A new THEORY or
BRAIN DEVEL OPMEHT.

Philadelphia Dec. 2S.-A new theory
OF brain development has been pro-
pounded By Dr. Edward Anthony Spitz-
ka of Columbia university before the
Association OF Anatomists at the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania. Il is I'm eff
feet, that the mentality A. not depen-
dant ON the relative proportion OF white
and gray matter so much as upon the
health OF the great bundles OF fihers
known ag the corpus caliosum which
connect the two sides OF the brain.
In announcing his theory Dr. Spitz-
ka exhibited the brains OF more than a
dozen men who had been eminent In
science, and In each case endeayored to
show that they bore out his assertions.
The relative Importance OF the white
and gray matter in the brain is often
misConstrued, he said. "Were Il not
for the manifold connections OF the
nerve cells In the cortex with each 9TH
en-. as well as with the periphery by
means Of the millions and millions OF
ibers which make up the white matter
such a brain would be as useless as a
multitude Of telephone or telegraph sta
tons with all inter-connecting wires
destroyed.
The corpus callosum Is an index
which places the brain OF man so far
over that OF the brute. When this
structure is deficient or diseased Il Is in
variably attended by profound weak
mindedness or total idiocy. And the ex-
animation Of the brains OF these notable
men possessing large capacity for do
Ing and thinking shows the converse
to be quite as true"
