A remarkable little instrument has

A remarkable little instrument has
been invented by Mr.. J. ]. Hogan Of
the psychological department of Yale
college. The idea of the invention is
credited 60 Professor Charles B. Bliss OF
che University Of the City of New
York. The main features of the little
machine are pointer and pendulum.
IL measures the time between the incep-
tiea of an intention and its execution in
muscular movement For instance. it
will tell how long time after a sound
has reached your brain will be required
to act in accordance with the sound.
One of the experiments is this: A white
disk Is suddenly uncovered before a
mans face The instance he sees the
disk he touches a button on the ma
chine The little instrument measures
exactly she length Of time between the
flashing Of the white disk en- his sight
and the touching Of the button. Thus it
registers the swiftness with which the
muscles obey the will and the swiftness
with which one thinks There is great
difference between the slow thinkers
and the quick thinkers. and Mr. Ho-
gan's machine measures this difference.
Il will take note Of time down to
al. 900 Of = second.

DIR b. w. Richardson of London
gave. not long since, lecture which he
called '.How 20 Make the Most of Life. +"
He thought we could make the most Of
life by in the FIRST place getting good
honlth. in which ho was quite right He
believed. too. that everybody could have
good health who lived right Undoubt-
edly he was right there too.
Living right. however, does not con-
nist IN merely taking care OF the body.
The best physicians understand the
great influence OF the mind and emo
tions on the physical health. Furious
RACES, malignant hatredrevil passions
Of any kind. as also persistent worry and
fretting. will destroy the most perfect
physical body that ever was bestowed
ON mortal. The mind should control
the body. Unless the mind can control
itself and it's own emotions. then the
body runs away with il and falls into
disorder.
The system man should pursue to live
out his natural term of 105 years of
life DIR. Richardson suggests in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
man or woman who lives frugally, who
takes sufficient OF the simple food they are
made 20 eubsist on and no more, who drinks
the one natural fluid, water, is fitted primarily
to make che best of life. the strongest, the
most active, the most enduring life. Presum-
ing human beings are born OF good and whole
some constitutions, they arc, except for acct
dental destructive agencies, in q fair way TO
live FIVE times their maturity-that is. five
times q years, the natural term Of the anat-
cynical ife--namely, lO5 years, term few
reach. but which is attainable rs matter OF
experience, and so attainable, matter Of
natural law. that the majority OF men and
women would attain It if they lived properly.

IN DURRANTS BEHALF.
General Dickinson Begins His Argu-
ment and Reviews the Testimony.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25-General Dick
inson made the opening argument for the
defense in the trial of Theodore Durrant
to-day. Although the air i'm the crowded
court room was sitting, he spoke from
morning until night and then announced
that he would not conclude his argument
until the court should meet next Tuesday.
Dtckinsen's speech was in the nature of a
surprise from the fact that he did not at
tack the integrity of the prosecutions
witnesses or denounce the methods of the
police, as attorney Duprey intimated would
be done in his opening address to the jury.
Nevertheless. 1t is generally conceded that
he made the most Of what Is considered
a weak case He based his whole defense
on the reliability of the roll call which
shows that Durrant attended DIR. Cheney's
lecture on the afternoon OF April and
challenged the prosecution to prove that
the call was incorrect. Mrs. Leak and Mrs.
Crossett, the two elderly witnesses who
testified that they saw Durrant and Miss
Lamont near the church were treated gent
ly- Dickinson said that while he believed
the witnesses told what they thought to be
the truth, he was convinced that their
minds had been worked on by reading so
much about the case. In support of this
he cited the fact that neither witness told
What she said she knew about the
until thee or four months after the crime
took place. The testimony of Mrs. VogeI
and the school girls who swore they saw
Durrant and Miss Lamont board Powell
street car I'm front of the Normal school
was disposed of in the same manner. Youth
and old age, he said. were the two periods
I'm life when people were the most positive
In their statements and the most likely to
De mistaken. Touching on the contention of
the prosecution that Durrants motive for
the crime was the same unbridled passion
that compelled Jack-the-RIpper to commit
the Whitechapel murders I'm London. Mr..
Dickinson challenged the prosecution TO
show anything in the testimony submitted
which tended to show that Durrant was
not moral man. With regard TO the
story told by Durrant on the stand to the
effect that stranger tapped him on the
shoulder and gave him clew to the
whereabouts of Miss Lamont, Mr.. Dickin-
son said the great number of anonymous
letters received from cranks by the at
torneys OF the defense made IL probable
that some one might have given Durrant
such a clew.

L0NGSTREET SET RIGHT.
Denial that He Recently Spoke Dis
paraHingly of General Lee.

RICHMOND. Va. Oct 25.-The interview
in a New York paper Il which Gen. James
Longstreet is represented as saying dispar-
aging things about General Lee has occa-
stoned widespread Indignation among Con-
federate veterans and the Georgian Is being
rcundly denounced.
The veterans expect, as a matter OF
course, that Longstreet's book. soon to be
offered for sale, will speak lightly Of Lee
as military commander.
The j. B. Lippincott Company, in letter
to Richmond man. settles that question.
The publishers say:
In regard TO the article in q New York
newspaper desire TO say that Ii must
certainly DE an error of the reporter TO have
represented General Longstreet as making
any such remark as the one attributed TO
him. General Lee had no more loyal SIP
porter than Longstreet, and his book v i'll
give his commander all due credit. We can
positively assure you that no such language
or insinuation that Lee was poor COM
mander' appears in any way"

ALASKA'S BOUNDARY.
Canadians Want to Move the Line as
Far West AS Possible.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.-Captain f. F.
Dickins, the chief officer in charge of the
American survey in Alaska, to determine
the boundary between the territory of the
United States and Canada, has arrived in
this city. Captain Dickins talked about the
work of the season and also concerning a
general summary of the work accomplished
up to date. THE first year of the survey
the Canadian parties worked with us 10
some extent" said Captain Dickins. I'VE
had one of our members with the Canadi-
ans and they had one Of their surveyors
with US. Since then they have gone by
themselves, and this year We have not
met them. The Canadians never discovered
until one year age that they had any
claim. Then they suddenly changed their
maps and boundary. We have proceeded
according to our understanding OF the
terms Of the treaty under which Alaska
was acquired by the United States. which
rests on the agreement reached some years
ago between Russia and Great Britain con-
cerning the boundary. The Canadians want
to get port of entrs for the Yukon coun-
try. and also to get everything east of
Clarence strait They are ignoring the
Portland canal. Last year We saw the
Canadians on Chilcat and Chilcoal inlet but
this year We have not seen them" Captain
Dickins spoke very cautiously about the
Canadians. In general way he said they
aimed to establish the boundary line as far
west as possible

after the church service, some fifty young
men of from fourteen to twenty years of
age proceeded to the Babie-Aii tSublim-

vizier. They had no evil intentions what

revolvers and the other half had no weap-
ons at all. But they were ill-treated by
the police. who beat and slapped the petit

the wound he received in his breast. Some
of the majors men fell dead. too. At this
point the cavalry were summoned to the
scene of conflict. They patroled the streets

many under the feet of their horses. Those
who escaped death this way were beaten to

A GARDENERS TRICK.
Two Species of Cactus Combined and
Made to Look Like a Man.

PITTSBURG. Oct. 25.-Gardener Howells,
of the Phipps Conservatory in Schenley
Park, has inadvertently given away one of
the tricks of his trade. Visitors to the con-
servatory last summer admired a singular
cactus growth in a conspicuous place in
one OF the flower beds. 1t was known as
the "Old Man Cactus" being shaped i'm the
human form and covered with a dense
woolly covering. 1t turns out that this was
no natural product. The wild man was first
cut from a leaf of the Ficus Indicus, a
cactus known as the Indian fig. The woolIy
covering was then transplanted, bit by bit.
from another species of cactus. This has
now been removed and the denuded figure
put into winter quarters. Howelis is now
working on a series Of heads, profiles.
caricaturing such well-defined types as the
Irish, Yankee and negro.

Text of Baron BOdman's Note to the
Venezuelan Governments.
WASHINGTON, Oct. $50 far as can
be learned here there are no fresh de-
velopments In the Venezuelan affair, aside
from the a>sion OF Guiana's Council. and
apparently none * expected for some days.
1t is said that the present unpublished
British demands on Venezuela is a rel
teration Of former demand, but couched
in considerably stronger language. In view
of the assertion tnat the question involved
is one of reparation for wrongs done a
British official and does not involve the
territorial question, publication is author
lied of the first demand made by Great
Britain. 1t is dated Imperial German Le-
alton, Caracas, Nov. u. 1884," and is ad-
dressed to "Senor p. Ezequiel Rojas, Min

to ask that an order of prohibition be is

The protest was sent through the Ger
man minister Baron Bodman, as the Brit
ish have discontinued diplomatic relations
with Venezuela. The text of the Venez-

that the demand was rejected on the
express ground that instructions to Ven-

The New York Herald's correspondent
here says: additional particulars have
just been ascertained concerning the con-
tents of Secretary Olney's note to Great
communication of about eight thousand
words, pointing out the applicability of
the Monroe doctrine to the boundary dis
pute in Guiana and then declaring the
principle which is the vital part OF the
note and the great principle for which
the United States is now contending. name

large it's territorial dominion on the Amer
lean continent by means of force. Ten
or eleven weeks have now elapsed since
in the hands of the British government
and other response has been received

The officials would very much like to have
reply before Congress convenes, but
they are by no means sanguine that their
the probabilities are that the President
will officially make known the contents
of Secretary Olney's note in his annual
message"
