QUESTIONI E PROBLEMI. La responsabilità filosofica, secondo _Paolo Janet_.
This is the first number of _La Nuova Filosofia_ which is established, under the editorship of Dr. Andrea Torre, to diffuse in Europe and America the best results of contemporary culture, in relation especially to the life and development of society. (Naples: Dr. Andrea Torre, Vico Lungo Avvocata, 66.)
Cut exhibiting modifications that affect the accessory nucleus. Referred to on page 26 of this number of _The Monist_, in M. Binet's article "The Immortality of Infusoria."
[Illustration: CONJUGATION OF CHILODON CUCULLULUS.]
_A_, beginning of conjugation; _b_, mouth; _n_, nucleus; _nu_, nucleolus; _v. c._, multiple contracticle vesicles.
_B_, division of the nucleolus into two segments, _nu'_, _nu'_; the nucleus _n_ begins to show signs of regression.
_C_, each of the two individuals in conjugation contains two nucleolar segments, brought near together, of which one probably comes from the individual opposite by course of exchange, and will fuse with the segment not exchanged, to form a compound segment (Maupas).
_D_, division of the segment into two portions which grow to unequal sizes; the larger, _nn_, will become the new nucleus, the smaller, the nucleolus of the new formation, _nun_.
_E_, the old nucleus, _n_, reduced to a small pale and rumpled mass, is replaced by the new nucleus _nn_, near by which is seen the new nucleolus _nun_.
Of the fifty or hundred systems of philosophy that have been advanced at different times of the world's history, perhaps the larger number have been, not so much results of historical evolution, as happy thoughts which have accidently occurred to their authors. An idea which has been found interesting and fruitful has been adopted, developed, and forced to yield explanations of all sorts of phenomena. The English have been particularly given to this way of philosophising; witness, Hobbes, Hartley, Berkeley, James Mill. Nor has it been by any means useless labor; it shows us what the true nature and value of the ideas developed are, and in that way affords serviceable materials for philosophy. Just as if a man, being seized with the conviction that paper was a good material to make things of, were to go to work to build a _papier mâché_ house, with roof of roofing-paper, foundations of paste-board, windows of paraffined paper, chimneys, bath tubs, locks, etc., all of different forms of paper, his experiment would probably afford valuable lessons to builders, while it would certainly make a detestable house, so those one-idea'd philosophies are exceedingly interesting and instructive, and yet are quite unsound.
