TESTS FOR THE BRAIN.
Indiana Scientist Expects to Locate
Parts Governing Muscles.

La Porte Ind, June 21--Professor
TaIbeFt of this city, who is now in Ger
many, has discovered way for a much
wider and more scientific investigation
of the action of the brain on the muscles
of the body than has heretofore been
known.
Tt has long been known that stimuia-
ton Of certain parts of the brain would
cause definite responses from certain
muscles of the body. Professor Talbert
has hit upon the plan of trephining
holes in a dogs skull which he will fill
with ivory plugs, to which are attached
eIectrode knobs resting on the surface
of the brain Wires are then attached
to a battery and the brain at that point
is stimulated at will The location of
that part of the brain governing the
hand, leg. eye, nose, etc, may be found
by this new discovery, and it is pre-
dicted that a revolution will follow the
development Of Professor TaIbert's in
vestigations.
