That the great majority o f persons cse the right hand with greater skill than the left is doubtless due to two Influences — an lunate proclivity and constant practice. The preference shown by most Infants ut the age of one year for the use o f the right hand proves that there is an Inherited tend ency. Further evidence of It is found in the greater ease with which any en tirely new act Is performed by tlie right thau l>y the left hand. Training, how ever, Is au Important factor. A mature person, having lost the right hand by accident, can achieve wonders with the other if he only exercises patience, perseverance und a strong will. The more mysterious of the tw o fac tors iu this problem is the Inborn tend ency. How did It arise? There are exceptions to the rule. Perhaps two out o f every hundred babies are left banded. But when you stop to think of it the natural inclination of tbe other ninety-eight Is remarkable. A great many physiologists have speculated In regard to its cause without reaching any conclusion upon which all could agree. Dr. George M. Gould says in the Popular Science Monthly that right handedness Is so thoroughly Ingratiat ed in human nature that It must have been partially developed lu the savage ancestors of the race. Primitive man, in his opinion, must have felt a definite need for the exercise of his right hand in preference to his left, nnd that ne cessity' must have been recognized und obeyed for a long period continuously. Tbe Impulse could uot well have dic tated bis lmblts lu eating, for knives and forks are of recent origin, tbe modern gun bad not been invented, and writing was practically unknown. Moreover, In such operations as chip ping arrowheads, weaving baskets and wielding clubs, bows and arrows It could uot have mattered much which hand wns employed. When warfare had been carried to such a stage of advancement as to In volve the use of a shield, however, that object was probably held on the left side In order to protect the henrt. Tin'll as a matter of convenience the right arm was left free for the more active function of fighting with spenr nnd sword, and with habitual exercise came special skill. An attendant phe nomenon was a finer organization of that particular center lu the brain which controlled these movements nnd which was situated In the left half of the organ. The brnin is the real seat of all dexterity, and something takes place there In correspondence with ex ternal efficiency. With an increased use of tlie right hand, Dr. Gould thinks, there must have been greater demands upon tlie right eye, because vision must precede the order to strike or to give peaceful signals. Ill this wny there may have been developed n keener power of vision In the right eye than In the left. Dr. Gould assumes that there was and declares that “ right handed people are right eyed” nnd that In their brains tbe center of vision Is on tlie left side. In close proximity to that gov erning the right arm. While civilization was yet at a low level communication was carried on. especially with strangers, largely in the sign language. Barter laid the foundations o f arithmetic and calhsl In to play the digits. The preference al ready given to the right hand in battle may have guided men In the choice for this service nnd also In official and so cial ceremonies. Computation, Dr. Gould points out, was nil Intellectual process which wns conducted In the speech center of the brnin. Nature wns compelled to take sides In locating the latter, nnd she placed it to the left of the middle. I)r. Gould thinks that the choice wns governed by the employ ment o f tlie right hand for giving sig nals. 8o Intimately related are the functions o f speech nnd vision and tlie control o f the muscular efforts with the right arm that action would be quicker If the cerebral centers control ling them were closely associated. Before discussing the cause o f left handedness Dr. Gould cnlls attent.on to the faet thnt with right handed people the left hand Is occasionally called up on to perform a task of greater Impor tance than Its mate. In eating the fork is used more than the knife. In playing n violin or violoncello the fin gering Is doue with the left hand nnd the bowing with the right. It Is sug gested thnt some o f these operations may result from the superiority o f the right eye. Perhaps the latter can watch nnd guide them better when they are performed with the left than with the right hand. Left handedness Is considered by Dr. Gould an Inheritance from ancestors, savage or civilized, who were obliged by some misfortune to abandon the use o f the right hand. An even more Influ ential Injury, be thinks, would have been as to the right eye. With the cul tivation of skill with the left hand, be believes, there followed a change In the organization o f the brain. Owing to disease the center, which had for merly coatrolled action, lost Its vigor and that on the opposite side acqu.red Increased power. Dr. Gould says that tlie speech center was also transferred from the left side to the right o f the brain In consequence. In tlie transmis sion of the cerebral peculiarity to off spring be finds the key to the manifes tation of left handedness st a tender age.—New York Tribune.
