MAP OF THE BRAIN.

so it has taken many expert medical
scientists to explore the marvellous,
delicate and mysterious organ, the
brain. These expert explorers were of
different nationaiities, although most
of the work was done in London, for the
reason that the conditions there are
more favorable for conducting the
necessary experiments than are found
elsewhere. For example, from the fact
that in London ships are constantly ar
irving from the tropics and many of the
sailors bring one or two monkeys with
them, for their personal amusement,
it is not difficult to get together a col
lection of them for a small sum. In
fact, in no other city can they be OBJ
tanned at so reasonable price, and
since so many have been used for sci
entific experiments regular market

order to test their sense of taste. several
raisins were filled with quinine and

Such evidence as we have indicates
that the negro will not become fac
tor of importance TO manufacturing in
dustries, but will remain welded to
the soil. 1t is certain that soon, prob
ably within a generation, the manu-
facture of cotton and iron and steel
will, in large part, be moved south of
Mason and Dixon's line. The progress
of the south in manufactures is likely,
in the near future, to be extremely
rapid. 1t is equally probable that the
operatives in these manufactures must
be drawn from the same source as those
of the north, as the negroes cannot

could reestablish his former friendly
and confidential relations with him.
Having become so thoroughly sc-
qualnted with a monkey in his normal
state that he would be able to determine
the precise effect of the removal OF any
portion Of its brain. DIR. Brown pro
ceeded to experiment. The first sub
feet was a strong little jew monkey, and
a portion CT what is known as the tenn
poral lobe Of the brain was removed.
All known precautions were exercised
in performing and other operations,
and the same skill employed that would
have been IL the monkey had been a
man. The little creature survived the
ordeal, and the effect was carefully
noted. Fourteen days after the monkey
was chloroformed, and a cast Of its
brain made. The next operation was on
Rhaesus monkey with a keen sense Of
taste and fierce and resentful temper.
Although a portion Of both temporal
lobes of the brain was removed there
was no noticeable change in the senses
of taste, hearing or sight. So far as
could be determined by the closest OBJ
servation the monkey remained normal
in every way. When he had entirely re-
covered from this surgical operation. a
second was performed. and The right
posierior lobe of the brain was entirely
removed. He rallied from this opera
ton, and was well enough to enjoy his
food, and especially his favorte raisins,
which be seized eagerly when they were
so placed that he could see them. That
he saw them only when they were in
such a position that they could be seen
by the right half of each eye was evident,
as when they were removed beyond the
range CT the vision of the right half Of
his eyes he became perfectly oblivioLs
to them. AS this monkey tore the band
age from his head. and so exposed The
| wound. further observation was not
possible.
A similar operation on jew monkey
was more successful. In this case the
left posterior lobe of the brain was re-
moved The monkey lived eight
months after this operation. aud during
this time repeated tests proved that the
right half of the retiua of each eye re-
ceived and conveyed visual impressions,
while the images Of objects falling upon
the left half of the retina produced no
impression whatever. Another monkey,
Of the same variety. having had both
posterior lobes of the brain removed,
was found, when he recovered, to be
totally blind, but was not appreciabiy
affected in any other way. Still an
other operation was performed, which
