om Mental Operations.
Psychologists may find an interesting
field for investigation jin the Intellec
tual processes that arenvolved In rap
Id shorthand writing. There are at
least five distinct mental operations
carried on continuously during verba
tim reporting. Flwt, there Is the sensa
tion of sound received by the ear; sec
ondly, there Is the perception by the
brain of the word uttered, practically
simultaneous with the sensation in the
case of a distinct speaker, but often
delayed a large fraction of a second
when a preacher "drops His voice" or
a witness in court has a foreign accent
In the third place, the stenographer
must analyze the consonantal gructure
of all the less common words In the
sentence, all except the stock words
and phrases, which he writes by word
ilgns by a practically automatic habit.
Fourth, these relatively uncommon
words must be put on paper according
to the principles of the system employ
ed. This one operation Involves many
subordinate and Infinitely swift efforts
of recollection, association and decision.
Fifth, all these mental operations are
carried on while the pen or pencil is
from two or three words to an entire
sentence behind the speaker this, of
course, in. rapid speaking thereby com
plicating the situation by compelling
memory to keep pace with attention.
In other words, while the scribe is
writing the predicate of one sentence
and analyzing an unfamiliar word in
the subject of the next, he Is at the
some time giving his auditory attention
to the predicate of the second sentence
then being uttered by the speaker.
This Is Impossible to an untrained mind.
The avernje educated person cannot re
tain more than perhaps six or eight
words of the exact phraseology of a
speaker st one time. The competent
stenographer can hold up ten, fifteen,
twenty words or even more in his mem
ory, while at the same time taxing his
mind by the act of writing the words
that preceded. The World Today.
Long Winded.
There have been many terms of re
proach and ridicule applied to inter
minable and wearisome talkers, but
here are two that seem to be particu
larly pat:
One la the comment of a politician on
a Washington orator, "He has a good
train of thought, but It lacks terminal
facilities."
The other comes from the village hu
morist, whe said of the village orator,
"He's the only feller I ever knew who
could set his face talkln' an' then go
off an' leave it"
Japanese Pottery.
Everybody who knows anything at
all about Japanese pottery knows that
there Is such a thing as Satsumo ware.
Beyond the fact that it is yellowish in
tone and always crackled knowledge
In most cases does not go, however.
The name of the pottery is taken from
the clay which comes from the prov
ince of Satsuma and Is the only clay
In Japan, possibly in the world, which

"Larry," said a merchant to a sturdy
Irishman in his employ, "are you sav
ing any of your money?"
"Indade I am, sor," replied Larry.
"I've got $400 hid away in a safe
place."
"But it isn't a public spirited policy j
to hoard money away," remarked the !
merchant, thinking to quiz him. "You ;
ought to deposit it in a good bauk, so :

Anaxagoras, the Athenian philoso

that wind was air set in motion by

the rainbow was the resulting phenom

HORSEHAIR FOR BOWS.
Only Illnok or White From Rout or
tJermnnj la VmmI.
Then? is a vast amount of horsehair
annually used in the United States for
making and repairing violin, violon
cello and bass viol bows. AH of the
hair comes from Germany ami Rus
sia, In which countries the tails of
horses are generally allowed to grow
much longer than here. The foreign
hair Is also coarser in texture ami
tougher than that which grows on the
American horse, ond these qualities
make the Imported article more valua
ble than the domtlc product.
There are only two kinds of horse
hair suitable for making bows, and
they are of white and black varieties.
The former is Usd for violin bows,
and the latter, which Is heavier and
stronger, Is the best material for mak
ing bows for cello ajul bass viols, lo
calise it bites the larger strings better.
The Imported IwUr Is put up In hanks
of thirty-six Inches long, which Is five
or all lnchea longer than the standard
violin bow. A hank is sufficient for
one violin fcow, while two hanks are re
quired to hair a cello or bass viol bow.
There are about one and a half ounces
of hair In a hank, which is wortn from
2T to 30 oents, according to the quality
of-the hair. Philadelphia Record.
