Quicker Than Lightning.

Gas quick as lightning" is phrase
colloquially used to express the max
imum of rapidity. But according to
a contemporary electricity is out
stripped by that old-fashioned ma
chine, the human body, by which it
appears power can, so to speak, be
generated in the brain, transmitted
through the nerves and developed in
the muscles in an infinitesimal frac-
ton of a second, says the Electrical
Review. 1t is stated that pianist,
in playing a presto of Mendelssohn,
played $685. notes in four minutes
and three seconds. The striking in.
each of these, it has been estimated,
involved two movements OF the FIN
ger, and possibly more. Again, the
movement of the wrists, elbows and
arms can scarcely be less than one
movement for each note. AS twenty
four notes were played each second,
and each involves three movements,
we would have seventy-two volun-
tary movements per second.
Again, the place, the force. the du
ration of each of these movements
was controlled. All these motor re-
actions were conditioned upon the
knowledge of the position of each fin
ger of each hand before it was moved,
while moving it, as well as of the au-
ditOrv effect to force and pitch, all of
which involves at least equally rapid
sensory transmissions.
five add to this the work of the
memory in planning the notes in
their proper position, as well as the
fact that the performer at the same
time participates in the emotions the
selection describes, and feels the
strength and weakness of the per-
Torrance, we arrive at a truly bewil-
dering network of impulses, coursing
along at inconceivably rapid rates
Such estimates show, too, that we
are capable of doing many things at
once. The mind is not unit, but is
composed of higher and lower CEN
tiers, the available fund of attention
being distributed among them.

A LESSON IN CAUSE AND EFFECT

A LESSON IN CAUSE AND EFFECT
This country has but about one
twentieth of the worlds population,
but it consumes % per cent OF the
worlds crop of sugar, 80 per cent of
the worlds production of coffee,
nearly one-third of the worlds pro-
duction of iron, about a third of the
worlds steel and copper, more than a
quarter of the worlds cotton and
wool, a third of the India rubber of
the world and more than a half of
the worlds supply of tin and 40 per
cent of all the coal from the worlds
mines. The reason that this country
consumes so much is that it has the
wherewithal to pay for it, and the
reason it has the wherewithal is be-
cause it has protected and diversified

What a XermOnter Saws.

The guests at the homelike YER
mont house found pleasure in gather
ing round the old-fashioned Franklin
and under the influence of it's cheering
heat, relating personal recollections
of days gone by. Mr.. W. T. Herrick,
a venerable guest from Winooski,
near Burlington, VT, told of his first
acquaintance with Saratoga. Forty
six years ago last July, he said, g
was here on my wedding tour. Ny
wife, who was then Is years old, and
|, put up at the white house with the
big pillars in front of it on South
Broadway, near the present Windsor,
now the Foley House, and there we
stayed, enjoying for some days the
gay life of Saratoga. We then drove
to our home in Vermont, over 200
miles of country road, in an open
wagon, under burning summer sun.
For the past thirty-seven years we
have been regular visitors to Sarato-
ga, and twenty seasons have been
spent at the Vermont House" Mr.,
Herrick is a retired merchant, and,
with his estimable wife, is spending
the season here. His great regret is
that when he was here on his memoir
able bridal trip he did not become a
citizen of Saratoga Daily Sara
tOgian.

A number of our exchanges have
put in a protest against the furnish
ing of newspapers to the members Of
the Legislature during the session at
the expense of the State. This lux
ury which the taxpayers are called
upon to bear costs about $1,000 and
is one of the first expenses that should
be cut off. There is no more sense in
the States furnishing free reading
matter to legislators than there
would be in giving the members
tonsorial manipulation once or twice
n week at the expense of the State
treasury. A man who is too penu-
rious to pay for his newsPapersis not
a suitable person to make laws for
our State.

Col. Henry C. Fletcher of Caven-
dish, is every inch a farmer We saw
him the other day, with his pants
tucked into his boots, a bingham
shirt without a collar, and soft
faded hat on his head. He was in the
village attending to business relating
to his farm produce, mingling with
his agricultural neighbors and talk
ing of the weather and crops. A
stranger would hardly have guessed it
from his appearance, yet this man is
lieutenant-governor-electo of Vermont

did editorial on the outlook of the
coming Legislature. After reviewing
the political makeup of that body
and giving the Governor-elect very
Complementary notice. he advocates
few measures which he thinks will
be beneficial to the State, prominent
among which are ballot reform and
the temperance question. Now, not
withstanding our fellow-knight of the

cense man, we believe that no MEM
Der of the Legislature will labor more
earnestly and faithfully for the best
interests of our State than he. He

Business will be business with him all

1.-The Path of the Just"

1.-THE following original poem was read by
the pastor of the NJ E. church at Stowe, at
the close of the sermon Sept. z.
Path of the just " the golden way,
That shineth more and more;
Shineth until the perfect day,
When life on earth is DER.
Though storms may come, and winds may
beat
And TRADE assail us sore;
We have this still, safe retreat,
1t shineth more and more.
Our friends may fail or leave, or die,
Gloom east our spirits DER;
This path is still a shining light,
That shineth more and more.
This life may be a rugged steep.
With rocks and briars strewn Ger;
We have the word our hearts to keep,
This path shines more and more.
When sick of earth and earthly joys,
We long for brighter days;
How sweet the soul-inspiring words,
This path shines all the way.
Path of the Just" what shining rays,
TO Ms in thee are given;
A light through all onr-eaTthiy days,
And endless life in heaven.
What joy to hear the Saviour speak,
And say to you ''Well done"
Hear God and Father also say,
My daughter and my son.
How sweet the blssful perfect day,
When Jesus glores shine
In all their bright eternal rays,
Within this soul of mine.
There ON heavens eternal throne,
Sits him who reigns supreme;
Before him all the ransomed host.
With naught to come between.
The path of light is free for all,
It's open now to view;
o soul bewildered, hear him call,
And know he calls to you.
This path we enter now by faith,
And see the blissful shore;
The path that shineth as light,
And shineth more and more.

a bunch of hair of a light color and as

Germany is having a succession OF
patriotic celebrations just now. The
anniversary of the battle of Sedan
September A.. which decided the
Franco Prussian war of 1870, and
established the German Empire, was
marked by special observances
throughout Germany, and bids fair
to become what our Independence
Day is. A notable feature of this eel
ebration was the chorus of praise of
Prince Bismarck, from the German
press, in which those newspapers that
have been his bitterest opponents
heartily joined. Patriotic Germans
are now looking forward to celebrat-
ing Count Won Moltke's ninetieth
birthday October 26). 1t is pro-
posed to give a practical turn to this
affair, by purchasing the house in
which the General was born, at Par
chin, and presenting it to him. In
spite of the fact that Won Moltke OBJ
jects to this plan, a committee of
members of the Reichstag are endeav-
oring to carry it out. Another pro-
ject is the establishment of memo
rial fund, from which to bestow prizes
upon those who show eminent ability
in military science. Germans do well
to honor those to whom they chiefly
owe their present military and politi-
cal supremacy.
