THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Previously, psychologists have done
various things to the infants to
find out how they respond. They
have observed whether the child
will notice a loud noise, whether he
win blink in a strong light, and so
on. Professor Irwin, however, has
made a record of what the infant
does when he is left all alone Ia
his crib or basket.
AS soon after birth as possible,
the infant was placed under OBJ
seryation. He was put in light cloth
ing that would not hamper move
ment. His bed was arranged on a
special apparatus which recorded
automatically every move the child
made. 1t was in quiet, undis-
turbed place where the experimenter
could watch the infant without dis
turbing him. This observation con-
tinued day and night for the whole
period Of ten days, the only ex-
ceptions being the times Of feeding.
A code had been arranged so the
experimenter could record with a
combination of numbers and figures
the character of every move the
child made from the pursuing of his
lips to the wiggling of his tiny toes.
But much to the surprise Of the
scientists, when the baby got hungry
he moved so vigorously and quickly
that the recorders pencil was left
far behind.

said, maintains continuous body

cessiveness that the experimenter,
even when using specially devised
code, can not keep up with the
infant.
The body squirms, twists, rolls,
and bends. The back arches, the
hips sway, and the head rolls from
side to side or is thrown back. The
arms slash vigorously or are hexed
sharply at ankle, knee and hip.
Hands, feet, toes, and fingers are in
continuous movement. Sucking and
smacking sounds frequently occur,
while loud crying usually is COIN
cident with this mass activity"
Five infants were studied. The
average number Of movements per
minute on the first day was eleven;
on the tenth day it was forty three.
During the periods of all-over ac-
tivity, the movements speeded up to
sixty-six minute for the first day
and 4l8 per minute on the tenth
day.

Speaking of Texas Sulphur Beds

Texas sulphur beds furnish n per cent of the stuff

issues under the Texas legislative dome last winter
and early spring term. Now the Wharton county
commissioners court. sitting as a board Of equalization,
has placed a tax valuation Of SIS, 756, 1906 on the prop
critics Of the Texas Gulf Sulphur company in that
county and a gross valuation Of Sal 10000 was placed
on the Boiling Dome industry. A citizens committee
sought to have a tentative tax valuation Of s32l00000O
made final and the Sulphur company people at
tempted to substantate a rendition Of $l1,300,000
1t is said gross valuation of the property was fig
ured by the commissioners court and one-third Of that
figure taken as valuation for tax purposes. Texas sui
phur product is known the world over. In the COM
pilation Of the gross valuation leases Of the company
were valued at $4,000, 900; improvements at s5,0O0.-

Nj. G. Gains and Losses

A Washington correspondent tells the readers Of his
newspaper that in the congressional apportionment
to be made states east of the Mississippi will lose Is
members and gain eight, a decrease Of seven. States
west Of the river will lose eleven and gain 15, a gain
of seven. He figures it out that this means an ac-
tual gain for the West Of IA votes and that "increas-
ing population will give to the backward states Of the
West and the South much larger influence than that
which Mr.. Grundy recently deplored"
or course the story OF gains and losses is interest
ing but will the gains for the West and the South
serve to open a wider foreign market for the surplus
grains Of the west and the South? Will it bring
about improved financial conditions for the producers
Of meat stuffs and wool and mohair? Manufactur-
ig states are the wealthy states. Agricultural states
are the Grundy backward states. There is a reason
for it. Tariff legislation has been beneficial to the
makers Of things at the expense Of the growers OF
things.
