THE PIGS IN GLOVER.
Curious Scientific Origin of a Popular al
Amusing Puzzle.

Amusing Puzzle.
The pigs in Clover puzzle had a
rather curious scientific origin. A
student in physiological psychology
named Martenfeldt, while making
researches in some determinations
OF the sensativeness of the tactile
sense under the direction of Helm
holzt, the great German investigator,
found that the ability to balance u
marble on a perfectly smooth piece of
plate glass depended upon the delicacy
of what is known as the reaction time,
that is, depends upon the quickness or
the nerve current in receiving the i'm
preston that the marble will roll,
sending the impression TO the controll-
ing organs in the cerebellum that con-
tract or relax the muscles of the arm,
and the degree of responsiveness in
the nervous end organs OF the fingers
which hold the piece of glass. Marten-
feldt found that If he placed the marble
in the center of the plate and marked
four or five spots on the edges OF the
plate and then asked the subject with
which he experimental to tip the plate
SO that the marble would run across "a
particular spot, considerable time
elapsed before the subject could de-
termine how to tip the plate to make
the marble roll as required. When
Martenfeldt completed the apparatus
and placed rings of pasteboard about
the center of the plate. with holes for
the marble to run through, the average
result of his experiments gave re.
makable psychological law. This was
that the "reaction time' depended
upon the size of the circles of paste
board which made an impression upon
the field of vision of the retina, and
was in direct proportion to the diameter
of the circles expressed in millimeters.
Martenfeldt's experiments developed
the fact that effects of practice and at
tention diminish the psycho-physical
reaction; time and fatigue increases it,
Thus he found that the will time neces-
sary for choice between two motions
was reduced by practice, for three sub
jects of experiment from .0S0 second to
.050, from .097 second to .0535,
and from .098 second to .0G2 respect
lively. For choice among five and ten
possible motions the effect of practice
was yet more marked; thus with five
possible choices. the will time of one
person was reduced by practice from
.239 second to .0S3; and of another.
with ten possible choices, from 1858
second to .094. For each single days
series of experiments the time dimin-
ished faster at first than subsequently,
but in many cases more distinctly on
the second than on the first day of ex-
pertinent. The apparatus used by
for his experiments got ON
the market as puzzle in curious
way. Martenfeldt sent one of his
plates to an American friend, DIR. Her
mann Meyer, of Philadelphia. and at
the Doctors house a quick-witted
business man OF Waverly, N. Y, saw
it. recognized how taking puzzle it
would make If simpllied took out
patent in February, and put 1t on the

A STRANGE COMBAT.
How an American Boy Resented II Royal
Jap's Impertinencp.


When he was only seven years old
Prince Haru had an unexpected wrest-
ling match with small American boy
of his own age. 1t was at school
entertainment in Toxic, and it began
by Prince Haru's noticing that the
young American kept on his Tam O
Shanter cap in the princely presence.
$50 and tell that boy to take Off his
hiatt" ordered the small prince to his
aide-de-camp.
Before the officer could reach the
offender, the insulted princeling slipped
from his chair, strobe down and
knocked off the hat with his own hand.
Young America never stopped to think
who the aggressor was, but struck
back, and in few minutes the future
Emperor and one OF our future Presi-
dents had clinched. and were slapping
and pounding each other in the most
democratic manner. The Mortified
mobiles of the Princes suite and the
frightened parents of the young Ameri-
can separated them, and led them
apart, neither combatant feeling any
regret for what he had done.
That boy slapped me first, when |
wasn't doing any thing to him. per-
sisted the young American, whose
parents were almost expecting to be
arrested or bcheadcd for the unprece-
dented treatment of such sacred be-
ing as the Imperial Crown Prince.
II have punished that boy for his
impoliteness in wearing his hat in my
presence" said the pompous prince.
ling, frowning at his suite, Tightening
his little sword-belt and strutting up
and down like u young game-cock.
The tableauX and exercises went on
quietly after that prelude, and when
supper-time came, Prince Haru was
seen eating pink and white ice cream
elbow to elbow with his late opponent,
and gallantly feeding his own sponge
cake and eclairs to the opponents

FARM AND FlRESlDE.

Cold tea Is the best thing with
which to clean grained wood, Never
use ammonia for this kind OF work.
Much of the success in growing root
crops depends upon keeping them clear
of weeds. Cultivate often; also the
later corn. If there are no weeds a
light soil is an excellent mulch in u dry
time.
-Pig-pens in summer are an abomi-
nation. Thousands of pigs are kept in
them at loss, or with doubtful
profit, when with a small outlay for
suitable fencing, they could have the
benefits of grass and ground, and do
better and make meat far more palata-
BILE.
There is always plenty to be done
in destroying insect pests that injure
the fruits and vegetables in the orchard
or garden. Whatever means are em-
ployed care should be taken to do
thorough work from the time they
make their appearance until they dis
appear.
Root lice, says an exchange, are
more destructive to vegetation than
those which prey upon the stems and
leaves. The louise which attacks the
roots of the apple tree is one of the
most destructive of its class. This
pest sometimes works on the naked
trunk, where it may be detected by a
mass of little granulations about the
size of cabbage seed.
Meadows should not be mown too
close nor should grass become too ripe
before moving. When meadows be-
come unproductive, despite the farm
er's best care and treatment then the
remedy is to plow up the aged grass
and release the soil from its indurated
and inactive state by thorough tillage
for couple of years. Then if desira-
BILE, it can, by reseeding, be restored
to its prime condition.
Water from some wells is too cool
to be given to animals. Especially in
very warm weather it is judicious to
draw the water long enough in advance
to allow its chill to be removed before
the animals drink it, especially if they
are fatigued. A handful of fine corn
meal stirred into bucketful of water
will be acceptable, and prevent injury
from excessive drinking of cold water

A wELL.TRAlNEp TEAL.
How It Expressed Affection and Fricndsh
for It's Mnster.


So much praise is accorded to the i'm
telligence of the higher dumb animals
that we sometimes forget the large
number OF unpretcnding little creatures
who are willing to be loving and COM
panionable, u we will but encourage
them. A writer in Macmillan's Maga-
zine thus describes duck, which evil
IDENTIFY possessed n power of thought
and feeling quite equal to that OF some
dogs:
This was not domestic duck, but
teal, which my friend brought down
with his gun, slightly wounded. Out
of compassion, he tied 1t up in hand
kerchief and carried it home The
captive soon grew accustomed to its
new mode of existence, and strongly at
tuched to all the members of the fam
lily, seeking for them when IL felt lone
ly, and always exhibiting anger and
distress in the presence of strangers
When cat or dog was fondled in its
presence, ii would run to the spot, adj
minister few vindictive blows to the
animal with its soft bill, and solicit
caress for itself The most curious
thing in its history was that it took a
special liking to its captor and singled
him out to receive it's most marked at
tentions.
When he went away TO business in
the morning, the teal would accompany
him to the street door to see him off,
then return contentedly to the yard;
and in the afternoon it would again re-
pair to the door, always left open, and,
standing composedly on the middle of
the step, await its masters return, for
this teal took account OF time. If,
while it stood there watching the road,
stranger came in, it would open its
beak, hiss, strike at his legs, showing
as much suspicion and sense of pro-
prietorship as dog does, when it barks
and snaps at visitor. It's owners ar
rival was greeted with demonstrations
of affection and JOY. 1t would follow
him into the house, and spend an hour
or two very happily, if allowed to sit
on his feet, or nestle against them on
| the hearth-rap.
