generally much below that OF minds
that have lost their individuality in
It. The personality of the men In a
mob is lost, for 1t Is recognized that
back of the ayowed causes of human
actions are, unconscious motives or
forces that defy investigation, and
that these are the mainsprings of
crowd activity. These. motives or
forces are the common characteristics
OF the race, and In these points peo-
pic are more alike than in the. ac-
quired characteristics that come with
education.
These forces are primitive, SO that
crowds are generally incapable of ris-
ing above primitive actions. And it is
this that explains in part how other
wise respectable people will assist at

Said to Have Made Most Remarkable
Ride in Spain.
Napoleon, though he had a rather
ungainly and by no means a safe seat,
was yet capable of doing splendid
work in the saddle, and one of his
feats places him in high notch. Las
Casas says of it:
His most celebrated ride was that
from Valladolid to Burgos-thirty-fi
Spanish leagues-in five hours and a
half. The emperor had left Valladolid
with a numerous escort on account of
the danger from guerrillas; at every
town some one was found to have
dropped behind, and Napoleon arrived
almost alone"
Now, considering that thirty.five
Spanish leagues are equivalent to las
English miles, these figures are abb
surd, but that the ride was an extra
ordinary one is attested by many indie.
