MENTAL DETECTIVES
IN WASHINGTON, D. C.

There are 5000 900 persons in the Dis
trlct of Columbia. OF these about 1900
are known to be insane. Recently the
children's bureau of the department OF
labor made search for feeble minded
persons. They found 1893. The opinion
Is general that there are about as many
feeble minded as there are insane in q
community.
Ihe bureau sought information from
all institutions and societies that might
knoW OF defective persons and all social
settlements, pastors, physicians, and
such private individuals as they
thought might know of feeble minded
persons.
While this is the most comprehensive
survey of the detectives in an Amer;-
can community that has been reported
on so far as l know, it is easy to under
stand how 1t found only 500 instead Of
i,4oo. Some surveys now in the MAX
ing or now being planned should fur
nlsh u more accurate figures.
Inc American Association for tho
Study OF Feeble Minded adopted the
following classification of the feeble
minded:
ld1ots-Those SO deeply defective
tina their mental development does not
exceed that Of a normal child of about
2 years.
1mbeciles-Those whose development
IS hlgher than that of an idiot but does
not exceed that Of a normal chisd Of
about Z years.
Morons-Those whose mental devel-
opment is above that of an imbecile
put does not exceed that Of a normal
child Of about IL years.
not very many idiots were
missed IN the Washington survey.
Idiots are so different from other peo.
pie mat the existence Of an idiot in a
nelghborhood is a matter Of common
Information On the other hand, do
are generally harmless. They are as
onaggresslve as a small hill Oc-
tasionally some low down man will
axe advantage of the incapacity for
resistance of an idiotic woman and a
defective child is begotten-about tha
only way in which an idiot can posi-
lively harm society.
IN such a survey some, but not
many, lmbeciles are missed. Imbeciles
are generally marked indiyid1alcs
knoWn to the neighbours. Some were no
doubt missed, and, to make mattars
worse, occasionally an imbecile will he
come a positive enemy to society. I'M
peclles can be trained to do simple
their care. ' -
An inquiry Of the kind made IN
washington would fail to uncover a
lot or morons. A good trained moront
properly directed a more than nav
his way. Unframed, uncontrolled mo-,
Ions are responsible for a large part Of
the crime. q VI

CANADA HAS BIG TELESCOPE
Rejecting Apparatus at Victoria Is
Said to Be the Largest Yet
Constructed.

A se%venty-three inch rejecting tele-
scope, which ranks in size as the
largest telescope of that type yet COM
pleted, has been constructed for the
Dominion Astronomical observatory at
Victoria, Canada. The instrument is
described in Popular Mechanics. The
mirror, which in this type of telescope
takes the place of u lens III concentrate
ing he rays of light, measures %
inches in diameter oven all, is - inches
thick at the edges, and is pierced by
Il hole ten and one-eighth inches in di.
ameter. The silvered upper surface is
Il parabola to bring the reflected light
to a focus, 80 feet above the mirror.
This enormous piece of glass weighs
two and one-quarter tons and yet is so
accurately supported that no tleNure
can distort the surface, which must
nowhere deviate from the theoretical
curve more than Il POOL 900 of an inch.
The instrument weighs 80 tons and
will rest on massive piers of re-en-
forced concrete. The tube is 81 feet
long and weighs II tons. OF unusual
interest from an engineering point of
view are the dome and observing
bridge. The former is 36 feet in di-
ameter and is provided with a double
shutter having an opening 10 feet wide.
All the movements, including revolu-
ton to any desired position as we'll us
the operation Of the shutter, wind
shield and the observing bridge, are
accomplished by means of electric mo,
tors.

CHAPTER xxIv (continued).

Duane returned to the door. He
could see far down the street, out into
the country. There he waited, and
minutes were eternities. He saw no
person near him; he heard no sound.
He was insulated in his unnatural
strain.
At a few minutes before half past 2,
a dark, compact body of horsemen ap-
Feared far down, turning into the road.
They came at a sharp trot-a group
that would have attracted attention
anywhere at any time. They came a
little faster as they entered town; then
faster still; 10Y they were four blocks
away, now three. now two. Duane
backed down the middle of the vesti-
tule, up the steps. and halted in the
center of the wide doorway.
There seemed to be a rushing in his
ears, through which pierced sharp,
ringing clip-clop of iron hoofs. He
could see only the corner of the street.
But suddenly into that shot lean
hmbed, dusty bay horses. There was
a Gathering of nervous hoofs pulled to
a halt.

"Felfs fire." he cried.
Something inside Duane burst, pierre

One instant Poggin looked up and
Duane looked down.
Like a striking jaguar Poggin moved.
Almost as quickly Duane threw his
arm.
The guns doomed almost together.
Duane felt 8 blow just before he
pulled the trigger. His thoughts came
fast, like the strange dots before his
eyes. His rising IL had loosened in
his hand. Poggin had drawn quicker!
A tearing agony encompassed his
breast. He pulled-pulled-at random.

his guns spouting red!
