Popular Science Monthly.
If, now, we take the models of four brains.
and on the first mark out the location Of the va
rious areas connected with the various sensory
organs as determined by the anatomical CON
nection of the white nerve threads, on the sec
ond mark out the location Of the various arms
which psychologists have shown to govern the
various sensory organs, on the third mark out
the various areas whose diseases produce dis
~turbance of action in the various sensory organs
and loss Of memories of perceptions by those
organs, and on tine fourth mark out the va
rlous areas which wither after disease Of the
upon all four brains the areas belong
therefore, conclude that each class Of sensations
and each class of memories has its own definite
area of the gray matter on the surface of the
brain.
Memories Of objects seen are located in the
posterior part of the occipital region. Memories
Of sounds heard are located in the lower lateral
part in the temporal region. Memories Of mo-
tions in the limbs and of the touch in those
limbs are located side by side in the central
lateral region. Memories of speech are located
in the frontal region. 1t is, therefore, a mistake
to speak of memory as a single faculty of the
mind. It is really an asemblage of distinct
memories which we possess. each kind of mem
ory being as different from the Others, both in
its nature and in it's location, as are the differ
emit organs of sense through which the original
PERCEPTION came.

coming up the stairway, which was narrow, and
if the figure was real, must have brushed against
1T 1t turned out, however, that no other woman
was in the house, and that the figure was phan-
tom Of the brain. Next day Mr.. Bee received
the news of his mothers death, which had oc-
CURED almosta at the precise minute at which he
saw the aDparition. On making inquiries, he
found that she died after being taken i'll in the
street, and was dressed somewhat in the same
way as the figure he had seen.
IN lmprobability that this was a mere
chance coincidence is so enormous" Professor
Barrett went on, shat it is hard to express it,
WIN anything like accuracy, in actual figures.
We will do so, however, roughly and in the fol
lowing way: Let US say that the percipient has
had only thirty years of intelligent life, and
during that time he has slept for nine hours a
day, He has then had 164, 250 hours of intelli-
gent waking existence. Now, in this space he
has had one apparition, which resembled his
mother, and was within a few minutes of her
death. Now, if we say only that it was within
the quarter OF an hour In which death occurred,
there are 657 600 quarter hours ef-life in which
that apparition might have come; so that the
chance OF its coming in the right quarter was
one IN $4,000. But this is. on the supposition
that the only apparition which could possibly APP
pear to him would be his mothers, or at least
one which resembled his mother in general as
pect as nearly as the phantom which he actually
saw.
Now, visual hallucinations, known to be
morbid, are by no means limited to the human
SAOPNs 0iAOy ~ EEObcoquCly NdEltu Ia ways W
numerous convention. But for the sake of argu-
ment, | am willing to assume-and it is a mon
strous assumption-that one-tenth of all phan-
toms actually caused are likely to represent a
lady in a black bonnet and shawl. The chance,
then, that an apparition of the right class-the
old lady class-would show itself in the right
quarter hour-the quarter hour Of actual de
cease-will be over 6, 800. 900 to /. That is to
say, in order to explain satisfactorily Mr.. Bees
experience on the supposition of accidental coin
cidence, it ought to be shown that there are
something like 6, 800, 900 adult Englishmen now
living who have had one single visual hallucina-
ton of a very distinct sort in the course of their
lives.
But we find that the proportion of hallucina-
tons that really betoken some a~gitating cause
at a distance, such as death, is 50 great that the
coincidence theory is untenable. We have on
our books 800 cases of well-authenticated
thought transference, In a large number of in
stances the percipient became aware of the de-
cease of a friend. Now. even if the figures on
which | have based my calculations were accu-
rate, and they really reduce the possibilities,
only one case of the sort would happen in the
whole lifetime of $500, 900 persons, assuming
that every person living had, during his or her
lifetime, one distinct hallucination, which hypo-
thesis is a tremendous exaggeration."

A St. Louis Literary Person.

POST L0nnger.
I became so much interested in one Of the hats
from the fact of its always being there; then /
sought out its owner. and in finding him came
across a curious bit of life history. The man is
a small, wizened, bald headed gentlemen, APP
parently about fifty years Of age, who reads
nothing but the newspapers. Not many years
ago he was a prosperous merchant, but reverses
and troubles came on him, and he brooded over
them until he fell into a suicidal mania. What
he appeared to think most about was what the
newspapers would publish about his death, and
he perfected a onsumm plan of self-destruc-
ton. 1t was prevented. but his reason did not
survive the ordeal, and he imagines that he has
committed the deed, and that there is a full ac-
count of it in the daily papers. He reads every
paper on file. and every one he can pick up, with
the idea that he will find his own suicide de-
scribed 1 in them. He is harmless, and is even
rational on other subjects, and never has re-
peated the attempt on his life.
