Troubles of Polish Journalists.

The Russian authorities in Poland have
redoubled their vigor in connection with
the native press, No Polish editor may
any longer receive any foreign journal
or serial publication. Every year Polish
newspaper publishers were compelled to
send to the governor list of the journals
they wished to receive during the year;
but this list was often curtajled, and the
journals that were allowed To enter were
almost invariably defaced by the censorss
brush. This year the governor Of Poland
did not even deign to answer the petition
of the Polish journalists, and all their
foreign exchanges are SHUT off.-New
York World.

THE MENTAL "eLlND spoT.a
Or. Holmes Theory of thc,"idiotic Area
In the Organ of Intellect.

Or. Holmes Theory of thc'"idiotic Area
in the Organ of Intellect.
The analogy between the organ of Wis
Ion and that of thought is SO obvious and
familiar that it does not require illustra-
ton. Now, just at the entrance of the
optic nerve is a small circular area, known
as the blind spot. Certain essential ana
tomical elements are wanting in this little
space, and though the visual image is
painted on it, the picture is blank to
the perception. Is there not a blind spot
in the organ of intellect as we'll as in that
of vision-an idiotic area, where ideas
are represented, but not transmitted to
the intelligent center9 'sThink mo-
ment, y we say to friend who is enter
tanning some Ito us) self evident absurd
ity Paraphrased this would be: You
have got a bit of nonsense on your men,.
tai blind spot, your iliotie area. Sl4ift it
if on can into.a place .where.fhas mental
elements AFRO not. .deficient, as in that
e,apty. region
/ must appeal to the experience of
others if they are not conscious of such a
blind spot in their intelligence If they
recognize it as fact that they have such
surdities and contradictions in their own
field of thought and that of others. For
this idiotic area is the vacant lot where
inconsistent, incoherent, unrelated ideas
come together and disport themselves, or
| lie loose, scattered over it. Many simple
puzzles and idle fancies find their way
there and claim right Of domicile, until
awakened reflections drives them away.
Let me give an instance or two SEX
cuse me, said the barber to the lantern
jawed man, ''if l put my finger in your
mouth to press your cheek out" ''No,
no." said the man he was shaving. 81
am afraid you'll bite me." Dean Swift
mentions in one of his letters to Stella an
odd whim of his own: Il had my mouth
full of water, and was going to spit it
out, because / reasoned with myself,
how could / write when my inou,h was
full?" In the persons we call 'sabsent
minded" the idiotic area exte,ids over a
wider space than it covers in most indi-
viduals.
This theory-for 1 dare not announce
it as positive discovery-is very con-
venient application to cover ones own
mental slips and to account for those OF
ones neighbor. No person of good tenn
per and philosophic habit Of mind could
take offense at the question, politely
asked, ''Does not that view or that argu-
ment come from your idiotio areaf"
When John Stuart Mill suggested the
possibility of a universe where two and
two would make five, l should have
wished to hint in a modest and civil way
that this supposition had the idiotic area
as its natural habitat.--Oliver WeI,aell
