Mistletoe.

Although in many Christian
homes mistletoe is displayed at
Christmas times. it is remarkable
how little is known of this curious
plant. MlStletoe is a parasitic
growth, appearing most frequently
on apple trees. although it is also
found on evergreens and on poplar
hawthorn. pear and oak trees, but
very rarely on the last named. 1t
is an evergreen bush, about four
fee; in height, thickly crowded with
bra lches and leaves. Unlike all
other plants, its leaves extend
down as well as up. The plant
flowers every year, but does not
bear the little whitish berries until
it is four years old.
The mistletoe proper is found in
various parts of Europe, especially
of England and Normandy. In
olden times it was considered a
sacred plant, because its berries
grow in clusters of three emblem
attic of the Trinity. The ancient
Celts used to hang sprigs of mistle-
toe around their necks as a safe
guard from witches.
A prevailing superstition was
that the maid who was not caught
and kissed under the mistletoe at
Christmas would not be married
within the year, so the tradition
goes. According to the old rules,
the kissing was not properly per-
formed unless a berry was pulled
off after each kiss and presented to
the maiden. When all the berries
were gone, the privilege ceased. Elk.

MACHINE PICKS
VOCATION CHILD
IS FITTED FOR
lust Leave Youngster in Room
and Electric Current Does
the Rest.

NEW YORK. June l.-Now there
is an apparatus for determining the
vocational tendency of child DR.
Marian Pritchard Won David, Of Bos-
ton, is preparing to demonstrate 1t to
the board Of education here.
You just put the child IN a room by
himself, with his hands in cups Of
mercury.. and wires from these cups
register his natural aptitude on a
sliding scale from which curve IS
plotted and compared with a normal
curve. It's perfectly simple, Doctor
Won David says. although he admits
that it took him six years to work
out the system,
Here is how Won Davids vocation
detecter works.
The child is seated, at a table with
white screen in front of him and on
each side. HIS hands are in cups OF
mercury. A wire leads from each cup
into another room During the pre-
lininary part Of the examination these
wires are connected with a resistance
box, and to graduated scale. This
is to determine the. electrical resist
ance OF the particular child
The resistance OF the box is Known.
and usually is set at 200 ohms. The
resistance Of the child viii vary from
j 800 to 900, and is measured, by
Siding a cOHtaCIsDlOck d10uS lAe scare
until telephone receivers at each end
Of the scale indicate to the trained
operator that. the resistance point
of the child.s body has been reached
With the resistance OF the child
known, the flow OF current through
the wires from the mercury cups IS
changed so that it passes through
two coils of Wire. one sliding oyersthe
other. and from these to another
scale. very finely graduated A sus-
cestive word is set before the child,
for instance. the word shop" often
IS used.
There is normal reading on this
scale that has been worked out care
fully by Doctor Won David IN two
years OF special study. The childs
emotions are read by the operator and
compared to the form.
At the conclusion OF the test the
chiId.s curve is plotted by the scien-
list. showing to which vocation his
entire system responded with great
est emotion. That is the vocation
which the child should pursue, Doc
tor Won David,s theory. IS correct.
