The recent discovery near Yeovil of an
ancient British gold torque and the con-
sequent inquiry by the coroner and his
jury as to the manner and nature of the

Seeing and Thinking.

Most people see an object when they
think Of 1t. They can see before their
eyes a geometrical drawing or the fig.
ures on e chessboard when they think
OF them. In order to think at ali most
men make use of images, though they
may be of different kinds. Thus, one
man when he thinks OF Italy" sees
just the printed word; another see the
cOnntry's outline on a map; another
may see the country spread out before
him, with its villages and towns
smouldering in the plains. Psycholo.
gists are beginning to classify the diff.
ferent aids or images Of which men
make use. Some, for example. hear
the words OF their thought within
themselves; others read them, as if
the words were written generally In
black on a white ground.

granted to the Traction company
provision that they may

consent of the city council. 1t is
