then insanity and idiocy would be in
stantly reduced 80 per cent. II is the
inheritance of the germs OF insanity from
drinking parents rather than from in
diligence in drink that produces insanity,
and in this way a man who drinks heaV-
lily and eventually becomes insane is
often enormously said TO have drunk
himself crazy, whereas his mental dis
ease which he inherited forced him to
liquor, and drinking was the effect rath-
er than the cause Of his insanity. Politi-
cal and religious excitement are also
productive of mental alteration and aft
er every political campaign here our
asylums are temporarily crowded. This
description Of insanity, however, usually
passes away when the immediate cause
is removed.

readily be discouraging. To an optimist
they are far from without encourage

DR.. Younger corroborated DR.. Wins
lows testimony as to the effects Of drink.
Said he: over 80 per cent. Of the entire
number Of lunatics in the world owe their
condition directly or indirectly to drink.
Fifty per cent. of the lunatics and i'm
beetles in European cities come from
drunken parents. The proportions of
drunkenness as a cause are hOrrifying.
In the great asylum at St. PETERSBURG
for instance, out of 997 lunatics admitted
during the year. SS7 were reduced TO that
state by intoxication. The less alcohol
used the less insanity exists Drink GER
tainly is the most formidable obstacle in
the way of eliminating lunacy from the
list of diseases. and If, as the people
hope, the present vigorous reform move
ment tending toward teetOtalism and
moderate drinking have good results
their effects will instantly be felt in the
reports Of our insane asylums. OF course
after the elimination of drink as a cause
there will still exist mental worriment
and anxiety, the perpleXity that is certain
to come TO all civilized people. But their
importance as a cause is comparatively
unimpOrtant, and il must be remembered
that if we are increasing In physical
strength as rapidly as so many great
specialists declare that we are then

we shall constantly grow less and less
susceptible TO the unfortunate effects of
these things. I do not think that insanity
will ever be wiped out: accidents alone
will see that there are always few
crazy ones among Us. but I do believe
that there viii be visible in future years
a great decrease.
4 Scientific PhrenoIogisi.
DR.. Edgar c.. Beall. originally from
Cincinnati temporarily a German and
now New Yorker. has given as careful
study to matters Of the brain as any
American The fact that his studies have
carried his opinions away from the beaten
track does not make them less interest
ing or less important. There are many
who disagree with the theories Of the
school to which DR.. Beall belongs, but
there are many who look upon its dis
coveries as among The most wonderful
that have been made by modern science.
Besides being a high authority on the
texture Of the bra IN and its anatomy,
DR.. Beall is a follower Of Gall and Spruz-
helm, the wonderful Europeans who
founded phrenolOgv He is the leading
scientific phrenologist Of the world. That
does not mean that he believes in tell
tale bumps or protIberances of the skull
as indicating character, but only that he
does believe that it is scientifically posi-
bic TO discover by studying the contour
Of a mans head what manner Of brain
is hidden therein.
1.-The bump idea" said DR.. Beall, "has
done more to hurt phrenolOgy than any
other one thing. 1t has been taken up
by quacks and incompetents because Of
the very fascination of the study. and
has to some extent brought the whole
science into ridicule with many people.
OF course. il is not possible that such
triiling nonsense should stop the progress
Of a truth as wonderful as phrenOlOgy,
but f. unQuestionably has retarded it.
Gall discovered the location of the brain
centers that are the seat of radical pri-
mary faculties by study Of such extra
ordinary developments as came under his
observation. An extraordinary develop
ment may produce protuberance on the
skull as instance the benevolence in
Abraham Lincoln. In ordinary heads,
that is SO heads cut of 100. phrenology
becomes a Study Of form, and the little
pr1tuberances which exist mean nothing
more than pecullarities % the skull itself.
In ordinary heads we do not look for
bumps, but study form and diameterS.
One reason why Americans fail to
catch this idea is because. n nation,
they are weak in sense Of form; that
faculty is located between the eyes. The
French are race of artists and are
broadly developed there. The Americans
are not, and the space between the eyes
is narrow. This is plainly shown by
the curious fact that opera glasses made
in Paris are always by far too wide for
the avera ge American eyes. If we were
built so that We fitted the Partisan opera
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1894-07-11

glasses we would be less likely 10 de-
pend for confirmation of phrenology upon
the existence of bumps on our heads like
pyramids i'm a desert and would more
easily catch delicacies Of contour"
New Talents TO Come.
After this brief discourse on phrenology
as a whole. DR.. Beall told some of the
things which twenty-five years study OF
ii make it possible for him TO predict Of
mental development. He said:
The whole tendency is upward. The
mental development Of the next century
will be complex and viii bring versa
tility on a higher plane than we have
vet known. We shan't have so much
talent for drinking beer and playing
base ball, but we shall have a much
higher talent for real progress and real
happiness. As the race learns 10 elimin-
ate those things which retard its upward
passage. new and more valuable tend
ancies will come 10 take their place.
This is the age Of practical progress. In
addition 10 the improvements which
make life more cOmfOrtable-better light
ing, better heating. better clothing. better
furniture. better railroads, better steam
boats, typewrit ers. monographs and the
like-there is a counterline no less real
in a higher sphere. Parents are begin
ming to ask what TO do with their child
rem When the maturity of a son or
daughter approaches, the question is
now. How can they marry best? One
hundred years ago it was, How can l
get my son to go to church and prevent
my daughter from dancing or playing
cards? The result IS larger mental de-
velopment and larger happiness. and the
higher tendency is gaining momentum
with every day. Happiness is the activ-
ity of all our faculties. People didn't
use to know that They didn't know
what faculties were.
The world has since its beginning been
ignorant of the brain and so of everything
that emanates from it. If you don't
know the contents of post box you can't
tell where the letters in it are going or
what effect they will have when they are
delivered. II is precisely so with the
pigeon holes in the brain. Each has
message. One goes to art: here's a box in
another part that sends 10 caution; here
10 the faculty of requirement; here's one
back here that fights for marriage and
the sacredness Of the freside; it is con-
stantly trying to offset the efforts of this
box down here in the basement Of the
brain, from which unworthy thoughts
look out TO ogle girls. The
tendency to develop the faculties
in the upper brain is increasing; the fac
ulties in the base Of the brain and about
the ear are growing weaker. The higher
our faculties are the greater will be our
happiness. The man who depends on
happiness which is only pleasure, al
though he may fancy himself in posses
sion Of the highest enjoyment, will be
cheated. Those persons who seek happi-
