HEARING AND SEEING.
The Ear and the Eye and the Power ot

The Ear and the Eye and the Power of
 the Brain to Memorize.
 Is the eur more retenuve than the eye? Are we more impressed with whut we hear than with what we see?
 There is familiar legend of Macau- lay reciting good part of Paradise Lost" during voyage to India and of the historians ability to rise from il book and repeat word for word what he had read. There are also records of John Stuart Mills ability to remem- Der the printed word.
 But the balance of evidence seems in favor of the power to memorize that which passes through the ear into the brain.

Tho Rat and the Bulbs.

According to the French naturalist De Parville. a gardener planted one afternoon 25O tulip bulbs on a terrace. and next morning he noticed that the ground had been disturbed and that the bulbs had all been taken away. He was confident that rats had done the work. and. taking a spade. he be gan to dig in the hope of discovering their nest. Soon he unearthed large female rat. which he killed. and after digging q few more minutes he dis covered un underground chamber lined with hay md leaves and connected by a corridor with two hOles which were evidently used as storehouses. for in them he found the 250 tulip bulbs. This was remarkable. but more re markable was the fact that they were neatly arranged in two rows and that not one of them had been gnawed or otherwise injured.

INTERPosED TO SAVE FOOL
Prevented the Confiscation OF

A good story of Belgian espionage
Is attributed to Brand Whitlock, the
American minister to Belgium.
On all the street cars Of Brussels,
so the story runs. the Bruxellois are
very careful to say nothing against
their conquerors, for Brussels swarms
with German spies. as the citizens
know to their cost.
But one day in a street car Bruxel-
lois was imprudent. He nodded to-
ward a wagonload Of pigs that was
driving past, and said to the car in
general, with a laugh:
"It's queer they don't put the Ger
man uniform on those porkers."
The words were hardly out Of his
mouth when a hand was laid on his
shoulder and stern voice said:
81 arrest you. Conductor, stop the
carl"
Captor and captive got of together.
The spy hurried his charge up one
street and down another. and halted
finally before a large cafe.
Fool that you are!" he Kissed.
"Imprudent fool that you are. do you
want to be shot? There were three
German spies to my certain knowledge
on that car. and If l hadn't arrested
you they would have done so. I'm not
a spy myself. | did what | did in

allied Position Can at Times Be
Absent inded.

1t would appear from an incident re-
ported from Vienna that an emperor
is not to be trusted with pencil.
Some time ago, while holding court In
the royal palace overlooking the Dan
ube, Francis Joseph received a Hun
garian blacksmith who desired to
thank his majesty for the decoration
conferred upon him In recognition Of
his having invented an agricultural
machine.
During the audience the blacksmith
drew from. his pocket a photograph Of
the emperor and. handing it to his
majesty, said:
May l ask your majesty for your
autograph
Il cannot give you my autograph at
the present moment" said Francis Jo-
seph, with smile. "for / have neither
pen nor pencil within reach"
81 have brought pencil with me"
said the smith. handing it to the en-
peror.
Francis Joseph thereupon attached
his signature to the photograph and
dismissed the smith with smile and
his customary inclination Of the head.
To the emperors surprise. the smith
did not Tetire.
rs there anything else l can do for

my pencil"
The emperor of Austria-Hungary had
mechanically pocketed it, and he r.-
turned 1t with hearty Ia ugh.
