THE HUMAN BRAIN.

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 specLiiists-have the least idea
that the brain neither originates
word nor forms a notion. Anatomy
and physiology alike indicate that the
brain Is never other than the instru-
ment OF whas-in the present state Of
scicnce-must be called the personal
ity." The personality is rs different
from, as separate from, the brain as
the violinlst Is separate from his VIC

great brain which makes the great

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
