Professor McKeever went to some
trouble in his experiment, which was
arranged in imitation of an actual
crime. He drilled three Of his stu
dents tc perform a hold up and
the little drama was enacted upon a
stage in front of the class. A subse-
quent examination of the audience
disclosed the fact that it was at SKIES
and sevens as to what had actually
happened. The students were unable
to agree as to which Of the robbers
had carried a revolver or worn a rain
coat, and all the other facts were SIM
ilarly obscure. Any n of the wit
nesses could have given an account
of what he believed he had seen, n
no doubt by itself It would have
passed as good evidence, but unfor-,
tunately the student who sat next to
him believed himself to have seen
something quite different. :
Professor M%unsterberg recently car
ried out a whole series of expert
ments directed toward the same end,
and the result was even more remark
able. He used for the purpose a
large class Of students whose powers
of correct observation ought to be
above rather than below the average.
He tested them in a great many ways
requiring them to estimate the nun,
Der of colored spots upon a sheet OF
white paper, the numbered persons in
a room, and the length of a pendu-
lum stroke. The results showed not
only an extraordinary incapacity TO
observe correctly, but a still more eX-
traordinary difference in the kind OF
incapacity, inasmuch as the estimate
of n student would be ludicrously
too high, while that of the man next
to him would be l~udicrously too low.
It is evident that we must revise
our opinion as to the value of eye
witness evidence. Its value seems to

Spiritual Cripples.

Looking abroad among Christians,
how many evidences do We meet with
of general shortcomings? Some seem
without arms; thsy new help anytns

without feet; they never go an inch
out of their way to serve others. Some
seem voiceless, they never, even oya
word, encourage anyone who is cast
down. Some seem deaf: they never
listen to the voice of suffering. Some

Camels in South Australia.

Camels are used by pastoralists
and others in central Australia for
carting wool and stores. These are
worked by English as we'll as AT

The camels are bred in South Aus
tralia; those locally reared are better
weight carriers than those imported;
they are lower set, better boned, and
we'll footed. They thrive on the
grasses and bushes Of the country, on
which they can be worked for many
years.-London Globe.

HOW AN AEROPLANE WORKS.,

q Simple Explanation OF Flight in On-
technical Terms For the
Average Man.

The aeroplane of Glenn H. Curtiss,
in which he made his Albany-NeW
York flight. is the one from which the
accompanying diagrams are drawn.
The Curtiss machine is held to have
proved itself, by the recent fight, the
most advanced type of ~aeroplane yet
devised in America, possibly in the
world.
The Curtiss aeroplane is shown in
ground plan in Figure l. The aero
plane flies in the direction indicated
by the arrows. A is the altitude rud-
der, perched out at the end of a bam-
boo framework, in front of the driver.

Must Kneel to See Glory.

It is said that there is a bust OF our
Lord in a Roman Catholic chapel on
the Continent, before which a stool is
placed, that the beholder may kneel
and look. To the one who is standing
IN the bust has no beauty. 1t is es-
sential to kneel in order to see the
glory and beauty of the countenance.
So, as long as we stand in self-satis-

There was something striking about
that prayer. The majority of people,

than their own. But the real Chris
