A TRICKY MEMORY. I
A Keen-Minded Han Whose Recollection
Was at Fault.
It would afford material for an entire
paper to study defects of memory and
to describe some of the curiosities of
thinking which result from such de
fects. A writer in Popular Science
Monthly says that he saw lately a busi-,
ness man of keen mind and good gen
eral memory, who was not paralyzed in
any way and was perfectly able to
understand and talk, but who had sud
denly lost part of his power of reading
and of mathematical calculation.
The letters d, g, q, x and y, though
seen perfectly, were no longer recog
nized and conveyed no more Idea to
him than Chinese characters would to
us. He had great difficulty in reading
had to spell out all words and could
not read words containing three letters.
He could write the letters which he
could read, but could not write the five
letters mentioned. He could read and
write some numbers, but B, 7 and 8 had
been lost to him, and when asked to
write them his only result, after many
attempts, was to begin to write the
words six, seven or eight, not being
able to finish these, as the first and last
contained letters x and g which he
did not know.
He could not add 7 and 5 together or
any twos numbers of which 6, 7 or 8
formed a part, for he could not call
them to his mind. Other numbers he
knew well. He could no longer tell
time by the watch.
For a week after the onset of the dis
ease he did not recognize his surround-1
ings. On going out for the first time
the streets of the city no longer seemed ;
familiar; on coming back he did not
know his own house. After a few
weeks, however, all his memories had
returned excepting those of the let- j
ters and figures named. But as the
loss of these put a stop to his reading j
and to all his business life the small de '
feet of memory was to him a serious I
thing. .
Experience has shown that such a I
defect is due to a small area of disease
in one part of the brain. Such cases
are not uncommon and illustrate the
separateness of our various memories
and their dependence upon a sound
brain.
ANCIENT WARRIORS.
They Were Phyaloally Inferior to Soldiers
of the Present.
The popular tendency to enlarge
everything that is far oft and belittle
that which is so cIoro by is responsible
for the opinion that the men of tho
present time are degenerate reductions
of the s men of medieval times, who
were giants clad in iron and with
muscles of steel. The l'arls Figaro
thus shows the absurdity of this
opinion:
t:iat 1 v.-;ia i.o bor,vca r.io t j tell him
something of our government.
"You have a president of the couutry,
the whole states, is it not?" he inquired
earnestly. v
I nodded assent.
"Va bene! If a man kills murders,
you understand who tries him, the
federal or state courts?"
"The state courts," I replied, "unless
it is a case of treason."
"If he is convicted, who can pardon

asked, with calm assurance, and a slight
emphasis on the "of course."
"No, indeed; the murderer is tried in
the state courts; he can be pardoned
only by the state board of pardons, if
there is one, or by the state's chief
officer the governor. The president
has nothing to do with it."
"Well!" flashed my companion, sar
castically, "in Italy the governor i f a
little petty province has not the par
doning power."
"Sir!" I thundered, now thoroughly
angry, "Italy will go twice into the
petty province of Texas."
It was very naughty to get angry,
and especially with such a politely sar
castic little Italian. I know it. Hut
who could sit still and hear the sher,
unapproachable nay, glorious im
mensity of our country assailed without
getting angry? No one except the
audacious fop, who every now and then
annoys us with a brazen assertion that
bigness is, after all. not such a virtue.
QUICKEST HANQINQON RECORD
Legal Execution Performed Inside of Pour
Minutes to Accommodate Reporters.
Capt. J. B. Patten, warden of the In
diana state prison at Jeffersonville,
has the record for superintending the
quickest legal hanging ever accom
plished in this or any other country,
says the St. Louis Republic. The laws
of Indiana prescribe that the death
sentence must be executed between
midnight and the dawn of the day set
by the court. A man named Stone had
butchered a whole family in Davis
county, of that state, and had been
condemned to death. The case was a
celebrated one, and newspaper men
from Indianapolis and Louisville went
down to Jeffcrsonville in a perfect
phalanx to wttness and report the
famous criminal's exit from this vale
f tears. They arrived in the early
evening, expecting to return to their
homes on a train leaving Jeff ersonville
about one o'chick, by which time they
expected the execution to be over. To
their intense disappointment and
chagrin they discovered that the last
train they could take departed from
the prison town at twelve o'clock at
night.
, Having determined this they set
about arranging matters so they eould
see the hanging and yet catch the
train. .They telegraphed tha clrcum

aAeSOWTECV PURE
THE BABY ALARM.
A New Electrical Household Appliance
. and Ita Uses.
The newest electrical household ap
pliance, and in future no nursery will
be complete without it, is the "baby
alarm." It often happens that, in a
large house, where the infant is sleep
ing in a room on the upper story, the
nurse cannot retire to the servants'
room, which may be on a different floor
and too far distant for any to hear the
child's signal that it. is awake. The in
tention of the baby alarm is to give
warning to any required distance when
the child cries. A sensitive microphone,
placed near the cot, is connected to a
battery and an . induction coil, and
thence by wires to a small electro-magnet
at the end where tho sound is to be
received. When the child cries the mi
crophone will set up an iindulatory cir
cuit, the electro-magnet will be actu
ated, its oscillation will close a bell cir
cuit, and a bell will continue to ring as
long as the sound of the baby's voice is
sustained. As the device is at present
constructed the adjustment of the bal
ance lever which is set in motion by
the electro magnet is so delicate that
the apparatus has to be handled with
extreme care, and any bungling by an
inexperienced person is likely to de
range it. Suggestions have been made
for lessening the complexity of the in
strument, and muking it a practical and
durable means of enabling infants to
unconsciously signal to a distance, and
thus save much anxious watching on
tbe part ot those In charge.

Uses to Which the Animal
Be Turned.
When railroads were first put in op
eration it was predicted that there
would be a great fall in the value of
horses, a deterioration of horse flesh,
and finally that the animals would
soon become curiosities on the
way .towards extinction. Of course,
lays the Iloston Transcript, everybody
knows that nothing of the kind hap
pened. Horses increased in number,
valuo and quality. The business the
railroads developed all along - their
liivee ooaaakmod a demand frmore and
better horses. Just at present the
popularity of tne bicycle and the appli
cation of electricity to transmutation
are causing some people to repeat the
predictions of fifty years ago eoueern
iuir tho home. It is even said that the
horse in tho near future will be raised
simply for slaughter for fonl. If the
hot-iut could leurn of this prediction his
nU'lligcnce aud his sense of his value
would prevent him from taking It
.eriotihly. He might ask: What good
ia the electrld car off the rails? How
does a bicycle act on plowed ground,
and what can It draw without the as
sistance of human energy? If horses
become very cheap will not more eo
pie buy them, and will not the aggre
gate of individual wants occasion a
irreal demand that will send up prices?
The Intelligent horse axklng thoae
questions could well afford to munch
his on la calmly while the alarmists
urr cogitating as to w hat reply was
poas'lile.

A aad accident lately happened to a

ENORMOUS HEAT.
A Figure Which Demonstrates the Powet
... of the 8an. . -;
...There is not more than one person In
each ten thousand who has anything
like the correct idea what -an. icicle
forty-five miles in diameter and ttrc
hundred thousand in length would look
like. It is also true, says the St. Louis
Republic, that there is no necessity foa
one being provided with a mind thai
would enable him to form a correct
conception of such a gigantio cylinder
of ice, for there is no probability that
anyone will ever live to see an icicle
even half so large, yet it is interesting
to know that Sir John Uerschel, the
great astronomer, used such an illus
tration in one of his articles on the la
tensity of the sun's heat. . After giving
the diameter of the great blazing orW,
and a calculation on the amqunt Of
heat radiated by each square foot of ita
immense surface, he closed by saying
that if it were possible for an icicki
forty-five miles in diameter and ttvo
hundred thousand miles long to plurJge
into the sun's great burning sea of gas
it would be melted away and utterly
consumed even to its vapor, in leas than
one second ot time. Such an Iclclat
would contain more ice than has formed
on the rivers and lakes of the United
States during the past one hundred
years; its base would cover the averaOe
Missouri country and its length would
be almost sufllcient to reach to the
moon.

It la easy, of conrie, to understand
how Mn drawing should have come to
be so largely employed and rlalsorated.
It Is a matter of reproduction fur Illus

says the London Spectator, led in the
early part of the century to the Imita
tion of steel eugravings by wood en
