F1rst-It Is possible for alternating
personality or multiple personality"
to exist.
Second-The structure of the human
brain in its relation to intellectual
processes does not allow of such a
condition. All that we know of the
form and structure of the nerve unit
Cor neuron), all that we know of the
nature of the nerve impulse and the
grouping and connections of the nerve
impulses within the brain, all these
admit of the supposition that their
dislocation underlies the complex pre-
nomena which we briefly term "alter-
mating personality"
All mental processes depend upon as
sociations of sensations, images ideas,
etc. 1t is because man possesses so
large and complex a cerebrum that his
mind is capable of multiplicity of as
sociations far greater than that of any
other animal. The associations of
ideas, etc, which go on continuously
as long as we are thinking depends
upon the fact that when any two ele-
mentary brain processes have been
active together or in succession the re-
currence of one of them will tend to
call the other into action as well. And
just as other natural forces seek the
path of least resistance, the nerve cur
rents aroused in the associative func-
tions of such brain elements will like
wise tend to be conducted in the nerve
paths most used before.
But an idea or sensation, or image
or thought of any kind may be asso-
ciated with one thing at one time and
with another thing at another time;
in other words it may become dissoci-
ated from either.
If we assume, for the sake of argu-
ment, that each brain element or nerve
cell may undergo dozen direct or per-
mutative associations with near or dis
tex, it is quite conceivable that as a
result of some profound disturbance
OF the total activities of that brain.
either only half a dozen of the possi-
BILE associations can be carried out by
the now partially crippled brain ele-
ment, or the associations are warped,
thrown out of gear" as a result we
have false replica of the former brain
activities (and a changed personality
is exhibited by the individual when
the summation of brain activities has
suffered such warping).
Just as the mental processes of the
healthy minded individual depend upon
the orderly and we'll balanced arrange
ment of the associations in the cere-
brum, so does disassociation, a pro-
found disruption of normal association
paths, coupled perhaps with a con-
fused side tracking of nerve currents,
characterize the mental phenomena of
alternating personality. Lapses of
memory or false memories arise out of
the fact that memory is the orderly,
unconfused association of a
present sensation, image or event or
thought with others known to have
been experienced previously. When
these associations are profoundly dis
turbed as limited above, and conscious
ness is still present, the dissertation
gives rise to a new personality in the
individual.

THE cultivation of salt water veg
etables is an industry that promises
large profits for marine farmers of
the future in this country. Little Japan
raises and gathers two million dol
lars worth of them annually, and the
United States fisheries bureau urges
that we ought to do at least as well,
inasmuch as the same kinds grow wild
in the shallow waters along our own
coasts. People see them constantly, but
pay no special attention to them, call
ing them weeds because they are not
acquainted with their value as table
delicacies and have no knowledge Of
the proper methods of preparing them.
Some of these plants make excellent
table vegetables; others are useful for
salads; yet others still are valuable
as condiments. The Japanese have de-
veloped their possibilities to remark
able extent, and DIR. II. M. Smith of
the fisheries bureau made quite a study
of the subject during a recent visit to
the mikados empire. He says that we
have good reason to be ashamed of
ourselves, because, with resources of
seaweeds fully equal to those of Japan,
we utilize only $4,000 worth of them
per annum, the crop gathered being
only one species, Irish moss, the busi-
ness of collecting which is restricted
to Massachusetts.
Abundant in many places along our
Atlantic coast and also on the Pacific
side is a seaweed of the genius gel
idium, which yields a wonderful jelly.
1t grows on rocks, and the Japanese
gather 1t in their waters by diving.
After being dried it is washed in fresh
water and boiled to extract the gela-
tine, which, taking the form of pulpy
mass, is cooled and cut into neat sticks
and bars. These are exposed for a
while to sun and wind on a hillside
and then they are ready for market,
They are snowy white, shiny, haky and
most appetizing to look at. Not only
jellies and desserts are made from the
substance, but also pastries and can

dies, as we'll as a substitute for edible
Chinese.
A very curious method of cultivation
is employed in the case of another
marine vegetable by the Japanese, who
throw stones into the sea to afford
suitable places for the attachment and
growth of the plants. Spores of the
seaweed, corresponding to seeds, find
Judgement on the stones and soon there
is a luxuriant crop. After being cleaned,
dried and bleached the plants are done
up in rolls, the most common CONNER
cial use for the article being the siz-
ing of textiles and the starching Of
fabrics of all kinds. 1t is readily con-
verted into a paste by immersion in
boiling water, and the Japanese women,
oddly enough apply a diluted solution
of it to their hair in the washing
thereof.
The red laver, which is a common
larly cultivated in Japan. and few land
crops surpass 1t in the profit obtained
per acre. Extensive areas in the shall
lows of Toxic bay are planted with
this useful vegetable, the method
adopted being to thrust bundles Of
bamboo or brush at low tide into the
muddy bottom, arranging them In rows.
The bundles, standing upright in the
water, serve to intercept the floating
spores of the plant, which grows so
rapidly that in three months the
crop is ready to be gathered. On being
cut from the sticks the weeds are sun
dried and are then ready for market.
They are usually crisped over fire
before being eaten. and sometimes
sandwiches are made of them, with
rice and fish, which are sold at rail-
road stations and in shops. Also they
are put into sauces and soups to give
flavor.
Along our own Pacific coast, from
Monterey bay northward, grows the
most wonderful of all water plants,
the so-called giant 'kelp." Its stems

Oh. give me back the good old days;

The care-free times before we knew
Bacteria We're rife.
We never boiled the crystal stream
The oaken bucket drew,
And II our mud pies reeked with germs.
At least we never knew
But now we boil, and bake, and steam,
And disinfect and bum;
We wash and spray and shake and stir
And fume and scrape and churn.
We think Il will prolong our days,

The subject of amnesia or loss of
memory in its strict psychological sense
is one of the most fascinating in the
domain of mental medicine 1t is of
both profound scientific interest and of
wide practical import. Associated as it
is with some of the most remarkable
phenomena of abnormal mental life,
and so frequently present under most
varied conditions of alienation, it's BEAR
ing upon medico-legal questions, is of
decided interest.
Associated with the phenomenon of
absolute or total amnesia, /. e., total
loss of memory for a definite period of
time, are the subtle manifestations of
double and multiply personality.

alities, each more or less independent
Of each other, and each possessing
knowledge Of it's own states alone,
the one skull cover two independent
mentalities?
The most remarkable and phenome-
nal case of this kind recorded in liter
ature is that of the Rev. Thomas C.
Hanna, a Baptist clergyman of Plants
vile, Conn. The bewildering expert
ences of this highly Intellectual cul-
tured clergyman were under our i'm
mediate experimentation. The remark
able experiences observed leave no
doubt that the duality of mind is pos
sible. DR.. Hanna was suddenly bereft,
after a fall, of every vestige of MEM
ory of his past life experience. He was
as one transported to this earth from
another planet. 1t was possible in our
Investigations to demonstrate the pres
ence of two egos, each having it's own
contents of knowledge and in part diff
ferent emotional sensitivity. While
the upper waking consciousness was
active and in possession Of Mr.. Hanna,
another, the subliminal self, possessed
of it's own experiences. and ignorant
of the other, lay in allegiance. These
