A MlND.READlNC MACHINE.
Said to Automatically Record and Repro

The idea of automatically recording
and reproducing thought by means Of
a machine similar in principle to pho
nOgraph is now the claimed achieve
ment of Julius Emnner, of Washington,
D. c., scientist and inventor who is
one of the contestants against the Bell
telephone patent. The machine has
been tested by friends and a patent is
looked for. The machine is cylinder
about six inches long and about an inch
and a half in diameter. 1t is coated
with an exceedingly sensitive chemical

minum, whose point is covered with
another chemical. The needle rests on
the cylinder, while it's base is set in 4

The inventor claims that every thought
Of person seated three feet feet from
this machine can be recorded and then
retraced so as to be understood by any
other person. Mr.. Emnner says that
his invention grew out of the known
fact that sight and hearing is caused
by physical vibrations. He finds that
force of thought is also exercised by
brain vibration. He holds that the
brain is merely a form of electric bat
terry, IDEAS emanating from it just as do
the rays from Il lamp, and that they
penetrate the atmosphere. causings vi

When English and Beers Fought.

In the earlier encounters between
British and Dutch at the Cape, the
British invariably had the victory. In
1895 and 1906 at the battles of Muiz-
enberg and Blaauwberg, on each of
the occasions when the British forces
took possession of the Cape, our troops
had easily the best of it. 1t can hardly
be said, however, that the back coun-
try farmers had much to do with these
affairs. The battle of Blaauwberg,
thanks to which the English became
finally masters of the Cape, was very
hot affair. The Dutch fought bravely
and lost 700 men dead and wounded.
The British. under General Sir David
Baird, suffered to the extent of 212
dead, wounded, and missing. Between
1906 and 1S4S there were various
small risings and instructions in the
eastern part of Cape Colony, in which,
however, the Dutch we're invariably
worsted When we remember Presi-
dent Kruger's clemency to DR.. Jane
son and his followers after the recent
raid, We can scarcely plume ourselves
on our own deeds in similar emergen-
cies.
In 1915 small rising among the
Beers OF the Eastern Province was
punished with extreme severity. Hen
dirk Prinsloo, Stephanus Botman,
Cornelis Faber, Theunis de Klerk,
Abraham Botman, and j. Kruger, were
all sentenced to death as ringleaders.
Of these, Kruger, no doubt a distant
connection of the present Transvaal
President, escaped with transporter
ton for life. The remaining five were
ANONYMOUSLY hanged in the presence
of great concourse of friends and re-
latives. The gallows broke down I'M
der the weight of these unfortunates-
they were all turned off together-and
long delay occurred. There was
terrible scene. which one shudders to
think of even now. The poor half
hanged men as they slowly recovered,
crawled to the feet of the command
ing officer, and begged for mercy.
Their prayers were aided by the bit
ter cries and tears Of the multitude
standing around. But there was no
mercy for them. Just before sunset
these unhappy Beers were hanged
again, this time effectually enough.
The neck between the hills, where this
scene took place, is still we'll known
in Cape Colony as "Slaghters Neck"
slaughter neck;) and one Of the big
gest grudges that the Beers still cherish
against the British is due to the indy
ing memory OF that dreadful day

La Nature contains short note in
which the horse power of q cannon is
calculated. An italian cannon of one
hundred tons, with a charge OF $50
pounds of powder and shot weighing
about two thousand pounds, will give
an initial velocity of 253 meters per
second; the length of time during
which the powder acts 10 less than one
hundredth of a second, from which it
follows that the horse power developed
is about seventeen million. The writer
adds that after about one hundred
shots the cannon is put out of service,
and its total active life is therefore
only one second! In large modern
cannon the horse power runs as high
as twenty-four million. If the writer
had carried out these calculations still
farther. he would have found that.
after all, this $4,000, OO0-horse power
does not represent o large amount of
energy, as it would be just sufficient
to run thirty-one incandescent lamps
for only one day.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Truth loves to be looked in the face.
A sunbeam in the heart is bound to
light the face.
One who boasts of his honesty will
bear watching.
Fine sense is not half so useful as
common sense.
A covetous rich man may be said to
freeze before the fire.
He that wants the earth will be sure
to get it when he dies.
A boy all his life is the object Of
some ones suspicious.
There is nothing in mourning a loss
that cannot be restored.
Many a supposed giant has turned
out to be only shadow.
Love never has to be watched to see
that it does honest work.
Arguments are like bones with dogs,
They set men together by the ears.
One pound of learning requires ten
pounds of common sense to apply 1t.
Somehow people always applaud
singing, whether it is deserved or not.
An ass covered with gold is more re-
pected than horse with pack-sad-
die.
Better than he who wipes away q
tear is he who prevents it from start
ing.
He that speaks me fair and loves me
not, I'll speak him fair and trust him
not.
A sincere confession of ignorance is
one of the surest testimonies of iudg-
ment.
Families with babies and families
without babies are SO sorry for each
other.
There is only one sure cure for
sleeplessness, and that is going to
sleep.
The brightest intellects explain
their thoughts in the simplest Ian
guage.
We admire mean man who gets
out of town and does not try "to live
it down"
Many people have so much business
on hand that they never accomplish
anything.
Sentiment costs more in dollars and
cents than any other foolish feeling in
the world.

answer, but you will find some who
will only spare growl. The South.

look out. If she starts out in vigorous,

say she will be a healthy, attractive,
