THEY FOUND HER DEAD.
(Detrsit Free Press.l

The other morning. when dozen or
more men formed group at the ferry
dock, one OF them said that poor old
Mary Lee was dead. Every one knew
her. For years and years she has eros
sad on the ferry boats and tramped up
and down the wharves with basket of
notions or fruits, and as she was for one
day so she was forever. She lived alone
in dark rooms in an old hovel, and the
poorest clothes and plainest food were
hers. She died as she had lived, lone
ly and friendless and amidst pinching
poverty.
Eyes, they found her dead in her
wretched old bed this morning." con-
tinued the speaker, land lei me ask if
there is one among us who ever gave
that poor old woman kind word.'
No one answered.
"Did one among US remem ber her
when we sat by our blazing fires and
heard the howl of the winter winds?"
They could not answer yes.
"Who OF US ever thought that she
| might need food or fuel or raiment
| We knew that she was old and alone,
but what man among US had sympathiz-
ing words?"
| No voice replied.
"a word from US would have brought
the sunshine across her path A dollar
a piece would have kept her poor OLE
boiy warm through long winter. Die
W. ever think OF it?"
No one answered.
Living for more than decade among
Christian people, no man could remem
ber of having spoken kind word tc
poor old Mary Lee. Thousands O
Chr istaln men and women passed he
daily and saw her thin, patched gar
ments and pinched face. Yet no on,
ever offered her a helping hand. In
city OF churches no christian man o
woman had spoken christian words T.
one whose eyes would have filled witt
tears at the smallest favor.
After she was dead some one SCI
flowers to place on her cheap collin, All
others felt stings OF conscience as the

She was the laziest little woman
That ever set q mortal crazy;
Twas marvellous hsw my erring spirit
Could be subdued by one 80 lazy;

To use all else exceeding losth,
Asked which OF two things she preferred,
She only lnurmured, "Both9"
1t is no paradox to say SO,
Her every movement was repose;
As ON . sunmsr day the ocean

She only answered. ''Both!"

Matching the graces Of her mind,
To perfect face and form she added
Akeen perception, tsste refined.
But when 1 challenged her to tell me,
What knew not myself in etroth.
Whether her wit or beauty charmed me,
She only murnured 'BOth?'

An tnytn.ous drilling machine has
been devised for enlarglng the lower
or inner ends of holes for blasting
purposes, 80 as to admit a large charge
Of powder being placed at one point.
TO accomplish this tube Is employed
which has its upper end provided with
screw threads, on which Is screwed a
jaw nut, and upon the end of the tube
Is screwed cap, having radial arms.
Through the centre Of the cap Ia passed
rod, having a thumb nut screwed on
It's upper end; this rod extends down
to the bottom of the hole, and Its lower
end is forked and has a oarved bit or
cutter pivoted thereon. The latter
projects through hole in the side of
the tube at the lower end, and within
the Tube Is a slotted guide piece which
prevents the Gutter being drawn up
with the tube. After the usual hole
has boen drilled, this instrument Is In.
serted In the hole to any desired depth
and then rotated. By Fcrewing down
the thumb nut the cutter is gradually
fed outward through the slot, thus
making an enlarged chamber at the

Mr.. j. G,oyn JtGteys has been examin-
Ing the collections Of mollusca made
during the expeditions Of the British
ships Lightning and Porcupine tho
North Atlantic, and, by comparing the
facts thus disclosed with others else
where developed, has come to some
Interesting conclusions. Some Of the
shells lived only ut depths of between
5000 and 10000 feet; but the very same
species had been discovered in fossil
state at height Of more than 1000 feet
in Sicily and Calabria. These mol
tuscan fossils then had lived at one
time IL 900 or II 900 feet lower than
their position when found, or, IN other
words, had been sent up from oc.s
depths much greater distance than
the present height Of Mt. Etna (l0,870
feeD above the level Of the Mediterra-
mean. His observations Of tho post

Educating tho Memory.

NJ. Lccoq de Boisbnudan, late director
Of the EcolG Nationale &c Dessln, in Paris,
trained his pupils with extraordinary sue
cess, beginning with the simplest figures in
memory. They were made to study the
models thoroughly before they tried to
draw them from memory. One fay yoritc
eNprdicnt was to associate the sight memo
ry with the muscular memory by making
his pupils follow at Il distance the outlines
OF the tigulcs with II pencil held in their
hands. After three or four months prac
ticc, their visual memory became greatly
strengthened. They had no difficulty in
summoning images at will, in holding them
steady ana III drawing them. Their copies
were executed with malv vclous fidelity, as
attcstcd by commission of the Institute,
appointed in 1902 TO inquire into the mat
ter, OF which the eminent painter, Horace
Ncrnct, was member. The present SMde,
professor of fine arts, at University Col
legc, NJ. LcSrOs, was a pupil Of Nj. dc
Boisbaudran. lie has expressed his in
dcbtcdncsS 10 the system, and he has as
surcd iuc OF his own success IN teaching
! others III similar way. could mention
instances within my own experience in
which the sisuaizing faculty has become
strengthened by practice; notably, one OF
a prominent engineer, who had the power
OF recalling form with unusual precision,
but not color. Replying to certain inuuir-
les, recently, he SAID that they had induced
him to practice his color memory, and that
he has uonc so with such success that bc
has become quite al adept, and that tho
ncwly-acqulred power was source of
much pleasure to him The memories we
should aim at acquiring arc chiefly based
on n thorough understanding of the objects
observed. In no case is this more surely
effected than in the process of mechanical
drawing, where the portcndcd structure
has to be portrayed so exactly in plan,
elevation, side view and sections that the
workman has simply to copy the drawing
in metal, wood or stone, rs tho case may
be. 1t is undoubtedly the fact that me.
chancians, engineers and architects pos.
sess the faculty of seeing mental images
with remarkable clcarncss and precision.
