7 HAVE before me as 1 write a

entitled CONDITIONED .Reiexes'

an easy book to read, but it is not
an impossible one, and when one has
read, marked and learned one finds

conception of the working Of that
riddle within us which Is I4rpetually

bridge, and it is published by the
oxford University Press, with the as
sistance Of the Royal Society.
Quite apart from its subject, this
book is a very reassuring book for
those whose hopes for the future of
mankind are bound up with the
steadfast growth Of scientific knowl-
edge. 1t gives in broad headline the
substance Of nearly 25 years OF won
derfully imagined and marvelously
conducted research. That research
was carried on in a city that changed
it's name three times, from st. Peters
burg to Petrograd and from Petro.
grad to Leningrad; it saw flood,
famine, war and revolution; there
was a great shortage Of medicaments
and scientific, apparatus, and one
Winter the whole town was wellnigh
frozen to death through want OF fuel,
and people went out after midnight
to steal the wood blocks out Of the
roadway for their stoves-but the
work went on.
1t ia true there appears a gap in
the number OF publications, cited
from between the years 1917 and 1920,
but this was due largely to the in.
terruption of the paper supply in
these years. The deficiency was more
than made up by the reports OF re-
suits that came out in the subsequent
years, when the tide Of paper flowed
again.
There Is something vastly heroic
in this persistence and something pro.
foundly significant in the respectful
cessation Of political violence in the
precincts Of the Institute Of Expert.

It happened that when / was in
Russia in 1920 / visited Prof. Pavlon
and saw something Of his work. L
remember that the corners OF his
study were piled high with potatoes
and turnips that he had grown In
patch of earth outside his laboratory
and dug up and brought in. He re-
| marked casually that that was how
| he took his exercise nowadays, and
| that was all the notice he gave to the
| immense political and social stresses
| of the world about him.
| He went on to talk about the more
nermanent realities with which he was
dealing and took me through the in
| genious building in which he and his
little band of assistants were con.
| Quoting his researches. l saw the
dogs on which he was working. They
did not seem to be in the slightest de

He has been a mighty reverberator

proclaiming Darwinism-whatever it

OF the phrase, 1.-The life force" but
what meaning he attaches to these
magic words Is unknown. He ex.
pands the word twill" on the lines
OF various nineteenth century Ger
man thinkers. He seems to be sug.
costing that man can do anything
Dy merely willing it, but whether that
is possible on any dietary or only
upon vegetarian nourishment. and
whether it can be done without ap-

aversion from sex and children which

they are-he has made a vast jungle
OF shrewd commentary and dogmatic
statements that collectively amount
to somewhere in the region Of nothing
at all. It is interesting to read these
prefaces and the rest Of his abundant
controversial literature and note how
inevitably he slides away from any
general question to issues of motive.
II he has no visible antagonist, he
invents one. Just as he shirked all
the issues OF vivisection by describing
imaginary monsters of stupidity and
cruelty, SO always he has dressed a
