Where Does C0nsciousness Residea


We have outlined the structure of the
cerebro-spinal system, and have stated
what is fairly set down as established
concerning the functions of this sys-
tenn up to the cerebral hemispheres.
With respect to the presence Of con-
sciousness in the parts already exam
ed, 1t is plain that opinions radically
differ. Some maintain that conscious
ness is not manifested apart from the
action of the cerebrum, that all nerve
activities below this organ are reflex,
their only distinctions being in the mat
ter of completely. Others are equally
positive that consciousness accompan-
les all nerve-actions, while still others
assert that certain organs below the
cerebrum-viz., the pons Varolii, cere-
bellum, optic lobes-form q sensorium
commune where consciousness In some
form appears. 1t Is my opinion that
this last conclusion has not, as yet,
been established or refuted. l regard
il as the most rational of the three in
the present state of knowledge. II we
accept it, we must recognize at the
same time distinction between ele-
mentary consciousness and the full con-
seriousness of an intellectual operation.
Many facts in every ones experience
bear out such q distinction. We are
often conscious without knowing the
object or occasion of consciousness; be-
ing half-aroused, we feel rather than
perceive. 1t is possible, and from the
evidence it is even probable. that pro-
vision for this rudimentary conscious
ness is made by the nerve-masses be-
tween the medulla and cerebrum.
Whatever conclusion we adopt re-
speeding this matter, the significant
fact remains that consciousness Is GER
tain to appear in connection with nerve
matter; sooner or later the question of
a strictly materialistic Interpretation
must be faced. After ascertaining the
present state of the case with regard to
localization of functions In the cere-
Drum, the induction must be drawn az
to the nature of tho relation between
nerve-matter and consciousness. Grant
that this induction shall be more or
less speculation, we need, think, to
remember that all reasoning Is specu-
lative, from the nature OF the case
speculative, and that the only distinc-
ton between credulity and reasoning
is this, that credulity Is beyond both
the facts and contrary to the facts,
while reasoning is beyond the facts
but according to the facts. Professor

For he had turned away coldly, and
refused to grant the caress. Then he
left the room and the house, left with @
cloud upon his brow, and q cold numb
feeling In his heart.
Three o'clock found Clarence Mont
gomery at the upper city park. And
lest he should be seen and recognized,
he had stopped to the deception of a
disguise. He peered about among the
groups of people, walking or sitting
in pleasant converse, but no trace OF
the woman he sought and the Paul
whom she expected to meet.
He waited until 1t began to grow
dusk; then, with strange despair
closing in upon his spirit, he went
home.
Ethel was there before him; but she
was reading letter. letter which
she thrust into her pocket with guilty
start at his unexpected appearance.
Later in the evening tho bell rang,
and the servant announced "a gentle
man to see Mrs. Montgomery"
Ethel grew very pale. then flushed
She arose hastily and went to the
drawing-room.
Half an hour passed. Clarence
Montgomery, sitting with newspaper
in his hand, but not seeing or needing
one word of the printed matter before
him, was startled by the sound of hasty
footsteps.
The door was flung open and Ethel
appeared before him, perfectly radiant.
In her hand was q small package,
which she deposited upon the table be.
fore him.
Clarence" she cried gayly, "I've
been keeping a secret from you fol
weeks-a weighty secret too"
"Does 1t concern Paulp" he sneered
angrily.
To his establishment, instead of be.
ing overwhelmed with confusion, his
wife burst into peal Of musical
laughter; nm,
as soon as she could speak Of merri-
ment. "See here, Clarence, do be-
lieve that you found my note after all,
and that you have been jealous-ac-
tually jealous of Paul Kingston, my
hero! For you did not dream that you
had an authoress for wife, did you,
sweetheart Nobody knows my secret
but Aunt Mary; she has been going
with me to the publishers in connec-
ton with this business; she went there
with me this afternoon. / wanted so
much to surprise you, 80 I waited to
finish my story, and make sure 1t was
accepted before told you. 1t is q Sc.
rial story. for one of the first literary
journals published here. Tonight,
Mr.. Audley, the publisher, called here
himself to pay me-there Is the money,
Clarence-and he says he will accept
all the work of equal merit that may
choose to furnish him. Look in my
eyes, my husband, and say that you
forgive me for keeping this secret"
"And 'Paulp-and tho upper city
park'p" faltered Mr.. Montgomery,
feeling decidedly small at thought Of
those long hours of weary waiting and
watching incog.
She laughed heartily.
"When you read my story you will
see 1t all there" she cried. The scene
is laid here in New Orleans; and,
darling, though did write it myself,
the story is charmingr'
And to this day Clarence Montgom-
cry keeps, as a secret of his own, how
he spent three mortal hours in the
park, as sole performer in private
masquerade.

what 10 Read and How

The essential point in book Is that
IL be interesting, but then IL must be re-
membered that many books require
sharp attention to show how interesting
they are, and that one which seems to
us dull and difficult, when we are tired,
may be delightful when we come to it
fresh. We should have some easy books
for sick or weary hours, but not many,
for the object of our reading should be
not merely to amuse, but TO enlarge
our horizon Of feeling aud knowledge,
and to make us more eager for active
goodness and right thinking. There is
inspirited study in the lives of great men
and women which remind us
1--WE may make our lives sublime,
and show us what difficulties they met
and conquered in their walk through
this same world In which we are strug-
Cling. Their victories, their mistakes,
and, alas! sometimes their very failures
help us bear mp against trouble and
overcome the temptations Of Incidence
and sin, and that the story is true
makes it more helpful
And then history, read rapidly. and
with the map close NJ hand, so that you
feel its reality, is OF immense interest.
By all means, | would say to Il begin
ner, read first those that are graphic aud
brilliant, even IL, like Macaualy's, they
are too partisan and rhetorical, for when
you are once reused to the subject, and
begin to know something about it, you
will relish even dry account which gives
you facts and ideas that you have learned
to want, and know how 10 place and
use.
And fiction, the dear delight Of the
human mind from its earliest records, and
stin loved best in youth-what u power
full lever OF character it isl How do it,
imaginary lives OF imaginary persons
work upon us with love or hate, with
emulation, laughter, pity, or contempt
and often, by the dramatic force of thei
presentment, produce an effect upor
our hearts far greater than the mos
labored essay can achieve! 1t is a shame
to convert such an influence for goO(
into minister of evil, or even Of folly
and frivolity, when we can gather within
fifty years such a list of novclsts
stamped with the best public approval

a STRANGE MONSTER.
Appearance of a School of Devil
Fish Near Galveston.

GALVESTON, TEXAS, Aug. The
appearance of school of immense devil
fish, never before seen in these waters,
the past two weeks, has had the effect
of nerving the community toward their
capture, or at least driving the monsters
back into deep water. The bold APP
proach OF the fish to shore, coming
directly up to both piers, prevented
timid bathers from enjoying the every
day luXuries OF the surf, while the more
courageous ones hesitated risking a
contest with the unknown creatures.
Shooting apparently produced no results
on the tough skin OF the fish, which
continued disporting themselves within
close range, as il bullets We're their or
dmary diet.
Finally the fish sought the sea and it
was thought they had gone for good,
but they returned again. This time
they were met by crew OF old whalers
and one of the smaller ones was sue
cessfully harpooned. The fish headed
for sea at terrific speed, carrying the
boat and crew with Il until they east
