It may be sald at once that not everybedy 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 it until it will serve him to an almost unlim- ited degree. The photographic memory usually finds its best development among peo- ple with what are called “bumpy” foreheads. They have unusual pow- ers of visual concentration.~Ex- change, Two Atomic Theories. An atom is a part so small as not to be divisible. It is an ultimate par- ticle of matter. Two opinions, direct- Iy 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 divisibllity, the smallest conceiv- able particle still consisting of an infinity of parts. The first of these theories, which is commonly distin- 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 Epl- 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. Whence Electric Lamps 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 s made. First, there is the filament of tung- sten, then the glass bulb into which cnter silica, soda, nitre from Chile, potash, manganese from Russia, ar- senic, borax, feldspar, lead, aluminum, cryolite from Greenland, cobalt from Canada. The base of the lawp Is | made of copper and zine from Utah and Missouri, while the basing cement is a mixture of marble dust from Vermont, whiting from Ohlo, shellac from India and pine resin from Georgia. Wonderful 1s” 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, a material which would keep out all moisture, however heavy the down- pour of rain, and yet allow the frec escape of the heat and molsture of the body, his fortune would be made. Pleasure in Studying Bird Life, The co-operation of birds and man, studied from the days of Vergil, may well become more Intimate and more fruitful of results, as our understand- ing of bird-life grows deeper. Was it not a British statesman, Viscount Grey of Falloden, who said in one of his public speeches that the appreciation |* and study of birds ylelds a pleasure “purer and more lasting than any pleasures of excitement, and, in the long run, happler than personal success”?
