SPEED OF THOUGHT.

AS quick as thought" ID an ex

acme Of speed in action, but, like &c
many popular expressions, this one IL
misleading. Thought, or at least tha
mental registering Of sensation, 10
not an exceedingly speedy process
the thought impulse moving at the
comparatively slow speed of ITO feet
a second, or rs miles an hour. Sound
travels nearly ten times as fast and
light, nearly nine million times a.
swiftly. Thought would be hopelessly
beaten in race with a motor car, OF
even flying machine operating under
favorable conditions.
Perhaps a good illustration of the
comparative slownesS OF thought
waves is to assume that a man hat
an arm 75 miles long and that, wher
he was not looking q friend should
grasp his hand. Before the owner OF
the long arm became conscious that
his hand had been touched the friend
would have released it and had time
to walk four miles or eat very ex:
tensive dinner.
