FACTS ABOUT THE MIND.
PROFESSOR APPLETON p. LYON GIVES
DESCRIPTION OF THE BRAIN.

Professor Appleton +. Lyon gave the nrst or n
series of four psychological talks yesterday after
noon at the home Of Mrs Gilbert f.. Jones. NO 222
Madison-ave. The lecture was on wonderful
Facts About the Mind"
Professor Lyon began with description OF the
brain. .
''It has two thousand million cells, he said
Each cell consists OF millions and millions oil
molecules and each molecule Is composed OF atoms
All these parts are united each other by millions
upon millions OF little hlaments. and THESE are
carried on 10 the other parts OF the body. so that
their number IL infinite. These flaments constr
tute the white matter OF the brain.
Then in addition to the brain proper there are
thousands OF secondary brains. or gangla. all
organs OF the body. Upon these facts all modern
theories of psychology are based.
To enable his audience TO get an idea OF the
nature Of the nervous system, Professor Lyon gave
the following illustrations:
Imagine" he said. the city OF London. with us
thousands of streets. its tens OF thousands OF
houses with their millions OF rooms. and It's hVe
million inhabitants Imagine all these rooms con-
nected by telephone wires. and then imagine a
tolegraphic system connecting London with the
other cities OF the world. all these having tele
phone systems such az nave Just ~ J hor
lets of the world all connected WIN eaCLl o'nsi
and all sending their main lines TO LONDON anu
you will have some faint conception o' ,Ir Co III
plexity of the nervous system. London being the
brain and the other cities the ganglla 81,

NOTES on VALENTINE DAY, FURNISHED
FOR INVALID FANNY"

Long long ago IN Persia. there was day AKIN
TO St Valentines Day. 1t was day In FEBRUARY.
when the madens were allowed 10 express their
love for a youth. Curious enough II is that II
should have been in February. the same month
that to-day grants similar rights in leap years
The angel who was considered the guardian of
naidens granted special favor TO those marriages
brought about by the feast Of Nerd gran. as the
celebration this day was called.
Tho custom was I'm early days for the maidens
each TO choose her best friend on ST. Valentines
Day and this changed gradually under the infu-
euce Of the priests TO a choice by the people OF a
patron saint for the year to come win men. TOO
the custom OF drawing their best girIs name
from boxes changed ana saints names were sub
sti,uted. Thcse papers drawn from the box; were YER,
often highly ornamentcd, and were worn ny VIC

For many years Norwich, England. made st.
Valentines Day a regular Christmas In It's ex-
change of gifts. At this time however. there was
more secrecy. The presents were often great pieces
Of furniture and were sent the of Valen-
line Day. This tntimated that the suit had not
been accepted and expressed great modesty on the
part Of the lover.
Nowadays paper valentines. sachets and more
dainty gifts express the sentiment desired. Val
entinos death had in It nothing comic or sent-
mental, yet in both of these directions the verses
of the day run. For example:
Oh could you the melody
OF every grace
And music Of her face.
You'd drop tear;
Seeing more harmony
In her bright
Than you hear.
