Reformlnn the Alnhah.,.

Two scientists have tested the
speed with which the mind can recog.
nize certain letters. with interesting
results. The general conclusion arriv.
ed at is that the forms of the printed
letters Of the alphabet are adly con-
ceived from a physiological point OF
view. II they were composed Of char
acters Of simple construction, such
as are the letters and L. the speed
of recognition Of letters would be
greatly increased and the mental
fatigue would be greatly diminished.
1t is also suggested, as the result of
the experiments, that the letters
should appear white on black in.
stead OF black on white, in the usual
way of printing; for the speed of rec
ignition is about ten times less in the
former style than in the latter Fur
ther experiments might be undertaken
by these enterprising scientists with
a view to show whether white letters
on a black ground or vice versa are
the least harmful to the eyes.-Lei-
