THE HUMAN BRAIN.
1t Neither Originates a Word Nor
Forms a Notion.


Those physiological and surgical
facts which show that brain matter
has itself no capacity for thought are
of such recent discovery that only
relatively small number of persons,
mostly specialists-have the least idea
that the brain neither originates
word nor forms q notion. Anatomy
and physiology alike Indicate that the
brain is never other than the inStru-
ment of what-in the present state Of
science-must be called the personal
ity." The personality is as different
from, as separate from, the brain as
the viOlinist is separate from his VIC
lin. 1t is not brain which makes man.
Man makes one of his brain hemi-
spheres human by his own labor. If a
human personality entered a young
chimpanzee's brain-where, by the
way, it would find all the required
cerebral cOnvolutions-that ape could
then grow into a true inventor or phi
losopher, for it is the great man who
great brain which makes the great
man. This is another way of saying
that we can make our own brainS-SO
far as special functions or aptitudes
are concerned. Human brain matter
does not become human in its powers,
indeed. until the personality within
takes it in hand to fashion it,
What iS 10 tsba biplSa N1-biCb fins
takes the mechanism known as the
brain and uses it for thought purpose
as a telegrapher would use ticker and
q series of wires for the transmission
of messages? In the present state of
anatomy and of pathology, replies DR..
Thomson, in effect, we have here the
greatest mystery connected with the
conscious personality. We know that
the conscious PERSONAL---VERY. whatever
one pleases to call it-haS a material
organ to think with. The conscious
personality does the thinking. The
material organ is the instrument of
thought, and that material organ exists
in two symmetrical halves. 1t is only
one-half of this organ, however, which

All acquired human endowments
therefore are acquired by modification
of the material comprising the speak
ing half of the brain. This speaking
half of the brain did not originally have
q single one of these great functions,
not single place in it for them, any
more than it's fellow hemisphere has
to the end of its life. They are all
stamped, as it were, each in it's re-
spective place in the speaking hem
isphere, by single creative agency.
All words and all knowledge are put
in the brain and arranged there for
use, like SO many books on their brain

PROBE FOR A BRIDGE COMBINE
Grand Jury Is Considering Whether
to Start an Investigation Into
Some Charges.

Freeport. H., March S.-The grand
Jury considered evidence to determine
whether to start an investigation into
the alleged bridge combine in northern
Illinois. Many counties in this part of
the state are interested in the agita-
ton, but this is the first move made.
The investigation is the outcome of
charges that certain territory is allOt-
ted to agents. and that, although a
number of bids are received, when
contracts are awarded the agent in the
favored place generally has the low
est bid and receives the job.
Contracts have also been awarded
the agents without advertising for
bids, the supervisors alleging that an
emergency existed because bridges
were wrecked by floods or other
causes. Two weeks ago States Attorney
Burrell notified the county clerk not
to pay orders amounting to $4,000 to
the FreepOrt Bridge company until or
dered to do so by a court Of competent
Jurisdiction.
