Morphy, the celebrated chess player, could play several games of chess simultaneously without. seeing any of the boards on which the various mes were being conducted. It was ecullarly impressive sight to see gtanding In the middle of the floor, his arms foldetl, defending him- and attacking the various oppo- neats, with the position of the chess men: on the several boards always in his mind’s eye, observes a writer. The noted Jesult Father Suarez was said to have known all the works of St. Au- gustine by heart. These. consist of eleven large volumes. Pascal is sald never to have forgotten anything he read, and the same is told of Grotius, Leibnits and KEuler.

We store- keepers are aware that customers are, more likely to walk straight into a store when unimpeded than to go up even one short step. Banks were the last to realize the handicap imposed by steps at the entrances, and you don't see architects planning bank dings now with steps at the front q‘._zadtngeoldm Newepaper A ssion Which 8hould Wieid Absolute Power.

He should neither be hel responsible for them nor allowed to touch them, any- further than any other resident of the city. ‘Why has the city taken -over street, curb and sidewalk, and allowed & narrow- strip of private property to intervene? Why does the city partially control it? Is a divided Interest and responsibility conducive to_ the best resglts? A study of our street planting will quick- ly bring an answer.

Where Cyciones Originate. The most violent cyclones originate in tropical latitudes, in the Atlantic ocean to the morth and east of West Indian islands, and in the Pacific, in the China sea and in the neighborhood of the Philippine islands. The reason they are so destructive 18 because they are carried such great distances by extraneous influences. The West Indlan cyclones are ‘attracted toward.the Gulf stream by the great volume of heated air which alwa hangs over it and follows its course; so the cyclones of the Pacific follow the course of Kuro Siwo, the great oceanic current which passes around| the East Indian archipelago, the shores of China and the Japanese islands. Cyclones may be anywhere from 50 to 500 miles in diameter and may travel over a path 5,000 miles in ex- tent: / A Robert Browning Story. Tennyson wore the same hat year after year, a big wide-awake, almost green with age. How long exactly he had had this hat nobody seems to know. His Inverness cloak was not quite so ancient, but had long since seen its best days. The great poet was scrupulously clean in his person, but he would not part with' his old clothes. He seems to have clung as tena- ciously to his boots as to his bhat. William Allingh#m recapds - in his diary: “Robert Browning dined at Tennyson's last night. Tennyson - in great force.
