A Race of Left handed People.

With us about one'person in fifty is
le%ft-handed. but as the popularity
may be hereditary. 1t is quite pos
sible that a race of left-handed people
may have been developed, although
preponderence of left handed individ-
uals III various parts of the world
have not been verified. Various
theories to account for right
handedness have been advanced. 1t
if we'll known that each side of the
brain is connected mainly with the
movements and sensations Of the
opposite side of the body, and DR.. r.
A. Lundie, an English physician,
gives reasons for believing that the
real cause of right-handedness IS a
kind of left brainedness. When the
power of speech is lost, it is found
that a portion of one side of the
brain only is affected. From this 1t
appears that the faculty of speech
rests in an organ of the left brain
called-after its Observation-Disclosures
convolution, but when the mental
faculties have not been otherwise in-
jured, it has proven to be possible
to restore speech by educating the
portion of the right brain correspond
ing to Broca's convolution. The nor
mally active speech centre, however, is
not always on the left side. La some
individuals it is the right side of the
brain that has been educated for
speech, and a singular fact is that
such persons are left-handed. DR..
Lundie finds it practically useless to
combat q strong tendency to left
handedness in children. But in such
cases the right hand car be made
nearly as expert as the left, giving an
ambidexterity that could be advanta-
geously taught the right handed as
well. Trenton (N.J.) American.
