really a series of sub-o ces carrying
out many actions which otherwise we
might be tempted to credit to the snare
of the brain.
If we divide the spinal cord of frog
and irritate the foot the leg Will De
moved, after the fashion in when the
uninjured animal would resent pelhs
tic4led Here we have separated the
brain from the feet, and yet control OF
the muscles of the leg Is not lost. mat
which the brain does in the frog appa-
rently is not so much to carry OUT
movements, but to initiate and control
them. If a frogs legs be allowed 10
come in contact with some weakly lrrl-
tating fluid the legs naturally VIII De
withdrawn after an interval, Time az
ter time the action will go on, I'LL we
can gauge fairly the period winch Will
elapse between the Withdrawals OIL the
legs and their descentss. H. now, the
spinal cord be divided below the brain,
we find these movements much accele-
rated. They proceed at quicker rate'
because the brain control is removed
and the mechanism of the animal IS
left, as it were, to run wild, like an en-
CINE from which the influence OF the
fywheel has been removed.
But we may find evidence that the
spinal cord Of the frog may control ac-
tions in a fashion that would almost
lend belief to the idea that 1t is much
more than mere brain deputy. Cut
off a frogs head carefully SO that there
may be as little disturbance of parts as
is consistent with the performance of
fla, !; "a
brain. of course, and all that Is left in
the body of the chief nervous system Is
the spinal cord. Now place drop OF
acetic acid on the inner side of one
thigh of your headless frog, and you
will see the animal raise the foot OF that
leg in the endeavor to wipe the acid OFT.
If, now you remove the foot of the
same leg. and apply acid. as before, the
leg will be again raised, but as the
shortened limb falls short of the irrita-
ted spot, the headless amphibian will
after an interval raise the other foot
and endeavor to rub away the acid.
This is a we'll known experiment. ana
its teachings are singularly instructive.
They prove to us that the spinal cord is
| capable of carrying out movements OF a
very complicated character, movements
| with a purpose, such as we should be
inclined to believe were controlled by
the brain alone.
Pass now to the case of the man.
Here, injury and accident, unfortunate
ly, supply us with a parallel instance to
that of the frog. If the spinal cord of a
man be divided, say in its middle part,
the lower half of his body is paralyzed
! He is unable to move it, and he has lost
all sensation in that half. But If the
feet be tickled, the legs will be drawn
up although the man is unaware he Is
putting his muscles into action unless
he sees the motions Of his limbs Here
we again come in contact with the idea
of the independence Of the spinal cord
We see that consciousness has nothing
/ whatever to do with the work OF the
cord, any more than. when we tickle
the foot of a sleeping person and the les
is moved, we can assert that he is con
scious of his action.-Ed Edinburgh Scots
