Keeping pace with scientific thought
and progress certain problems which
in the past have been shelved for want
of light being thrown upon them have
been taken up again one by one to undergo further examination by the aid
of improved science.
The newest revelation in this direction tends to the science of the mind
and includes the following problems:
Why does a man act queerly. _sasiec
he is intoxicated?
Why is a man absentminded on occasions?
Why does a man sometimes become
violently insane, often a dangerous,

‘There is some relation between extraordinary ‘activity of the mind and. _
insanity. Geniuses are apt to exhibit
‘symptoms of mental: alienation, and,
singular to. relate, their children are
usually inferior to those of average
For instance. not to go out of England for example, Cromwell was a
hypochondraic and had visions, Dean
Swift inherited insanity and was hims
self not a little: mad, Shelley was. call‘ed by his friends “Mad: ;Shelley,”
Charles. Lamb went crazy, Johnson
was another hypochondriac, Coleridge
was a morbid maniac. Milton was of a
morbid turn of ‘mind, nearly* approaching insanity (moderd ideas of hades}
are largely fornied on the description
evolved by -his diseased imagination).
and Byron said. he was visited by
. ghosts.
This mental alienation occurring in
the foregoing Cases shows that certain specific groups of brain cells have
come under the baneful influence of
the guiding spirit called talent or
genius, which has used up all the enSoot

Such questions as these have puzzled
our immediate fathers, who have hardly ever satisfactorily explained them
away or indeed thrown much reliable
light. upon them. The human brain is
composed of. cells, and each cell is a
simple bit of nerve substance, from
one-end of which, like an octopus,
spring a number of tentacles, while
from another part arises an arm different from them and of great length.
The long arm fs intended for transmitting impressions from one portion
of the brain system to another, It being made to touch the tentacles or
‘short arms of the next one to it, the
latter in its turn effecting contact with
a third cell, and so on.
Thus a message is conveyed and the
mind gets its*news. The entire brain
is made up of, these cells, whose number is legion and whose full strength
is grouped in systems, these systems
in turn being arranged in communi.
ties, the communities in clusters and
+ finally~ the clusters” in™ constellations,
by which divisions they are =o to
physiologists.
So. long as the mind Is te a healthy
. condition each little cell, or brain octopus, attends to its business faithfully and gives no trouble, but as man
generally is an animal who usually refuses to live the life spanned out by
nature and adopts instead the life laid
down by the modern artificial process
of living, instituted forsooth by civilization, mental disturbances frequently. arise through the brain becoming
abused, in various ways, from = overwork and. alcohol asia gpa .
‘Your octopuslike bramM cell is a living little thing, and it,can endure 8
great deal of abuse from you, but if
you should go a little too far it rebels
and refuses to work any longer by
breaking contact with its companion
cells, which it can do by withdrawing
its long arm and getting itself out of
circuit. But this rebellion is conducted’ by whole groups of cells acting to~
gether in full harmony.
Now, the object of this “strike” is
simply to avoid overwork, for each
tiny cell has stored within its minute
space only a certain amount of energy,
but if you put on the high pressure
this is easily consumed by the operation of the brain, and the organism
lreaks down from exhaustion. Now,
take the first of the problems just
stated. When a person takes too much
to drink, the cells in those patches. of
the brain that are responsible for the
conduct of muscular movement be
come affected and the man s@aggers.
When the dose is very large, the
cells, which, although stupefied, have
tried to keep their master on his legs,
now cease working, and the man sleeps
like one dead. Finally, if more thag
enough of alcoholic drink be takem,
the effect on the cells is to naralwme
of: cells, to the detriment of the whole,
with the result that their ceasing work
has brought about various types of
insanity as depicted or, to phrase it
more. softly, induced disturbance of
the mental equilibrium.
The remaining problem is absentmindedness. This is produced by a
temporary disjunction of certain
groups of cells). A man becomes 80
absorbed in his study of some particular ‘subject and lends his whole
mind to thought that the hard. think‘ing disorganizes the groups of cells
employed in the process of reflection
their tentacles being: turned all one
way, to the detriment of mental action generally, and so the man with
the tentacles of his brain cells turned

: He Won the Bet, \
A showman was making great
noise at the front of the exhibition of
“wonders” he had on show. A man
standing in the crowd, with a little dog
beside him, cried out:
“111 bet you a quid you can’t let me
see a lion.”
“Done!” said the showinan “eagerly.
“Put down your money.”
The man placed a sovereign in. the
hand of a bystander, and the show may
did the same. +
“Now walk this way.” said the showman, “and Il soon convince you.
There!’ said he triumphantly. “Look tn
that coruer at the beautiful Numidian
lion.”
“} don’t see any,”

“what's the matter with you?” asked the showman.
“I’m blind,” was the reply, and in a
few minutes the blind man pocketed

How She Knew.
Speaking of kindergartens for colored children calls to mind the experience of a “befo’ de war” matron who
was teaching one of the little darkies:
on her plantation how to spell.
The primer she used was a pictorial
one, and over each word was its “ccompanying picture, and Polly glibly
spelled o-x, ox, and b-o-x, box, ete. But
the teacher thought that she was making right rapid progress, so she put her
hand over the picture and said:
“Polly, what does.o-x spell?”
“Ox,” answered Polly nimbly.
“How do you know that it spells ox,
Polly?”
“Seed his tail.” replied the ant Pollv
