Historic Feats Of Memory.


Many of the historical feats of men,
DRY remain unrivaled. Seneca, the
Roman rhetorician, was able to repeat
two thousand words upon once hear
ing them, each. in its order, though
they had no dependence or connection
on each other. Pontius Latro retained
in his memory all the orations he
had ever spoken, without failing in
even a single word. Cyneas, ambassa-
dor to the Romans from King Pyrrhus,
in one day so we'll learned the names
Of his audience that the next morning
he saluted the whole senate ana all the
populace assembled each by name. Cy-
rus knew every soldier in his army by
name, and Scipio had a speaking &C
ouaintance with all the citizens OF
Rome. Herr Won Nieublin, a celebrated
German scholar, was once clerk III a
bank at Copenhagen, in which capacity
he gave proof of miraculous memory
by restoring, from recollection alone
the entire contents of leaf In the
bank ledger which had been lost BY

FUNNY LITTLE BOBBY BIRD
An Oceanic Fowl That Seems to Have
Less Sense Than Any Other
Known Creature.

The BOBBY bird, an oceanic fowl, Is
probably the funniest and most stupid
bird in the world. 1t appears to have
as little intelligence as the old ex-
tinct dodo had, according to the an
cient accounts.
The BOBBY nests on islands far out
in the Pacific ocean, and will not stir
out of the way when men land there.
but remains squatted on the ground
staring at iAtruders stolidly.
1t can fly very we'll indeed, and
goes long distances; but when it is
sitting on the water it will remain d.
rectly in the course of a ship, so that
it happens often that q steamer will
go clear over a BOBBY that could cas-
lily have swan or flown out of the
way. ...,~- =.
Sometimes BOBBY birds will fly on
the deck of ship and lie there with
their legs sprawling under them, max
ing no attempt to rise, as II their be-
wilderment had quite numbed their
weak intellect.
The BOBBY does not feed it's young
as other birds do. by carrying food
to them in its bill. Instead Of this
the BOBBY swallows the food, and
then the young bird thrusts it's head
into the throat of the parent and fishes
the food out.
