When writing one Of his earlier nov

trip to Florence In order to verify GER
tain illusions and locations. One Of
the first, pilgrimages was to San Do
menico to find the ancient inscription
upon the wall. which Helen Armstrong
points out to her husband In the first
chapter. Says the author, Il had never
been able to discover where I obtained
this data. SO was particularly anxious
to verify 1t. One morning accompanied
by Mrs. circuit. set out on what seem

SOME REALLY GRAND OLD MEN

SO by q citizen OF New Brunswick
aged 1872. and q comparative youngster

Germans Slot Literature,

Penny in the slot literature Is the
latest thing in Germany. A firm Of
publishers at Leipzig has patented an
automatic machine which gives a
choice OF a dozen small paper covered
volumes which are displayed behind

each volume is printed brief descrip-
ton of the book. and coin In the slot
does the rest. These automatic ma
chimes are to be placed In hotel lob.
bies. waiting rooms. theater foyers and
other public places. The hope Is ex.
pressed that as the books offered are
carefully selected and by first-class au-
thors the venture may have a benefi.
cial educative effect upon the masses
and thus counterfeit the influence of
the cheap and trashy literature with
which the country Is fooded.-Ex.

DIVIDED INTO TWO CLASSES
Differing Processes Of the Mind May
Be classed Either a. the -vis-
ual" or the "Auditlve.=

The great majority Of people can be
classified in one or other of two pey-
Geological types. corresponding TO the
great senses of sight and hearing.
These classes sometimes are called
the "visuals" and the "auditives" re-
spectively. The 'visuals" or visualiE-
ers seem to conduct the majority of
their mental processes by visual sym
bolism. They think In pictures:
their mental method is graphic. The
majority OF women belong to this
group. and. OF course. the majority Of
painters. sculptors. architects, deco
rators, engineers and mechanically
gifted people Such people readily ap-
prehend space relations. and can con-
ceive new or IS. II they possess this
power In high degree they may paint
fine pictures. build new types Of archi-
lecture, conceive new machines.
The auditives, on the other hand.
think more In sounds and words and
not in pictures. They naturally in
clude the musicians. the men OF let
tiers and the scientific and philosophic
among men than among women. They
notice things around them less, and
are more commonly credited with be-
ing "absent-minded."
If great development Of either 10
rare, vastly rarer Is great develop
ment of both in one and the same In.
dividual. Such individuals stand out
as the few supreme examples OF what
we call versatility, and OF these the
most notable representative in the his
tory OF the world is Leonardo da Vinci.

ruler has in his infinite wisdom re-
moved from among us our Brother,
Raymond E. Smith, and, whereas,
the long and intimate relation held
with him in the faithful discharge of
his duties in Sub Court Island Pond,

tributions will be held in grateful
remembrance.
Resolved: that with deep sympathy

A MARVEL OF STEALTH.
This Herd of Elephants Were Appar.
 entIy Shod With Silence.

Innocently meandcring through an African forest, Mir. E. II. Bron- son and his hunting companion, neither of whom had seen wild elephants, much less hunted them, found themselves in the middle of a feeding herd, but hidden from the unwieldly animals by the under brush. "In Closed Territory" the author describes the experience:
 It proved to be our day to learn lot about the elephants whims and what he can do when he likes. Of course the creek lay be- tween us, which might seem pro- lection, but i1 was not. They all whirled and tFiundered away from us. But scarcely had we gone q hundred feet before the whole herd came plunging back upon their tracks at the same mad pace.
 They stopped stock still ten yards from us, as we afterward proved, but they were hidden from us as before. This time they were punched in a half circle about us. For probably ten minutes there was utter silence; then they started feeding and amusing themselves as before. This continued for per haps fifteen minutes, when all sound ceased again, and the wood was as still as if they had all drop ped dead.
 And there we sat for the larger part of an hour, wondering how long an afternoon siesta well regu- lated elephant families usually take. We were in constant expectation of renewed movement by some of the herd. We could have sworn that they were still within the toss of a biscuit.
 But when presently a slight stir among the leaves directly before Outram made us throw up our rifles out stepped Akuna, who had raced out of our sight at the first stam- pede. He brought the incredible intelligence that the elephants were gone out of the bush and were dis appearing off toward the north.
 Magic! No prestidigitator could touch this vanishing act of tons and tons of ambulant weight done under our very noses in a country where we pygmies could hardly stir with out causing racket. And yet 1t proved to be true. They were all gone, by what miracle of stealth l doubt if the oldest elephant hunter could tell.

Soap and a Kinu,

Soap used to provide King James I. with a comfortable addition to his income. That canny monarch granted the company of soapmakers of Westminster the monopoly for the making of soap in England in return for the payment of $50 a ton on all soap produced. The im- portaton of soap was forbidden, and officers were appointed to deal with illicit soap boiling, its manufacture even in private houses for domestic purposes being punishable by heavy penalties. Moreover, proclama- ton was issued that "the soap made by the company is good, sweet and serviceable for our people" The annual revenue derived by the king from this source amounted to about $150,000.

REVERSING THE ENGINE.
Something That is Never Done After
 Applying the Brakes.

There are some popular technical fallacies so strongly intrenched in public belief that they survive in spite of reiterated contradiction. Among these is the belief that the first thing a locomotive engineer does, or one of the first, when he sees that collision is inevitable, is to apply the brakes and reverse his engine.
 As a matter of fact, we doubt if one in 10000 of the locomotive engineers of this country would be guilty of the absurdity of reversing his engine and applying his brakes at the same tipe. There was day in the earlier history of railroading when an engineer would have been considered remiss in his duties if he did not in an emergency reverse his engine, but with the growth of technical knowl ledge it has come to be understood that to reverse the engine after applying the brakes is to defeat the very object for which the train brakes were applied.
 In justice to the early locomotive engineers, however, it should be re- membered that only the tender of the locomotive carried the brakes, not the engine itself, and under those conditions the reversing of the engine applied an additional, though comparatively small, retard- ing effect, supplemental to that af- forded by the tender brakes.
 The folly of reversing when there are brakes on the engine and these brakes are set is evident if we re- member that when the engine IS running with the brakes applied the retarding effect is due to the large aggregate area of contact between the brake shoes and the tread of the wheels, whereas when the engine is reversed the frictional area of the brake shoes is replaced by the very small area of the sliding surfaces in contact between the tread of the wheels and the rails, with the result that there is an immediate large re- duction of the retarding effect of the engine on the train behind 1t

\ FREED RECORD.
Original Muster Roll of "Captain A.
 Lincoln's Company"

None of the records of the treas ury department is more highly prized than the original muster roll of Captain A. Lincoln's company in the handwriting of that famous man himself. It was voluntary company organized by Lincoln ih 1889 to serve in the Black Hawk war. Lincoln as an army officer was the same painstaking, careful and orderly man that he was later as president. He kept the muster rolls of his company himself, and nowhere can a heater and more complete account be found.
 Although more than eighty years old now, the roll is wonderfully we'll preserved. The paper is of poor quality, but the handwriting is still legible and distinct, not a single error having been made in the copy. The record has been bound together along the edges, and where it has been folded con- stant handling has done consider able damage to it.
 The interesting document is headed: "Muster Roll of Captain A. Lincoln's Company of the Fourth Regiment of Mounted Vol unteers, Commanded by Brigadier General Samuel Whitesides. Mus tered out of service of the United States at the mouth of Fox river May the 27th, 1882"
 The roll shows that Abraham Lincoln was the captain and that he was enrolled with the rest of the command on April 21 at Riclsand, Sangamon country, III. At the foot is Lincoln's certificate as to the correctness of the muster roll at the time of muster out. The only other handwriting on the document is that of Nathaniel Buckmaster, in- spector and muster officer, certify ing to the accuracy of the roll of Lincoln's company.
