From the New York Journal.
AS a recent instance of the possibili-
ties of the human brain, and to illus
trate how the billion pigeon holes of
memory are packed full, the mental
feats of Miss Victory Bateman, the
we'll known actress, may be cited.

about the same number. The average
number of words in a modern novel is

Shakespearc's vocabulary was about
10000 different words. John Milton
was poverty stricken with 5000, and
the ge man of the day manages
to get along with half as many.
And Miss Bateman only wears a

in her brain, but from other recesses
she can drag out their synonymes
From still other recesses she can recall
the various shades of expression nee s.
sary to give them proper value.
She can remember in their connection
the stage technique, where to stand,

great many persons who are re-
quired to memoriZe lines and char
acters do so on some kind of "mem-
DRY system"
Miss Bateman has never sought hem
of this nature. 1t seems to be a fact
that nature improves and multiplies
the pigeon-hole system of the brain of
constant study.
Miss Bateman's best training was to
learn a short poem or sketch, then q
longer one, then still longer one until
she was enabled to memorize an entire
play.
In this way her memory was educat-
ed to a point that she had but little
difficulty in memorizing anything
which she set about. Unlike most
actresses her memory never deserts her
for a moment.
Miss Bateman firmly believes she has
reached her limit. That is to say,
when she memories her next play she
believes that she will partially forget
those she has already memorized.
She says: "a perfect memory is
gift with some people, but any intelli-
gent person can acquire the faculty.
My own is the result of Constant APP
plica ton and hard study"

The Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad is
making preparations to build first
class depot on the old N. Y, P. & N. r.
r. property at Norfolk for the accom-
mediation of the patrons of the road
who pass daily between Newport News
and the city across the Roads.
There is no denying the fact that the
passenger and freight traffic between
Newport News and Norfolk is growing
to immense proportions and it is appar-
ent that the G. & 0. must make many
more improvements both on this side
of the water and the other in order to
accommodate it, The property here is
valued in the millions and what i'm
provements the Chesapeake & Ohio may
contemplate at its terminal point can
not be learned at this time.
1t Is known, however, that the i'm
provements recently started in Norfolk
will be completed in their entirety while
the company is at it. The new passen-
ger depot there will be a handsome
building on the most modern style and
will also be the Office of the Norfolk
branch C the road, Its cost and the
style Of the building have not been

NOT RIGHT now.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Com.
parry viii Postpone Building Steamer.

The Chesapeake 6 Ohio Railroad will
rot build :, ,.cw steamer ct present to
take the Dl1co CT the Louise on the route
between Newport News and Norfolk
This information is obtained from re-
liable source and can be depended upon.
Some weeks ago the Daily Press
made the announcement that the
railroad had decided to build a larger
and more commodious passenger and
freight side-wheei steamer to replace
the Louise, which is an old vessel, and
while still serviceable, does not meet the
needs of the company. At that time
the officials of the road were seriously
considering the project and it is under
stood that the Fletcher Company, of
New Jersey, had practically received
the contract to build the steamer. The
announcement of the decision OF the Of
ficers Of the road to replace the Louise
with another boat was confirmed by Of
fetal sources.
1t seems now, however, that while
the majority Of the C. & o. officials ap-
proved the undertaking, President NJ e.
ingalls, opposed it at the present time.
That settled it, and the Chesapeake &
Ohio will wait awhile before it builds
another steamer. Some little time
ahead, when the road makes other i'm
provements contemplated, the steamer
project will probably materialize.
With this announcement comes an
other which will be somewhat of sur
prise to the local shipping world. The
Louise will be overhauled in a short
time and will be thoroughly repaired
and refitted. This statement alone would
not seem strange, but it is learned that
the old steamer will very probably go
to Richmond to have this work done.
The new shipyard Of William r. Trigg
& Co. which recently received the con-
tract from the government for several
torpedo boats and destroyers. will, it is
expected, get the Chesapeake & Ohio
work. If the Louise goes to Richmond
for her overhauling, this will be the first
private contract awarded to the Trigg
Company. If the work is done satisfac-
torily, 1t is not unlikely that all of the
floating repair work of the road will go
to Richmond's new shipyard.
