MEMORY is ABSENT.
Intricate Little Processes of the Brain
Go on Strike.

What are the causes of apparently
healthy persons suddenly losing their
identity?" was a question which a
celebrated brain specialist dealt with
yesterday in the hope that the results
of his researches and his advice might
prove of benefit to the public.
The physician recalled some remark
able cases of what are known as
'psychical changes" which have re-
Gently come to his notice, including
the experience of a gentleman who a
few days ago entered the Record of
flee in Chancery lane and announced
to the astonished official that "he did
not know who he was, as he had lost
his memory"
lady who wandered from her home at
Clacton to Finsbury, a distance of
thirty miles, and furnished to the po-
lice at the latter place a name which
she thought to be her fathers" A
telegram, however, sent to that ad-
dress was returned unknown"
A third illustration of these curious
psychological phenomena was that of
clergyman who, after withdrawing
from his bank a substantial sum of
money with which to complete the pur-
chase of a piece of land, entered a
tramway car. From that moment his
mind became a blank, and he wandered
800 miles to large town, where with
the money he bought a stationer's shop
and erected a sign bearing the name
of Brown"
After six weeks a customer entered
and, addressing the man behind the
counter as MIR. Brown" asked to be
supplied with some small articles OF
stationery. The proprietor replied that
his name was not Brown, but Bourne
and that he knew nothing about the
business.
THE man had suddenly awakened
from his prolonged lapse Of memory"
added the physician.
No less remarkable was the case OF
London man who Travelled to Leeds to
fill a situation which he had been very
anxious to obtain. He had brief and
satisfactory interview with his en-
ployer, and then went to look for lodg-
ings. The next thing the man remem-
bered was being in a train at Grant
ham on his way back to London.
The strange feature of this case was
that the unconscious man had carefully
and accurately relabeled his luggage
for the address he had previously oc-
cupied in London.
"As matter of fact" explained the
physician, "these persons behave in
quite a rational way, although they are
really unconscious all the time. They
spend money carefully, and eat and
sleep with their customary regularity.
They are but partly mentally deficient.
THE brain is commonly regarded as
single organ. 1t is in reality a coll
lection of parts, different and distinct.

Preacher kidnaps His sabv.

CLAY CENTER, Kan, April IL
excitement was caused here today
when Rev. John Jackson, a minister Of
Denton. Tex, kidnapped his own baby
and made an attempt to escape with it
in buggy. He was captured by the
sheriff after an exciting three-mile
race and the baby restored to its moth
er. No warrant was sworn out for the
Rev. Jackson and no action probably
will be taken against him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson had separated
and she recently returned here to the
home of her parents. Rev. jackson ar
rived in the city today unannounced.
Before going to Texas Rev. Jackson
was pastor of a Methodist Episcopal
church at Topeka. While in that city
he was actively engaged in the fight
against saloons and gained some noto-
riety.
