One Faculty Strongly Developed In
Many insane Persons.

One Faculty Strongly Developed In
Many insane Persons.
One Of the most peculiar features Of
insanity Is that occasionally one fac
uity, either sight, hearing. smell. taste
or touch. Is extraordinarily acute. Ger
tain Insane persons. lnsensible to every
other impression. have II pronounced
taste for music and can repeat with
accuracy an air which they may have
heard but once. Others have q recol-
lection OF form and color and display
an aptitude for drawing, while more
frequently one may meet with an In.
mate Of an asylum who has special
memory for figures. dates. proper
names and words generally.
There Is case on record, for In
stance. OF an imbecile who at twenty
seven had such an extraordinary men,
ory that he could solve the most difii-
cult problems In arithmetic and alge-
bra and repeat word for word long
poems after once hearing them. In
another case boy of fourteen. with a
defective brain. who had the greatest
difficulty In learning to read. could. II
allowed two or three minutes to run
over page printed In foreign Ian
gunge or treating Of questions OF which
he was ignorant. repeat the words from
memory as correctly as II the book had
been lying before him.
Very curious was the case OF an.
9th oh hun IN
could remember the day when every
person had been buried In the parish
for thirty-five years and could repeat.
with unvarying accuracy. the name
and age OF the deceased and mourners
ut the funeral. And yet he was com.
plete fool. and outside Of the line Of
burials he had not one idea and could
not give an intelligent reply to single
question or even be trusted to feed
himself.
At Earlswood asylum. England. they
have records Of imbeciles who could
not only repeat accurately page or
more of any book which had been rend
years before. even though II was
book they did not understand IN the
least, but also Of an insane person who
could repeat backward what he had
Just read.
Another curious case Is that Of un
imbecile who. In the first place. never
failed TO go to church and who on
reaching home could repeat the ser.
mon word by word. saying. Here the
minister coughed; here he stopped to
blow his nose." and so on.
In another case an imbecile knew
the Bible so perfectly that II you asked
him where such and such verse was
to be found he could tell without hes.
itation and repeat the chapter.
All these instances are we'll authenti-
Gated. and others equally amazing and
true could be added And just as there
is one sense which Is sometimes won-
derfully acute In persons Of weak in
tellect. so In the case Of blind people
the sense Of smell or hearing IL often
very keen.
One of the most remarkable cases on
record was that Of Julia Brace. a fe-
male deaf and blind mute who could
distinguish brothers and sisters by
smell and who recognized anybody she
had met before by the same tneans.-

LONDON, Dec. 4. - A grave IN
dictment of the administration Of
the navy was made by Lord Charles
Beresford in a speech delivered at the
pnnual dinner of the Dolphin Socie-
~ at Bristol recently. He said:
think I know what is In the
minds of my audience. You are all
conscious OF vague belief that In
the common phrase. Tine navy Is all
right" You say to yourself that
his majesty's ministers have told us
again and again that our sea SUI
premacy Is unassailable, and that
there must be some truth In that
statement. Nevertheless am here
grave reason to doubt that state
ment, and to give reasons why you
should doubt IL.
In the first place we are short OF
four battleships projected. The four
ships which ought to have been laid
down this year have been postponed
to next year, and not one penny OF
the budget was allotted toward their
cost. We are dangerously short OF
medium cruisers for scouting pur-
poses and for the protection OF trade
routes. We are short OF suitable
torpedo craft for the North Sea.
We are very deficient OF stores OF
every kind Stores have been con-
MI hntf
are equally deficient in dock ac-
recommendation both for the heavy
ships already anoat and for the new
ships under construction and pro-
jected. We have no war reserve OF
coal. In case OF strike the fleet
Will be immobilized, as It was during
the recent maneuvers.
The personnel Is inadequate in all
branches - seamen, marines and
coast guards. We have not now
enough men properly to furnish
crews for the fleet IL II were called
TO war.
For the increase of the fleet which
Is Inevitable, there is no provision
whatever. A ship may be built in
two years; II takes six years to train
seaman, ten years to train an off,
Ger. a lifetime to train an admiral.
II the ships which are to come into
commission are to be manned older
ships must be thrown away. That
Is exactly what is happening. Very
many valuable ships are being laid
up to rust away. For what? Simp-
ly to save pay and pensions. These
are false economies. 4.
II Is the business OF the navy al
ways to expect an attack and always
to be ready for 1t. The navy cannot
be ready unless 1t is continually un-
ider training at sea. What has our
navy been doing OF late? Review
after review, taking In the British
public for effect.
