vineyard and got on an occasional
spree he was visited ny Satan, who
drank with him. His majesty of Hades
slew lamb, lion pig and an ape
to teach Noah that man, before wine
is in him, is a lamb; when he drinks
moderately he Is n lion; when he
drinks like sot he is swine, and
any excess after reaching that stage
makes him an ape that senselessly
chatters and jabbers. fail to see
where man or wine has changed in
1000 years. We have the lamb, lion,
pig and ape with us every day.-New

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 fiXation 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
bid states of the memory may refer to
any of these phases of an act which

Triumph Of American Engineer.
In constructing the power transmits
sion line from the Cauvery falls to the
kolar gold mines, in Mysore, India,

do the work had to deal with some I'M
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 we're found to be
effective against the ants, and after
careful measurements of the highest
reach of the elephants trunks the
wire were strung at safe elevation.
