TIE HUMAN MIND.
Professor Appleton II. Lyon Gives De
scription of the Brain.


Professor Appleton p. Lyon, in his lee
ture on Wonderful Facts About the
Mind, gives the following interesting de-
scription OF the brain:
"It has 2,000, 900, 900 cells" he said.
Each cell consists Of millions and millions
of molecules and each molecule Is COM
posed of atoms. All these parts are united
TO each other by millions upon millions OF
little flaments, and these are carried on to
the other parts of the body, so that their
number is infinite. These filaments con-
stitute the white matter of the brain.
"Then, in addition to the brain proper
there are thousands of secondary brains, or
ganglia, all connected with each other ana
with the various organs of the body. Upon
these facts all modern theories of psychol'
ogy 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, 1.-The city of Lon
don, with its thousands of streets, its tens
of thousands of houses, with their millions
of rooms, and its 5000, 900 inhabitants
Imagine all these rooms connected by tele
