publican senate and the Democratic
house as to whether our navy shall be
maintained or shall he permitted to
fall back to a level with the weaker
and unconsidered countries of the
world. What is the will Of the Ameri-
can people on that question?
The Panama Canal.
The construction of the Panama
canal has been pressed forward with
renewed evidences under the concen-
trated observation Of all the civilized
world, that America possesses con
struCtive genius, organizing power and
habits Of honest administration equal
to the greatest undertakings. 1t is
manifest now that the work Will be
done In advance of the time fixed and
within the cost estimated, and that
during the coming year it Will be sub
stantially completed.
With this record of consistent policy
and faithful service the Republican
party can rest with confidence on its
title to command the approval of the
American people. We have a right to
ga. that we can be tru='nl 30 preserve

the officers of the national government
subscribe the solemn oath required of
them by law, That | will support
and defend the Constitution Of the
United States against all enemies, for
eign and domestic, that will bear true
faith and allegiance to the same"
Divine Principle of Justice.
With all u pride in our vast ma
terial prosperity in our successful in
stitutions and our advance in civil
cation, we would not be boastful and
vainglorious, for we come of godfear-
ing people, and we have learned the
truth taught by religion that all men
are prone to error, are subject to tenn
tation, are led astrny by impulse. We
know that this is as true in govern
ment as ii Is In private life, for the
freedom that some OF our fathers
sought was freedom of conscience from
the control of majorities, and our party
was born In protest against the extern
sion of a system of human slavery APP
proved and maintained by maJoritieS.
We know that there Is no safe curse
In the life of men or of nations except
to establish and to follow declared
principles Of conduct. There Is a di-
vine principle Of justice which men
cannot make or unmake, which is
above all governments, above all legis-
Natures, above all majorities. The
American people have set up this
eternal law Of justice as the guide for
their national action. They have form
ulated and expressed it in practical
rules of conduct established by them
impersonally. abstractly, when no in
terest or impulse or specific desire was
present to sway their judgment. Upon
submission and conformity to these
rules of justice depends our existence
as a nation.

Invention of John Gray
Computes Brain Power.

One of the most surprising de-
velopments of this age of machin-
cry is the invention of great va
riety of delicate mechanisms which
are capable of reading secrets that
escape the closest observation by
ordinary means Take, for in
stance, recent invention of John
Gray. the treasurer Of the Royal
Anthropological institute in Eng
land. BY its means he claims that
he can discover the relative brain
power of a human being. At least
he can find out how quickly the
brain acts-and quickness of ac-
ton is becoming more and more i'm
portant in this age of hurry.
The apparatus, to whose tests
such men as Lord Avebury and
Sir William Crookes are said to
have submitted themselves is sim
ply a box containing q revolving
mirror. AS the mirror turns it
throws out, in rapid succession,
two beams of light of contrasted
colors The rapidity with which
one color follows the other is meas
ured by means of an indicator that
shows the speed of the mirrors
revolution AS the speed increases
THE. colors begin to blend. First
there is a flicker and then COM
plete blending. in which both col
ors disappear, giving rise to a
steady flow of another color made
UP Of the mixture OF the two. The
test consists in seeing how rapidly
the mirror can be turned without
causing a complete blending of the
colors, A quick acting brain CON
tinues TO perceive the separate
flashes Of color after thew have be-
come indistinguishably blended to

more Siuset-h IN Us action. Aston

ishing differences are said to be re-
vealed in this manner. and any one
can see that such test might have
valuable results in many ways.
Since the invention of scientific
tests of color blindness, color
blind persons no longer find en-
ployment in occupations where
light signals are employed. 1t may
be that test of quickness of per-
ception will prove equally impor-
tant in similar cases.

II OOK at yourself in a mirror
and you will be facing the
greatest mystery that you can
fnd-unless another person hap
pens to look over your shoulder
and projects his image beside yours.
You CAN see a little way into
your own nature if you study your
self with great diligence. but the
eyes of your fellow men are like
the windows of house that is all
dark within.
1t is a wonder that no pessi-
mistic philosopher has ever defined
man as the ANIMAL THAT LIES.
1t is true that the cunning of the
fox is kind of lying. but the fox's
receptions are perfectly transpar-
ent to his own kind while mans
are often impenetrable even to him
self
We are such great mysteries to
ourselves that frequently we try to
get our fellow men to find the key
to our own characters. Does a fox
ever go to another fox to learn
what he is best fitted to do in
life? Well. men sometimes go to
phrenologists and soothsayers to
find out what THEY were born to
do in the world. No self observ-
ant person is likely to do that. ex-
cept out of mere curiosity. but self
observant persons are compare
lively rare.
How does the character reader"
proceed? BY observing little
things. slight indications which es
cape the majority of men. It is not
the bumps on your head which re-
veal your character, but the look of
your eyes. the lines of your face,
your unconscious manner and bear
ing. Mans nervous system is so
highly developed and so active that
it writes its secrets all over him,
but it requires a great deal of eXpe-
rience and power of observation
to decipher them.

Testing Human Qualities
Like Testing Engine.

The modern tendency to test hui
man qualities by mechanical means
is continually growing. 1t is some
what like testing an engine. It not
only aids in the selection of the
proper persons to do certain kinds
of work, but it is of use to the sur
geon and the doctor in dealing
with disease, and with the results
of accident
One kind of instrument produces
photographs of heart beats, by the
careful inspection of which doc
tor can sometimes detect the ex-
istence of lurking and dangerous
disease, which could not be discov-
cred by ordinary means.
In London, as 1 have read. they
have an instrument of this kind
which can be used to test the beat
ing of a patients heart a hundred
miles or more away from the doc
tors office. The indications, mag
nified by a mega phonic attachment.
are transmitted by telephone. This
was recently tried with success be-
tween a patient in the Isle of Wight
and physician in London.
We are getting a little deeper
into the springs of human nature
when we deal with the Munster
berg machine for testing the emo
tons. This apparatus consists Of
three machines combined-an an
tomatograph, to detect involuntary
movements of the arm; a pneu-
mograph, to record Irregularities Of
breathing, and a sphygmograph. to
take the pulse beats. 1t is said that
a man can not prevaricate without
detection when one of these tell
tale machines is attached to him.
and he can not conceal his emo
tions, however well he may govern
his features. One can imagine
such an instrument applied to a
witness in the chair, with its in
dieations made visible to the jury
while he tells his story! It would
be fine deterrent against per-
jury.
