APHASIA.
By II. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
Copyright, 1881

Aphasia, reference to which is so often
pers, may be defined as a mental malady
due to blocking or destruction Of the
brain centers that have to do with The
seeing, hearing or speaking of words
1t has many causes, and may take any
one of numerous forms.
Not disease only, but conditions Gre
ated by unusual excitement or fatigue
will sometimes bring on an attack OF
aphasia. Then people find themselves
suddenly stricken dumb or otherwise
strangely limited in their linguistic ac-
complishments.
they may find that they can now talk in
only one. And, oddly enough, this is
not always their native tongue.
Thus a young German woman. having
been badly frightened. was unable for
long time afterward to speak word OF
German. But she could still talk well
enough in English, which she had learn
ed in childhood.
Here the brain trouble was purely
functional and durable. So in cases OF
aphasia due to slight poisoning of the
brain from the toxins of fatigue or some
mild disease. But the outlook is differ
ent if the speech center is organtcally
damaged, whether by disease. or, as
sometimes happens. by accident.
Once, as DR.. Hanna Thomson re-
lates, in his Brain and Personality .
a man was brought to Bellevue Hos
pitaI in New York city to be treated
for an injury received in drunken
fight.
The tip Of an umbrella, it appeared
had been poked into one Of his eyes
The eye itself was not badly damaged
But from that instant, to his horror
the victim had not been able to utter q
word.
What had happened was that the tir
had penetrated his brain, Just where
the uttering speech center lies resting
the orbit" There had been no great
bleeding. The injury had seemingly
been quite slight. But it had beer
enough to render the unfortunate mar
totally incapable. Of speech. Says DR.
Thomson:
while was describing his case to
large class at my clinic, he saw stu
dent with an umbrella in his hand, and
pointing to 1t. he burst into tears. But
though he wept at his inability. he
could not talk"
Aphasia Of another kind results il
the brain center organically OF func-
tionally affected is that relating te
words seen. Then we have the peculiar
condition known as word blindness.
Persons thus affected may be able
to talk as well as ever. But they are
unable to read anything written OF
printed They see the words plainly
enough. Only they no longer have any
idea Of their meaning.
And again, as in speech aphasia, thi.
fvpe If anhasia fs subject to many
yariationE There may be word blind
ness for one language. but no wore
blindness for another. -.
Similarly II the center relating Il
words heard u affected A French
|nnah vho spGlA Enslish AsH had {
stroke of 1popaeU. Ever After hs
lcould not understpd word 81 apoks.

Controller Williams also said that
the national banks resources were
only $1,OOO,OO0 less than the COM
bined resources of all state and other
banks and trust companies in the
country, as shown by their reports OF
June, 1917, and that in the past hve
years the growth of the resources OF
the national institutions had been
greater than the increase which took
place in the preceding twenty-five
years.
During the present year. the con-
troller's report said, only one national
bank in the entire country had failed.
that being small institution in CALI
fornia~ This was declared to be the
best record since 1870.

The Mercantile Marine.
From de London Post,


The mercantile marine. having be-
come in practice a state transport
service. 1t seems probable that after
the war the mercantile marine will
remain In part under state control.
That the state should take over the
merchant service few, indeed, would
desire. But. on the other hand, that
a great national industry should lapse
into its old, bad conditions is impos-
sible. Perhaps in the connection be.
tween the navy and the mercantile
marine may be found the principIe
upon which the problem Of combining
state control and state support with
private enterprise may be solved. We
would suggest that the organization
of the future upon whose success de-
pends nothing less than the health,
welfare and prosperity of the British
empire. should be framed by represen-
tativee OF the two services acting In
concert ThSy may be sure that they
win recsis1-ths. hearty support Of the
whole country.

Marines SHOW GAINS

NEW YORK, December 23.-The
general market was decidedly slow
from the opening, with specialties
forming the bulk Of the trading, with
the marines the chief in this group.
The advice from Washington. ac-
crediting the government as about
ready to take over the feet OF the
International Mercantile Marine Com
pauy, was responsible for a 4-point
rise in the preferred shares Of the
corporation, fairly well maintained
into the afternoon, while Atlantic.
Gulf and West Indies. United Fruit
and International Corporation rose
to 2 points.
Some Easiness Shown.
This was the principal movement of
the morning hours, the rails, coppers
and metal shares showing easiness
and a tendency toward lower figures.
Reports from various sections OF
manufacturing activity indicate that
extra time, bonuses, etc. have become
matters Of record. that half-ttme ana
force and that many men have quit
positions where high salaries were
the inducements and have returned to
old positions-when the latter were
open.
Utilities were decidedly soft again
and the selling Of liberty bonds con-
tinued without diminution.
Steel Is Reactionary.
steel common opened at 96A, was
firm for a few moments, then reacted
to 95k. Crucible Steel lost u; Utah
Copper, u; Studebaker, 1h. while
Mexican Petroleum improved frac-
tionally.
Canadian Pacific lost IN; Baltimore
and Ohio, *; Lehigh Valley was a
point off early. but recovered part;
New Haven lost a point; Reading u,
and other rail shares fractions.
AS the session advanced the market
became more quiet, the noon hour be-
ing marked by very little trading.
Brokers' offices were more or less
neglected; the holiday spirit is on, but
window dressing has been postponed
until a more auspicious occasion.
