A professor of mnemonics had gone

er the lecture was finished he had to
wait for his London train. It was q
most comfortless day, and he retired
to an inn for shelter and refreshment

his feats of memory to the yokels in

thunderstruck except the waiter. There

OF one of his most difficult feats tbe
whistle sounded of the "Only train m

and his reputation caught it in the inn

some ordered Refreshments and finding
him gone, pointed to the corner where

British Paper Praises 1t, as shown
I'm Football and Baseball Cuts.
The existence of an American type
is denied by Il. G. Lindsay of the Brit
ish embassy at Washington in a recent
report on alien immigration into the
United States, published as a Blue
Book by the British government. Mr..
Lindsay, who characterizes the peop-
ling of this country by immigration as
"one Of the most remarkable move
ments of population to be met with in
history" says ON this point:
1T must take many generations be-
fore Americans are physiologically diff
ferentiated from Europeans as much,
for example, as the French are from
the Germans There is no such thing
as an American type, and even if in
the towns Of Europe it is possible 20
point out tourist as an American
recognition is effected by mere out
ward marks, such as the style of
dress.'
with this opinion the British Medi-
cal Journal announces disagreement,
which it sets forth in terms compli-
mentary to the physical development
Of Americans. Says this paper:
I'm illustration we would draw Mr..
Mndsay's attention to the photographs
Of college football and baseball teams
in many of the American magazines,
which exhibit a well-marked and, it
may be added, fine type. What has
become of the conventional Uncle Sam,
the long, loose-limbed creature of
Punch cartoons, we know not. The
American of to-day presents a firm,
square jaw, broad brow and clear,
keen eye, which together usually rend-
er recognition of his nationality
matter of no great difficulty"
