CHE SEAT OF INTELLECT IN THE
BRAIN.

After mankind had achieved the mi
al triumph of locating the brain as the
hrone of thought this wonderful think
ne animal, man, discovered that he
vas only upon the threshold Of the
rue mystery of intellect. There was
he great realm of gray matter, the curl
,usly creased mixture of blood vessels
md white fibres, wherein all the nerves
lad their final centre; but what was the
ecret of this remarkable organ? Was
t mere organ through which the
mind whispered, divine machine, or
vas 1t, after all, no more than the
highest differentiation of matter? The
chemist, especially the evolutionist,
lid not care to consider at all the ques-
ion of a spiritual intellect. To him
he brain was simply domain of ami
nal tissue; and he proceeded to map il
IF in physiological fashion, naming
IS ravines, lakes and promontories as a
.eographer might survey newly dis
1vered continent.
Is the brain, then, no more than q
typewriter of the senses? Such is the
heory of many men to-day. In this
pirit genius has been designed as
insanity, or, if not Insanity, as IL neurO-
,ath etic state of the brain; and DIR.
Ladden has even attributed genius to
dyspepsia, aud traced the brightest
thoughts of humanity to disturbed
,astric nerves. But, let us ask these
naterialists, how is it possible to trace
loaf of bread to an epigram? If all
he functions of the brain be but sen.
ory, modern human thought would
lave been impossible. The reported
discovery by Professor FlechsiS, rector
If the University of Leipsic, of four
lew centres in the brain, which are
lot centres of sense, is worthy of great
consideration; and If ultimately verified
will prove to be the most notable
,sycho-physiological triumph Of the
'entury.
DIR. Flechsig locates these four cen.
res in the forepart of the frontal cere'
orum, in the temporal lobe, in the rear
,arietal lobe, and in the lobule. These
.omplexes within the surface of the
,erebrum are said to be connected, and
o closely resemble each other, although
ESSENTIALLY differing from the other
PARTS of the cerebrum. These centres
IRE not present in the newborn child;
,ut when the inner development of the
centres of sense is completed, after the
bird month, the intellectual centres
,egin gradually to form, and more
lud more nerve fibres shoot forth from
he centres of sense into these new
egions, ending close to one another in
lie cerebral cortex.
According to the German neurologisl
hese "intellectual centres" or seen
res of association" concentrate the
activities of the organs of sense into
higher units, and are the bearers of all
hat is called cognizance, principles
md aesthetic emotions. 1t would be an
inwarrantable deduction, however,
ipon such an indefinite report, to speak
If these centres rs opposed to
he evolutionary principle; and, indeed,
hey may prove to be only the higher
development of the sensory functions.
vt all events, they probably represent
he essential difference between the
,rain of man and that of the lower au-
mails, and constitute his unique su-
,remacy as lord of creation.-Philadel.

Coal Mines and Health.
However much sympathy the exist
ence OF the workers in coal pits may
evoke from us, yet, says the Hospital,
the actual result of the life on the ply
sical welfare of the miners is by NO
means such as to warrant any serious
commiseration at our hands. Indeed
ii one may judge from the physique of
the underground toilers of the Black
Country they present an appearance
more provocative Of envy than of pity.
Disease is no more demolishing in its
raids among them as class than it is
among the agriculturists and laborers.
Ii one can be guided by statistics, the
coal dust atmosphere in which their
life IS passed is no element of any seri.
Gus evil to them; it may not be pleas
ant, but it is not unhealthy; indeed,
the actual death RITE of those miners is
not abnormally high, even when it in

which occur from time to time in the

moters of the coal strikes NAV
have to substantiate their theories the

that the overland mail was generally
well loaded with valuable matter.
This seemed to have been the opinion
of three enterprising citizens of New

when the stage came to a sudden stop
in one of the widest spots in all that
country. and the muzzles of three
rifles appeared at the stage windows,
with a rough and tough looking man

the man ordered US to tumble out on
the double-quick. We did not tres

these gentlemen, who seemed to be in

Then We were ordered to stand in
line, front face and close dress, and to
hold our hands above our heads, all of
which was done with military prompt

citizens was set to guard US, and to
