STORING WORDS IN MEMORY
VVh-t Mav Be Described as Mental
Photography Is Especially Valu
able to Theatrical People.
11k- i lin;i>.:'!iplil<" memory i« found I
most frequently in ac'ors and nc*
tresses, who have to study a variety
of • an-' in a vory short time. After
n time. these people form n habit "f
setting a mental photograph of the
words. They look at the page, read
the lines, and then, shutting their
eyes, endeavor to - "see" the words.
It l« a lial'it winch, once formed, is
f|U!rl;!y developed. The present writer
once "i-mmii'.-d" n part of forty-five
pn»e« in a single day by the aid of I
this natural photography.
It may be said at once that not
everybody can acquire this species of
memory. Only those, possessed of
great powers of concentration can
achieve the results described. But.
provM:! that -i person has anything
of this gift, he ••an build upon It until
if will serve him to au almost unlim
ited degree.
. The ph 'tographlc memory usually
finds iis le-t development among peo
ple with what are called "humpy"
foreheads. They have unusual pow
ers of visual concentration.—Ex

RAVAGED BY LOCUSTS
Province in Argentina Swept by
Plague of Insects.
Disappear as Suddenly as They Come, j
Leaving Desert of Country
They Pass Throuflh.
Buenos Aires.—A plague of locusts, 1
like I lint which ill undent Egypt "cov- |
civil i!k> ttier of lite t*urtli," tills year j
descended ii|hiii ilie province of Santa
I'e. Similar offensives are almost an
nual event> in one ps'.rt or other of Ar
gentina.
The locusts come stnlilenly and wlth
oiil warning. Where for a year or sev
eral years perhaps not one of the in
sects has been seen, a veritnble cloud
of tin-in will one day appear anil settle
on the ground. These usunlly come
Hutu the northwest, from the vast ul
mosi iniliihiililieil tracts In Bolivia, It
is supposed. They cover the earth like
a moving carpet, gradually moving on.
At tlr.st little damage Is done, aside
from the Inconvenience of having lit
erally millions of the insects covering
everything and even penetrating the
houses. Hut as they progress through
the country they bore holes Into the
earth, preferably in hard spots such as
roadways. Into which they deposit
their eggs. Within a short time the
larva are hatched and come forth. At
llrst these cannot ll.v, and it Is at this
stage that they devour every living
plant within their path, with the ex
ception of a few species such us" wil
low trees.
A little Inter the Insects develop |
their wings mid, leaving the eouutry
tl) rough which they Imvc passed a
desert, they disappear •almost as sud
denly as they came. Where they go
to lias never been discovered.
Argentina lias had recourse to many
methods of lighting the locusts. The
nation maintains organized locust
lighting squads, something like those
formed to tight tires, nud these are sent
every year to the sections Invaded. In
addition, every rancher is held respon
sible for lighting the pest in his own
locality.
One of the methods employed is to
dig trenches in which the lnsocts are
collected, afterward being burned. But
110 matter how many miillous of them
are made away with in any such man
ner, it is impossible to block the pest,
owing to the great extent of Argentina,
much "of which Is still very sparsely
settled.
DOG WEARS AUTO SPECS
Even (lie bow-wows are being tit toil
out with goggles for motoring, accord
ing to a report from Boston, which
states that goggles for dogs have been
placed on sale there. A prominent
Boston woman who is in the habit of
taking her (log on motoring trips start
ed the fail. The dug was suffering
from eye strain ns the result of riding
out on windy days.
The photo shows Towser with his
specs.
I'nncho Villa has turned farmer and
both lils friends and his enemies will
be with him in raising something
other than what he has been raising
for the last 15 years.
The Sunday automobile fatalities
are fast beating the record of the Sun
day summer drownings. And there
are more of the former, since they ex
tend throughout the year.
Buried in the Wrong Town.
New Albany. 1ml.—Although noth
