The ancient use of cross instead Of
signature was universal alike by
those who could and by those who
could not write. 1t was symbol Of
an oath from its earliest associations.
On this account Charles Knight, In
his notes on "The Pictorial Shake
speare." explains the expression God
save the mark" Henry w as a form
of ejaculation approaching to the form
of an oath. Kelly, in his Comments
on Scotch Proverbs" observes that tho
Scots. when they used to compare per
son. to person. used the expression.
Save the mark" Another explana-
ton OF the expression is that In arch
cry when an archer shot well 1t was
the custom To cry out. God save the
mark"-that is, prevent any one com
ing after to hit the same mark and
thereby displace the arrow. Ironically.
It was said to a novice whose arrow
struck nowhere.

Hirsch proved that touch on the
face was recognized by the brain and
responded to by a manual signal in
the one-seventh part Of second. The
scientist also found that the speed Of
sense differed for different organs, the
sense Of hearing being responded to in
the one-sixth Of a second. while that
of sight required only one-fifth OF a
second to be recognized and signaled.
In all three cases the distance travers-
ed was about the same. so the natural
inference is that the image travels
more slowly than sound or touch.
