The Iutcricr of ,JaDau.

There are no homes nestled down in
copses of wood, or mansions surrounded
by lordly parks. The music Of no dis
tant church bell reaches and lulls me, nor
does the carol of the mountain herdsman,
the chants des vaches come III wavy de-
iciousness from any distant lofty pastur-
age. But in place Of these one looks
upon mountains cutting the sky with
lofty cones green to the very summit,
and clothed in wealth of forests far up
the sloping sides-ranges Of hills from
1000 to 5000 feet high, not stretching
in fatisui:g sameness, but notchcd, bro
ken, bent, i'll short, graceful curves, then
lifting into sharp points never the same
in any direction, and never hurting the
eye by rocky coldness or sandy or
brown barrenncss. But few peaks exist
in the land SO lofty as to reach beyond
the line of vegetation. When the tree
line is passed there comes grassy yerdure
SO luXuriant that the tallest heights
seemed clothed in emerald velvet. One
looks far up narrow valleys, which else
where would be wild gorges, and sees
them terraced far into their depths and
variegated with various crops in all
stages of maturity, from those but lately
planted and freshly green to others
golden and ready for the sickle. Every
mountain slope, every mountain gorge,
is thus tcrraced is far up as streams
offer opportunity for the irrigation.

Facts About Telescopes.

"Oh, no. sailors are not the only per-
sons who purchase telescopes, said q re-
taller in optical goods to a reporter re-
Gently. "A great number are being sold
now. You would be surprised if you
knew how many there arc in this city
who take an interest il star gazing, and
a great many gentlemen have some very
fine telescopes mounted in small OBJ
servatorv ON the roof Of their house. The
sale Of telescopes is rather on the In
crease than the decrease. Yachting is
getting more popular every year, and
every yachtsman, even if he only has
small catboat, must have telescope.
"What do they cost:''
"Any price you like. can give you
one for 81. and can make you one for
just as much money as you like to give.
The most popular kind just now Is
mounted on Il black Or tan leather case.

space and only costs $25. New York

THE MENTAL "eLiND spOT.n
lIr. HOln,es' Theory of the "Idfotic Area''
in the Organ of Intellect.

lSr. Holmes' Theory of the "Idiotic Area''
in the Organ of Intellect.
The analogy between the organ of Wis
ion and that Of thought is so obvious and
familiar that it does not require illustrar
ton. Now, just at the entrance Of the
optic nerve is small circular area, known
as the blind spot. Certain essential ana
tomical elements are wanting in this little
space, and though the visual image Is
painted on it, the picture is blank to
the perception. Is there not blind spot
in the organ Of intellect as we'll as in that
Of vision-an idiotic area, where ideas
are represented, but not transmitted to
the Intelligent center? ssThink mo-
ment,' we say to a friend who is enter
tanning some Ito us) self evident absurd
ity. Paraphrased this would be: You
have got bit Of nonsense on your NEIL
tai blind spot. your idiotic area. Shift it
if OH can into place where the mental
elements are not deficient, as in that
empty region.
must appeal to the experience Of
others if they are not conscious Of such
blind spot III their intelligence. If they
recognize it as fact that they have such
a spot, they can account for many abb
s,lrdities and contradictions in their own
field Of thought and that of others. For
this idiotic area is the vacant lot where
inconsistent, incoherent, unrelated ideas
come together and disport themselves, or
lie loose, scattered over it. Many simple
puzzles and idle fancies find their way
there and claim a right Of domicile, until
awakened reflections drives them away.
Let me give an instance or two. ''Ex-
cuse me- said the barber to the lantern
jawed man, If put my finger in your
mouth to press your cheek out" ''No,
no. said the man he was shaving. II
am afraid you'll bite me- Dean Swift
mentions in one of his letters to Stella an
cdd whim of his own: Il had my mouth
full Of water, and was going to spit it
out, because I reasoned with myself,
how could write when my mouth was
fullF' In the persons we call ''abeent
minded the idiotic area extends over n
wider space than it covers in most indi-
viduals.
This theory-for dare not announce
it as a positive discovery-is u very cou-
venient application to cover ones own
mental slips and to account for those Of
ones neighbor. No person of good tenn
per and philosophic habit Of mind could
take offense at the question, politely
asked, Does not that view Or that argu-
ment come from your idiotic area?"
When John Stuart Mill suggested the
possibility of universe where two and
two would make five, I should have
wished to hint in Il modest and civil way
that this supposition had the idiotic area
as its natural habitat.-Oiver Wendell
Holmes in Atlantic.

hereditary Deafness.

For several months Professor Bell has
been going deep into his researches on the
subject Of hereditary deafness. He has
conducted wonderfully large corre-
spondence with people in all parts of the
world to hunt up every scintilla Of svi-
dence necessary to trace out genealosies.
He will eventually make public his dis
coveries, showing hereditary deafness Ia
the same line Of DESCENT for 200 yea1s,
The professor has also constructed a yalu-
able machine for talking with deaf mutes.
1t is something like the typewriter Ia
theory, having a keyboard which turns
up big, plain letters in sucl, a way as to
construct q " ord. and to facilitate cop<er>

The world In the morning light was
beautiful TO Onatoga's eyes. The flow
ers beneath his feet seemed to smile,
and poured forth richest perfumes /;
the sun was glorious ia its golden |
breastplate, to do him honor; while
the lark and the mock bird sang his
praise in joyous songs.
He had not long TO wait. Soon, afar
of, the dreaded Piasau was seen NOV
ing heavily through the clear morning
air. Oanatgo, drawing himself to the
full measure of his lofty height, raised
his death song. The duh futter of
huge wings came nearer, and q great
shadow came rushing over the sunlit
fields. Opatoga, never ceasiDg his
chant, faced the Piasau fear!essly. A
sudden fierce swoop downward In
that very moment twenty poisoned
arrows, ioosed by twenty faithful
hands, sped true to their aim. With
scream that the bluffs sent rolling back
in sharp and deafenIng echoes, the foul
monster dropped dead. The Great Spir-
it loved the man who had been willing
