At recent meeting of the Royal
Society of Canada, Sir James Grant,
NJ. D., presented a paper on the neu-
rons and cells of the brain in their re-
lation to the faculty of memory, and,
after stating that, as with the other
tissues of the body, so with the cells of
the brain, evidence of lessening power
and activity appears with the passage
of years, he added the very interesting g
statement that the line of present in
vestigation demonstrates that the elec.
trical current through the brain ro-
tates its molecules to such a degree as
to produce a most notable physiologi-
cal response in the direction of i'm

AUTO PLUNGES into RIVER
FOUR PERSONS OF A PLEASURE
PARTY DROWNED.
Chauffeur Swlms to Safety and Noti-
fes Relatives and Then Surrend-
ers Himself to the Police.

New York City.-Four persons were
drowned on Monday night when an
automobile carrying a pleasure party
of six became unmanageable, shot at
wild speed down West Fifty-sixth
street and bounded from an open pier
into the North river. The machine
turned over in its plunge from the
pier, holding the four victims fast in
their seats.
John Bauer, the chauffeur, was car
ried into the river with the machine,
but managed to free himself and swim
to safety. John Nolan, one of the
party, jumped from the runaway ma
chine as it neared the end of the dock.
Bauer was taken into custody by the
police.
After taking his employer home
Monday night Bauer invited his
friends for pleasure ride. With the
party he ran the machine down Fifty
sixth street at fair speed, intending to
go out on the dock. In some manner
the brake failed to work and the ma
chine began to skid. Down on the
dock it flew and Nolan leape3 just in
time. The four victims were carried
down into the water and though two
young men who were standing on tho
dock at the time made repeated ef-
forts to rescue the drowning persons
by diving for them they were unable
to do so. The body of Mrs. Coleman
was recovered shortly before midnight
Monday.
After swimming to the pier Bauer
went to the relatives of the four
drowned persons and notified them of
the accident. He then surrendered
himself to the police. The diver
brought the body of Miss Berdon to
the surface and reported that there
was no other body in the automobile.
An anchor chain was attached to the
machine and it was hoisted to the
dock. The body of Mr.. Coleman was
found wedged under the seat of the
tonneau.
