small Plastic Judgements.

That insects think Is the belief OF a
French neurologist who has been max.
Ing careful observations OF ants and
bees He thinks that, between the
IDEAS OF the naturalist who regards In.
sects as mere automatons and those OF
the man who treats them us humanity
Intelligent, there Il happy medium OF
common sense. and this he has tried TO
attain. Tits observations teach him
that, although most OF the acts OF In.
sects can BE- explained by instinct.
there remain what he calls small
plastic judgments" 10y which they
avoid difficulties and steer their way
beyond dangers. The directive faculty
OF bees especially and their wonderful
memory for places can hardly be- ex.
plnined on the theory OF automatism.

THE TRIc -
Sa.e which Essapes us.


The anatomy OF the nervous system.
and consequently its physiology, was
regarded In the past as very simple.
Cayal showed that the specific brain
cell Is an independent unit provided
with multiple processes. by means OF
which II Is capable OF acting not
through one nerve alone. but several.
This independent brain unit or cell Is
called neuron. A simple Illustration
OF how the neuron works Is furnished
by our not infrequent hunt for name
or an Idea which we know we possess
We feel that the name Is there. but we
cannot recall IL. We get various names
near II, beginning even with the same
letter or the same vowel sound, yet
only after minutes or even hours does
Il actually occur 10 u.s.
What Is supposed TO happen Is that
the particular cell Of intellcction which
we are using throws out its process
among the cells OF memory for names.
and though this process Is brought IN
connection with cells containing slim.
liar names. II is only after q more or
less prolonged search that Il hits on the
right one. II Is as IL the telephone op-
orator In the central Office felt around
blindly for the connection wanted. and
only after putting the plug into various
holes eventually struck the proper one.

Caught in Chicago

Chicago-Eearl Ellsworth, aged "a
years, was arrested here as the result
OF an alleged confession which de,
tectfves obtained by pretending to be
hi, friends. Eighteen months ago at
Woodstock, H.. Benjamin Ellsworth.
Earl's father, finding his wife in
company with Amos Anderson, shot
and killed both, and then, according to
Earl Ellsworth, who gave the police
the story, the old man committed sui
eide. Earl admitted having advised
his father to kill the couple, and at
tn" time was arrested as an accessory
but was allowed to 60, public senti-
ment being in his favor. An fnsur-
ance company, however, being liable
for $4,000 insurance, which the elder
Ellsworth carried, decided to investi-
gate further. The talk which young
Ellsworth had with the detectives and
which was overheard by witnesses Sc
creted in an adjoining room, is said
to have cleared EIleworth's mother Of
the charge of faithlessness and to have
left open to doubt the statement that
the elder Ellsworth killed himself.
