MINDS MEASURED
WITH A MACHINE.
Test Shows Actors Below the Scale Of
Men of Other Professions.

John Gray, treasurer Of the Royal
Anthropological institute, London, has
devised a mind measuring apparatus,
and among the persons already tested
by him are Lord Avebury, Sir William
Crookes, DR.. Keith, the curator Of the
Museum of the Royal College Of Sur
geons; professors and physicians Of the
West London and Middlesex hospitals,
many of the women Of the Lyceum
club and one actor.
Commenting on the results Of these
tests, he says that, generally speaking,
he found the men, with the exception
of the actor, came under class Of the
scale Of persistence, which includes
men of thorough and profound thought
He found the women OF the Lyceum
club to be more mentally brilliant,
witty and quick of apprehension than
the average. Then Mr.. Gray takes an
other whack at the actor by saying he
came under class 2, which comprises
cynics, persons who do not go into the
depths of things and only learn super
ficially.
The apparatus consists Of a box, the
interior of which is fitted with a re-
volving mirror on which powerful col
ored lights are made to play. The eye
of the person to be tested is placed
against a hole In the side of the box,
the mirror Is set In motion, and the
length of time taken for the sensation
Of pickering to disappear from the sub
