some Great Memories.

Scaliger, the philologist OF the six
teenth century, who edited several Of
the classics, was SO certain Of his mem
] DRY, says the London Standard that
he undertook to repeat long passages
from Latin works with a dagger at his
breast, which was to be used against
him in the event OF his memory fail
ing; while Seneca, the tutor Of Nero,
could repeat two thousand words ex
actly as he heard them. Pope could
turn at once to any passage, which had
struck him when reading, and Leyden,
the Scottish poet, who died In the early
part OF the century, was also remarka-
BILE for his memory. = Leyden Is credited
with having been able to repeat an act
OF parliament or a lengthy legal docu-
ment after having heard It once. The
newspapers Of January, 1920, contain
frequent illusions to the case OF q man
named Thomson, who drew plans of
dozen London parishes, including
every church, chapel, yard, court, mon
ument, lamp post, and innumerable
trees and pumps, without references to
single book and without asking a
single question; and an English cler-
gyman mentions a man Of weak intel
lect who lived about the same time
who could remember the names and
ages of every man, woman and child
who had been buried in the parish dur
h ing thirty-five years, together with the
dates OF burial and the names OF the
mourners present at the funeral, That
great memories are not the product Of
civilization Is proved by an instance
recorded BY Dr.. Moffatt, the great
African missionary. DR.. Moffatt once
preached sermon to a group OF me-
groes, and was shortly afterWard at
tracted by the gesticulations of young
savage addressing a number Of blacks.
On going UP to the group he was
amazed to hear the savage reproducing
his own sermon word for word.
