This Week’s Cover
- This is a scientific painting by Professor S. Dohanos, a physiological study in reflex action. Observe that each child is involuntarily performing an act because an impulse has been transmitted from a sense organ to a nerve center to a muscle. First, Mr. Impulse, the ice-cream man, enters a child’s eye. This agitates a nerve center near the child’s stomach, which in turn agitates his muscles hastily in the direction of his mother. The mother automatically opens a pocketbook and agitates the contents until some money turns up. Then Mr. Impulse, feeling silver in his hand, reflexes ice cream, and in time this gives him the impulse to go clean up at another beach. If learned physiologists don’t understand this explanation, at least laymen will.
