A Government-Aided Philanthropist.
From tie New York World.


On the whole much good fortune seems to

the national debt. According to distin-
guished economic authority a national debt
Is really blessing. Mexicos load OF felic-
ity remains unified therefore and the $40
ooo,oO0 Of Alvarado, which might have been
mistakenly applied, will be distributed
among the poor of the republic.
Nor Is the government to let its kind Of
nees cease with a plain act of decIina-
ton. The wealth which 1t would not ap-
propriate it viii help to scatter For Senior
Alvarado has made it his active partner In

fund Is to be established. Some struggling
church and small parishes will be assisted.
For the most part the dollars will be used
to set up In land or business such humble

the present $10,000OO0 Is gone Alvarado
probably will be ready to furnish more
since his wealth. coming from the famous
Palmillo mine, is counted both tncalculahle
and ineYhaustible.
1t Is new and interesting phase of gov
eminent paternalism which is presented by
this Mexican instance. The inquiry Is per-
tinent to certain state of the American
mind as to how far a willing multi-mil-
lionaire may with propriety accept official
assistance in disposing of a cumulative sur
plus. Could Mr.. Carnegie have sought be-
comingly federal regulation of his efforts to
avoid the disgrace of dying rich? Should
Mrs. Sage ask Uncle SIN to preside over
the disposal Of her husbands savings?
Would the tainted money issue be a bar
to the employment of a national free hand
on the Rockefeller treasures?

Slowly this harvest festival began to be

of the external excitation of a sense organ
After taking up all sorts of specific in
stances of nerve activity-such as the pleas
ure felt on reading an agreeable or exciting
book the mental action caused by watching
a difficult and dangerous gymnastic feat
the author concludes that there is absolute
ly no psychic process, conscious or uncon-
scious, that is not accompanied by objective
notifications of the brain tissue. Very
often, it is true, the manifestations of brain
action are due, wholly or partly, not so
much to immediate external stimulation as
to energy stored in the brain; but this stor-
age was primarily due to external eXcita-
ton, so that the rule holds. The mechan-
ism. the writer understands 1t, is as
follows:
THE cerebral notifications, beginning
with an excitation of the external nervous
system, pass thence into the central organ,
where they retained for longer or
shorter period and enter into the general
central reserve of energy, which later pro-
duces voluntary or psychomotof processes;
or, passing through the brain, the nerve
stimulation may arouse in 1t a great pro-
vision Of nerve energy which produces
series of voluntary acts exceeding in force
and volume the ordinary results of nerve
excitement; or, finally, passing through
more direct channels, 1t may encounter no
considerable reserve of energy and is sim
ply changed into reflex act"
In his effort to show that there is
physical basis for every fact of sensation,
the writer takes up the simple sensations OF
taste, which have been Investigated along
this line by Sternberg. Why is a sweet
taste pleasant and bitter one disagree
able? asks this authority. First, he says.
let us inquire why some substances are
pleasant and others unpleasant to the taste,
ana also why some are bitter and some
sweet. He concludes that sweet substances
have what he calls Harmony" in their
chemical constitution, the destruction of
which results in the forma ton Of bitter
combinations. He finds that there Is al
ways bitter substance nearly allied to
sweet one and that chemical transformation
Is easy. The sensation of sweetness is thus
similar to that of musical harmony, both
being due to a harmony of external vibra-

OF course, Americans know all about
the origin Of Thanksgiving day. this
months great festival. That is, they
imagine so until they begin to think about
it, and then they usually find that the sum
and substance of their Information Is the
hazy idea that 1t had something to do with
the Pilgrim Fathers.
AS far back as this goes, it is correct, but
little more definite knowledge might not
be amiss. A year after the landing of the
Pilgrims, Gov. Bradford, of Plymouth Col
ony, in 1921, with the sanction Of the lead
ing elders of the church, set apart day of
prayer and thanksgiving to God for the first
harvest and for all the mercies He had
showered upon them. Their few and scanty
crops had been successfully gotten in and
their houses made snug for the long, hard
winter that they knew was soon to come,
SO even these austere coIonists felt that a
