At the Giessen congress on psychol-
ogy Professor Mueller of Goettingen
told of certain DR.. X. who within a
few seconds was able to work out the
square of any number of five figures
given to him. He was also able to
learn by heart and repeat row of
figures 2O4 in number within twelve
and a half minutes. Professor Muel-
Ter asserted that no such memory for
figures had ever been known, the rec
ord having been 204 figures in seventy
five minutes.

for ropes, mats, kitchen utensils, etc.
