The Mexican who has just died at

SO by a citizen Of New Brunswick
aged 1872, and a comparative youngster
of Valley Mills, Tex, whose age was

Interesting Search.

William Dana circuit, whose new
novel, The Moth" has just been pub
llshed by the Harpers, is noted for his
extreme diligence in verifying all his.
torical facts that appear in his novels.
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 obtained
this data, so was particularly anxious
TO verify it. One morning, accompanied
by Mrs. circuit, set out on what seem
ed a hopeless quest We located the
old Etruscan wall, with its curious
marks, but no legends Finally we
came to some fiaring posters announ-
cling an auction sale, and beneath
these, when pulled aside, we found
the Latin words, cut deep in the

DIVIDED INTO TWO CLASSES
Differing Processes of the Mind May
Be classed Either az the "vis-
ual" or the "Auditive."

The great majority of people can be
classified in one or other of two psy-
Geological types, corresponding 10 the
great senses of sight and hearing.
These classes sometimes are called
the "yisuals" and the "auditives" re-
spectively. The "visualss or visualiz-
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
line 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
ters 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 is
rare, vastly rarer is great develop
ment of both in one and the same in
divldual. 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.

plane with the forces Of the enemy
They could pass his lines only by
stealth. and this was difficult and
dangerous thing to do. They were
obliged to make wide detours to dis
cover, If possible, what was going on
toward the rear. and, while one man
would have served to carry the in
formation. it was necessary to send
cavalrymen In large numbers togeth-
er in order that they might defend
each other
With the aeroplane all this has been
changed and simplified A single ma
chine mounts, bearing possibly two
men, flies swiftly across the enemy's
lines and as far as desired into the
territory controlled by him: the scout
observes what is being done, what
preparations are being made, in what
direction large bodies of men are
moving, where the guns are being
mounted, returns and reports. The
flight can be made so high that there
is little danger Of gun fire, and about
the only thing to be feared, aside
from mechanical accident, is attack
from one of the enemy's planes, and
from that there is a good chance Of
escape
General French observes that while
there have been some flights in the
air. and a few bombs have been drop
ped into the enemys works, the activ-
tiles of the flying men have been con-
fined chiefly to scouting. The long
predicted battles in the air." with
great fleets of flying machines attack
ing each other, has not yet come to
pass. There have been few thrill
ing duels, but that Is all. The busi-
ness of a scout in search of inforna-
ton is to get his information as
quickly as he can, and not to get into
fight if he can help it. And. having
got this information 1t is supremely
necessary that he shall make all pos
sible haste back with it. And scout
ing rather than fighting is the busi-
ness of the air man under present
conditions

A TALKATIVE DIPLOMAT.

A man may conceal a vast amount
of ignorance and unfitness by keeping
his mouth shut, and even for the wise
man it is safer to talk too little than
too much. Sir Lionel Garden talks
too much.
Sir Lionel is the British ambassador
to Brazil. A few months ago he was
the British ambassador to Mexico.
While stationed in the City of Mexico
he had the very poor taste to COM
ment unfavorably on the policy of the
United States with reference to Mexi-
CO. and to intimate that Uncle Sam,
or his official representatives, did not
know their business. 1t was denied
that he expressed himself in exactly
the manner reported, but it appears
to be certain that he had discussed
the policy of a country with which
he had nothing to do in a manner en-
tirely out of place under the circum-
stances For this he was recalled and
transferred to Brazil
Sir Lionel is again reported to have
been talking. A New York news
agency reports him as deploring the
withdrawal of American troops from
Mexico, and to have said that this was
merely turning over the Americans
and other foreigners in Mexico to be
the victims of the anarchy which he
says still prevails all over Mexico. He
said further, according to the report,
that while Huerta had at least a sort
of government, Carranza has none.
Assuming that Sir Lionel actually
said what he is reported to have said,
the most charitable construction that
can be placed on his speech is that he
is suffering from a mental malady
Possibly he may have dined, not wise
ly, but too we'll American diplomats
are. as rule, men without previous
experience, who have been given i'm
rortant positions in reward for politi-
cal activity. Some of them say some
fearful and wonderful things. Not
many of them have ever been guilty
OF such asininity as this English
knight who, presumably, has been
trained for years in the school of dip
lomacy
