found that the ability to balance a
marble OF u perfectly smooth piece of

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 v 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 ana marked
four or five spots on the edges of the
plate. and then asked the subject with
which he experimental tOtip the plate
70 that the marble would run across a
particular spot, q considerable time
elapsed before the subject could de-
termine how to tip the plate 70 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 "a 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 Psychological
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

GLORIOUS KANSAS.

With the crops already harvested and
the prospects for the corn crop. which
may now be considered as safe, the esti-
mated value of the years crops, that is
the cereals alone, is placed at but little
below 500, 900, 900. Add to this the for
age crops, which are exceptionally fine
and abundant, the orchard crops that are
unprecedented in volume and quality
and are bringing extra good prices; then
add the root and sorghum crops that are
almost unlimited in promised yield, and
the live stock that has never been SO
thrifty and free of disease, and surely
the heart of man could not wish for bet
ter surroundings and more suspicious
prospects than now await the citizens OF

HARVEST EXCURSIONS.

The railroads running from the Mis-
souri, river west have authorized series
of Harvest Excursions" from all terri
tory east to all points in Kansas and
other states west aud south of that
stream. The rate will be one fare for
the round trip, tickets being good for
thirty days, with stop-over privileges
both ways within the thirty days limit.
1t is understood that similar arrange
ments will be made by the roads of the
north, east and south.
The dates fixed for the excursions are
August and 90, September 10 and "a
and October s.
OF course the railroads will advertise
extensively, but the territory to which
they extend and to which tickets will be
sold is so large, and the attractions that
will be set up by other sections SO diverse
and tempting, no doubt, that it will at
least be advisable to make some special
effort to turn the tide of excursionlsts
this way.
No section Of the west can show

Kansas, and especially the southern and
southwestern portions, at the present
time, and will on through the summer
and autumn. In view of these facts and
conditions the subject is brought to the
attention of those who have such mat
tiers in hand.
George T. Nicholson, general passen-
ger and ticket agent at Topeka, offers to
assist local committees and others in the
distribution of advertising matter, with
out expense, throughout the sections the
excursions are expected to come from,
and also to afford such other assistance
as he can. The importance Of the mat
ter will commend it to those immedi-
ately interested and who may be
charged with looking after it.
