SIR A. KEITH'S NEW CHALLENGE.

DOES THE SOUL DIE WITH

THE BODY?

RIDDLE OF BRAIN AND MIND.

SIR J. BLAND-SUTTON-ON "ENDLESS SLEEP."

Sir Arthur Keith, President of the British Association, whose address to that body upon the theory of man's origin aroused considerable controversy, returned to the attack in the Ladwig Mond lecture, which he delivered at Manchester Univer sity,

"The Implications of Darwinism" was the title of his lecture, in the course of which he stated that medical men could find no ground for believing that the brain was a dual organ-a compound of sub- stance and of spirit. In other words, the spirit dies with the body.

"Every fact known to medical men compels the inference." he said, "that mind, spirit, - soul are the manifestations of the living brain, just as fame is the manifest spirit of a burning candle. At the moment of extinction, both flame and spirit cease to have separate existence.

However much this mode of ex- plaining man's mentality may run counter to long and deeply cherish- ed beliefs, medical men cannot think intherwise, if they are to believe the

evidence of their senses."

Sir Arthur's latest pronouncement

LIFE IN CEMENT CASE.

The life of man who are forced to lie in a cement case as the result of a little mining trouble on the Flanders front ten years ago" is described in pracy letter to a Homs papes-fromifsior Gor don Keansid, late B.E, who is undergoing treatment in a sensa torium at Davos-Dorf, Switzer- land.

has evoked much comment. The BOY KILLS HIS COMRADE. following are some of the views ex- pressed-

Bir Arthur Conan Doyle. "Sir Arthur Keith may be a great. authority on prehistoric man and comparative anatomy, but he knows nothing of psychical research. I do not admit that the brain gives rise to the soul. The brain may crumble away, but the soul still exists, as it uses the brain as an instrument."*

Dr. Barnes, Bishop Of Birmingham.

"Belief in a continued existence

of the human spirit after the death of the body cannot be overthrown by any such analogy. Positive reasons for belief in personal im mortality are, of course, derived from argumenta of a different nature. Goodness, beauty and truth are, we argue, the ultimate values of the universe, and therefore per manent as a part of the highest category of reality."

Sir John Bland-Sutton. "I want to refer to some lines wrote in the Morning Post three years ago, at the end of a review of Flammarion's Death and After. These lines were:-

In the dim future do not seek to

preap Trying to fathom things obscure

and deep; Youth often laughs at death, but

9FT. SNAKE IN THAMES.

LONDON, May 4th.

A green snake 9ft. 7in, long was Inssced and killed yesterday morn ing by a Thames lighterman at Cherry Garden Fler, Rotherhithe,

Lighterman Thomas Tizzard, put ting off in his boat shortly before 8 o'clock, saw a curled up mass floating near the pier. "As It gradually stretched itself out Tix zard was amazed to find it was huge snake..

Making, a noose in the end of a rope he soon had the enake fast and tied to the pier, where it was killed with a chopper.

It is supposed that the snake was heaved overboard from a cargo boat from the East."

It is surprising considering the far-reaching character of the re- strictions upon. State assistante, that the numbers assisted have been to large. But they are not large enough. One of the chief reason for these restrictions is the attitude of hesitation," amounting in practice to oppori- tion, adopted over seae.
