MYSTERY OF THE MIND.
:
One of the Grnet Riddles That Scieno
'Ottrtnot Solve.
Mind Is 'he great unsolved mystery
of tu'ience. No clew bus been discov
ered as to what mind is. and yet sol.
mi lists are ever striving to (lull some
clew that will enable them to solve
this greatest of all mysteries.
A San Francisco correspondent asks
me the question:
"Since our state of temperament is
subject to change from normal into
several different conditions, as sad,
glad, angry, happy, excited, etc.. Is it
the body that controls the mind or
mind that controls the body?"
This Is an important question. In
mentologtcal laboratories there hnvo
been made In recent years extensive
researches. People have been tested
by delicate recording electrical Instru
ments. Questions have been asked
and statements made to these persons
ana the action of mind on body de
tected by the apparatus. Increased
heart action or decreased nervous ten
sion change in bodily temperature,
pulse, res plmtlon, aspects of the face.
eyes, lips these and many more ef
fects have been studied and results re-
corded In many books.
These are of crent lnterpsf tn r1ntv
