DOTT BE A DULL MAN.
And Don’t Havo to Say ”1 Didn’t
Think,” or “I Didn’t Rooliao."
"Tile dull man is a bud man." gay*
Arnold Bennett in the Wonn.’i's llo. ic
Companion. "You may say that the
dull man sins by want of thought rath
er than with intention, unconscious
ly rather titan consciously. Perhaps.
But that does not lessen the evil he
causes, if I get out of un automobile
and carelessly bang the door of it be
hind me and catch your finger In the
door iyou having remained in the cart
and leave it caught there your agony
won't lie less acute because !. through
not looking behind me either before or
after I banged the door, am unaware
of it. Nor will your resentment against
me be any the less cither.
"Simply to say 'I never realized' is
not an entirely satisfactory excuse
People ought to realize The habit of
Dot realizing grows faster than almost
any other habit, and it is very comfort
able, and it saves a lot of trouble—to
oneself. But it is to be condemned.
"Yet if u man ir. absolutely dull, If
lie Is utterly without Imagination, how
can he realize, how can he put himself
in the other man's place? Is lie not to
be pitied instead of anathema!ized?
"As to that. I will led you some
thing: There is no such person ns the
absolutely dull man. the man abso
lutely without imagination Every
body has some gift of imagination,
everybody can succeed in putting him
self. to a certain extent, in the other
man's place. And few people, if any.
perform this feat as often or as eom
plotely as they might do."
OUR SENSE OF MOTION.
And an Explanation of Soma Railway
Train Dduaiona.
When you sit in a moving train look
ing out of t lie window it upbears as
though the fields, the telegraph poles
and everything else outside were mov
ing instead of you. This Is because our
only ideas of motion are arrived at by
comparison. The fact that neither you
nor the seats of tlie car uor any other
part of the inside of the car is chang
ing its position leads you to the delu
sion that the tilings outside the car are
moving.
If you were to pull down ell the cur
tains and tlie train were making no
noise at all you would not think tha*
anything was moving, says the Book
of Wonders. It would appear as
though you were motionless Just as
every thing in 1 lie car appears so
WIitMi you turn then to the window
and lift the curtain you carry in tlr.
back of your mind the idea of being al
rest, and that is what makes it appear
as though the fields and everything
outside were moving in an opposite di
rection.
This is particularly noticeable when
you are in a train in a station, with
another train on the next track. There
is a souse i f motion if one of the
trains only is mo\ ing. and you feel that
it is the otlict train, because you are
surrounded by objects in the car which
are at test. If the delusion happens to
lie turned the other way it will appear
as though you are moving and the
other is still.

valet who had been traveling due west
from Boston for five days. At the etui
of the fifth day master and servant
were seated in the smoking car. and it
was observed that the man was gazing
steadily and thoughtfully out of the
window. Finally Ids companion be
came curious. “William." said lie, “of
what are you thinking?"
“1 was just thinking, sir, about tin
discovery of Hamerlca.” replied the
valet. "Columbus didn’t do such a

Pulling an Elaphant’a Tooth.
Perhaps tin greatest dental operation
on record was performed some years
ago upon an elephant lit the City of
Mexico. Tin* aching tooth was twelve
inches long and measured fourteen
Inches round the root.- After the ani
mal had been securely fastened with
chains his mouth was pried open and
a quantity of cocaine applied to deaden
the pain. When this was done a hole
was bored through the tooth and an

twisted around the bar. and four
horses were attached thereto to drag
the offending molar out.—London Tit
