Within the last generation ■ nnique rat colouy has grown up in soutb Geor gia, a group of bleak and barren is lands of about 1,000 square miles, in the Atlantic ocean several hundred miles east of Cai>e Horn. In the three months of the short warm season a lit tle tussock grass grows, and thia for merly supported a considerable number of rabbits, with a few small mammals of other species. In the last century the islands became the center of the whaling industry. With a favorable summer several thou sand whales are brought to the nine stations, and the carcasses, after the outer blubber has been stripi>ed off, are set adrift along the shore.

It 1» Felt In th» Heed and Not Where It Seam« to Be. Where do you feel the pain? asks the doctor.

Yet the doc tor would be right. In sn address at the University of California Professor G. H. Parker of Harvard told the students that we have been obliged to give up the idea that sensations are spread throughout our bodies, for persons who have loet a iimh often feel sensations that seem to come from the missing member. “Our sensations.“ said Professor Par ker. "are not located in the peripheral parts affected. but In the central nervous system, and within that isirtion of it known as the cerebral cortex." This is the outer layer or gray matter of the brain One may lose an arm. yet have the sensation of pain in the hand, but if a small piece of that par ticular |>art of the brain to which run the sensory nerves from the arm be re moved. one will never again feel any thing in that arm not eveu if the band be placed in the tire.
