DOOMED, HE LEFT
BRAIN TO SCIENCE
Physician Hoped Its Examination Might
Help to a Remedy for Incurable
Disease.
When Dr. George S. Couant died
suddenly Friday at his residence. No.
148 East Eighteenth street, N. Y., it
was found that be hn<l bequeathed
his brain to Cornell University. 'I lie
object had been to throw some new
light upon the disease which he knew
must soon end his life.
Dr. Conant, a Bellevue graduate,
settled in the neighborhood of Grara
ercy Park twenty-five years ago and
had a large praclico. He discovered
some years ago that he bad diabetes.
For this disease 110 "sure cure" has
been discovered. The secretions of
the kidneys contain more and more
of grape sugar, and the patient wastes
away. In Dr. Conant's ease the de
posit of lime salts in the arteries,
which usually accompanies old age,
showed itself to such an extent that
bia arteries were bardenod as they
are in some very old men who have
died of paralysis or apoplexy. Dr.
Conant gave bis medical friends his
own expert observations oil his ail
ment.
Medical men have come to believe
of late years that the origin of diabe
tes is in the brain. They have ob
served that a derangement of the
fourth ventricle of the brain is ac
companied by a derangement of the
glycoglnic function of the liver, that
is, the work of that organ in dispos
ing of the sugar chemically produced
in the proce.-j) of digestion. An ac
curate demonstration as to whether
this theory is true or false will be of
great value.
Dr. Burt Wilder, of Cornell Univer
sity, is recognized as a leader in in
vestigations relating to the brain.
Years ago lie organized a "brain
society," each of wlio.se members
agrees to leave by will his brain to
the society (or scientific purposes.
One ot the most important objects of
this society is the study ot the barins
of distinguished persons.
Dr. Wilder is also qualilied above
most specialists to examine diseased
or abnormal brain tissue. It was
with this in mind that Dr. Conant de
sired him to examine his own brain,
with a view to recording exact scien
tific observations on the relation of
the fourth ventricle to diabetes.
Dr. Otto Maier, of No. 212 Kast
Eighteenth street, was a neighbor
and close friend of Dr. Conant, and
was summoned when Dr. Conant
died. He said that he had frequently
been consulted by Dr. Conant. "He
was a brave man," said Dr. Maier.
"Conant never seemed to let his
knowledge that he had an incurable
disease iuterfere with his work. Ho
studied as If he hoped to live for
ever."
That the brain of Dr. George S.
Conant was not sent to Cornell Uni
versity was solely due to a blunder.
He had bequeathed his gray matter
to the Cornell Brain Society and his
wishes would surely have been car
ried out but fof one unfortunate
fact.
The brain was spoiled for scientific
purposes. Undue haste in placing
the body of the doctor in the hands of
uu undertaker probably robbed sci
ence of the chance to determine
whether or not the cause of diabetes,
from which Dr. Conant died, is a
diseased condition of the fourth ven
tricle or the medulla oblougata and
in what manner the ailmeut spread.
There was no mention of how he
wished his brain to he disposed of in
L_. ">t's will. But he left a mem
orandum to the effect that his body
should bo cremated and his brain
sent to Dr. Burt Wlldei, of the Cor
nell Brain Society. This memoran
dum was not found until too late.
He was cremated Sunday at Fresh
Pond, and the flames consumed body
and brain alike.

OVER A MILE A MINUTE,
OVER EIGHTEEN HOURS
Pennfty Makes a Kemarkable Run of
Speed from Philadelphia to
Chicago.
The Pennsylvania railroad accom
plished one of the most remarkable
feats in railroading on record Fri
day, bringing through a special train
from Philadelphia to Chicago, a dis
tance of 822 miles, in eighteen hours
and fourteen minutes, thereby win
ning a stake of $250,000 for F. M.
Pease, a wealthy Chicago railway
supply manager. The average run
ning time of the special was more
than a mile a minute.
Mi. Pease, with his wife and child,
hod been in Philadelphia for several
days. Thursday he found that a deal
involving 8250,000 necessitated his
presence in Chicago before the close
of banking houis Friday. It was
then after ,'i o'clock in 'lie afternoon,
too late for him to make the trip on
the Chicago Limited, the fastest re
gular train between the cities, which
daily makes the run in twenty hours
anil forty-five minutes.
At a rate of about 82 a mile, or
$1,G34, he chartered a special train
from the Pennsylvania officials at
Philadelphia. In less than an hour
the railroad officials had the special
started 011 its great. run, the train
speeding out of Philadelphia with Mr.
Pease and family aboard at exactly
4.0K p. m., eastern time. Friday
morning at 9.22, central time, the
special pulled into Chicago, the rail
road officials keeping their agreement
to land Mr. Pease not only before the
close of bankitig hours, but getting
him there before the hanks opeued.
