10 Remember Faces

To remember a cace. as person IS

ity by which You can distinguish that
face or person from all other faces or
persons and associate the name with
that feature or popularity. No two
countenances or figures are alike, and
1t is by noting how they differ one from
another that you will remember them.
In explaining his remarkable mem

QUICKNESS OF SENSATION.

other Functions.

Prof. Richet says thai IL takes a
man about one-eleventh ~ a second
to think out each note OF musical
scale. He explains the practice that
people will often follow Of bending
their heads in order to catch minute
sounds. by the fact that the smallest
intervals Of sound can be made better
distinguished with one ear than with
both, remarks the New York Evening
Journal.
Thus the separateness of the click.
Of revolving toothed wheel were
noted by one observer when they did
rot exceed GO to the second. but using
both ears he could not distinguish
them when they occurred ofteuer than
IS times a second.
Among the various ways in which
Prof. Richet tried o arrive at conclu.
sions as TO the amount of time neces-
sary was the touching OF the skin re.
peatedly with light blows from . small
hammer. The fact that the blows are
separate and not continuous pressure
can be distinguished when they fol.
low one another as frequently as 1,O0c
n second.
The sharp sound Of the electric
spark from an induction coil was dis
tinguished with one ear, when the rate
was as high as 500 to the second.
The sight IS much less keen. When
revolving at speed no faster than "a
times second, disk. half white and
half black, will appear gray.
We also hear more rapidly than we

while with 20 TO he second we can

FILLING ARMY VACANCIES.
Ruling OF War Department That Pres
ident Alone Can Appoint Officers
In the Volunteer Ranks.

A special to the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch says that the war department
has ruled that the president alone can
appoint officers to vacancies in vol
unteer regiments caused by death,
resignation or discharge, after being
mustered into the United States serv-
ice. This will, it is said, invaldate q
number of appointments made by Gov.
Stephens to the five regiments now in
the field. Among those appointed by
the governor, after muster, is Mai
Henry S. Julian, former chief Of police
of Kansas City, to vacancy in the
Fifth Missouri volunteers.

CoIorIng Leather by Electricity.

A clever adaptation of the principle
Of cataphoresis, by which medicines

trical currents, has been made in the
decoration OF leather. The zns-cov-
cred table on which the hide or skin
il placed forms the positive pole for
the generation of current. The fluid
dyeing material is poured on this
table, and the negative pole is then
connected 10 the leather. The cur

immediate surface of the leather and

posed to know the sentiment of the people

the chairman Of the State Central Committee,
rs MIR. Scott has handed in his resignation,
but which | am thankful has not been
accepted. The members of that committee
from our county who attended that com
mittee's meeting, have not represented tho
sentiments of the Republican party in this
part of Cecil county. 1t has been but short
time since we were relieved of a Democratic
boss in our State and he was succeeded by
Republican boss, who was given the patron
age of the State to elevate him to one of the
highest positions in the country, and when
his course was not sustained or, rather, ap.
proved, he pettishly resigned his position.
Now that in a few weeks the same position il
to be filled he Is taking time by the forelock
and is seeking the same office he foolishly
resigned. Ii Mr. Scott will not continue ut
the head Of the State Central Committee it
is to be hoped some good Eastern Shoreman

State will he selected. Our county cOnven-
ton should speak out in no unmistakable
language and request the members of the

atives, by IA strong resolution, to support Il
man that will honor the State by giving
it chairman that will be above the petty
politics OF the man who was chairman prior
