TWO CLASSES OF THINKERS
Bodies That Have Been Alluded to as
the Tender-Minded and
the Tough.
Professor James of Harvard was
wont to divide philosophers into two
classes, the tender-minded and the.
tough-minded. At times he varied
the phraseology by referring to them
as the thick and the thin; at other
times as the tenderfooted and the
Rocky mountain tough.
The tender-minded are, according
to Professor James, the philosophers
of a speculative turn, the rational
ists, “going by principles;” the
tough-minded are the empiricists,
“going by facts.” Further, the ten
der-minded are intellectualistic,
idealistic, optimistic and dogmat
ical ; the tough-minded are material
istic, pessimistic and skeptical.
If we are to believe James, there
is little love lost between these two
classes of thinkers. “The tough
think of the tenders as sentimental
ists and softheads. The tender feel
the tough to be unrefined, callous or
brutal.”
The tender-minded spin their fine
cobwebs of theory, but the tough
minded look abroad “on the colossal
universe of concrete facts, the awful
bewilderments, the surprises and
cruelties and the wildness things
show,” and at least face all that, if
they can’t explain it.
PARDONABLE ERROR.
"What an interesting thumb
print!” exclaimed the near-sighted
man. "I suppose you had it magni
fied and framed for scientific pur
poses ?”
"That isn’t a thumb print.” re
sponded the, museum attendant.
"That’s a map of Boston.”
NATURALLY.
"Somebody has done Jinks a foul
wrong.”
"What was it?”
"Stole his incubator.”
PROVED FACT.
"Do you believe the theory that
accidents come in cycles ?”
"Sure I do, especially if they’re
motorcycles.”
EXPLAINED.
"Mrs. Playail has such winning
ways.”
"I know she has. That’s why I
don’t care to play bridge with her.”
KEEPING WARM WITH ICE
Simple Dem on strati on of Process That
at First Soems Altogether Out
of the Ordinary.
The process is simple enough. It i
consists in the furnishing of a
double-lined car with four galvan
ized iron cylinders reaching from the
floor almost to the top. In sum- ,
mer these cylinders are kept filled
with ice and salt in order that the
car may be maintained at a cool tem
perature; in winter they are filled
with ice in order to keep the contents
of the car from freezing.
ice is nominally at a temperature
of 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and it is
a substance that changes its tempera
ture reluctantly, being a bad con
ductor of heat or cold. Hence, when
zero weather prevails without, the
cylinders of relatively warm ice pre
vent the escape of heat; in other
words, so it is claimed, they main
tain the temperature within the car.
Still another device whereby ice is
employed for protection against cold
consists in throwing upon the car
when the weather is near the zero
point, a plentiful stream of water,
which, freezing at once, forms a
complete coat over the car. The ac
tion of the ice is said to be the same
as in the other case.
A similar plan is sometimes adopt
ed in the transportation of bananas,
a fruit that is especially susceptible
*to cold. The bananas are put in pa
per bags inside of heavy canvas
sacks and covered v^ith salt hay when !
the temperature is dangerously low.
