LENGTH OF A THOUGHT.
Results Of Experiments Made by a
Noted British Scientist.

How long does it take man to think?
Professor Richet, at the recent meeting
of the British Association, gave the re-
suits of h.S investigations into this SUBJ
ject. He found that by mentally run
ming up the notes of the musical scale
for one or more octaves and then di
viding the total time by the number
of notes thought Of, the time taken for
each note was one-eleventh of a sec
ond.
There are various ways of arriving
at conclusions as to the amount Of
time necessary for realizing any phys
ical sensation or mental impression. If
the skin be touched repeatedly with
light blows from a small hammer a
person may, according to Professor
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 separ-
ateness of the clicks Of a revolving
toothed wheel was noted by one observ-
er when they did not exceed sixty to the
second, but using both ears he could
not distinguish them when they oc-
Cured oftener than fifteen times sec
ond.
The sharp sound Of the electric spark
Of an induction coil was distinguished
with one ear when the rate was as hlgn
as 500 to the second. Sight is much
less keen than hearing in distinguishing
differences. If disc half white and
half black be revolved, it will appear
grav when its revolutions exceed twen-
ty-four per second.
II 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 count four clicks, while with twenty
to the second we can only count TWO OF
them.-Boston Globe.

pared for anything that may happen
and are rarely caught off guard. Oc-
casionally, though, the unexpected hap
mons as was the case with a veteran
who was relating his experience at
club the other evening While on my
bicycle to-day" he said, II was posi-
tive startled. On the asphalt street
T came up behind a big wagon loaded
with furniture. AS l aproacheo II
saw wheelman coming in the op-
posite direction in front or the van, aS
it approached to me. He seemed 70
be dangerously close to the horses, ana
1 did not see how there was TO De
room for us to pass. With cycl1st ,
instinct, I rang my bell vigorously as
7 swung to the left to pass the van.
Quick as a flash of lightning the r1der
disappeared and I saw the way entlre-
1v clear ahead. There was something
truly uncanny about it. AS l passed
the rear end Of the van just had time
to gee out of the corner of my eye,
that a large mirror was strapped there,
and then I realized that the man
thought / had seen coming toward me
was only my own reffectaon IN the
glass. The whole incident did not oc-
cupy more than ten seconds. coulo
not help smiling as l went on, TO tnlnk
that I had been almost frightened by
something as unsubstantfal as shad-
ow. but for a moment or two the emo
tion of alarm and possible danger had
had complete possession Of my mind" ;"
Despite the almost universal use OF
the bicycle, there are intelligent people
who still have vague notions as TO the
proper functions Of the bicycle bell
This is doubtless due largely to the
wrong and needless use OF 1t whlch
many wheelmen. especially of the
Juvenile class indulge in. Pedestrians
are too apt to think, when they hear
a bell. that it their duty either to halt
or hasten their footsteps in order to get
out of the way. The intelligent cyclist
means neither the one thing nor the
other when he presses his bell; he sim
ply wishes to announce his proximity
so that he will not cause alarm If he
passes close to the person on foot. he
prefers that the pedestrian should keep
on his way, since the moment ne saw
him the wheelman made his plan Tor
passing. which will be disarranged II
the pedestrian stops. AS rule, the
bell is to be regarded less as warning
than as a simple announcement, but II
will take a long time to educate the
community as a whole up to that idea
especially since numerous boys take de-
light in ringing their bicycle bells loud
and long. and virtually ordering every
body to get out Of their road
