A Wonderful Memory.

In speaking of wonderful cases Of
memory the writer in a recent maya
zine article says: The wonderful per-
formances of Paul Morphy, tn genius
of the chessbOard, have bee.5 cited as
feats of memory. He would play eight
games simultaneously, blfnd-folded,
remembering his own moves and those
of his opponents, and the positions of
the pieces on each of the boards. Not
only this, but if all or part of the games
dragged out to a great length and were
adjourned from one day to the next,
he resumed them with unfailng MEM
DRY of the situation on each board.
This, however, was not an exercise of
memory pure and simple, but rather an
association of ideas or "a concentration
of thought on certain plans of cam
paign' on the factors entering therein,
and on details of action which had log
ical relation and sequence. Neverthe-
loss, it was a phenomenal intellectual
effort. Louis Republic.

Won a Kings Bride.

German papers tell, an interesting
story regarding the young king of Ser
via'srecent vain trip in Search of bride.
His majesty had taken, it into his head
that he would like to MARRY Princess
Maria, daughter of the king of Greece.
The Servian minister in Athens pro-
posed the marriage 10 the Greek rulers,
and received an evasive answer. The
minister was encouraged, however, and
telegraphed the king to proceed to
Athens. The young Grand Duke Alex
ander Michaelovitch, however had long
been in love with Princess Maria. and
when he learned of the projects of the
Servian monarch he pressed his suit so
hard that when the Young king arrived
in Athens the engagement with the
Russian had already been announced.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The greatest depth, writes Prof
Seeley in his STORY of the Earth" at
which earthquakes are known to origi e,
nate is about 80 miles. Il has also been
calculated that heat sufficient to melt
granite might occur at about the same
depth.
In the new Siberian railway, which
Russia is pushing with the utmost
vigor through that part of her domain,
there will be about 200 railway stations.
The rolling stock will comprise 1000
locomotives, 5000 passenger traffic cars
and $4,000 wagons.
1t is claimed that paper-pulp water
pipes have been tried in London with
success. Besides being durable and
inexpensive, they are free from the
usual corroding influences affecting
metal pipes, and, moreover. are free
from the clectrolytic effects of the
electric current employed in street rail
way systems.
An aluminium quadrant has been
devised to measure the actinic power of
the Roentgen rays. The aluminium is
arranged in concentric layers ranging
from one to ten millimetres in thick
ness. Measurements are taken by hold
ing the quadrant between an excited
CrooRes tube and a phosphorescent
screen, or a sensitized plate.
A large establishment in New Jer-
hey, employing 5000 hands, has started
a big restaurant near its mills, which
offers its operatives food at nearly cost
price, and of good quality. Heretofore
the help have been supplied with din
ner by private caterers, some of whom
are worn out operatives trying to
make living in declining years. The
corporation, selling at its prices, drives
them out of business.
Observers of tornadoes in this coun-

noticed in st. Louis in the north and

storm broke. One theory is that the

The agricultural returns for Great
Britain for the year 1895 were recently
issued from the board of agriculture.
The shrinkage of land under the pillow,
which has long been notable in Great
Britain, has not only continued, but has
been accentuated by the unpropitious
character of the autumn seed time Of
1894 and early spring of 1895. More
than $4,000 acres less wheat were
grown, and $1,000 acres less appear
under the minor grain crops, rye and
peas.

Joan of Arcs Height,

The exact height of Joan of Arc has
been learned in acurious way. Recent

TWO EXISTENCES.


After "A Case of Meningitis.
At a recent meeting of the Clinical So
ciety a distinguished suburban practi-
toner, whose name is withheld, showed
girl, - years of age, who exhibited
in the most complete and indubitable
form the condition known as dual eX-
istence," or double consciousness"
r Hast year, after severe Illness,
which was diagnosed to be meningitis,
she became subject to temporary at
tacks of Inconsistencies, on awaken
ing from which she appeared in an en-
tirely different character. In her nor
NAL condition she could read and write
and speak fiuently and with compare
tive correctness. In the altered mental
condition following the attack she loses
all memory of ordinary events, though
she can recall things that have taken
place during previous attacks. So com
plete is this alteration of memory that
at first she was unable to remember
even her own name. or to identify her
self or her parents. BY patient training
in the abnormal condition. she has been
enabled to give things their name,
though she still preserves baby fash
ion of pronouncing.
She sometimes remains in the abnor.
NAL condition for days together, and
the change to her real self takes place
suddenly, without exciting surprise or
dismay, and she forthwith resumes pos
session of her memory for events of her
ordinary life, to the exclusion of those
which have transpired during the abnor-
NAL state. During the last month or
so she appears to have entered on a new
phase, for, after mental blank of a
fortnight'S duration she awakened com
pletely oblivious of all that has hap
pened since June 1898. and she alludes
to events which took place just anterior
to that date as though they were of
quite recent occurrence: in fact, she is
living mentally in July, 1895.
These cases, though rare, are, of
course. not infrequently met with. and
they have been carefully studied. espe-
cially in France. The hypothesis that
finds most favor is that the two
halves of the brain do not work in uni
son; in other words. that there has
been some interference with the con-
nections which in the ordinary normal
being made of a wonderfully compos-
lite organ like the brain one organic
whole. Sometimes one part of the
brain and sometimes the other takes
possession Of the Geld Of physical ac-
tivity, and, as each part works to the
exclusion of the other. we get the DR..
Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde transformations.

PROPHECY.

Upon his wooden hobby horse
He galloped to the fray,
The sunlight in his ruffled curls,
His laughter ringing gay
And she who watched that reckless ride
Across the nursery floor,
And smiled upon the paper hat
And the wooden sword he wore
Yet saw, through mist or sudden tears,
A vision strange and new
Her little lad a soldier grown,
The prophecy come true!
Years after, when the play was real.
And through the crowded square
Brave men to battle marched away
Amid the trumpets' blare,
One watched with all a mothers pride
Their captain strong and tall;
Yet as she looked with loving eyes,
The pageant faded all!
She only saw a fair-haired child
Who galloped to the war
Upon his wooden hobby horse,
Across the nursery floor

 Among the teachers in attendance at the institute from Yavapai county is Clark Hit, who unites with the busi- ness of teaching an occupation con fined to comparatively small area of the United States, that of goat rais- ing. He has half interest in a flock of about 1 300 on the Verde. The pro- ceeds from the herd are derived from the sale of mutton, if goats flesh may be called mutton, to the mining camp at Jerome and from the sale of hair. The net price received from a con- signment of hair to the New York market this year was a little more than twenty cents a pound Wool netted sellers at the same time about six cents. A goat yields a little more than a pound of hair, but it is more easily taken and cared for than wool. Goats, too, need less care than sheep and are not subject to diseases which decimate fiocks of sheep.
 A young man living in the south western part of town is threatening to commit suicide on account of a do- nestle gap which has widened be- tween himself and wife. He procured quantity of laudanum and told his wife, who was about to leave him that he would consent to continue tc bear this earthly burden only on the condition that she would constantly watch him do it. A brief peace was patched up and the young man threw the poison away. War was re-declared yesterday morning and the husband promised to re-stock himself with lau- danum. Neighbors in that vicinity are beginning to weary of the sus- pense. Discussions between the war ring couple are held outside the house so that persons living within a block are made unwilling auditors of con. versations which are not always nice Therefore they are hoping that either suicide or permanent reconciliation will occur soon.

PRINCE BIsMARCIx's LETTER.

Mr.. Bryan made Prince Bismarck's letter
to Governor Culberson, of Texas, feature
of his speech at Wilmington Del, and free
silver papers are using it for all it is worth.
1t is worth nothing to the cause of free
silver at 16 to l. To begin with, Governor
Cuberson's letter to Bismarck was mis-
leading. He wrote;
The great question of finance is now of
supreme interest to the people OF the
United States. 1t is presented in various
forms, but in a general way it may be
said to be. first, whether the United States
shall adopt the single gold standard or,
second whether they shall adopt bmetal-
lism, with both gold and silver as the stand
ard or primary money. The argument IN ia
vor of each is well known to you. but it is
particularly insisted that we~should adopt
the policy of bimetallism because the supply
cent to meet the demand and because such
a standard will still further depresS the
values of all property
policy to adopt-the gold standard or binet-
'allism, giving your reasons?
,,omadiata adontion of binefaI iisn Nv the
United States have on the cause of bimet-
allsm in Germany and other great COM
mercial nations?
The letter carefully avoids any mention
of the ratio for which the free silverites
are contending and tries to make it appear
that they are advocating bimetallism when,
in fact, they are advocating silver mono
metallism. Bismarck replied:
Your esteemed favor has been duly re-
ceived. / hold that this is the Very hour
that would be advisable TO bring about be-
tween the nations chiefly engaged in the
worlds commerce Il mutual agreement in
favor of the establishment of bimetailism.
The United States are freer by far in their
movements than any nation OF Europe. and
hence. if the people Of the United States
should find it compatible with TIER inter-
ests to take Independent action in the di-
rection OF bimetailism / cannot but believe
that such action would exert most salu-
tary influence upon the contamination of
International agreement.
The controlling idea in this letter. in fact
the only one. is the desira bility of interna-
tional bimetallism. In 1871 Bismarck IA
vorad the single gold standard and was
