Education and Insanity." No one doubts that there is a close and constant connection between the physical condition of the human brain and the psychical condition of the hu man mind. the brain is abnormal, and the produc- tion of a morbid condition of brain may ’be quite sufficient of itself to induce insanity. Dr. Clark, superintendent of the Queen street asylum, in the course of a paper at the late Charities Confer- ence, contended that our present modes ofâ€"school management are responsible‘ for part of the prevalent and apparently increasing lunacy. If this is so. the matter is one well worthy of the most 1” every form Of Insanity i two feet thickness, and one side was tunately, the true culture method is a!» so the interesting one. and in all proba~ ability, if school work were made more. interesting and were so conducted as to call into exercise a wider range of iotcl~ Iectual pow'ers, there would be but little ground for such criticisms and warnings as men like Dr. Clark feel it incumbent; on them to utter.â€"Toronto Star. -â€"â€"o -‘ .â€"_._.-.. A Gigantic Piece of Wood. Thirty tons of California redwood in one piece is now on the way to England to prove to William Waldorf Astor‘s English friends that the biggest trees in the wotld grow in the United States. Mr. Astor, while entertaining a party of British noblemen, got into a discuSsiou over the size of the giants of the Wee» tern forests. 'I‘o back up his contour tion that a plank cut crosswise from a log of redwood would make the top of a table that would accommodate forty persons, Mr. Astor gave an order to the firm of the estate of John F. Carr, New York, to obtain such a plank and ship it to his country seat, Cliveden, in Eng- Iand. Mr. Carr forwarded the order to the San Francisco branch at the firm, whose representatives, finally. atâ€" ter a long search, hit. upon a tree in Humboldt county, Cal., as the One. which would furnish the best sample of redwood. The tree was felled, and a cross section four feet throuin was cut. and prepared for shipment to England. This section of wood measures 16 feet 6% inches across its face, and the table will be nearly that in diameter. A two- ineh wire cable was drawn tightly a- round the gigantic piece of wood. and it was hoisted into a framework of 8 by 16 inch timbers which had been laid across four flat ears. In this way the enormous load was transported from the forest to‘ Eureka. The block, when It left the forest, contained 12.920 square feet, or 1,076 cubic feet. of timber. The tree from which the section was on: stood 346 feet high, and tapered from 18 feet diameter at the butt to 10 inch- es at the top. Its bark was 20 inches thick. and sap streak two inches thick. At Eureka the slab was cut dam: to highly polished. In the heart of every redwood tree is a hollow. and the slut- from which Mr. Astor's big table will be made is no exception to the NIH. but clever workmen carefully inlaid tttt' hollow places with blocks of redwood from the some true. after which tht- poi ishintr was done. ‘I‘hc German :llll' .llaric llackfcld. with the slab, let: San Francisco .‘Iay IS. and will reacl: no English port in the latter part o." Sep earnest and careful consideration. It is . . tcmbr‘r. Then the redwood slab will bad enough to have to maintain at great public expense a costly system ol sccools: if we are using: this system to prepare candidates for lunatic asylums we ought to know it. It will not do any good to dismiss Dr. Clark's state- ments with contempt. Ills standing among alicuists is far too high to war- rant nnc doing so, and in any case it is uuphilosophical to reject without con- sideration criticism that purports to be based on observation. There would be little chance for human progress if eve- ry man who takes up an unusual or an extreme position were to be set aside as a “crank.” It is not to be assumed, and certain- ly Dr. Clark (lid not imply. that educa- tion in itself promotes insanity; he only meant that the manner in which school work is done has that tendency. In all probability his contention would be that the present excessive exercise of the memory is responsible for the evil aw gaiust which he so energetically warns the cointnuoity. That there is a close connection between this kind of “ cram mine,” and the pressure to force pupil; through written examinations our best teachers are fully and sorrowfully n- ware; and if this is the root, or any considerable part, of the evil, then it is quite possible to specify the proper rem- edy; it is to teach for culture and not for examinations. to details, Condeum the prevalent brok- work in schools, and say that pupils should have more opportunity to curry I on clinical investigations for the put-l pose of ill-covering knowledge, instead 0t acquiring it at second hand. The ordinary method of teaching a pupil chemistry, physics, physiotzraplty, and even agriculture, is to make him learn It is probable that, d I Dr. ‘lark would, If he were to enter in- ‘ cousuucw ' be transported by rail to (liivcden. and set up on the lawn as a table for lawn fetcs. o-c>-»-â€" _ A Clipper-Built Coffin.
