- er took it to the .chemist. “Can you make this out, please?” she asked.the apothecary. “Certginly, madame,” he repled; and disappeared with the. letter. jve minutes he returnéd—with a package in white paper, which he handed over the counter. “That will be five francs, please; with the bottle,” e sald:politely.

N “MAVW"B?M ‘While Meyndert Hobbema lived no one had any respect whatever for his pictures, not even the wonderful “Avenue at Middelharnis,” now in the National Museum in London; but he was admitt® to be a competent wine gager. If, after his death, some- one Who saw the genius in his works had gone to Amesterdam- seeking knowledge of him as’a painter, ' the good Dutch’ folk would probably have said, “Meyndert Hobbema? Oh yes, he tried to paint pictures. Foolish things indeed,—a pond full of ducks :and 'geese ,a mossscovered mill, - Hitle houses with red roofs, and sunsets— things anybody can see for hiniself,] mere daubs: Jakob Ruysdael tried to make a painter of him; but—"" Then perhaps the bored tone would give way to’one of lively interest, to the telling of something important. “He éscaped dying of starvaton in the strangest way. He had a busi- ness head after all, had Meyndert Hobbema. " “He married old Eltige, but maybe it was she who had the business head, for she was four or five years older than Meyndert and she had worked as a servant for the. burgomaster.” Eltinge had a girl friend who work- ed as servant to the burgomastér too, and she had great influence with him. It was arranged with this servant that, if she had Meyndert appointed wine gager he was to pay her out of his salary an annual pension of $100, unless ghe married and secured a sim- ilar position for her husband. The contract was drawn up all in proper form and signed before a notary, and the servant did persuade the burgo- master to givé Meyndert the position. There was not much romance in Meyndert Hobbema’s life: . ‘He - wasy born’ in Amsterdam in 1638 and’ was buried there in a paupet’s grave in 1709. So, it is seen, his work recetved small appreciation while “He’ lived; though now he and Ruysdael are con- sideréd the. greatest landscape paint- ers of the Dutch school. England discovered ‘his greatness more than a century after his death, and nine-tenths of his' works are found -in that country, because --the English collectors gathered -the land- | ths scapes before Holland awakened to their value. But maybe Hobbema had.a much better time than these few facts of his life suggest. Maybe he knew some- | "W, thing of the contentment and peace of his. picturs, which 80 admirably typify the Dutch character.
