Every man should have impressed

In a big store in Twenty-third street,
New York city, small negro lad, ii
or 10 years old, works for living.
One day at that store this writer asked
for a book apparently seldom pur-
chased. Various dignified white men
were asked about the book. They
thought that they did not have 1t, but
to make sure they asked the colored
boy. Without moments hesitation
he pointed out certain balcony on
the east side of the store and told ex.
actly where the small volume could be
found. Every one Of the thousands
of books in that store was located in a
definite spot in that young negro's
mind, despite the fact that he probably
had seen the insides Of very few of
the volumes.
The two instances quoted are not
unusual. They indicate merely the
most superficial sort of development of
one particular mental faculty, that Of
recollection. a more remarkable in

Yet the greatest development Of any
human brain has never taxed even to
the slightest degree the actual capacity
of the mind.
No matter to what extent you may
train your mental faculties, no matter
how much you may use your brain. you
will still be like the man who has spent
s or 6 cents and has million dollars
in the bank.
We are justified in believing that we
are destined to marvellous mental
achievements in the future, when we
consider the instrument of thought
that has been given to US and which
is so little used at present.
A scientist named Meinert calculates
that the gray matter Of the brain con-
tans 600,00O.000 cells.
That in itself seems quite complicat'
ed. If we only had one thought stored
away In each cell, we would know
quite good deal.
But you must remember that each
cell is divided into several thousand
molecules separately divisible.
Every one of these molecules con-
tains many millions of atoms. IN
uuestionably each separate atom plays
its part In the working Of the brain.
Figuring on a very modest basis. you
find that your brain contains l9ooo'-
600, OOO, OOO, 100000 separate atoms.
The theory that the atom Is an indi'
visible particle Of matter, which Is IN
dictated by its name, meaning uhcuti'
Bile, Is only theory not by any means
demonstrated. There Is no reason TO
believe that there is any limit to the
universe In the direction Of bigness or
littleness. What we call an atom may
be in effect an indivisible particle OF
matter or It may be small universe
IN itself. However this may be, don
