Marvellous Memories.

Many of the greatest men have had
phenomenal memories. Caesar knew
the names of thousands of soldiers in
his legions. A modern man of sci
ence often has a prodigious memory
for special terminology. Prof. Asa
Gray asserted that he could at once
recall the names of something like
$4,000 plants Prof. Theodore Gill can
do the same for fishes. The memory
for mere words is much more exten-
sive than is generally admitted. The
average child of two year old has
vocabulary of some 500 words, and
its father may have the command of
10000 more. The 10000 verses Of the
Rig Veda have for 5000 years been
accurately preserved in the memories
of the Brahmins. Not one Brahmin
alone, but thousands, can to-day recite
it word for word. Thousands of Mo
hammedans likewise know the Koran
by heart, as all learned Chinese know
their classic books. The chiefs of
Polynesia can, and do, repeat hun
dreds of thousands of words in their
Misunderstanding days, and even
weeks, for the recitation. Hundreds
of pianists can play all day. and many
days, by memory, and Won Bulow can
conduct Beethoven's Fifth Symphony
without score. Chess players have
a visualising memory, musicians have
an auditive and a motor memory,
while arithmetical prodigies may
have any one of the three.

After Eight thousand Years.

A number of ancient graves con-
tanning human remains have just
been discovered at Girga. in Upper
Egypt. The graves containing the re-
mains are said to consist of a CON
tinuous series extending over an in
terval of at least 5000 years, which
represent the most archaic of prehis-
toric periods. The bodies are so
well preserved, owing, doubtless, to
the dryness of the atmosphere where
they were inferred and to the perfec-
tion of the interment. that not only can
the hair, nails and ligaments be made
out, but the muscles and nerves.
In almost every case the brain is said
to be preserved, and the climax has
been reached in two examples where
the eyes with lens in good conditi- !
are present, and in others in which
the muscles and nerves are still in
tact. There are also now unearthed
series of later prehistoric graves
ranging throughout the first fifteen
dynasties. others of the eighteenth.
and yet others of the Ptolemaic and
early and recent Coptic periods. This
vast cemetery" has been excavated
by DR.. Reisner for the University of
California. The discovery is of great
Importance in that it will add to our
knowledge of life on our planet at a
period long before the earlist histori-
cal records.

A still, small voice is heard.

the committee permitted the United

Then a new committee was appointed,
consisting of Henry Middleton, Elias
Boudinot and Edward Rutledge who,
in April, 1882, undertook to provide a
design. They copied the old ideas,

May 8, 1882, lies on the table with the
others. Congress then referred the
matter of a seal to its secretary
Charles Thompson, who got a Mr.
William Barton of Philadelphia to
help him design a seal. Its insignifi-

The Stone Woman of 'wineen.


In New South Wales, near Wingen,
a singular natural curiosity is observ-
able. This is an object popularly
known as the Stone Woman of Win
gen. The spur of a mountain range,
known as Salisbury Crag, terminates
in a bold. bluff headland, about TOO
feet above the level of the valley
which it commands, the profile as
suming the form of gray stone
woman of enormous dimensions sit
ting with her back against the cliff,
her head separated from the top and
her feet hidden among the trees
which grow up to the bottom of the
cliff. On her knee there is resting an
open book, which she is mot reading
but instead is. gazing forever with q
steadfast, unchanging look down the
beautiful valley of the Hunter. From
where the feet of the stone woman
rest among the towering treGs that
grow around the base of Salisbury
Crag to the summit of her head must
be about 500 feet, so that if she were
to stand up straight some day she
would be about 800 feet high. II

Strange Marine Search.

Little julius Cohen was drowned
twelve days ago at Coney Island creek
and the body has been recovered in
most unusual manner. After the
father had the creek dragged day
after day, unsuccessfully, a sailor
said:
Get a loaf of bread and cut the
center out. Then fill the hole with
quicksilver and put the bread in the
water near where the boy was
drowned. 1t will float until directly
over the spot where the body lies
and then sink"
The loaf was prepared and placed
on the water. 1t foated for half an
hour, then settled in the water and
suddenly shot under. The child's body
was found directly beneath the spot
where the loaf sank.-New York Sun.

Victor Emanuel and His Father

Victor Emanuel III. of Italy is curl
ously the reverse of all that his father
was. Humbert was very ugly man;
his irregular features possessed a sort
of vulgarity astonishing enough in the
representative of the most ancient
royal house in Europe. His widely
opened eyes were almost fierce in
their expression and his manners we're
brusque almost to rudeness. He cared
nothing for letters, nothing for art
music bored him; and he used to say
with a laugh that he had rather any
day look at a sewing machine than at
the finest work of Benvenuto Cellini.
His son has the clear-cut features of
his aristocratic house, with a soft, al
most dreamy look in the beautiful
eyes belied by the strong lines of lips
and chin. He is short of stature and
slender of build, but there is no hint
of weakness either of body or mind
about him.

Congress has never legislated on the
Presidents flag. 1t was established
arbitrarily by the Secretary of the
Navy, and presumably the changes
made in the device upon the always
blue field have been made at the sug-
gestion of the President.
The Presidents flag is used only at
sea, and the last time it was used
was on a recent visit to Annapolis.

Hamlin Garland Declares Their Hero

Heroines of English and early
American novelists were decried by
Hamlin Garland in lecture yesteT>
day at the University of Chicago.
Summer co-eds were much amused
when the lecturer declared that the
old-time heroine was as beautiful as
an angel and just as insipid. Books
which picture the heroine in this
manner are not good for the young
girl of to-day to read, according to
Mr.. Garland, who said that a great
many things which girls learn about
they get from novels, and, therefore,
the best novel ought to be true to
common, everyday nature.
There is not so much loving and
love-making in everyday life as
poets suppose" he said. Man is too
busy during the day to be thinking
of love songs and ditties. Courtship
remains just as sweet and enhancing
as ever. People are beginning to dis
countenance the tin-sword romances
of the past and appreciate the actu-
alities of the present"

all new, but so changed that many
who have for nearly forty years been
familiar with the Presidents banner
will question the ownership of this
fine new one which to-day hangs in
an office in the navy department, not
quite finished.
The design on the flag is not
changed excepting the crest" 1t re-
ally isn't a crest at all, according to
heraldry technicalities. The sunburst
above the eagles head in the Ameri-
can coat-ofarms had to have a title,

the colors are changed, and, many be-
lieve, much for the better. The Pres
ident's flag, in plain United States,
is the coat-of-arms of the United
States on a blue field.
The seal or coat of arms of the
United States was adopted by the
continental congress June 20, 1882.
There was a long discussion over the
design, and many of the eminent
statesmen of the day presented their
ideas of what should figure upon the
seal. Finally "Dr. Franklin, Mr.. John
Adams and Mr.. Thomas Jefferson
were appointed a committee to pre-
pare device for a great seal for the
United States of America"
So many designs of merit were sub
mitted that the committee authorized
Jefferson to combine the various ideas
in one design, which he tried to do
and on August 10. 1776, presented this
compact seal to the congress.
