THE GIFT
OF TONGUES.

What subject is more absorbing to
all humanity than the story OF human
gifts?
remember, as boy, how | lis
tened with open-eyed wonder to the
story of that wonderful man-Car-
dinal Mezzofanti.
Cardinal Merchant had a gift
the gift of tongues. he spoke and
wrote fifty languages.
Once, when necessity drove him TO
the task, he learned new and strange
language perfectly in three weeks.
Lord Byron, who met him and mar
veled at him, called him the human
Briareus, the one mind with a hun
dred heads"
Ii is said that when Cardinal Mez-
zofanti started to learn a new Ian
guage his mind worked with the
method and precision of a machine.
That's just the point-of a ma
chine!
His mind was wonderful human
machine-with every part perfectly
adjusted to his task.
Why is it that a man gains efficiency
rs he approaches the standard of the
machine? Why, in the performance
of any task within its province, is
the machine greater than the man?
There is a machine to-day with the
gift of tongues greater gift of
tongues than the gift of Cardinal
Merchant.
Cardinal Merchant wrote fifty
languages.
The Remington Typewriter to-day
writes eighty-four languages. 1t j,
used daily in the writing of these Ian
guages in every part of the world.
And it is adding constantly to their
number. Its facility in the express
sion of thought is far greater and
more varied than that of any one man
who ever lived.
| know what my reader will say.
He will say that writing is mechani-
cal; that thinking only is human; and
where is the machine that thinks!
Just a word here.
A machine cannot think as a man
does, but it can do more. 1t can do
what man can do only by thinking
and can do ii better.
There is such a writing machine to-
day; machine that not only writes,
but thinks = the Remington Adding
and Subtracting Typewriter.
And it proves in its work, that the
machine, in its own way, is greater
than the man.
Like the man, it writes and adds
and more, for it writes and adds
simultaneously, whereas one thing at
a time is all that the average brain
can do.
Again, it automatically detects
errors OF operation. No man ever had
a brain that would do that-auto-
matically.
Yes, the Remington Typewriter has
the gift of tongues-and more. Ii
has the gift of thought--and more;
for its method of thought is an i'm
provement on human thought. IL
can think two things together; and
by making thought mechanical it
makes thought certain. The Reming-
ton Adding and Subtracting Type
writer has no erroneous or unclear
thoughts.
The gift of tongues and the gift
Of thought-both are within the pro-
vince of the present-day writing ma
shine.
