Triumph of American Engineer.

In constructing the power transmits
sion line from the Cauvery falls to the
Kolar gold mines. In Mysore, India,
the American engineers employed to
do the work had to deal with some un.
common problems. The line, ninety.
two miles long, is carried on lofty
poles through the jungle. Here the
depredations of white ants and wild
elephants had to be prevented. The
ants attacked the poles and the ele-
plants pulled at the wires. Iron sock
cts seven feet high were found to be
effective against the ants, and after
careful measurements Of the highest
reach Of the elephants trunks the

The Mystery of Memory.

Amnesia, or loss of memory, Is
chiefly interesting to the psychologist
as throwing some light on the nature
Of memory itself. A perfect act OF
memory consists OF three distinct acts
preservation or fxation of certain
states of the nerve cells, reproduction
Of these and, perhaps most remark
able Of all, recognition of them as
reproductions in their relations Nor.

any Of these phases of an act which
There are about three thousand mil
lion nerve cells in the surface of the
human brain; they never, die in health
and they are never replaced or added
to. This is memory's machine.

Upon Arenta's brother he had not
produced pleasant impression. With
out intention, he had treated young
Van Ariens with that negative polite
ness which dashes n sensitive man,
and makes him resentfully conscious
that he has been rendered incapable
OF doing himself justice. And Rem
tried in various ways to introduce
some conversation which would afford
him the pleasure of contradiction. He
failed to consider that his barely
yelled antagonism compelled from the
doctor, and even from Cornella and
Arenta, attentions he might not other
wise have received. So Hyde easily
became the hero of the hour, he was
permitted to teach the girls the charm
ing old-world step Of the Pas de
Quatrc, and afterwards TO sing with
them merry airs from Figaro, and sen.
timental airs from Lodoiska.
Fortunately, some of DR. Moran's
neighbors called early in the evening.
Then whist parties were formed. But

The PRAYERS Of Children.

magazine. God forgive Frances,

Queer Street Names.

Many British towns have distinctive
and interesting names for their
streets. London's Cheapside and Aid
wych are more than matched by oddi-
ties many times stranger. Bootham
is street in York, and Botchergate in
Carlisle. Norwich Is assertive of class
distinction In Gentleman's Walk, and
Shrewsbury may stand almost at the
head of list of peculiarities with its
street labeled Dogpole, which may or
may not be related to Newcastle's
Dogleap Stairs; but then Newcastle
has Pudding Chare. and what may
that signify?
