From the Philadelphia Press.
Prof. Wilmer, in his university extension
lecture yesterday morning spoke of that
important method of Investigating parts
Of the nervous system known as extirpa-
ton. A given part of the nervous system
is destroyed. and the animal is then stud
led to see what movements he is able TO
make without the activity Of the parts Of
che brain which have been removed. Even
all of the central nervous system above this
spinal cord may be removed in some ami
mails and they may still be kept alive
long enough to show what the spinal cord
is able 10 do without the brain.
THE frog, whose brain has been re-
moved" said Prof. Wilmer, lis still able
to draw his toe up toward his body when
the toe Is pinched, or If his toe Is placed
in acid he will remove the toe from the
acid or when q piece of plotting paper.
soaked in acid has been placed upon his
back he can even move the foot up over
the back to remove the acid. All this 10
done by the spinal cord alone, without
any sensation on the part Of the frog, be-
cause the frog, as a conscious organism,
has been destroyed Oy the removal of the
brain.
through the agency Of reflex centers lo-
Gated there, and a frog deprived Of the
parts above the medulla may
swim, turn over upon his bell
ly when placed upon his back,
and perform actions generally taken as In
dicative of intelligence but 1t is not neces-
sary to assume intelligence even when
more important parts of the brain remain
intact. If only part of the brain be rernov-
ed leaving the optic lobes and basil gam
glia intact, the frog IN moving away from
a stimulus will jump out Of the road OF
sees the obstruction, but because the Wis
ual stimulus acts conjointly with the
touch to produce the movement of swerv-
ing to one side.
I'VE may hastily conceive of the normal
frog as reacting as a nervous mechanism
acting under the influence Of environment
in accordance with the life habits of its
species, but such would be only a one
sided view of the relation of mind to the
development of habits of action. We know
more of our own mental life than we
know of the activity of our gangiion cells.
We really interpret the physiological ac-
ton of the brain by our knowledge OF
the action only of the mind. We know our
own states of mind which we designate
by the term volftion, and we know that
action performed under the influence OF
volition become habitual and automatic
In this they approach the reflex actions
which have previously been considered.
From this point of view we are justified
in believing that reflex actions were de-
veloped under the influence of the will.
but as the, nervous mechanism became
adapted and fit to perform the action alone

II Is that our habitual actions are often
performed by us automatically. iQYolun-

ROBERT GARRETT DEAD.
The ex-President of the b. and o.
Road Is no More.


Baltimore. Nd, July 29-Robert Gar
rett ex-president of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, and head of the
widely known banking house of Robert
Garrett & Sons, died this morning at
Deer Park, Nd.
Mr.. Garrett has been in poor health
since he retired from the presidency of
the Baltimore and Ohio system in 1887.
In recent years he has been mentally, as
well as physically unit to participate in
any business. and has seldom been seen
in public. His sister, Miss Mary Garrett
and his brother, Henry, are now the only
direct survivors of john w. Garrett, who
for many years dominated the Baltimore
and Ohio system, and harvested an enOr-
nous fortune therefrom.
MI Garrett went TO Deer Park about
six weeks ago and occupied the cottage
formerly owned by T. Harrison Garrett.
Mrs Garrett and other relatives were at
the bedside when dissolution came at 3
o'clock this morning. The remains will
probably be brought to Baltimore and in
TERED in the Garrett plot in Green Mount
cemetery.
Mr. Garrett was seriously i'll for only
about twelve hours. When he left his
home at Uplands, IN the mountains a little
over month ago, although quite weak,
his appetite was good and his physical
condition better than had been for some
months. Inc mountain air, greatly bene-
fitted him and his famiy's friends during
the first two weeks OF his stay there were
very hopeful Of his complete restoration
to health. At times he was very despond-
ent, however, and although he drove out
frequently nothing would relieve him of
this melancholy. He sought no society and
saw only members of his family and very
intimate friends.
His father, John w Garrett, died at
Deer Park, under similar circumstances
not quite twelve years ago.
Robert Garrett was the son of Henry
work Garrett, who was president of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad from 1858
until his death in 1884. Upon the death of
ms father Robert Garrett became presi-
dent OF the road, and held the office for
several years. But i'll health compelled
ann 10 give 1t up several years ago. Mr.
Garrett was born in Baltimore in 1S47
was graduated at Princeton, Travelled in
Europe extensively, and received his bus
mess training in his fathers office. He
was a director of the Baltimore and Ohio
curing his fathers presidency. and acted
president during his fathers absence. I'm
ger ms administration the railway and tel
tsraPh systems of the company were
largely extended. His residence in BaIti-
