You see very clearly demonstrated how poor is the mental apparatus of the average man. No wonder it is difficult to get Europe on to a basis of common sense when homo sapiens has such a limited brain-box. "I'm staking on the number 13 now," says one. "The number 13 has not come up for thirty-four times. It's almost bound to come soon." "Why's that?" "So as to correspond to the theory of chances."
Forgetting on the one hand that his right arm had been replaced by an iron hook, and on the other that a simple gutta-percha cap covered his brain-box, he had given himself a formidable blow. They hurried toward him, picked him up, restored him to life. And what were his first words? "Ah! trebly brutes! quadruply idiots! quintuply boobies that we are!" "What is it?" exclaimed everyone around him.
'Animal, that shake your belly-bag and brain-box, stand! cried the Greek, who desired to see Luigi standing firm that he might inspire himself with confidence in his integrity. When Luigi's posture had satisfied him, he turned and went off at great strides. 'He does pay, Luigi reflected, seeing that immense virtue in his patron. 'Yes, he pays; but what is he about?

The animal lives in West Equatorial Africa, and it is a veritable giant in bulk, though its height may not exceed five feet six inches. The heavy ridges over the eyes, the upturned nostrils and triangular nose, place it near to the orang-outang, but it is superior to that form in its relatively greater brain-box, and in the fact that its heavy lower jaws do not protrude so greatly.
By the powers o' the holy Virgin but it's me pity ye have that none of ye can show the likes in your stables. By the gray mare that broke King Charlie's neck, it's the head of him holds brains enough to distinguish ten average hunters, brains no ordinary brain pan could hold; an' it's a brain-box shape of a shot sock makin' the disfigurin' hump below his eyes.
