The llavemeyer trial is developing
similar phenomena TO the trials
against the Oil Trust. In those court
records disappeared entirely, or the
leaves which they were written on
were torn out of the books. Witnesses
whose means hardly allowed them to
buy coffee and bacon, suddenly de-
veloped taste for European travel
and ability to stay at fine hotels, while
others took themselves off and shroud-
ed their doings in mystery. Ac-
count books disappeared by the shelf
fun, and as for loss of memory. it was
epidemic. For men who carried on
such extensive business combina-
tions so successfully. it was really re
markable how their minds gave way
suddenly. Perhaps it was the pre-
vious mental strain. The latest de-
velopment under the Sugar Trust case
is the disappearance of the shorthand
notes of Havemeyer's evidence. Re
markable how these things do get
lost

The present Sultan of Turkey is un-
like his predecessor, and to keep him
in line with the policy of the Powers
will require something more than dip
lomatic bullying and threats. The
success his arms have had against
Greece, will make him still hard
er to manage than heretofore, and the
signs that he has big head" are
written largely upon the kilograms
received by this mail. His plan is to
play off one set of Powers against the
other, and in this he seems to be sue
ceeding very well. If only one of the
Powers would withdraw from the
''discordant concert" there might be
some hope of the question being set
tied. AS things now stand. the great
Powers of Europe have each been
slapped in the face by the representa-
tive of mOribund autocracy and the
autocrat seems to gain strength by the
process. The united efforts of Europe
have been far from successful. It
would be a good thing for some one
of them to plya it's own hand.

AS long as the tariff question re-

about annexation. but as soon as that
is out of the way, the matter will be
brought prominently before both

regular session is still problematical,
but those who claim to know incline
to the latter view. That it is a cher

BROWN UNIVERSITY.
New Course OF Rapid English Reading
May Be Introduced.

A new course in rapid English reading
may be introduced at Brown University
soon. Professor Manly made the an
nouncement TO one Of the classes in Eng
lish literature at the noon recitation yes
terday. He said
1T is possible to do great deal of read
ing in short time and do it well. Some
people spell out each word as they read.
This wastes much time. IL necessitates an
order from the brain for each letter. Most
people read word at time. Tho brain
has TO give special command for each
word. When we get SO that We take in n
phrase at a time we can expect some
rapidity. i have tried an experiment in
this line and in two days increased my
speed from go pages an hour To over "a 100
OF course IL was a strain on me TO read
during these two days, but after | have
formed the habit it will come naturally.
'1t is just as If in walking we were
obliged TO stop and think for every step
We would make slow progress Some men
have formed the habit OF turning the
pages over i'm a book slowly and by the
time they have finished turning them over
they can tell what Is in the book, what
the main ideas are and whether the
arrangement IL new. Psychologists have
calculated the time IL takes for the con-
ception Of thought and from that we can
tell that "a person reading word at a time
cannot get through moro than 80 pages
an hour. We can, l think read POO pages
an hour.
"While at college, took lessons from
man in public speaking, who would
apparently reoite. He could place book
on the desk before him, look Mt the
audience and recite from the page before
him. He would glance at the page and
take In the whole line at a glance In
three weeks found could do it almost
as we'll as he did. am going To make
further Investigation on this question and
Will bring il up for oonslderat ion. Z"
