Two Men One

r. Jones Monaghan. we'll known
man in eastern Pennsylvania who is
now on his way homo from Australia,
explains his wanderings by saying that
he was upset by overwork and insoln-
MIA. 1t is possible that he did not como
to himself until he had arrived in Aus
tralia and recovered from his nervous
arrangement.
This would not be first case OF the
kind. A man may be- literally beside
himself, in state Of double conscious
ness, yet order his movements SO intel
ligently that no one not well acquainted
with him will suspect, his condition.
His other sell would know we'll what it
is doing and yet BIO irresponsible for
what it does. On recovery the whole
time OF wandering might DO a blank,
probably would be, and the wandercr,
coming to himself in some distant
place, would be dazed with amazement
to find himself away from home.
Authorities on nervous disorders
have written -entertainingly on this
mental phenomenon. Mr.. Monaghan's
case seems to BIO an addition to tho
literature OF an interesting subject.
