How the Brain Works.

Interesting results which. taken together
with those of investigators on the CONT
nent, let us see a long way into the IN
trlcacies of the brain, says the San Fran
cisco Call.
II has shown unequvocally. for exam
nile that A brain cell. which is the really
important part of the brain actually
loses part of its substance during acton.
The brain cells of persons and OF animals
that have died during Il period OF great
exhaust ton from overeXcrtion are found
to be greatly changed from the condition
of the normal cell during times of health
and vigor The cell of the exhausted
brain instead of being plump and full of
nervous matter, is found to be followed
out or ''vacuolated;" a cavity within its
substance having formed and being filled
with water. This means that part of
the cell substance has been actually con-
sumed druing the time of brain activity.
precisely as coal is consumed when one
gets heat from Il furnace.
II is found further. that if an animal
whose brain cells are thus exhausted is
rapidly rccuperatc. new material being
supplied from the blood until the vacuo-
lation has disappeared and the cell is
practically as good as new again. This
existence. During waking hours our
brains are literally worn away, and sleep
is the state during which the repair shops
of the brain make good the damage of
the waking hours. Thus the brain Of a
person who suffers from insomnia is in
the condition of locomotive which is
run night and day without going to the
repair shops. Disaster must ultimately
result.
1t is not sleep alone however, that
rests the brain cell, though sleep is alb
solutely essential to recuperation of the
brain as a whole. But not all parts of
the brain are involved in any one kind
of mental effort The blood supply of the
brain is so arranged that. by expansion
or contraction of different arteries, parts
of the brain may be flushed with blood
and other parts damned off. so to speak.
somewhat as the various currents of an
irrigated field are regulated by the gar
dener And as rapid flow of blood is es-
sential to great mental activity. this
means that one part of the brain may be
very actively at work while another part
is resting and recuperating.
Thus it is that a person suffering from
brain fatigue may leave his desk and GO
out into the fields, or on the highways
with a bicycle. and by diverting his mind
give the ovcrworke1 cells 4 chance to rest
and recuperate.
But it must not be overlooked that such
