city Of New York, having as it's pur-
pose the reduction of the representa-
ton In congress of southern states
that have disfranchised the negro vote.
The measure, If enacted in its pres
ent form, would lessen the member
ship In congress by nineteen, accord
ing to the estimate that has been made
by the Republican club, which organ
lied It,
The bill and an explanatory state
ment issued by Senator Plat were re-

SHOWS INFLUENCE OF MIND.
Evidence Antagonistic to Physiology
cal Theory of the Emotions.

In the Journal de Psychologist, M
Mayer treats Of the influence of the
mind on bodily secretions. We know
that tempting morsel of food makes
the mouth water" and that stories
or memories can bring tears to the
eyes. Observations on dogs have
shown that the nature of the saliva
secreted at the sight of food depends
on the nature of the food. The stom.
achal secretions of the dog are also
excited by the sight of food Some
dogs, however, Of a "cold, positive
temperament" not iIusioned by CHI
meras or what is out of reach, patient
~ wait until the food comes to their
gullet before their mouths water or
their gastric juices are provoked. 1t
Is assumed that what holds for dogs
probably holds for men. The obser-
vations appear to show the import
ance OF eating food that pleases and
avoiding what displeases or disgusts.
They also run counter to the physio-
logical theory of the emotions, accord
Ing to which the physiological phe-
nomena are caused by organic
changes. This may be the case with
some emotions" for example the
feeling of hunger, but for emotions
properly so-called it is rather the
other way about ondor Globe.
