TRICKS or MEMORY.
The Curious Franks Played by Keen
Minded Mans Brain.

Minued MANS Brain.
IL would afford material for an entire
paper to study defects of memory and To
describe some of the curiosities OF think.
Ing which result from such defects. A
writer In The Popular Science Monthly
says that he saw lately business man OF
keen mind and good general memory, who
was not paralyzed In any way and was
perfectly able To understand and To talk,
but who had suddenly lost a part OF his
power OF reading and OF mathematical cal.
culation.
The letters d, 4, q, and y, though seen
perfectly, We're no longer recognized and
conveyed no more idea to him than Chi
nese characters would to us. He had great
difficulty in reading-had to spell out all
words and could not read words contain.
ing three letters
He could write the letters which he
could read, but could not write the five
letters mentioned He could read and
write some numbers but 6, and had
been lost TO him, and when asked TO write
them his only result, after many attempts,
was TO begin TO write the words six seven
or eight, not being able to finish these, as
the first and last contained letters-x and
(Which he did not know
He could not add and together or
any two numbers of which 8, or 8
formed part. for he could not call them
TO his mind Other numbers he knew
well. He could no longer tell time by the
watch
For week after the onset of the disease
he did not recognize his surroundings. On
going ont for the first time the streets of
the city no longer seemed familiar; on
coming back he did not know his own
house After a few weeks, however all |
his memories had returned excepting those |
OF the letters and figures named But as |
the loss of these put a stop TO his reading
and to all his business life the small defect |
OF memory was 10 him IA serious thing
Experience has shown that such de-
feet Is due TO small area of disease in one
part OF the brain. Such cases are not I'M.

Mechanical Accuracy.

IL Is well known, of course that great
accuracy has become an important factor
in certain kinds of workmanship. an illus
tratton of this fact being thus given by a
mechanical journal Not long ago, in a
Philadelphia machine shop. the head man
remarked concerning device consisting
OF short steel rod fitting into hollow
cylinder, the rod being three quarters of
an inch in diameter. Now, the fit was so
perfect that it would slide freely in and
out, but IL was found that, if the rod were
taken out and held in the hand but a few
seconds, the slight expansion caused by
the warmth of the hand was enough to
render 1t impossible to insert the rod until
1t had been allowed by gradual cooling to
regain its normal size
