Victim of Bifurcated Brain

His explanation Of such phenomena as the
new-found ability to draw and the ability to write
with the left hand was that it lay in the realm OF
psychology and while the case was an unusual
one, it involved principles which were well under
stood by psychologists. Thompson, Mr.. Jones
believes, is the victim of diassocation of brain
centres.
According to Mr.. Jones's belief, Thompson al
ways had the ability to draw, but for some rea-
son this impulse was inhibited. Some one had
told him, perhaps, that it foolish TO try %
draw and this injunction had the effect of set
ting up in his conscious mind a feeling that he
really couldn't draw This forced the impulse
into his subconscious mind, where 1t was KEEP.

Nv IHAT may develop into the strangest case
w h-the history Of biological science is now
under the observation Of Denver, Col,
physicians The case Is that Of Hayward Thomp-
son Of Kansas City, who, while having the ap-
pearance Of a normal man, gives evidence Of
possessing two independently functioning brains.
Thompson is first Of all g victim of amnesia.
That Is to say, he remembers only two months Of
his thirty-one years of life. But he is also able
to write with both hands, though in opposite
directions, and to draw cartoons with a consider
able amount OF technical skill Investigation
into his history has revealed that he had neither
Of these gifts prior to a motorcycle accident
which he suffered In st. Louis back in 1909. A
divorced wife, Mrs. May Thompson, now in
Springfield, Mo-. declares that Thompsons ab-
ity to write with both hands appeared shortly
after this accident, though it is Thompson's be-
lief that he has developed this ability only since
Feb 2, beyond which date his memory doesn't
extend.
This newest phase of Thompson's life began
Feb 2 Looking back on the experience now it
seems TO Thompson the first day Of his life,
though Of course, he has all the instructive abi-
ties Of men and all the natural racial memories.
He was registered at the Auditorium Hotel in
Denver as Thomas A. Anderson and thought Of
himself as such.
A man he did not know up to him In the
hotel lobby and addressed him as Thompson. He
insisted his name was Anderson, but the stranger

After.Dinner Tricks

No. 256--The Mental Phonograph
The performer places a record upon
the phonograph without showing it to
any one. He then calls for the name Of
few popular pieces and writes each
zone on a separate slip of paper The
slips are rolled up ana some one selects
q slip. The phonograph is started, and
upon opening the slip it is found to
bear the name of the selection which
Is being played.
The trick is quite simple. The per-
former knows what piece he has put
on. As the names OF various selec-
tions are called he apparently writes
each on a slip. but really writes the
name of the record on the phonograph.
Hence all the slips bear the name OF
the selected record. The remaining
slips should be thrown away immedi =
ately after one has been chosen.
