How College Mems Heads Swell

With regard to head product" Mr..
Francis Cation draws the following con-
illusions:
"Q.) Although it is pretty we'll ascer-
tanned that in the masses of the popu-
latlon the brain ceases to grow after the
age of 10, or even earlier, it is by no
means so with university students.
"2) That men who have obtained
nigh honors have had, ON the average.
considerably larger brains than others at
the age of 10.
"(3.) That they have, on the average
larger brains than others, but not to the
same extent at the age of %; in fact
Their predominancei is at that time dimin
lshed to about one-half of what il was.
"4) Consequently, high honor men
are presumably, as class. both more
precocious and more gifted throughout
than others. We must therefore look
upon eminent university success as
largely due to "A fortunate combination
OF these two helpful conditions. The

Typewriter at a HOTEL have read a
number of paragraphs in the newspa-

them como in and try to dictate letter
for the typewriter. 1t may DO that
when the business was new there were
more instances and some that were more
funny. Bur : have had no such expert
ences as are attributed to my profession
by the press. The only funny one | ever
had was that presented by an honest old
man who, after watching me for some
time, came up and in good sort of way
asked mo to explain the machine, which
did.
You mean to say" no asked, that
you can write letter on that thing for
any body?'
said yes.
"Then you may write one to Saman-
thy. l want TO let her know that am
well, and that am coming home next
week, and that have got along fust-
rave in what came for"
l put all this together in readable
shape and then read it to him. lie said
it was all right and signed his name to
it and l dropped it in letter-box for
him. The next morning he came to me
somewhat excited and said:
Say, miss, you remember that letter
you writ Tor me yesterday to Samanthy?"
l said yes.
We'll" he continued, 81 want you to
write another one to her telling her how
you done it and how l signed it. You
see, whom she gifts that letter that is
printed jest like the newspaper and then
sees my scrawl at the bottom of it she'll
know there's somethin' wrong. She's
mighty suspicious emmy way, and If you
can fix it up so as to let me out of it I'll
be ever so much obleeged to you"
To satisfy him l did as he asked He
took the letter and 1 have never seen
him since. But have found all nv
other customers to be plain, matter-of-
fact men. The novelty and romance of
the typewriter are wearing away.-Chi-

VELOCITY OF ELECTRICITY.
A Wonderful Invention Made by Wheat.
stone, the Electrician.


Wheatstone, the electrician, is the
inventor of the mode whereby the We
locity of electricity is ascertained. In
perfecting this wonderful invent n he
took Leyden jar and connected it with
wires by means of two rods, one with
the outer and the other with the inner
coating of the jar. Insulated conductors
were next pr, vided, in shape of two
long bent wires. The opposite ends of
the rods from that in connection with
the inner and outer coating of the jar,
were placed near the ends of the bent
wires which were to answer in place of
insulated conductors. He gave to each
of these conductors a length of four
hundred and two meters. This finished
it was plain that the current must pass
through these conductors from positive
to negative poles of the circuit, or vice
versa. A rotating mirror was next
brought on the scene by this ligh thing
tanner and placed behind the apparatus
as above outlined.
When the current was turned on and
passing through the apparatus, sparks
were visible from three different points,
viz, between the ends of the conduct
ors, between the rods running from the
jar, and also between the ends of the
conductors themselves, where a separate
and distinct shower of sparks were to
be seen. When the rotating mirror
turned on its axis, the sparks appeared
as three separate circular lines, parallel
to each other; when it was left sta
tionary the reflections showed only as
points of light. Speaking of this, MIR.
Wheatstone says: IF electricity re-
quired no time to pass from one point
to another, the lines in the moving
mirror would appear and disappear sim
ultaneously; but being continuous, an
appreciable space of time must elapse
for their movement. This time is
plainly calculable, when the rate of ro-
tation of the mirror and duration of the
sparks is known. | have found that
electricity travels through 402 meters
of copper wire in 900, 900. sos part of a
second, and would, therefore, travel
through 455, 1873 kilometers of copper
wire in one second. st. Louis Re.

A POETS MISTAKES.
Anomalies In the Text of Several OF Camp
beIl's Best Works.


1t Is extraordinary that so fastidious
and careful a writer as Campbell, whose
painful slowness of composition gave
Theodore Hook his joke that the poet
had been safely delivered OF couplet
this morning" should have been be
trayed by his ignorance OF natural his
tory into certain not very important
yet none the less egregious, blunders
concerning the fauna and flora intro
duced into his tales. In THE Pleasures
OF Hope" and Gertrude of Wyoming"
we find tho tiger standing along the
banks of Lake Erie and the panther
domiciled in the woods OF Ohio, while
the flamingo disports itself on Pennsyl-
vania waters and the tropical aloe and
palm flourish in some northern latitude.
These errors were pointed out to Camp
bell by his friends, in order that he
might rectify them in later editions; but
to revise his work when once printed
was always an uncongenial task to him,
and, in defiance of the botanist and
zoologist, the anomalies were therefore
allowed to remain in the text An
other and more pardonable error
into which Campbell was led in his
chief narrative poem by trusting to
work entitled the History Of the De-
struction of Wyoming in 1778," was
brought home to him in a very strange
and unexpected manner Following the
authority just mentioned, he had de-
nounced as the treacherous destroyer of
Wyoming Mohawk chief named Brandt
1.-THE monster Brandt" he called him
in the poem-and it might well have
been supposed that, right or wrong, this
poetical account of so distant an event
would have passed unchallenged. But
it was not so, for fifteen years after the
publica ton of Gertrude of Wyoming"
Campbell was surprised by visit from
Brandts son. no Mohawk in appearance,
but "a fine young man of gentlemanly
manners" and a Lieutenant in the En-
glish service, who had come to adduce
proof of his fathers innocence. 1t APP
peared that Brandt, SO far from being
the monster" he was represented, had
been civilized and philanthropic In
dian, who had accustomed his tribesmen
to peaceful habits, had built church,
and translated one of the Gospels into
the Mohawk language! Campbell, be-
ing placed in the awkward predicament
of libeling red Indian, was compelled
to do penance in the notes of subsequent
editions; but even here he could not be
induced to introduce alterations into
the text.-American Notes and Queries
