Rock Pictures In Oregon.

Or, recently discovered some remark
able hieroglyphics about 10 miles north
east from the north end of Warner val
ley on the edge of what is locally known
as the desert in Lake county. Mr..
Whittemore says the hieroglyphics had
been cut with a sharp instrument in the
surface of the hard basaltic rock. They
cover the face of the bluff for distance
of about three miles and consist of pic
lures Of Indians with bows, arrows and
spears, besides deer, antelope, dogs and
wolves, geese, ducks swans and reptiles

animals are characters which, of course,

THE NAME CAME BACK.
And For Awhile the Dootor Could Not
SEQ the Hufsnr of It

SEQ the HuitDr Of It.
1t is a familiar contention among
psychologists that an incident once
thoroughly presented 10 the human
mind cannot be effaced from the mem
ory. In this connection DR.. Cyrus Ham
lin, the well known missionary to Tur-
key and the founder Of Robert college.
Constantincple, is reported by the Wash
ington Star as telling humorous story.
Among Dr. Hamlin's friends and
substantial helpers was PHILADELPHIA
gentleman, whose name could not be re-
called by the doctor, who was then in
Turkey. Every incident connected with
their interviews, even to the street and
number Ct the house in which his bene-
factor had lived, was as plain to the
doctor as if the events had occurred but
yesterday, but to save his life he could
not think Of the gentleman's name.
As time went on this failure Of mem
ory caused him serious ANNOYANCE. and
he adopted all sorts of expedients TO
bring back the name. He would take the
letters of the alphabet one at a time and
think over all the surnames he had ever
heard but to no avail. Then in his
imagination he would start down the
street where his friend had lived. enter
the house, go through the ceremony of
introduction and repeat word for word,
as nearly as he could remember it, the
conversation which had taken place be-
tween them, but still he could not recall
the name
When, after 30 years, be returned to
his native land ON a visit, he took the
trouble to go to Philadelphia, in order
to settle the question which had been
puzzling him so long. He visited the
house, but found only strangers, who
could tell him nothing of the people
who had lived there so many years be-
fore. So finally DR.. Hamlin abandoned
the search, thinking that here at last
was a case where something had been
thoroughly presented TO the human
mind, and as thoroughly effaced.
One night, after he had returned per-
manently to this country, he attended a
large dinner where were several dis
tinguished psychologists During the
evening the conversation turned upon
the subject of memory, and the we'll
known scientific principle was discussed.
This was too good an opportunity to be
lost, and DIR. Hamlin proceeded to relate
his experience at length, as an example
Of the opposite kind.
He was, of course, listened to with
great interest, and as he approached the
end of his story he said, with great I'M
pressiveness;
Gentlemen, there was an incident
presented to my mind more than 40
years ago, and have not been able to
think of the name Of Captain Robinson
from that day to this. -
When his climax was greeted by
hearty burst of laughter, the worthy
doctor looked round in great astonish-
ment, for he thought he had told
pretty good story and could see nothing
in il to oprovole mirth. Itwas some time
before the truth Of the matter dawned
upon him.

"Harry," she said reproachfully.
"Wells" he returned apprehensively,
for there was that in her tone that made

"Well?" he said again for want OF
something better to say.
"When mere girl, she explained
regretfully, II made a solemn vow that
lips that touched wine should never

'Oh, is that all?" he said with evil
dent relief. If you were little more
