MIND FATIGUE is MEASURED.
Machine Used in Germany That
Keeps THb ON That Tired Feel
Ing Which Is SO Prevalent.

Among the curious exhibits that the
Prussian ministry Of public instruc-
ton will include in its educational dis
play at the st. Louis exposition is an
apparatus for measuring fatigue,
which is widely employed.
1t is called the aesthesiometer. and
measures the sensitiveness of the skin,
which responds directly to brain ia
tigue. the sensitiveness diminishing
as the mind wearies.
DR.. Schrader. professor at the Kaiser
Wilhelm gymnasium. at Hanover, has
perfected an instrument that meas
ures the time elapsing in the reaction
of the sensOrium after mental exer-
ton. The principle upon which it is
based is that mental work produces a
fatigue of the nerve centers.
The measurement of fatigue during
classroom work generally shows that
history makes only slight demand
on the mental powers. Geometry and
Latin are far more exhausting. During
the study of Latin the nerve power is
reduced one-quarter. and memory APP
pears TO snffer greatly.

NEW GERMAN COAL FIELDS.
hich Deposits Found In Lorraine, a
Valuable Addition to Empires
Resources.

1t is reported from Saarbruecken
that rich coal deposits have been found
recently in Lorraine, which will prove
of great Importance for the industrial
development of that part of the coun-
try.
In the vicinity of Bolchen the bor.
ings of the international Exploring
company, at depth of 1850 feet. have
shown the existence of coal deposit
of unusual extent. The borings also
have demonstrated that the shoots al
this Saarbruecken coal deposit extend
in one direction to the German River
Med. and in the other up 10 the linz
Decentralization, about 2S miles
farther than was formerly suppo> ed
These boringS have been going on for
the last three years.
AT Alerlenbach, in Lorraine. also
seven deposits of coal of a richness
heretofore not even dreamed of have
been found. For the last few wears
several companies have been exploring
in that part of the country without
much success, and only new company
succeeded after much work in finding
these honanZas.
The Importance If lorraine for
coal mining has only been recognized
recently, and these discoveries have
added greatly to it.

BIG GUMS GREAT TRIUMPH.
Most Satisfactory Results of the
Test of the SiNteen-Inch
Cannon.

In many respects the greatest tri-
umph in modern ordnance was sue
cesSfully tested at the government
proving grounds at Sandy Hook when
three shots were fired from the huge
l6-ineh coast defense rife. 1t is the
most powerful gun ever built in the
United States. The three shots served
to fulfill with wonderful accuracy the
mathematical calculations of the army
experts who had charge of the con-
struction of the gun. 1t was also dem
onstrated that the special smokeless
powder made for l6-inch guns had
been perfectly prepared. The gun cost
100000, and undoubtedly will be
mounted at Sandy Hook. The range at
the highest elevation was about 20
miles. but il could be used to hit objects
at only about one-fourth that distance.
Before the first shot was fired Gen.
Crozier, chief of ordnance, warned
those present that the gun might
burst, as the charge of smokeless pow
der was by far the largest ever fired.
The first charge was $50 pounds of
smokeless powder, and the velocity Of
the 2,4O0-pound projectile when il left
the muzzle was 1908 feet second.
The pressure of the powder in eNplod-
ing was $4,000 pounds to the square
inch.
The full charge Of Gao pounds of pow
der was used for the second shot. and
the velocity was 2.306 feet a second, or
six feet more than calculated. The
pressure was $4,000 pounds to the
square inch. The elevation of the
guns muzzle for the first and second
shots was one half degrees and the
ranges were 1900 and $500 yards.
For the final shot the muzzle was ele-
waited to four and half degrees, in
creasing the range to 1000 yards. The
charge was $40 pounds of smokeless
powder, and the pressure was $500
pounds to the square inch. All the
shots ricochetted two or three times
on the water, sending up great fom-
tains of spray.
Whether more guns of this pattern
will be built is a question. Some of
the officers present expressed the
opinion that number of smaller weap-
ons would be more effective than one
huge gun. Gen. Chaifee was among
those who witnessed the tests.

COachman. Not a Dog Catcher.

New York, July 2.-David Lamar,
the Wall street operator, has had a
severe personal encounter with his
coachman, James Mccain, at his
summer home, Seabright, N. j.
Lamar was knocked down twice, and
asserts he was badly bruised. His
face was lacerated and swollen from
the coachman's blow.
The trouble arose over Mrs. Lamar's
lap-dog. While she was driving the
dog leaped from the trap, and she
ordered the driver to catch it. He
refused, assuring Mrs. Lamar he was
not dog catcher. Finally sheiump-
ed to the ground, and, with the aid
Of a gardner, captured her pet.
Learning OF the affair, Lamar visited
the stable. The broker and servant
quickly came to blows. The coach
man declares Lamar struck first.
The broker denies this. At least, he
was felled twice in rapid succession,
and the coachman fled. He was sr
rested soon afterward and held to
the grandiury.
