Va look after the American Rubber

two months Of the most eXasperating
exploration through the swamps and

laconlc reply. Il suppose I'll die here

Then, turning brusquely tuSard his

OF late years thousands of American

indispensable that he be a lover of
horses) should take up this theme CT

Although at tho time Of the con-
quest horses were unknown in Mex
leo, that country to-day boasts of
some of the finest of the species. The
horses Of Cuba that were taken to
Mexico as well as the horses that
went to the River Plate on a similar
errand of conquest are believed to
have been of Andalusian breed. and
Cunninghame Graham, tho famous
British author and traveller. who
knows from personal experience both
Mexican and Argentine horses, holds
that we must look TO Barhary for the
progenitcrs of the Cordobese horses.
Most horses" he says, 'in fact, all
breeds Of horses, have six lumbar
vertebrae. A most careful observer,
the late Edward lesson, professor
in the Agricultural college of Santa
Catalina, near Buenos Ayres, has
noted the remarkable fact that the
horses Of the Pampas have only FIVE.
Following up his researches, he has
found that the only other breed of
Eorses in which similar popularity
is to be found is that of Barbary."

CenterS of the Brain

Biologists admit that psychic cen
ters are localized in the cortex of the
brain. The function of lar guage, for
example, is perverted or suppressed
when certain portion of tho frontal
lobes Of the brain is altered or de-
stroyed. DR.. Grasset, in recent
work on "Spir.tism," holds that the
centers Of automatism and sub-con-
seriousness form together a kind Of
polygonal area. In the Revue de Phil
osophie he also discusses the ques-
ton of an immaterial soul and its re-
lation to these phychic centers of the
brain. and he concludes that the two
conceptions are not incompatible. In
telligence, be argues, is faculty of
the soul. One cannot localize it in
an organ. The psychic function, how
ever, Is more complex. 1t comprises
the immaterial intelligence and the
thought expressed, associated as we
observe 1t in human life. For this
psychic furction a material organ or
instrument as well as the immaterial
intelligence is required, and this organ
is the cortex Of the brain. Whether
the psychic center Of the cortex only
serves to clothe the idea, TO express
tho thought, or intervenes otherwise,

what does 1t matter to the biologist
so long as he can localize the center?
These centers Of the brain are as in
dispersable for the expression of the
highest intelligence as for the lowest
automatisms. Consequently the biolo-
gist may erdeavor to localize the CEN
ters of higher as we'll as Of lower in
telligence. This quest, however, is
distinct from the study OF the princi-
pie Of intelligence. Hence psychology
should not become a department OF
biology. Psychology Is the science OF
will and conscience. Biology is the
science of the cerebral instrument
whose intervention Is necessary for
the regular working Of that will and
conscience. Each Of these two sci
ences has its own domain, and there
Is no contradiction between them. II
is curious to find that after going from
one extreme to the other, from the
notion of a purely immateriaal to a
purely material mind, to a brain
"secreting thought" as an electric bat

thinkers are coming round to the

He needed all the maxims about thrift,

And reverenced economy, which Is the
source OF wealth.
He made some small investments, and
some larger after while,
And listened for applause, when he as
sumed a better style.
But some of those who knew him sneered,
while others simply sighed.
He had practiccd all the virtues buf
they weren't satisfied.
He looked the situation DER with eadness
