Letter
Written By Gov. Cox To Be
Opened In 100 Years

Columbus, Jan. 21-Ohio's governor
in 2014 A. d., will receive a personal
letter from Ohio's governor in 1914. II
was written and sealed by Governor
Cox. 1t will be packed in oil paper
and laid away in a strong safe in the
governors office, marked:
"This envelope contains a letter
written by Governor James M. Cox
to be opened and read hundred
years hence. George F. Burba, sec
retary to the governor" There is
no recounting of legislation or affairs
of state in the letter. 1t is a personal
letter, says the governor. None bu,
he and Secretary Burba know its con
tents. They say it tells how the gov
ernor's offices look, how visitors are
ushered in, how people dress, what
and when they eat, how they ride
what they talk about and how wide
High street is. These are just few
of the subjects. 1t is such a letter as
may interest His Excellency, the gov.
ernor of Ohio, 2014, even in his capa
city of private citizen.
The governor conceived the idea
when he was asked by a Masonic
lodge at Athens to write letter for
its centennial birthday celebration
which the lodge is celebrating now
to be opened when it celebrates its
next centennial anniversary in 2014

For One Year Without Brain
Did This Man

Paris, Jan. 21-A remarkable med1.
cal phenomenon has been reported to
the Academy of Science by DR.. Robin
son, who recorded the case of a man
so years old, who lived for a year
without a brain The man injured
himself slightly in the occipital reg
ion, but although his sight was af-
fected his four other senses remained
normal. At the end of year he died
of an epileptic seizure
DR.. Robinson performed post
mortem examination, and found the
brain had become simply pulpy
liquid mass.
This case," says DIR. Robinson, zen
tirely upsets the old medical theory
of localization, whereby the motive
force of the different senses is sup
posed to be supplied by distinct por-
tions of the BRAIN"
At the same meeting at the Aca-
denny Prof. Perrier uttered a warning
against allowing the slightest scratch
on the scalp go untreated, as it
might lead to an abscess on the brain.
