A BRAIN TESTER.
An Iowa Professor Has Invented "a
Wonderful Instrument.

IOWA CITY. Ia, June 3.-"Are you
bright and "What are you good for?'
are vital questions to every one. says DR..
Carl +. Deashore of the University of
Iowa, who has invented a testing ma
chine called the "psychcrgograph, which
will answer the questions in a scientific
manner. 1t consists of two parts, one
looking like typewriter and the other
like the graphic recording apparatus of
telegraph instrument. Its operation is
simple. the closing of an electric key and
pressing of Il clock lever being all that is
necessary to start the apparatus, which
works automatically.
The person to he tested takes a seat in
front of the instrument and places
finger on each of the four keys one after
another, as in typcwliting. Each key is
labeled with Il color. The key of the col
or touched by the person being tested is
touched by the operator and 10y electrical
action the color in the Slot is Immediately
changed.
The other part of the psycherGograph.
by means of five pencils working on Il
continuous paper tape. records the
amount of work done. the time required
for each action and the quality of the
work. DR.. DoaShore says of his inVcn-
tom 1T is not a mind gauge which meas
urcS the whole mind. but the power TO do
certain kinds of mental work may be
measured correctly by it. such as atten-
ton, discrimination. perception, sensation

A BOLD ROBBERY,
Aged Man Held Up-Exciting Chnse
After Thieves

NEWCASTLE, Pa, June 4.-One of
the most daring hold ups ever perpetrated
in this part of the state took place in
Ellwood City yesterday afternoon. Three
unmasked men met Costen Burns, an
aged and wealthy resident of that place,
who started to his quarries with $1,000
to pay his hands. just in the rear of the
Ellwood Seamless Tube works, almost In
the heart of the town, he met three stran-
gers in rig. They accosted him, and he
entered into conversation with them. Sud-
denly one of the trio, a large man wear
ing black goggles. stepped into Burns
buggy and seized him 10y the throat. One
of the others seized the satchel containing
the cash intended for the quarrymen and
jumped into his own rig. The man with
the goggles followed, and the three lash
ed their horse to a run and disappeared
before Burns could recover from the at
tack.
\ posse was hastily organized and
came upon the highwaymen about two
miles from the scene of the robbery. 4
heavy exchange of shots took place be-
tween pursuers and pursued. One of the
robbers was crippled by shot and was
an easy victim, while the leader, the man
with the goggles, was captured after his
ammunition was exhausted. Over 800
was found on the second robbers person,
but the third man escaped and is yet at
large with Sl.IOO of the stolen money.
The prisoners are strangers here and alb
solutely refuse to talk. The man who es-
capped went in tie direction Of the Ohio

ECZEMAIS
ITCH IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
Illumination little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any
form is tornenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbeatable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
1t will keep the skin irritated.
