There will be cross-country run of forty-eight kilo- metres for the cup offered by M.

 MENT.
 J. J. Hogan, special student in the mechanical department of the Psycho- logical laboratory, has perfected an in- strument called the Pendulum Chrono- scope" by which it may be determined how fast one thinks. The scientific world has acknowledged the value of the instrument and is giving it thorough trial. It is constructed with simple electrical attachments and easily computes the time between the firing of a revolver and the starting of rum ner. and will measure down to the one-thousandth part of a second. It consists of pendulum and pointer swinging independently on the same axis. The tip of the pointer swings along the face of curved scale or indicator, which is so graduated that it shows the most minute division of a second. To measure the time re- quired for the transmission of any given impression button is pressed, and this sets the pendulum in motion
