HEARING AND SEEING.
The Ear and the Eye and the Power Of
the Brain TO Memorize.

Lost" during "A voyage to India and Of
the historians ability to rise from "a
book and repeat word for word what

John Stuart Mills ability to remem-
ber the printed word.
But the balance Of evidence seems
In favor Of the power to memorize that

In the latter part Of the eighteenth
century, could attend a debate and re-
port 1t exactly without notes, a pure
feat Of aural memory. Toscanini can
conduct a number Of difficult operas

It Is n question for the psychologist.
The popular verdict probably would be
In favor Of the prowess OF the ear

Limited Perpetual Motion.

Ambrose Fletcher solved the great
problem of perpetual motion the other
day, after laboring upon 1t for many
years. 1t is in the shape OF a ball
which swings back and forth regularly
and tirelessly, being propelled by sort
Of clockwork mechanism. There Is
only one drawback to this solution of
the old problem. He has to wind the
machinery every eight days. There is
always something wrong, isn't there?
AS soon as Ambrose gets 1t so it will
run without winding he win have the
problem definitely solved. - Brooklyn
