which very little is known, but it is,
undoubtedly, the most delicate and
vital organ in the system. The cere-
brum, or faculty of reason, belongs to
the anterior section of the brain and is
made up of the temporal and frontal
lobes. These, the gray matter proper,
are subdivided into points of central
ization supposed to control the associ-
atiOns of reflex and voluntary resulting
movements, both physical and mental.
The hinder division, or the cerebellum,
controls combined muscular action
and, like the former, is subdivided into
many localizing centers. Centrally
imbedded in the cerebellum, and rum
ming lengthwise between the frontal
and temporal lobes, is bundle of
nerve fibers connected with an intricate
maze of arteries and veins. This is
the corpus callosum. Blood vessels
jutting out from the latter taper rapidly
and send forth individual arms that,
again branch into many smaller tribu-
taries. Like the nerves, these may be
traced to the remotest cells of both
hemispheres, forming living laby-
rinth at once so delicate and compli-
Gated that we, naturally, ask: Was
mans origin due to spontaneous
generation?
