published widely in the newspapers Of Eu-
rope and America.
II is not so well known. however, that
there is an active band of their followers in
New York, who continue 10 hold meetings
and issue different papers and tracts de-
signed TO convince the skeptical Of the
great truths OF theosophy. They are not
rich, and the notorious project OF building
a Buddhist temple in the city has never
gone further than to form dream in the
minds Of the promoters They have, how
ever, obtained means enough to fit up a
place, which serves for a temple, and the
place, singularly enough, is in an offic Q
building in one of the very busiest streets
In New York. They have hired ball for
their regular meetings, Mott Memorial hall,

The Library's Naughty Books.

Every library has its skeleton-in other
words, collection Of improper or immoral
books In the Boston Public library this as
sortment is hidden away in a series of modest
little closets, designated as the "Inferno" On
these shelves arranged in suggestive rows
are all such volumes as ought to bring a
blush to the cheek of innocence The restric-
tions upon their circulation are very rigid
indeed, for it would seem that there are lots
Of people who are always trying to get hold
Of something nasty in the literary way Al
most invariably they give it as an excuse for
demanding such books that they are going
through a course of English or French litera-
ture and are compelled reluctantly to peruse

task before them. So the attendants are
obliged to exercise considerable discretion II

The applicant for an objectional work is
usually asked to fill out a slip, giving his age

Endorsement of the librarian before the re-
quest is complied with "At the bindery" is

Psychologists speak Of death as occurring
through the cessation of the action of either
the brain or the heart or the lungs But
the brain cannot be regarded as an organ
absolutely essential to life, however neces-
sary it may be to its regular and systematic
course. The entire organ may be removed
from certain kinds of animals, and yet life
goes almost as perfectly for time as though
it were still there to dominate the rest Of the
body. The heart beats, the lungs respire,
the stomach digests and the several glands
continue to elaborate the secretions proper
to them, and not only all this, but actions
are performed which are well calculated to
excite astonishment in those who see them
for the first time and who have embraced
the idea that all intelligence resides in the
brain
Thus, for instance, if the brain be entirely
removed from the head of frog and the web
between the toes be pinched, the limb is i'm
mediately withdrawn; if the shoulder be
scratched with a needle the hind foot of the
Same side is raised 10 remove the instrument;
if the animal is held up by one leg it strug-
giles; if placed on its back-a position to
which frogs have a great antipathy-it i'm
mediately turns over on its belly; if one foot
be held firmly with pair of forceps the frog
endeavors to draw it away; if unsuccessful,
it places the other foot against the instru-
ment and pushes firmly in the effort to re-
move it; still not succeeding, it writhes the
body from side to side and makes a move
ment forward. l have seen a rattlesnake
| strike after its head was cut off, and viper
has been known to crawl straight for its hole
in the wall after suffering like mutilation.
Nor are such experiments the only evi-
dence that we have that life may persist
though the brain be absent. 1t sometimes
happens that individuals of the human species
are born without brains. In one instance OF
the kind life was present for six months
Though very feeble this being had the faculty
of sucking and the several functions of the
body seemed to be well performed. Its eyes
clearly perceived the light and during the
night it cried if the candle was allowed to 81
