NAVAL PARLEY IN LONDON.

HOPES OF OVERCOMING THE DIFFICULTIES.

London, May 7. British, French and Italian naval experts met at the Foreign Office to-day and exchanged views on the position of the naval pro- blem as it stands after the receipt of the Italian and British replies to the French Memorandum of April 20th.

The correspondence on the sub- ject brings out clearly the earnest desire of the three Governments to overcome the present difficulties and, with this end in view, the oral exchanges of views will continue.

It is expected that the meetings at Geneva next week will present an opportunity for direct discus- slon on this subject between the Foreign Ministers of the three countries. The French and Italian experts will leave shortly for Geneva, where some of them are due on the 11th instant.-British Wireless.

A MUSEUM OF BRAINS.

PROBLEMS OF WEIGHT AND SIZE

been A unique Institute has founded in Vienun-a collection of the brains of famous persons, art- Ista, delentists, writers, composers. etc., which are to be shown under glass at the now museum managed by Professor Economo. There will be sufficient space for exhibiting the brains of 1,000 persons, who are to leave them to the institute by will for the sake of research work. Professor Economo is sending an appeal to leading men of intellectual

ability to enrich his collection.

The measurement of weight will form an important part of the Museum's task. The average brain: of the Caucasin race weighs 1,367 grammes (man). 1,200 grammes (wonian). Perions of extraordi- nary gifts have heavier brains: Kant's weighed 1,650 grammes, Byron's 1,807, and Turgenleff' 2.012. However, the process is not quite reliable, for the record was made by an epileptic idiot, whose brains weighed as much na 2,850

grammes.

The shapes of both brains and skulls of geniuses and specialiats, such ля great mathematicians, chessplayers, musicians, and others. are to be made the object of thorough study.
