STORING WORDS IN MEMORY
What May Be Described as Mental Photography Is Especially VaIu-
 allie to Theatrical People.

The photographic memory is found most frequently in actors and ac- tresses, who have to study a variety of parts in very short time.. After a time, these people form habit of getting a mental photograph of the words. They look at the page, read the lines, and then, shutting their eyes, endeavor to "see" the words. It Is a habit which, once formed, is quickly developed. The present writer once "crammed" part of forty-five pages in single day by the aid of this natural photography.
 It may be said at once that not everybody can acquire this species of memory. Only those possessed of great powers of concentration can achieve the results described. But, providing that a person has anything of this gift he can build upon 1t until 1t will serve him to an almost unlim- ited degree.
 The photographic memory usually finds its best development among peo- pie with what are called 'bumpy" foreheads. They have unusual DOW CTS of visual concentration.-Ex- change.

Whence Electric Lamns Come.

A little consideration of the ma terials that enter into the making of lamps would be a revelation to the large majority of electric lamp users. California, Colorado, Nevada and South Dakota lead in the production of tungsten ore, the important materi al of which the filament of the mod ern electric lamp is made.
 FiTst, there Is the filament of tung- sten, then the glass bulb into which enter silica, soda, nitre from Chile, potash, manganese from Russia, ar senic, borax, feldspar, lead, aluminium, cryolite from Greenland, cobalt from Canada. The base of the lamp is made of copper and zinc from Utah and Missouri, while the passing cement Is a mixture of marble dust from Vermont, whiting from Ohio, shellac from India and pine resin from Georgia.

Two Atomic Theories.

"~ An atom Is part so small as not to be divfsible. It is an ultimate par ticie Of matter. Two opinions, direct ily opposite to each other, have long had currency with regard to the con- stituent particles of material things the one, that matter Is composed. of an assemblage of minute particles, or atoms, incapable of further division {; the other, that there is no limit to its divisibility, the smallest conceiv- able particle still consisting of an infnity of parts. The first of these theories, which is commonly dist1n- guished by the name of atomic phil- osophy, was originated in Greece by Leucippus,; it was supported by Dem ocritus and subsequently, improved by Epicurus and his disciples. The Epi- cureans professed to account for the origin and formation of all things by supposing that these atoms were en- dued with gravity and motion, and thus came together into the different organized bodies.

Wonderful Is Human Skin.

The human skin, which forms a protective covering over the whole
 of the body, consists of two layers, an outer one and an inner one. The epidermis, or outer skin, is so con- structed that no moisture from out side can penetrate it so long as the skin itself is not torn or cut. At the same time the pores of the skin are so formed that the sweat is freely discharged through the skin, thus ven tilating the body and keeping it at an even temperature. If someone could invent a material possessing
 the properties of the human skin, material which would keep out all moisture, however heavy the down pour, of rain, and yet allow the free escape df the heat and moisture of the body, his fortune would be made.

BILLS HANDICAP TOO HEAVY
of Course Hs Couldn't Play Golf With , Such an Opponent and Such 7,
 a Gallery.

Bill is a Presbyterian by marriage. Those of us who have heard him play golf would never have guessed that he had any such church connection what ever. His. language when he misses a shot (and he misses quite number of times during an afternoon) Is what might be termed of the explosive and highly irreverent variety. E.. Bill appeared at the club the other afternoon with friend whom he intro duced as Rev. MT. Sanderson-accent- ing the Reverend as though he were afraid we were going to miss it and treat him as one of his ordinary com panions. Personally, it isn't necessary to tip us off in advance that the stranger is minister.
 But Bill seemed to be afraid of us, although not quite so afraid as we were of him.
 'You and the minister going to play togetherT" we asked.
 "Yep," said he "Join us?"
 "You bet" said we. eff you and minister can go IS holes and you 1 don't explode we want to see it."
 Bill began gamely. His drive was full of slice and his iron shots were mostly all turf, and he put on a stage grin that was marvellous to behold. Toward the middle of the afternoon he tried whistling, switching to hum- ming, tackled silence and reverted to plain grinntng.
 He dubbed a shot on the twelfth hole and said Good night" .....
 ''That isn't what you said when you dubbed one here last Saturday." one of us remarked. '.. -. He missed a putt for a win on the fourteenth and whistled ...t-:
 First time we ever heard you whis- tie after missing one" we casually re- marked.
 On the sixteenth he went to pieces altogether. But he was game. He made no apologies.
 "That shot you just made used to be good for quite a string" we sug- gested.
 Say" he finally shrieked, ''how could anybody play golf with a couple 1 of birds like you pecking at him all day long? You haven't given me, minutes peace since the parson and I began this game"
 "Peace?" we exclaimed. "Is 1t neace you want? You look to us like a man who wants tC start a iot."-Detroit Free Press.

BROKE HEART OF SCIENTIST
Learned Man, Victim of ThoughtIess Practical Joke, Proved Unable ?.
 to Live lt Down.

What is believed to be the great est hoax in the history of science was played over a century ago by students of Prof Bartholomaeus Adam Berin- ger holder of the chair of natural philosophy at the University of Wurz- berg. He was keenly interested in fossil remains, and was the leader i'm the great group that held them to be a sort of divine joke, placed in the earth by God to test human faith
 Students designed score or more of fossils from clay representing the most absurd beasts their imaginationa could conceive, and hid them in tho ground in a spot where the old paleon- tologist was known to frequently dig He discovered them and accepted them as real, and when little later the stu dents hid other designs, showing glars and suns and even inscriptions in Hebrew, Syrian and Babylonian. the old man was delighted and was sure he had proven his grounds. He began a book of immense size, and written in Latin, in which he gravely set forth his proofs of the divine origin. The shout of laughter that went up when the book was issued broke the old mans heart, and he died after spending every cent he had fin an effort to recall the book. What made the joke more serious was the faith with which many learned men accepted the thing at first, Berlnger's reputation up to this time being high in the world of science.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

Arrangements for entertaining thousands of delegates to the third annual convention of the American Legion, which will be held October 31, November l and 2 of this year in Kansas City, Mo-, are being made by Legion posts of that city and state. Marshall Foch is among the distinguished guests expected by Le- gionnaires. The corner stone for Kansas Cfty's $2,000,000 Liberty Memorial Building to four hundred men of that city who gave their lives during the war will be laid during the convention.
 In harmony with the policy adopt ed by the American Legion at its last national convention "for imme- diate confirmation and legalization of the policy that foreign born Jap anese shall be forever barred from American citizenship" the legisla- tive committee of the Legion's Ne braska department is supporting the passage of an alien land bill in the state legislature. It is said that Le- zion members in other western states will push similar legislation.

The Sadducees.

Sadducees and Pharisees were the names of two powerful but antagonis- tic parties in the Jewish church, and in Jewish society at the time of Our Lords earthly ministry. They diff fered radically respecting what may be called politics, and respecting cer- tain religious beliefs. The Pharisees were the national party, adhering with all possible strictness to Jewish tra- ditions, and labored necessarily to keep alive the national spirit, although their country was a conquered part of the Roman empire. In politics the Sadducees were trimmers, adjusting their practices to prevailing conditions. They were the priestly-aristocratfc party, who allied themselves always with the ruling power, even when that power was anti-national in its aims. Tn Our Lords time the name indi- cated differences which were religious as well as political. The Sadducees may broadly be described as ration alists, the Pharisees as ritualists. The radical difference as regards faith that is brought out clearly in the Gospels, is this: The Pharisees believed in the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead; the Sadducees did not.

The actual inventor of pedals to propel the front wheels of a bicycle was M Michaux, of Paris, who in- vented the bicycle proper in 1866, IS years after MT. Plowright was born. It was imported into England in 1868, and 1t was apparently this bicycle that Mr. Plowright copied. James.
