HoT SPRINGS, Ark Dec lS-This city is
now in a roar over the ludicrous manner in
which South Hot Springs, better known as
Jamestown, has been taken in A few days
ago an old man of genteel appearance
drifted into the south end of the town and
represented himself as California million
aire. He talked smoothly of his vast pos
sessions in California. These included rail-
roads, vineyards, fast horses, orange groves
and ranches He desired TO engage a dozen
responsible men for good positions that
would pay from 81, coo to $1,000 year, aud
he believed he could find such men right
here
This talk was eagerly swallowed by the
people, and they became closely attached to
the old man, who said his name was Harper.
They showered favors on him, and would not
receive payment Finally a grand supper
was given in his behalf by about fifty men,
and there were flowers. wines and music. At
the banquet the old man made speech and
said he wished to give his friends genuine
mark of his affection He retired to a room,
and in half an hour returned with an armful
of envelopes "These, friends said he, ICON
tain my checks for various amounts, and the
only stipulation | make is that they must
not be opened until tomorrow. Then there
was more rejoicing, and the old man was
fairly worshipped.
One woman could not stand the pressure
and ran home aud opened her envelope. She
found it contained leaf of an old almanac
i. with proverbs like this: "a fool and his
money are soon parted = "All that glitters is
not gold etc. Boiling with indignation she
returned to the banquet rooms and showed
her check. Then there was simultaneous
opening of envelopes, AMI what scene fol-
lowedl All contained pieces of almanac jokes
The old man was put in Jail on the charge of
fraud. The specific charge was obtaining
$50 from Squire Witter 1t developed that

SETS TYPE WITH ONE HAND.
A One-Armed Printer Who Man.
AGES to Earn Good Wages.

The Portland OregOnian says: A pOr-
ton of the matter in this issue of The
Oregonian was set by a one-armed
printer, Henry Penrod, young man
hailing from Washington, c., who ar
rived in this city Sunday evening and
'subbed' last night for ''slug 10"
The oldest man in the composing
room has never before seen man
with only one arm working at the
printing business, although several
have heard of such thing, and one old
hand who wears glasses and ScornS to
tell a lie has story about having seen
a man without arms setting type with
his teeth. The general opinion among
| the compoSitOrS, however, is that there
is some mistake about this.
Any one who has seen type set would
deem it impracticable and: almost i'm
possible for man with only one hand
to make any Roadway at the work. This
young man, however, gets along very
well, and can do as much work as the
average printer with two hands. He
props up his stick at an angle of about 80
deg. the lower end in the ''t' box. and
his right hand travels rapidly
around to the various boxes,
and he fills stick in short
order. He empties his stick himself,
eorrects his own proofs, takes copy
from the file just as it comes. and, in
short, does with one hand what some
jOurheymen cannot do well with two.
When he runs across word to be set
in italic he goes to the italic case. sets
the word up in his mouth, and then
places it in his stick. When he dis
tributes he takes off the movable part
of his stick, places handful of matter
| lengthwise on it and goes ahead.
| 1t has long been the idea of printers
| who believed in the theory of evolution
that in course of time the printer will
| develop third arm from the middle of
his chest, which can be used to hold the
| stick while he sets type with both his
right and left hands, the only objection
TO this style being the liability of the
| stick to get hot from friction and melt
| the type, unless boy stood by to pour
warer on it. Some of those who have
been waiting for this arm to develop
might try propping up their sticks in
! the case and setting with the two hands
! they have and see how it goes.

HOW LONG TO THINK.
Measurement of. Thought Now a
Possibility

Possibility.
''And nOw," said tired-looking as
sistant librarian in the Astor library,
''as if there were not enough subjects
open for study and for the multiplied
ton of books, DR.. ]. Nick. Cattell comes
out with an elaborate paper describing
measuring the length of time it takes to
think. 1t is true enough that of MAX
ing many books there is no end.' There
Will be books written about this now,
and all sorts of theories will be founded
on it and eXpounded at enormous
length.
1.-THE machine is ingenious enough.
A pen is attached to the prong of a
tuning fork, which is kept vibrating at
a constant rate by means of electricity.
This pen draws a line, and small
chunks of this line, so to speak, can be
cut out. thus measuring time down to
the one en-thOuSandth part of second.
By an application even more ingenious
than the machine, the learned gentle
man is able to tell how long it takes to
think.
For instance, he says it takes lis of
a second to distinguish between blue
and red. 1t takes 10 OF a second to
recall the name of a printed word. 1-6 of
a second to remember the name of a
printed letter, and 4 of a second to
name familiar picture in your mind"
But urged the reporter, that must
be wrong. Some people have to pick
out word by recalling each letter and
spelling it OUT
True said the librarian; "and
rapidity of thought varies with the in
dividual. The only value [ can see to
the whole thing, except to build theories
on, is to measure the rapidity of per-
cannot, it seems to me, be established.
Some days it will take longer to think
than it will on other days. 1t depends
on your health and on circumstances.
1t takes me considerable longer to rec
OgniZe man if | owe him any money
than it does if | expect him to pay me
something. And | have known my
wife to take half an hour to decide be-
tween two cOlors when it was matter
of new gown."
sit is all very ingenious, though, and
the result DR.. Cattell has obtained are
some of them very interesting. He says.
for example, that it takes twice as long
to think of the name of the last month
as to think of the name of the next, and
it takes 1-20 of second longer to trans
late word from foreign language to
ones native tongue than to reverse the
operation. Then he claims that senSa-
ton travels through the nerves to the
brain at about sixty miles an hour. Of
course the distance is so short that we
cannot perceive the lapse of any time,
but time does elapse while the sensation
is travelling. | should say, however.
that the rate of travel would differ
widely in different people"
