How Fast Docs Thought rravelY

Professor Donders of Utrecht has made
some interesting experiments in regard
to the rapidity Of thought BY means
of two instruments, which he calls the
acknowledgement" and the ''noerna-
tachometer," he obtained some ilnpor-
tant results. His experiments show that
it takes the brain .067 of second to
elaborate a single idea, Writing in re-
gard to this Professor Donders says:
DOUBTLESS the time required for the
brain to act is not the same in all indi-
viduals. l believe, however, that my
instruments may be perfected until we
will be able to determine the mental
caliber of our friends without our friends
1-..e- e---i-aes tla4.+ +en+i-se, *le;- >r+
ness" The professor further says: 'For
the eye to receive an impression requires
OFT of a asecond, and for the ear to appre-
ciate a sound .049 Of second is neces-
sary. These curious experiments have
established one fact at least-viz, that
the eye acts with nearly double the
rapidity of the ear.n-Philadelphia Press.

Bride hunting For bridegroom.

A policeman at Portobello on going
his rounds very early one morning dis
covered young man on the roof OF
low building, and naturally believing
him to be burglar seized him. He was
surprised on seeing that he was evident
ly in his best clothes, and still more SO
when on searching for burglars tools he
found only piece Of bride cake. The
captive offering no explanation the Off
Ger was puzzled. Suddenly party Of
young women-a bride and bridesmaid
approached in an excited state They
were evidently searching for some valu-
able which had been lost. On catching
sight of tho culprit there was shout of
"Why, here he is!' The poor bride
seemed greatly moved.
During the marriage festivities he had
for some unexplained reason slipped
away from the scene, and his friends
had divided into parties, searching high
and low for the runaway. They were
naturally greatly astonished that he had
preferred cold roof in winter time to
the society of his charming bride. With
out any more fuss they took possession
of the fugitive from matrimony, VIII
looked somewhat depressed, and bore
him away in triumph. Scotsman

Perpetuation of Physical Defects.

Diseases of malnutrition, such as gout,
scrofula, cancer and tuberculosis, re-
quire several generations for their full
evolution, and this evolution may be re-
tarded or even wholly arrested by inter
marriage with healthy persons of an
other nonrelated family. Acquired con-
stitutional taints and abnormal habits,
as alcoholism, kleptomania, when once
firmly rooted in an individual organism
tend to propagate themselves like fam
lily features and become hereditary for
several generations, even when the origi-
nal factors have ceased to act. Thus
the acquired habit Of the father may be-
come a natural feature in his son or
daughter, just as the puppies of q well
trained pointer or setter require but very
little training to point" or 'set."
Defornities, superfuous digits or toes
and malformations in general may be
caused by accident to the mother, by
powerful mental impressions arresting
or altering the development of the un-
born child, and the child born with any
of these defects may become the parent
or grandparent of an infant having an
exactly similar abnormality. y.-Homeo-
pathic Review.

A True Goldfish story.

At the New York hospital they relate
a curious occurrence bearing on the hi
bernation of fishes. In the conservatory
in the upper part of the building they
had several glass jars in which were
goldfish, which is a species Of carp. One
morning the caretaker found a jar broken
and the water frozen through and
through, the fish of course being as rigid
as ice. The lump was taken away and
thrown into an old rubbish barrel, where
it remained several weeks.
Orc March day the sun was unusually
strong, and it split the cylinder of ice,
but what was the astonishment of the
caretaker to see the tail of a fish wrig-
Cling out of a part of the broken block.
The actual freezing had not killed the
fish, which was removed to another tank,
where it swiIns about as if nothing had
befailen it.-Our Animal Friends.
