New ldecs in Mental "
- r‘ v "k‘ ) z':r:‘;?? '1
In some of the elementary English
achools, today, mental tests are made,
and gauged by the quickness shown in
solving certain problems presented ple
torlally, One test, known as the Por
teus maze, measures temperament as j
well as mind. = Eleven mazes, graded
ikuly In difficulty, are pflmgfl |
on separate sheets, and the pupil Is
told that they show the paths In a
garden surrounded by walls, He must |
find bis way out by the quickest route,
The showing made depends on the
pupll’s ability to work under pressure
and to withstand distraction by unes
sentials in the material or by nolses in
the room, A cube Imitation test in
volves the touching of four numbered
cubes In a certain sequence as indi
cated by the teacher, the combllsauonl
of numbers belng made more and more
difficult. Each test glves a certain
score, and by combining the scores the
mental age of the pupll is arrived at.
Single tests are of no value. The tests
of London boys and girls between the
ages of eight and thirteen showed some
Interesting sex differences. The girls
excelled In memory tests and the boys
In reasoning.
Old Age Reverenced
Amang Eskimo Tribes
Old people are held In great respect
among the Eskimos, and their counsel
is always considered. They help as
far as they gre able in the household
work, the old men repairing weapons,
harness, etc, and the old women in
sewing and tending the lamps.
In times of scarcity, as in winter,
meat and oil are always . shared
around. Directly a seal or deer is
brought in it is cut up and sent to
each needy family. In times of plen-;
ty each family I 8 supposed to provide
for itsélf, but old people, widows and
orphans have always the first claim
upon those who have the gneans.
Among these people mutual kind
ness I 8 a general obligation. A wid
ow or orphan chlld is never left
alone, but taken into the house and
family circle of the nearest relative.
The widow gives her services in re
turn for food and lodging and cloth
ing, and the child is cared for exactly
as the man's own offspring.

Welcome Stranger ‘
A distinguished westerner, subject
to severe attacks of indigestion, was
traveling with his wife. Late one
night in a pullman, he was selzed
with an attack. His wife slipped on
a kimono and hurried to the washroom
to prepare a mustard plaster, She
rushed back hastily threw aside the
curtains, opened his pajamas and ap
plied the plaster securely before she
discovered it wasn't her husband, but
a strange man, She fled horrified to
the right berth and teld her husband,
who went Into such fits of laughter
that his Indigestion was cured. If
they tried to take off the plaster they
would awaken the ssranger. To avold
a difficult explanation they decided
just to leave it on, exs

Origin of the Clock
The first clock, according to Harry
C, Brearly, was produced about 900
A. D. by Gerbert, the monk, who was
the most accomplished scholar of the
age. At that time the monks were
the only people of learning to whom
marking off of a day's time was sig
nificant. They used bells to mark off
the various periods of the day, much
as some churches do today. The
sounding of the ancient bells was de
pended upon by all the people and
that is why_the word *clock” was
taken from the French word “cloche,’
which means “be 11. At the close of
the Thirteenth century a clock was
set up in St. Paul’s cathedral in Lon
don, and in 1581 Galileo, an Italian
youth, discovered the prineiple of th:
pendulum,

Humble Clam Uses
Tools to Build Home
The use of tools by so lowly a crea
ture us a clam is described by Dr, D,
T. Marshall in Loug Island Life.
There is a species of clam called a
plddock, which bores holes In hard
clay and soft rock and spends its life
in the cavity so made. The piddock
burrows its home in the rock by con
stantly turning its rasplike shell in the
cavity. This explanation is all very
well after the hole is started, but how
about the beginning of the hole before
the piddock could get in to turn round?
The piddock begins the hole by rub
bing the surface with its foot, or, as
one may as accurately describe it,
with its hand, in which it holds a
handful of sand grains. Is not this
just as much making use of a tool as
the action of the housewife who. uses
a handful of sand to scour a pot? -

Centuries Have Seen
No Change in Hammer
Recently an old hammer was found
embedded In a mass of concrete to
which was attached a plece of Roman
tile. From the broken crockery found
with it, there is no doubt that it
must have been a Roman hammer dat
ing from the Second or Third cen
tury., The fortunate discoverer of this
interesting rellc was carrying it off
in triumph to his office when he hap
pened to pass a workman nailing a
carpet with what is known as an up
holsterer’s hammer. This, on Inspec
tion turned out to be an exact rep
lica of the Roman Instrument, ex
cept that it was very slightly smaller.
The bevel on the inside of the claws
of the nall wrench was the same, The
same number of rivets was used to
attach the head to the wooden handle, |
and these rivets were fixed In exactly
the same positions. As “Q. W," writ
ing of the ilncident In one of the
papers, remarked: “So with all onr‘
vaunted progress, there seem to be
some things which, having once been
designed to meet a speclal need, can
not be improved upon so long ag the
need remains the same.”
