The SAVINGS Bank Brunder.

We cannot help thinking the action
of the New York savings banks in M
forcing the sixty-day rule at this time
vas a most grievous biunder. 1t
seems to us to have been the very
way to invite the evil it was proposed
to prevent. The banks are all strong
and solvent. There were no runs or
symptoms of runs. They were all
able to stand heavy drafts, and in
deed were in many cases in a position
to make money by unloading deposits
during the next thirty or sixty days.
To the outsider, the chief duty would
have seemed to be to build up conf
dence among the depositors.
Of course, the sixty-day rule had
the direct opposite effect. 1t was in
evitable that it should create uneasi-
ness. Some Of the more thoughtful
classes Of depositors may see it in the
same light as the bank presidents and
directors; but the general run of ILL
informed and inconsiderate people,
who make up nine-tenths of the saw
ings bank patronage, are sure to be
alarmed by a move which must GER
tainly look to them like a sign of
weakness. IF the bank has our
money, all right" they argue, why
won't it pay us at once?" 1t is useless
to talk to them about the sacrifice OF
securities. They do not understand
what it means.
The partial development of runs
on some of the New York banks is
one logical and inevitable consequence
of the action taken by the institutions
themselves. The bear raids on Wall
street are anoth er direct result. 1t is
to be feared that the doubts and
fears stirred up may become more and
more turbulent and in the next week
or two may affect a wider circle than
ever. A little later ON the banks will
have to throw securities upon the
market to provide for the drafts of
which notice has been given, many of
which will doubtless be enforced. 1.-THE
general tone improves this may not
DO so much harm, but if some mil
lions of securities are thrown on the
market in any such period Of depres-
sion as the present they are bound to
do mischief. IL they be the most gilt
edged paper in the world.
In the midst of all the folly on both
sides, the indiscretion OF managers
and the insane fears Of depositors we
are glad to see our W people keep
their heads. Our local savings banks
are towers of strength, we believe.
Their management is most colsseya-
tive and honorable, and theY all hold
securities of the very best class. We
believe we are justified in advising.
the people to trust in them implicitly.
Their money can be in no better or
scfsr place.

Scientific Mind Reading.

It can be taken as fact, which the
theory of the action of the eye implies,
that for each external impression, that
is, for each image produced upon the
retina, the ends of the visual nerves,
concerned in the conveyance of the i'm
preston to the mind, must be under a
peculiar stress or in a vibratory state. 1t
now does not seem improbable that,
when by the power of thought an image
is evoked, a distinct reflex action, no
matter how weak, is exerted upon certain
ends of the visual nerves, and therefore
upon the retina. Will it ever be within
human power to analyze the condition of
the retina when disturbed by thought or
reflex action, by the help of some optical
or other means of such sensitiveness that
a clear idea of its state might be gained
at any time? Ii this were possible, then
the problem of reading ones thoughts
with precision, like the characters of an
open book, might be much easier to
solve than many problems belonging to
the domain of positive physical science,
in the solution of which many, if not
the majority of scientific men I'M
