Republican Senators are as a rule

drafted the amendments, had good
reasons for every amendment they

TIME NEEDED IN THINKING.
Scientists Are Now Experimenting
on This Interesting Subject.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Experiments regarding the time needed
by the average man to think are now en-
gaging the attention of scientists. Just
how long it does take a man to think was
the topic discussed by Prof. Richet at a
recent meeting of the British associa-
ton. He gave the results of his invest-
cation on the subject and made some in
teresting remarks upon them. Among
other things he found that a man could
think of the notes of the musical scale at
the rate of eleven to the second. The ex-
pertinent was performed by running the
notes for one or more octaves and then
dividing the total time by the total num-
Der of votes.
There are various ways of arriving al
conclusions as to the amount of time nee
essary for realizing any physical sensa-
ton or mental impression. If the skin
be touched repeatedly with light blows
from a small hammer a person may ac-
cording to Prof. Richet distinguish the
fact that the blows are separate and not
continuous pressure when they follow one
another as frequently as 1000 a second.
The smallest intervals Of sound can be
much better distinguished with one ear
than with both. Thus the separateness of
the clicks of a revolving toothed wheel
was noted by one observer when they did
not exceed sixty to the second, but using
both ears he could not distinguish them
when they occurred oftener than fifteen
times a second The sharp sound of the
electric spark of an induction coil was
distinguished with one ear when the rate
as high as 500 to the second
Sight is much less keen than hearing in
distinguishing differences. If a disk half
white and half black be revolved 1t Will
appear gray when its revolutions exceed
twenty-four per second.
1t has been found that we can hear far
more rapidly than we can count so that
| if a clock-clicking movement runs faster
than ten to the second we can only count
four clicks, while with twenty to the sec
ond we can only count two of them. Fa-
tigue and want of nervous vigor has a
marked effect in frightening the shortest
time that we can distinguish between
different Impressions.
Alcohol acted. as might be expected. in
making the subject of experiment not
able to distinguish such minute intervals
of time as he was able to do without It.
and al the same time in making him be-
lieve that he was doing better than
usual.
