OUR BRAINS ARE DOUBLE.
But Only One of Them Is Used to
Think With.

But Only One of Them Is Used to
Think With.
Man has a pair Of brains just as he
has q pair Of eyes and a pair of ears,
declares DR. William Hanna Thomson
in Everybody's. But. asserts Dr.
Thomson, only one of our two brains
is used to think with. He continues:
when we come into this world we
have pair Of quite thoughtless brains
and nothing more. To become intelli-
gent beings we must acquire a whole
host Of mental faculties and endow-
ments, not one of which does a human
being bring with him at birth No one
was ever born speaking English nor
any other language. No newly born
babe knows anything by sight nor by
any other sense. Every kind Of knowl-
edge has to be gained by personal edu-
cation. But only recently have we
found that this education necessitates
the creation Of local anatomical
change in brain matter to make it the
special seat for that accomplishment
Thus no one can become a skilled vio-
lin player until by long fashioning he
has at last made a violin playing place
in his cerebrum.
But all this brain fashioning takes
so much time and trouble that for
mere economy of labor, as one hemi-
sphere will do all that is necessary,
the individual spends his efforts on
one Of them only. As both hemi-
spheres are equally good for this pur-
pose, which of the two he will educate
depends on which one he begins with.
This is settled for him when as a
child he begins all his training by the
hand that he then most easily uses;
hence 1t Is that all the speech centers
and all the knowing and educated
places are to be found only in the left
hemisphere Of the right handed and in
the right hemisphere of the left hand

Love Of Locality.

wall. Some of the zOOphytes can
endure quite a change In their
conditions. but those that build
the coral reef will die if exposed to
the air a short time, and cannot
survive if placed few fathoms
below the surface of the sea.
Thus we see that the habit of
staying in a certain locality is
absolutely necessary to the exist
ence of some of the lowest animals,
and none of them can stand very
great change. l am aware that
many bacteria which are plants
can survive both freezing and boil
ing for a short time, but no animal
or plant can perform it's normal
functions in both of these extreme
conditions. A goldfish can live a
short time in ice, so can a frog;
that is all they can do.
Assuming the evolution theory
to be true, is it not possible that
an animal may transmit by he
redity habit that is necessary to
it's own existence? Evolntionists
tell us we have inherited certain
organs, such as the appendix ver-
informs, the muscles of the ear,
ETC., which were useful to our ami
NAL ancestors, but are functionless
with us. Why then may we not
inherit an instinct or habit from
the animals? We inherit love
for hunting other animals-which
was necessary occupation with
our savage ancestors-tho we may
not be able to shoot straight
enough to hit a flock of elephants,
and we could make lots more money
with less fatigue at some other
occupation.
Let us imagine q single-celIed
animal living in pond of water
near the sea. We will assume that
it will die if placed in salt water.
Now, this animal mnltiplies by
simple ission. In short time
there are scores Of these animals
in the pond. Finally one of them,
by some freak of nature, does not
finish the process of division and
las In fact such animals OCCASION
/ ally do-the two halves formed two
distinct but united individuals.
Let US suppose that these two cells
repeat the operation, making four;
the four repeat it making eight;
the eight become sixteen cells all

MONG the many laws of ma
ture there is one which causes

ture there is one which causes
other things being equal
all animals to have a predi-
lection or innate love for the locality
in which they are born. This
same law or force also causes ami
mails to form an attachment to a
place in which they are compelled
to dwell. If there are animals which
do not appear to be affected by
this law, it does not necessarily
follow that no such law exists; for
there are so many laws and forces
operating in nature that they are
often opposed to one another, caus-
ing apparent exceptions to some
of them.
In pigeons and other birds, and
a few quadrupeds the love of To-
cality is known as the homing in
stinct. Whether the love of To-
cality gave rise to the instinct of
direction in these animals, I do
not know, but certain it is that the
former must have existed before
the latter could manifest itself.
However. I have theory as to how
the love of locality came into ex-
istence and why it still exists. [
believe it may, with the aid of
heredity and "the adoption of an
organism to it's environment" of
which Lanmark made so much, be
traced to the lowest animals, none
of which can move far from the
place of their birth, except by the
aid Of some external force; some
of them possessing no power of
locomotion whatever, and others
possessing such power only in the
early stages of their development,
after which they are fixed to the
same place for life.
| These simple organisms are
easily affected, and often killed, by
a very slight change in their en-
vironment. Some of them are
simple naked cells in their natural
| environment, possessing the power
of locomotion by protruding little
arm-like bits of the protoplasm of
which they are composed and
using them as legs. Buff COM

certain acid is introduced into the
