CHICAGO. March S.-"We cannot make
our reports on the erg0graph tests for
several months" said Professor Smedlcy.
1--WE examine twenty-five pupils daily,
taking an average Of that number in
each grade in the different schools. The
tests to-day were made with the ergo
graph. manuometer, audlometer. stadio-
meter, and scales. The. only test not
made was that Of the spiometer or lung
testing machine.
THE examiners are without knowledge
OF the tompcraments Of the children un-
der examination. by the ergograph the
nerve strength Of the child is ascertdined.
The pupil is seated at table and the
right hand and arm are firmly fastened
to slopiDg board. the middle finger
being free 10 act. This finger is placed
in the loop of wire attached to a
Siding index of the ergograph. Attached
10 the index Is a weight suspended over
a pulley and hanging toward the door.
As a, metrOnOme ticks on the seconds,
the pupil pulls the string and lets u go
back, continuing until unable TO move

marks the length of the pull and indi-

The applicability Of the ergOgraph test"
said Dr. Christopher rs in that II has
been discovered there is d relation be-
tween the muscular condition Of the
pupil and the mental capacity at the
same time"
Mrs. Agnes NJ. Hardrinse, principal Of
the Alc0tt school. gave confirmation 10
some OF the tests by stating that some
OF the pupils i'm the cases Of whom the
ergograph showed wavering and jerky
lines. were OF a nervous disposition. IN
general. the test OF the Chicago school
children so far as made shows physi-
cal condition above the average estab-

Ii is not expected the test Will be COM
pleted until June.
"A fad H. what some people VIII can

drews. discussing the tests. but II is not
a fad. We have reason 20 believe the
child is weaker in certain years or us

WILL WEIGH THE MAILS.

Under direction of the postmaster
general, all postoffices in the country
will begin on October 3rd to weigh all
mail sent out. There are so, 900 offices
in the country and mail will be weighed
for thirty-five days straightway. Mail
has not been weighed by the govern
ment for twenty years, and everybody
has been at sea for a long time as to
whether too much or too little was being
paid the railroads and other transporta-
ton companies for mail transmission.
The country has grown wonderfully
since 1879 and figures at that time are
no longer q safe base for calculation.
In 1879 the total length of mail routes
was 70, 991; this year it is TIA, III. The
cost of carrying the mail in 1879 was
81, 500, 600, and last year it was $35, 900,
600. On the reports received as a result
of weighing, the government will base
new contracts with railroads, steamboat
lines, electric lines, etc. Full instruc-
tions to ~postmasters are now being pre-
pared by the ex-post commission which
has been working out details for a num-
Der of weeks.
