Give Me Time to Think.

n.
We can determine the interval between
the production of some external change
which oxcites mental process and move
ment made after these processes have
taken place.. Thus, if people join hands
in circle, and one Of them. A, presses
tho hand of his neighbor, d. and he as
soon as possible afterward the hand of
@, and so on round and round, the sec
ond pressure will be felt by each of the
persons at an interval after the first, the
time depending on the number of persons
in the circle. After the hand Of one of
the persons has been pressed an interval
very nearly constant in length passes
before ho can press tho hand Of his
neighbor. h t
This interval, which wo may call the
reaction time, is made up of number
of factors, A period elapses before the
pressure is changed into nervous mes
sage or impulse. This time is very short
in the case of touch; but light working
on the retina seems to effect chemical
changes in il, and these take up some
little time, probably about 1-50 second.
After nervous impulse has been gen.
Grated it moves along the nerve and spi-
nal cord to the brain, not travelling with
immense rapidity like light. but At 'Jue
rate of an express train. In the brain
| it must. move 70 o centre hayin,s to do
without sensation, where changes arc
brought about through which further
impulse is sent on to centre having to
do with motion, and motor impulse
having been prepared there is sent down
to the hand Another pause, 1920 to
LOO of second, now occurs, while the
muscle is being excited, after which the
fingers are contracted and the reaction
is complete The entire time required
is usually from Ito to is second.
The reaction varies in length with diff
ferent individuals and for the several
senses, but rs long as the conditions re-
Ipain the same the times are very con-
slant, only varying few thousandths of
second from each other. One may
wonder how it is possible to measure
such short times, and with great accu-
racy. It would not be easy il we had
not the MD Of electricity, but when it is
called to mind that movement made in
London is almost instantaneously regis
tered in Edinburgh, it will not seem in
conceivable that VIC can record to the
thousandth of a second the instant sense
stimulus is produced aud the instant a
movement is made. The time passing
between these two events can be meas
ured by letting tuning fork write on
revolving drum. Tho tuning fork can be
regulated to vibrate with great exact
ness, say 500 times second. It writes
a wavy line on the drum, each undula-
ton long enough to be divided into TWEEN
ty equal parts, and thus time can be
measured to the ten thousandth Of a
second. -Nincteenth Century.

Remarkable Poker Hands.

A party of Scranton (Pa } poker play
ers, who are in the habit Of having a
quiet game together once a week, had q
most peculiar experience with the cards
few nights ago. There were four in
the party, and they we're playing their
favoritc game Of draw with ten-cent
ante and dollar limit. The game had
been 6piritless and not at all exciting for
half an hour or 50, when three Of them
got hands before the draw that we're
worth something, while the fourth man
got nothing at all. The player on the
left of the dealer and the next man TO
him said they would take two cards
apiece, and the player on his right said
be would take book just to keep them
company. The dealer then dealt him
self two, and the betting began.
"I'll bet ten cents" the first man re-
marked, unconcernedly. The other three
each raised it ten, and the first better
made it all good- and went them ten
more When it came around to the
dealer the second time he raised them
all quarter, and they stayed in like
little men and came back at him. For
two or three times around a quarter was
the highest raise. Then the man who
had drawn the book, much to the sur
prise of the trio, went them all half a
dollar better. and they stood his raise
like heroes, and for several times around
the half dollars were put up with clock
like regularity, not one of the four show
ing the least inclination TO call the others
Finally the dealer said he would OBJ
serve the limit rule, and make the rails
an even dollar, just to keep up the in
terest, and the other three responds
with alacrity. Again the dealer raise
them a dollar more, but that did nc
drive any of them out or force any on
to call, and "make it good and raise 20
dollar" was the order for a number (
times around. and the game was gettin
to be unusually interesting.

TWO FURIOUS STORMS.
The Country Around Parkersburg
Suffers Severely.

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, July 9,-Two
destructive storms have visited this section
during the past two days, Rain. with
thunder, lightning and hail and violent
winds swept the territory within radius
Of thirty-fve miles, doing a large amount
of damage. A ride through the territory
yesterday showed bridges swept away,
buildings unroofed, trees and fences down
and crops in deplorable condition. This
is between here and Athens, o., and along
the Little Kanawha and the Ohio river.
TWO FATALITIES.
Two fatalities are reported, John Thorn
son, farmer, was instantly killed bytlight-
ming.
Howard James attempted to ford a swollen
stream at an accustomed place and washed
down with the torrent.
Last night the second storm added to the
destruction. Houses were blown down,
cellars flooded, foundations undermined
and a large amount of damage done. Sew
eral inches of rain fell, rushing through the
streets like millrace. Roads are washed
out and telegraph lines Frustrated.
FREsHET AT PITrsBURG.
PITTsBURG, July "a heavy rain last
night and to-day has created treshet in
all the streams in this section of the country
and raj lroad travel has been impeded TO
day by numerous washouts.
A Uniontown special says Redstone creek
has broken its bounds and submerged all
the lowlauds of the town, and hundreds
OF people are standing on the bridges
watching the angry waters sweep by. Man
are carrying women out of their houses on
the low places to the higher ground, and
several feet Of water is standing in the
houses.
LEITH SUBMERGED.
At Leith the whole place is submerged,
and the trains are running through several
feet of water, while the rising water
threatens to raise the houses from their
foundations.
At Brownfield the yard tracks were
washed out and 90 feet of water is standing
in cut of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
Two railroad bridges from above the town
have been carried away and lodged against
the trestle in Uniontown.
The Uniontown express is still lying here,
being unable to proceed further south on
account of washouts.
The rain is still pouring down. but it is
thought that the worst is passed.
The rain will do much damage to the
growing crops. especially corn, which is
badly washed out in many places
At Washington there was terrific rain
storm which flooded collars and yards
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad bridge
at Triadelphia was carried off by the high
waters during the storm.
CLOUD BURST.
KANSAS CITY, July 9-The most disas-
trous storm that has visited Kansas City
for years ragged from o'clock last night
until IL. During the height of the storm
Eighteenth street for seven blocks
became a turbulent river, which flooded
all houses to a depth of two feet,
and at Twenty-third and Vine streets
a fifteen-foot culvert was inadequate to the
immense volume of water which backed up
and carried away two houses, the inmates
of which were only rescued with the great
est difficulty. Those who saw the storm
say that it was undoubtedly a cloud-burst

merous, but thus far no fatalities have been
