Keeping pace with scientific thought and progress certain problems which in the past bave been shelved for want of light being thrown upon them have been taken up again one i>y one to un? dergo further examination by the nid of improved science. The newest revelation In this direc? tion tends to the science of the mind and includes the following problems: Why does a mau act queerly when he is intoxicated? Why is a man absentminded on oc? casions? Why does a man sometimes become violently insane, often a dangerous, raving lunaiic? Such questions as these have puzzled our immediate fathers, who have hard? ly ever satisfactorily explained them away or indeed thrown much reliable light upon them. The human brain is composed of cells, and each cell is a simple bit of nerve substance, from one end of which, like an octopus, spring a number of tentacles, while from another part arises an arm dif? ferent from them and of great length The long arm is intended for trans mitting impressions from one portion of the brain system to another, it be? ing made to touch the tentacles or short arms of the next one to it, the latter in its turn effecting contact with a third cell, and so on. Thus a messr.gv, is conveyed and the mind gets its news. The entire brain Is made up of these cells, whose num ber is legion and whose full strength is grouped in systems, these systems in turn being arranged in communi? ties, the communities in clusters and Qnally the clusters in constellations, by which divisions they are known to physiologists. So long as the mind is in a healthy condition each little cell, or brain oc? topus, attends to its business faithful? ly and gives no trouble, but as man generally is an animal who niuslly re? fuses to live the life spann d out by nature and adopts instead the life laid down by the modern artificial process af living, instituted forsooth by civi? lization, mental disturbances frequent ly arise through the brain becoming abused in various ways,- from over work and alcohol principally. Your octopuslike brain cell is a Uv Ing little thing, and it can endure a great deal of abuse from you. but If you should go a little too far it rebels ind refuses to work any longer by breaking contact with Its companion L'clls, which it can do by withdrawing its long arm and getting Itself out of circuit. But this rebellion is conduct? ed by whole groups of cells acting to? gether in full harmouy. Now, the object of this "strike" is simply to avoid overwork, for each tiny cell has stored within its minute space only a certain amount of energy, but if you put on the high pressure this is easily consumed by the opera? tion of the brain, and the organlam breaks down from exhaustion. Now, take the first of the problems just stated. When a person takes too much to drink, the cells in those patches of the brain that are responsible for the conduct of muscular movement be? come affected and the man staggers. When the dose is very large, the ?ells, which, although stupefied, have tried to keep their master on his legs, now cease working, and the man sleeps like one dead. Finally, if more than mough of alcoholic drink be taken, the effect on the cells is to paralyze them, and the unfortuuate man dies. There is some relation between ex? traordinary activity of the mind and insanity. Geniuses are apt to exhibit symptoms of mental alienation, and, singular to relate, their children are usually inferior to those of average uen. For instance, not to go out of Eng? end for example. Cromwell was a iiypoehondraic and had visions, Dean Swift inherited insanity and was him self not a little mad, Shelley WOO call? ed by his friends "Mad Shelley/' LTiarles Lamb went crazy. Johnson ivas another hypochondriac. Coleridge was a morbid maniac. Milton w:is of a morbid turn of mind, nearly approach ng insanity (modern Ideas of hades ire largely formed on the description svolved by his diseased imagination), ind Byron said he was visited by ghosts. This mental alienation occurring in the foregoing cases shows that cer? tain specific groups of brain cells have x>mo under the baneful Influence of the guiding spirit called talent or genius, which has used up all the en ?rgy stored In each cell and each group )f cells, to the detriment of the whole, (rlth the result that their ceasing work lias brought about various types of insanity as depicted or. to phrase it more softly, induced disturbance ot [he mental equilibrium. The remaining problem is absent* mlndedness. This is produced by a temporary disjunction of certain jrroups of cells. A man becomes sc ibsorbcd in his study of some partic? ular subject and lends his whole mind to thought that the hard think? ing disorganizes the groups i.f cells i?niployed in the process of reflection, their tentacles being turned all om way, to the detriment of mental ac Hou generally, and so the man with the tentacles of his brain cells turned in the one direction passes along tin streets lost to all observation or mental Inception and does all manner of queer things because lie Is1 not conscious ot what he is doing.

The girls who have complained In various keys because they had dishes to wash may be glad to hear of a young man who can look at the mat? ter through their eyes, perhaps more so. He had shipped as "boy" on s cat? tle steamer for Europe because he wanted to save as much as possible on his transportation, and?but the rest of the story sounds better in his own words: "About 4:30 in the morning I was awakened and told Jo go to work. I hastily dressed, for the first and last time on board, for during the rest of the voyage 1 took care not to undress. It seemed scarcely worth while. I ar? rived on deck and found the steward waiting for me. He showed me into the pantry, introduced me to 'Pants,' as the pantryman was called, and told me that my chief duty during the voy? age would be to wash dishes. "There was already a large pile of dirty dishes waiting to be washed, and I rolled up my sleeves, fixed the hot water and began to work. 1 had these almost done when another and larger lot was brought iu from the dining room. This proved to be the daily pro? gramme. 1 no sooner had one pile washed than others were brought in, and l was never done. 1 don't think 1 ever saw so many dishes before in my life, and 1 hope 1 never shall again. There were CO passengers aboard be? sides the cattlemen, and six meals vrsee served each day. From the dishes that came out to be washed, 1 think that each passenger must have used at least six plates at a meat"? Detroit Free Press.
