INTERESTING STUDY IN PSYCHOLOQV VxporlmontR to I'royo Tlmt Alter n Time Wo Itomomber Only Our Own Itocollcctloni ol rrontfllolpdil Distractions. Trom the New Vork Sun. The profesurs In tin department o rnyiholotxy In Couioll university mo cnrrvlns on a nerlcs of-xpcrlinents, Mii-eli, In time, nmy come to clianco our conception oi things material mid olherulne. For Infltanot, one of the board contend tlmt memory-, us wo ni'W consider It, In an lluMnn In fine, It Is held that a man does not letm-ir her hU dead iud hoik; relatlvp? hSB rlph'is, Ills cousins or his aunts, that, rciitriry to the nwai o "Aux Ilallpn," one Is not reminded of bysuno events In the sense of smell: that music, however reminiscent it may sound, Is laigoly a matter of habit, when It Is used merely ns a ehlelo for memory. From what can bs gathered ftom the findings of Professor Tlchener and his assttancc you are icmlndcd of bvtrono events bv other things, which ou uo tis propi psslve helpeis, to to speak, to aid your Jaded Intellect. To put It plainer, your veteran ot the late war does not lemomber the 1 ittlfs through which ho passed. The mcmoiy of the battle stao.l with him for a short period nfter they took place. Hut the details of the flKht becumu Indis tinct after a very shott lipsa of tlnm. At the end of a ear he would lime only a very general conception of an engagement.

Then, as the yens J oil cm, the new happenings of nis llio ciowd .ut the old ones, until the latter become distorted, and, If ho examines old ipeords, ho will find tlu't his Ideas of the oiir'nal battles ait very innc cuiatc. nxpnrsiMiJNT-?. This sounds like an imperfectly stated theory of some beginner In science who might thus vlsh to exploit it clnnco glimpse into a hitherto tinev plnred field, but the observations aie borne out by experiments and the px leilments are conducted with Instru ments, the recoids of which presum ably are con net. The experiments have been extended over a period of yeais. The subject wus first asked to remem ber an event which had occurred pre vious to the first test. A caieful lecoid of the account of the events was made Later, the subject was placed in a room from which every object which mljht tcrve to distract his at tention had been cemoved. Jen the wall paper offend no lartni? contrasts In Its color scheme. Ills seeonl account fol the happening was different, eer so slightly, fiom the llrst. At the end ot a en period another account was le con. ' Again there was a slight dlf feience. And after a time It became evident that the subject was deppdlng on his previous remembiancs of the event In question. The Inference chawn was that if the Intermediate tests had not been instituted the final test would LMiuve been more accurate than It was In the meantime, while this test of Iiemory of a more or less complicated vent was belntr carried on, the sub- jet Is experimented upon In older li ascertain In what decree he could TTWHlKPt colors, aie was piaceu in a d.yrkened roohj and a color a shade of rod Hashed on. a screen was show n to him. After a time ho was asked to pick out the shade which had been frliown to him previously. He could do so when allowed to compare the shade with others. But again he was asked to look at a screen which could be au tomatically graduated, so that the veiy lightest tint of red could be almost Im perceptibly changed to the deepest shade. Failure to detect the paitlcu lar shade was In this case almost a foregone conclusion. And It was with a like result that a series of notes, struck upon the piano, weie tiled. MEMORY AND ODORS. The experiments with odors are still being carried on. The Idea Is to show that the unconscious remembrance of anything when a certain odor Is smelled Is merely a habit of an Intellectual or der. Let us say that we always think of the opera "Faust" when the odor of violets Is present. Doubtless In the first instance the odor actually was present while we listened to the opein. Now, Immediately after this, It was simply a natuial sequence that we An honest Inan in this day and age has little i need to fear death by Hanging. The dancer n that i n 11 o l c e n t men will die upon the scaffold has been re duced by modern laws of evidence to a minimum. There is one appalling death that still threatens inno cent men. It is a slow and lingering death from consumption. One-sixth of the hu man race die from this relentless enemy of humanity. Probably no subject connected with health is so important and so little understood as the conservation of vital force. The human organism is a wonderful machine, and is so constructed that if ex haustive draughts are made upon the vital forces during youth and middle life, the mechanism responds for the time, but at the expense of its future usefulness. The man who overworks or exhausts himself day after day is constantly overdrawing his store of vital force, l'lually the mechan ism of supply breaks down and the man becomes a physical bankrupt. The me chanism of supply in a man is his stomach. There the food is transformed into vital force. If the stomach is weak and the di gestion impaired, the body ceases to re ceive and store up vital force. If the draught is continued, consumption or some other equally fatal disease is the result Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a great producer of vital force. It enables a man to daily store up energy to' do almost any amount of work or stand any amount of exposure. It does its work through the stomach. It makes the weak stomach strong. It facilitates aud Increases the flow of digestive juices. It promotes and perfects the assimilation of all the life giving elements of the food. It is the great blood-maker and flesu-bullder. Mn F. M. Kobtuctt, of Xenophou, Tend., writes) "I can heartily recommend Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for indigestion and torpid liver, X was very bad off and tried dif ferent doctors with but little bcne6L I decided to rive the 'Qolden Medical Discovery' a trial and I soou began to improve If It had not been for Dr. Tierce's Roldeo Medical Discovery 1 be lieve I would not lit Uvhig tu-duyJ itlSS M&mWjLMiR'iFV . WHMMiwyM wmn LiM : j ::IPiinl IMS v i fhould think of the opera when wo saw tho flower. To see was to smell, and to smell was to connect th3 odoi with the opera. Tho slightest Intellectual effort would complcto tho chnln. A few occnslons of this nature would chango the procoFS Into a habit. Often only ono occasion Is necessary, but the pro cess In as much of tho Intellect ns It Is of the sense of smell; even more so, In fact. Referring, again, to Meredith's poem, tho process might bis called tho jasmine llower habit. To show that this habit ,ls Intellectual, a singular experi ment Is now being carried on. Sur rounded by tho proper lnllucnccs, tho subject l.s being allowed to smell an odor which Invariably reminds hltn of a certain event of the past. Latterly, however, this odor is being gradually lessened In Intensity and another odor entliely different In oh.ttuctcr Is being Introduced Into the loom. The subject Is never allowed to smell tho first with out the second, and tho Hist will finally bo allowed to disappear altogether. If, with this new odor alone, the subject Is Dually temlnded of tho event abovo mentioned, It will show that this odor leinembrance Is meiely a habit more or lets lncchniiical la its action. HONEST LYINO. "There Is not one person In a hun dred," said Huley, "who can descrlbo tho commonest occurence with even an approach to accuracy." Later'the psy chologists go fuilher than this and as sert that almost any pel son, with suit able manipulation, can be made to be lieve that he has paitlclpated In events with which he In lealltv could not pos sibly hive been connected at tho time of their happening. A cane- In point was repnited remntlv A would-be pensioner under the govoinlnent ap pllcd to a mnn nuclei whom ho had served duilng tho wnr foi coiioboia linn of tho statement that he had been Inii'ied by a gun earrlairo while on tho maich. Tho second man denied any 1 now ledge of the event. Months later the fiist man brought up the subject again, but could not convince bis form er ofllcer ot the tiuth of the state ment. At Intel vnls, covering some ycais, he lepeatcd the cvpoilment, un til finally the mind of the otllcer be gan to waver In favor of the private; and It actually ended In the former signing an ntlldavit to the effect that he had witnessed the accident Then, having consldeied the matter further, ho wavered again, and finally he enme to the conclusion that what he lemem beied was not the accident Itself, but the would-be pensioners foimer ac counts of it. Tills, after nil, Is only an abstract conoboiatlon of the old saying that a man needs only to tell a He u sufficient number of times In or dei to be thoroughly convinced that it Is true. The point of the observations at Cor nell Is that no one ically lemembers an event Itself The capacity for so doing would be n real misfortune to the person so equipped. In view of all taut must bo ciowdod Into the brain of the average pet "on dining his or her lifetime. The thing simmers down to a general Impression, nnd even the edge o' this becomes blunted very noon If we do not lechaige our mind with new images of the event The Image of the event Itself must peifoice at last pass away from us, but by often recapitulat ing our knowledge of It we do hoiiip Ih'ng to pieserve It In our minds. In short, our memory of a happening Is nc t of the event Itself, but of our pre vious memories of It. Mechanically II luttrated, the process Is the same as though several billiard balls are placed In line and then shot at by another ball The Intter strikes one end of the line, but only the ball on the other end moves The foice Is transmitted pll the wav thiough, however. VIOLETS Another lemaikable seiics ot epeil ments now being can led on In Cornell has to do with the odor of violets Con centiutlon of the human mind Is being studied, and In the couise of expeii ments the fact has been couoborated that human beings can be swavod definitely by odois as well as by sounds This does not mean the eienting of en thusiasm such as people aie wrought up to In the theatre, but that in every day life poisons may be made to work fast or slow, accoidlngly as they aie suuounded by various odoi, or In ought Within hc-ailns of coitaln sounds It is found, lor example, that some men will peifoun mechanical woik much faster If an odor of violets peivades the workioom. Otheis will work much slower under tho same In fluence. Pi of. Tlchener was asked If the writer of this dehcilptlon could be made to write a stoiv better or worse If suriounded by .some specified odor. Ills icply was that the writing- of a stoiy was n veiy complicated process, Involving many pfschologlc conditions. Tho mental associations needful weio likely to be too absorbing. Rut when the woik was more mechanical in Its natuie tho case would be different. A bileklayer could undoubtedly be swayed In either direction by the sense of smell The effects were precisely the same with sound. Prof. Tlchener's account of these experiments, as le lated to' tho writer. Is as follows. DISTRACTION. "It Is contended that ou can some times do jour work best under a slight abstraction. Thut Is. If you have eveiy thlng too comfortable, concentration Is not as easy as though you were work ing under slight abstraction, as, for In stance, If some one is playing a piano nearby. We made a number of Investi gations to see," If possible, what the actual effect of a distraction Is on the mind which Is In a state of attention. We flist got attention by making a long series of experiments In which the subject had to judge of two Impies slons given ono nfter another. One test was mado bv dropping weights from different heights onto a scale and hav ing the subject note by the sound whether the weight wns falling -a shoiter or longer distance Immense umount ot nttentlon is icqulred. An other test was mado with shades ot color. Ry shifting tho Bhades It Is dif ficult to detect a slight change of color. The red and blue shades are somewhat easy, but to tell the changes In brown Is very dlfllcult. Wo pi noticed on weight and sounds up to tho smallest limit of space, to find Just the smallest differ ence that could be detected with a com plete strain of attention. Then we pro ceeded to distract our subjects while they wero dropping weights and mak ing sounds The object, of course, was to find If this distraction made them able to perceive a slighter dlffeienco than before, or whether the dlsti action would pi event their attention to well. RESULTS, "Tho results differed very greatly with vnilous caseH, and tho method of distraction, Wo found that with ab straction by smell (scents) some sub jects could think better and have keen er seiiso than before, while In other casea the result was the contrary. Ev ery Individual man Is differently acted upon by these associations, and some are very easily abstracted by sound and smell both While wo did not find It to be a rcgularrule, we got a com plete aeries of real and in the maxU Sclool Lesson for March 2d JoHie tHie Baptist BY Secretary of CHANGED ORDEU.-1. This lesson Is Incidental and retrospective, It Is Intro duced In tho Gospel narratlvo out ot its order to account for tho suspicious of Herod on hearing of Christ's popularity (Mark J, 14). Hut for tho troubled con science of that licentious king, awakening ills fears that the murdered John had re turned to life clothed with even greater power (John xv, 41), tho world might nover havo known tho manner of his death. Tho greatest of tho prophota, his mission being fulfilled (Matt. Ill, 3), might havo sunken Into obscurity before lllm whom ho Introduced (John 111 CO), as tho stars disappear when tho great luminary mounts the heavens. 2 Heiod had two palaces, ono for thu whiter In tho south, cast of the Jordan; the other for tho spring and summer nt Tiberias, on tho western shoro of tho sea of Oalllee. Hla removal from tho former to tho latter transferred htm from tho field of John's ministry to that of Jesus. Hcnco his knowledge of Jesus. 3. Rearranging tho facts cluonologlcally aud accepting some guidance from profane history (Josephus Antlq lib. xv 111, chap. 71), tho passage may bo studied under tho following heaas: SINTt'L WEDLOCK. The Herod ot the lesson, descendant of both Jacob nnd Esau, tho death of his father, Herud tho C5io.it, beciirc tetrarch of Uallleo and I'tre.i (Luku III 1), Educated at Romo and married to the beautirul d lUghter of Arutas, Wing of Aiabl.i, ho began his eareei with nattering piospccts. While on a visit to Jerusalem he beinino cnam oie)l of Horodlis, granddaughter of He roil, tho preat, his niece, tho wife of Ho-rod-I'hlllp, his half brother, a l erson of great wealth. Overtures of miirlago wero accepted. Or,o put away his wife, and the other abandoned her husband. tn elopement followed. Salome, daughter of Hctndlas, accompanied her mother and tho Incesturus twain celebiated their nuptials In tho palace. Tills scandalous proceeding violated tho law of Clod (Lev. X"C 21), tiampled upon lmn's honor and woman's virtue, and outraged domestic purity. Ie became an open reproach to the thiono and a menace, to public moral ity. And jet tho courtiers getheied nbout condoned tho offense, and joined In tho (latteries and festivities that lntlsmo tho prldo and gratify the ambition of a social monster. rAITIirt'L PREACHING -Then came the Baptist Into Heroils dominions (John 1, 2S), preaching repentance Crowds gathered to henr him, and tho king be came an Interested auditor. Greatly pleased with tho preacher Herod did m iny things, enjoined in the sermons (Mark vl 20). That was a great oppor tunity for the refoimer. If he can win the ruler popularity and fortune await him. Shall ho speak gently, dealing In ab stractions and ll.itterles' Shill he dis course upon the sin of the niitediluvlans or the virtues of tho patriarchs' Shill ho bring flowers of lhotorlc nnd quota tions fiom the sages?

And how can ho prepnro for Messiah unless ho strikes at sin In high places? (Isa. lvll, 14). And, what la moro Important, how shall ho ansv.cr to God It hu let tho sin ner cscupe? (Ezck. ill, IS). Tho preacher of tho wilderness did his duty, plainly, fearlessly. Thero was no doubt of hH meaning when ho declared, "If Is not lnwful for thee to havo thy bi others wife" (verso 4). As a court preacher John placed himself bcsldo Nathan (II Sam. xll, 7), and Elijah (I Kings xxt, 20). RESTRAINED HATRED.-There la reason to bellovo that Herod was con victed, for ho acknowledged John to be a holy man (Mark vl, 20). Possibly If left to himself, ho would havo put away Ho rodlas, and she may havo feared such n result. At any rato the words of tho preacher aroused tho worst elements of her nature. Sho hated him and would have killed him had sho tho power and opportunity (Prov. lx, 13). Partly to ap peaso her and to protect the man of God, partly to rid htmselt of such a bold ac cuser, perhaps to prevent a popular dem onstration, pel haps becauso the devil prompted and tho Lord permitted (Psalm Kxvl, 10), Herod shut up John In prison (verso 5). The pluco selected for tho con flnemcnt Is supposed to havo been tho fortress of Machaerus, nbout six miles eastward from the Dead sea. 1'rom that lotty point John might havo looked over all tho scenes of his childhood and ministry. When ho wns Imprisoned Jesus departed into Galileo (Matt, lv, 12). Prom that prison John sent messencers to Jesus (Matt. 11, 2), deslilr.g to be assured that Ho was the Messiah.

Thete tem poral judgments," If they came, were but trifles compared with tho spiritual tor ments Por, ns Jesus camo Into Herod s dominions In tho north somo time after, tho king heard of Him, and, conscience smitten, trembled, thinking that John tho Baptist had been restored to llfe( veisea 1 and 2). And even that as less to Do dreaded than final retribution (Erck. ill, la, Piov. xxl. 5: Hob. x, 30). Put that day of tho prophet's martyrdom was tho day of liberation and glorification (I'salm cxvl, IS).
