Flat on His Back.
speed and duration of thought can be
determined. The subject sits with his
hand on an electric switch, connected
with an electric clock, which measures
the smallest fraction of second. I'M
mediately in front is an upright metal
tube, inside of which runs a slender
rod of steel, while directly opposite
the eyes of the subject is an opening
in the tube. AS the rod slides down
the interior of the tube white disc
appears at the orifce. The exact Sec
ond this appears the rod touches
spring at the bottom of the tube and
the clock is set in motion. The sub
ject is instructed to stop the clock
Just as soon as the white disc appears.
This he does for thirty times. The
length of time required for him to do
this is noted, and an average struck.
This average is called his physiolog-
ical time.
The subject is then told that the
disc appearing may be a colored one
If SO, he is to stop the clock. Should
it be white, however, he is to pay no
attention to it, The time required to
stop the clock ut the appearance OF
colored disc is always longer, and
when the physiological time is sub
tracted from the longer time the re

sunshades for Horses.

The Berlin Omnibus company, find.
ing that the hats used for horses are
unsuitable in the case of pairs, have
introduced "sunshades' for their pro-
lection from the sun. These sun
shades" consist of wire framework
covered with canvas, and fasten to the
harness. The advantage claimed for
this novelty is that. besides protecting
the animals from the sun, it allows a
free current of air to pass over their
heads.

A Price Is set on nearly every sound
walnut tree in eastern Pennsylvania
that has attained a diameter OF az
least three feet. The business OF ex'
porting walnut timber to Germany,
where il is in demand for veneering,
has reached such proportions that
agents for the exporters have hunted
out and made offers for almost all the
limited number of matured trees OF
this species remaining within easy ac-
cess of Philadelphia.
Bids are unnesitatingly made Tor
trees that have shaded colonial man
sions since the days OF the revolution
Sometimes the owner resists the temp
tation for months. Then the amount
of money offered is increased, and the
removal of the old tree Immediately
follows. For a tree three to four feet
in diameter at the base S25 to $50 IL

straightness and freedom from limbs
Trees of this size are generally more
than fifty years cid.
Sometimes a tree six or seven Zee
in diameter is discovered, and for this
giant, whose age is measured by cen
turtles, the price exceeds 500. The
buyers take only so much of the Woo

Americans had withdrawn.
On the morning of Aug. "a the
Americans, wearied by their marches
and retreats, were drawn up near
Bladensburg, with their backs to
Washington, six miles away. Between
them and the village of Bladensburg
ran the eastern branch, fordable, but
yet crossed by bridge. At noon the
enemy appeared in Bladensburg,
threw rockets at the Americans and
started to cross the bridge. The
American artillery spoke, and the
English retired with a loss Of one
killed and two wounded. Again the
enemy advanced in two columns, one
crossing the bridge and one fording
the stream. Reaching the Washing.
ton side of the stream the British
moved to the attack. The main part
of the American line, after firing a
few rounds, left the field. The troops
rallied quickly and formed line of
battle one mile farther back, Barney's
men being in the center. The fighting
continued for half an hour. Barney
was wounded. Col. Thornton, Capt.
Hamilton and Lieut.. Codd of the Eng
lish army were killed. The sailors,
aided by Peters battery and Ma
gruder's regiment, were fighting well.
But the American line gave way. II
