ries to the brain has become less
formidable.
From each of the brain cells
runs long "nerve-arm," intended
for transmitting impressions from
one portion of the brain system to
the other. Thus a message is con-
veyed, and the mind gets its news.
The full strength of the brain
cells is grouped into systems,
these systems, in turn, being ar
ranged in communities, the com
munities in clusters, and finally,
the clusters in consultations by
which they are now known to great
psychologists. By means of this
Wedge students of the human
brain are enabled to indicate the
locality of the brain cells perform
ing certain functions.
In the case of Frank j. Wash
burn, of Allegheny, Penn, the
physicians we're enebled to predict
recovery which afterwards took
place.
Mr.. Washburn was injured in a
train wreck in 1884. 1t left him
entirely without memory. Forget
ting his entire past, he wandered
away to Newark. assuming a diff
ferent name. There he was mar
ried, and in due course OF time had
a family of four children.
The earliest thing in life that he
could remember was travelling on a
railroad train. Knowing this, the
physicians searched for head in
jury and found one. You will
probably recover your entire
memory by shock" they said.
Seventeen years after fv the the aooi-
dent in which Washburn lost his
memory a lamp standing by his
bedside fell on the floor and
broke.
Thereupon Washburn recovered
his normal faculties, and, remem-
berIng his boyhood, returned to
Allegheny.
There appears to be some rela-
tion between extraordinary activity
of mind and insanity. So called
geniuses sometimes exhibit symp-
toms of mental alienation, or brain
peculiarities. Cromwell was a hy-
pochondriac and mad visions +.
Dean Swift inherited insanity and
was regarded as mad" Shelley
was called by his friends Mad"
Shelley. Coleridge was a morbid
maniac. In fact, all of these men
were notably absent-minded.
Psychologists say that this pecu-
liarity is produced by temporary
disjunction of certain groups of
cells.
A man becomes so absorbed IN
the study of some particular sub
ject that the hard thinking dis
organizes the groups of cells en-
ployed in reflection upon other
topics.
So the man with the tentacles of
his brain cells turned in one direc-
tion seems lost to all observation
or mental inception.
1t may be possible that Edgar
Smith, the Pennsylvania farmer,
is happier in his present state than
he was before. He seems to enjoy
all the light-hearted emotions OF
childhood without any of the cares
and responsibilities of adults.
Who knows but that the time
may come when brain imputation
may become a fact and we may
eliminate from our minds the cells
Of crime and drunkenness and all
that is evil.
Through brain surgery the mil
lennium may yet arrive.
