Gratifying SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION. =
If there is anything that we like in
scientific work it is clearness. When,
therefore, we read recently, in medical
volume, that "the thalamaoptici are the
essentials of the senstry tracts, as the
corpora starlata are of the motor" we
felt completely happy, because we per~
ceiYed at once, with stereoscOpic distinct~
ness, precisely what the author meant
What he means is, of course, that the
thalmioptical are the essentials of the
seustry tracts, as the corpora starlata are
of the motor. The information is especi
ally gratifying, because we must all be
impressed with the conviction that if the
thalamioptical had not been essentials Of
the senstry tracts, existence would at
once have become a disgusting and un-
endurable burden, and woman's love
hollow mOckery. As it is, we are flied
with holy and satisfying calm. -
