A Feat of Memory.

Some light is thrown on the possibil-
tiles of memory culture by an interest
ing recital contained in the autobiOg-
raphy of Robert Houdin, the famous
conjurer. He taught his son to glance
at, say, shop window and to memo
riZe accurately, as in a brain picture,
the windows contents. Then he would
ask him to describe the contents, check
ing and correcting him as he went on.
On one occasion Houdin was COM
manded to the Tuileries to give a per-
Torrance before the French court. AS
he passed through an anteroom to the
saloon he babe his son note the arrange
ment of the rooms and the contents Of
the bookcases. Then at the close of the
entertainment Houdin astonished his
audience by giving what he called a
second sight" test. Declaring his un-
familiarity with the Tuileries, Houdin,
blindfolding his son, asked him to send
his gaze through the wall of the room
to the chamber beyond, to describe the
arrangement of the chamber and to
read the titles Of the volumes on the
shelves of the bookcases. This feat the
young lad accomplished, to the aston.
tshment of the court.
