Mechanical Aids to Rapid Reading.

At the meeting of the French Acad-
envy of Sciences, held recently, M.
Andre Broca and M. Sulzer commu-
nicated paper on the subject of rapid
reading. They showed that the diff
ferent letters of the alphabet are not
all apprehended with the same quick
ness. For instance, the time taken
to recognize an z is nearly one-third
longer than that taken to recognize
T. They consider that the alphabet
is badly designed from a physiological
point of view. 1t should be composed
of very simply designed letters as T
or L. Rapidly of reading would thus
be increased and brain flag" would be
notably diminished. 1t would also be
better 10 have the letters printed in
white on black ground than the sys-
tenn which obtains at present. The
time taken to recognize a letter print
ed in black on a white ground was
nearly ten times longer than white on
a black ground.
