transmitter. Each cell branches out into a number of
fine conducting threads, the nerve fibres, which
extend to all parts of the body. A large number of
them run down the hollow backbone, twisted
together into a thick cable, the spinal cord,
admirably protected by the bony and well-
cushioned walls of the spine. Through these tiny
threads, each of which is covered with an insulating
sheath, current flows at the speed of about 70 m.p.h,
carrying messages to and from the brain, with
marvellous speed and accuracy. There is an
elaborate system of relays, condensers, switches,
etc., which permits the transmission of the most
unexpected messages between the brain and each of
the millions of cells it controls, without the least
confusion or delay.
The most complicated radio station, the most up-to-
date telephone exchange is like a tin of sardines
compared to the incredibly elaborate maze of the
nerve system of the brain.

ear knew all that was to be known about the
