A Thought Measuring Machine.

DR.. J. X. McKatterell has constructed
an ingenious apparatus by which he can
determine, with considerable degree
of accuracy, the time 1t takes to think,
and has experimental with many inter
esting results. He has shown that to
see piece Of white paper and be con-
scious of the fact takes one-twentieth OF
u second; to see Il picture takes one-tenth
of a second; to see letter of common
print, one-eighth of a second; to see a
full word, one-seventh of second; to be
able to judge between red and blue, one
thi.teenth of second
He has also proved that to see some
words and letters requires more time
than others. By this same machine,
with some added pieces of mechanism,
the time of remembering can also be ac-
curately measured. According to the
learned NJ. ID. and his curious little ma
chine, it takes much less time to remen-
Der the name of familiar word than 1t
does the name of letter, and we are
all supposed to be very well acquainted
with the names of the letters of the al
phabet This seems strange, especially
when we take into consideration the
fact that we can see the letter in less
time than we can the word.
The name OF the next month to come
can be thought of in less time than that
of the last. This machine also shows
that sensations travel by the nerves to
the brain at the rate OF one mile per
minute, much slower than has been sup
posed. st. Louis Republic

The Terrible Aboma.

In ''Stedman's Expedition to Surinam"
the following wonderful account of the
aboma or dragon is given: "This re-
markable creature is called aboma in
the colony of Surinam. Its length,
when full grown, is often more than
forty feet, its body being four feet and
over in circumference Its color is a
greenish black on the back, a fine yellow
on the sides and q dirty white on the
belly, the back and sides being spotted
with irregular black rings, with pure
white spot in the center of each. Its
head is broad and fat, small in proper
ton to its body, with large mouth and
teeth set in double rows. 1t has two
bright, prominent eyes, is covered all
over with scales about the size of shill-
ing, and has two sharp claws under the
belly near the tail which 1t uses in seiz
ing its prey.
"It is an amphibious animal, that is, it
delights in low, marshy places, where it
lies concealed under fallen timber, ready
to seize its prey, which. from its i'm
mense bulk, it is not active enough to
pursue. When hungry it will dcvour
any animal that comes within its reach,
and is indifferent il it be sloth, wild
boar, a stag or tiger. After twisting
itself about the body Of buffalo, stag
or tiger, by help of its claws, it breaks
every bone in the poor victims body. l
have been told of negroes being devoured
by this snake and am not disposed to
discredit the story. He bites from no
other impulse but that of hunger and is
not venomous."

Oriental studsnts In London,

The superior orientals in London are
almost exclusively from India, except
such as represent diplomacy; and they
include two classes-men of business and
students. The former are few, but rep
resent very large commercial interests.
The latter number about 200. They
have their headquarters at the North,
brook club in Whitehall Gardens, OF
which the majority are members. The
practice of sending young Indians &c
study in England is increasing They
come from all parts of India and include
Mahommedans, Hindoos and Parsees
The luxury of a European education is
not TO be had for nothing, and as mat
ter Of course only men of means can in
dulge in it.
These young fellows are, as a rule, ex'
tremely intelligent, with charming man
ners, and they speak English admirably
far better than most European for
eigners who have lived for many years in
England. They study law and medicine
in London; but some go to Cooper's Hill
for the engineering service and others tc
Cirencester for agriculture. The English
universities, and Edinburgh also, have
their contingent. In nearly all cases
they go back to practice in India, but OF
late tendency to settle here has been
visible. The only other eastern country
which occasionally sends us a similar
class is Japan. --St. James Budget.

Lineoln,s Face and the Artists.

Lincoln's features were the despair of
every artist who undertook his portrait
The writer saw nearly dozen, one after
another, soon after the first nomination
to the presidency, attempt the task.
They put into their pictures the large,
rugged features, and strong, prominent
lines; they made measurements to OBJ
lain exact proportions; they ''petrified'
some single look, but the picture re-
manned hard and cold. Even before
these paintings were finished it was
plain to see that they were unsatisfac-
tory to the artists themselves, and much
more so TO the intimate friends of the
man--this was not he who smiled, spoke,
laughed, charmed. The picture was to
the man as the grain OF sand to the
mountain, as the dead to the living.
Graphic art was powerless before a
face that moved through thousand
delicate gradations of line and contour,
light and shade, sparkle of the eye and
curve of the lip, in the long gamut Of
expression from grave to gay, and back
again from the rollicking jollity Of
laughter to that serious, far away look
that with prophetic munitions beheld
the awful panorama Of war;. G. MIC

Crime in the Air.

1t has been frequently noticed that
there are epidemics of robberies as well
as Of suicides and other crimes. A Grim
inal epidemic. peculiar to o half dozen
large cities of the United States that
have a large and vicious population, is
that of Sunday murders, which are the
results Of day of idleness. Then,
again, murders with peculiar features
often occur in groups in all parts Of the
country. In France there is tradition,
centuries old, that epidemics Of suicide
return in regular cycles, at each recur-
renee of the suicidal Juror the success
sive victims of their own murderous
hands vieing with one another in the
greater ghastliness OF the tragedy that
they enact.
Stories of wife murders in various
parts of the country, relieved by few
exceptional murders Of husbands by
by their wives, reach the press stimuli
taneously from many different sources.
Murder is in the air" has become a
stereotyped expression among newspaper
men and detectives, who know from ex-
perience that such epidemics will run
their cycles and cause many bloody
records to be made before they have
spent their fury.
With bank robberies 1t is the same.
1t is not often that single robbery Is
made--one is sure to breed others; ''they
come not singly, but In whole battal-

There Are Two Kind. Of mustard.

There are two varieties OF mustard
black and white. Black mustard is the
most valuable for commercial purposes.
Its seeds are very minute, weighing not
more than one fiftieth of grain each.
Its peculiar pungent taste Is caused by
an essential oil. This oil can, like fruit
favors, be exactly initiated by the chem
lists. Both as table condiment and al
a medicine, mustard has been known
from very remote period.
As now found in our grocery stores
this spice consists Of white and black
mustard seeds, mixed and ground fine.
The white mustard keeps better thar
the black variety and is not SO bitter
A good deal Of the mustard sold is adul
terated. sometimes with wheat -four, but
more often with tumeric, the pulverized
root of a common East Indian plant

In beginning this series of papers,
my intention was to give "reminiscences
of the advance of the county, cover
ing period of about three decades.
After glancing over the manuscript, /
conclude that the papers have been a
matter of opinion instead of history.
In the near future I may be able to
perpetrate more opinion on suffering
public, but for the present will try to
observe what effect these papers have
had. The one thing in particular
which has impressed the writer, in re-
lation to the welfare of our county is
the necessity Of careful and close ap-
plication to the handling of land, from
the true farmers standpoint If you
can't raise wheat at profit do the
next best thing, and handle sheep,
hogs, sheep, chickens, fruit or any
other commodity for which there is a
market, looking ahead to see that
there is no lost motion.
THE End
