'Wen Who Kept Accounts in Their
I Heads; Were Successful.
liecently Philip O'Day,‘ a ' coal deal;
er, of Brooklyn, died and it was
found that for nearly twenty years he
had kept complete tally of his busi-
‘ness in his head, says the New York
(Sun. He had not the slightest
knowledge of arithmetic as taught,
but according to his own methods he
was able to remember who owed him
and whom he owed down to a cent.
His sons associated with him in
the business kept a privale_account
book. but they never dared to let
their father know about it. Just be
fore his death the coal merchant told
them the‘names of all his debtors
and the amounts due. Even in his
dying moments he spoke with scorn
of the need his sons found for using
pencil and paper to take down what
he told them. After their father had
passed away the son's found his
memory was-even better, than their
account book, for they had neglected
certain sums the old merchant had
reported to them.
There was a lumber merchhnt of
Buffalo named Robert Masterson who
even excelled O’Day in his ability to
run his business without books. He
had a knack of associating some-
thiugapart from a business transac-
tion with that transaction, so that in
case of forgetfuiness on "the part of
a debtor he was able to say: -"It
was the afternoon your wife came in
the oliice after she had bought‘the
new baby carriage" or “That was the
same morning that your son came
downfrom the Maine woods and you
joked him about his farmer appear-
ance."
Just as Abraham Lincoln always
had an illustrative story to clinch a
point he wanted to make, so Master-
son had in his remembrance little
things that any other man would
have paid no heed to at all. It was
seldom that. ten or a dozen words
from him failed to settle emphatically
any uncertainty connected with his
business dealings. : _
His reputation so spread because
of his faculty that Buffalo business
men often called on him for corro-
boration of certain transactions, al-
though they did not concern him: In
his way he was alsort of Samuel
Pepys, the prompting to observe ev-
erything and everybody about him
being very strong. ~ But, unlike Pepys,
he kept no journal, no more than he
did a ledger. , ' ‘ ‘ f”
Nevertheless outsiders often came
to 11th to _settle questions. the same
as if he had been‘the most puncti-
lious of recorders. It was an ordin-
ary thing for two and three business
men to run in of a day and ask, “Say,
Boy, do you recall whether or not
Johnson agreed to take the first or
second grade stuff that day you were
in?" ' And "Bob, did I promise to re-’
new Ferguson’s note that afternoon
he was at my oiiice when you'call-
ed.” invariably what Masterson said
was accepted as conclusive.
A few years ago there was a team»
ster in Milwaukee named lsrael Mul-
lin, who was able to tell at the end
of the week the number of loads and
their Weights he had hauled for 'the
six days past without so much as a
figure on paper. It would have been
useless to furiiish him with paper
and pencils, his memory was found
to be unerring, , ,
He was dismissed once for using
liquor too freely and a man appoint-
ed to his place who used pencil and
paper. The first week the pencil and
paper man made over a dozen errors,
and Mullin got. his job back.
So remarkable is the power of
memory in some men that it seems
an uncanny mental acquisition. Prob-
ably the most remarkable eiample of
the kind was the ability of the cele-
brated chess player, Paul Murphy, to
play a dozen games of chess at one
time blindfolded-that is, playing the
games simultaneously without look-
ing at the chess board, the moves ,be-
ing called to him by number and be
calling back his reply.
EjPEN‘SIVE EATING.
“Your husband is very fond ofluxi
.urious eating, isn't he?" said one WO-
man. .
“Yes," replied the other. “If there
is such a thing as reincarnation, I
fancy he will turn into a moth}?
ANIMALS THAT WORK.
Some oi the. wasps are. paper-mak-
ers: the spiders are spinners and the
worms are weavers.
'lbe nuts are indefatigable workers
and have a well-organized system of
labor. ' ,
Certain species of East lndian nuts
are. lmriiculturlsts; they raise mush»
rooms. upon which they feed their
young.
The toes are. expert buildershhcir
cells are so constructed as, with the
the largest size rooms and the least
the largest sie rooms and the least
possible loss of wall spaces.
So also are the ant-lions, whose
tunnetahaped traps are exactly cor-
rect in conformation, as if they had
been made by the most skilled archi-
tects of our species with the aid of
the best instruments.
The beaver is an architect, engin-
eer and wood-cutter; he builds houses
and cams watercourses with the in
genuity and despatch that-would do
crad‘t to human hands and brains.
We all lfIlOW what it means to "work
like a beaver." " '
’l‘he spiders are. skilled spinners.
Their webs of great variety and intri-
rate pattern are in reality marvels
of constrilctlon. Each is made to
eerie the combined purpose of a trap
and a castle—Our Dumb Animals.

WONDERFUL WAR TELESCOPES.
The Germans have adopted several
ingenious devices to cope with prob-
iems'i" not foreseen at the start of the
war, such as armored car destroyers,
quick-tiring guns on motorcycles, ca.
nal gun-boats, and other similar in-
ventlons. A wonderful stereotele-
scope. produced by the famous firm
of Boise deserves inclusion. Every
battery of German artillery is pro-
vided with one. it is a remarkable
instrument, which can‘ the used be-
hind cover out of sight of the enemy.
The outstanding features are two
long slender arms rather like the an-
tennae ‘of aansect. Thbugh abso-
lutely invisible at a very short dis-
tance ,the antennae can give the bid-
den operator at very extensive view.
To insure the accurate~dropping of
bombs from aeroplanes, the Germans
{have an alr~gun appliance which push-
es the bomb out from the back of the
aeroplane with the same velocity as
that at which the aeroplane is flying,
thus doing away withihe curve with
which the bomb would fall it merely
dropped by hand. Quite a number of
small apparatus are capable of trans-
mitting messages a distance of thirty
miles, "but another ingenious method
of signalling is to blow puffs of a
powderlchalk through the engine ex~
haust.
The Krupp illuminating projectile
is a shell containing two magnesium
bodies filled with parachutes, he that
at night time it illuminates the
ground over which it hangs for a few

I RUSSIA’S MiGHTY RIVER.
The Sluggish Volga is Three Times
as Long as the Rhine.
In Russia the rivers are large and
sluggish, owing to their great length
and slight fall. The Volga is the long-

as the Rliineuyet its total fall is only
a little'over 800 feet.
"the peat bogs in the Valdai hills,~
where it takes its rise, are only 7501
feet above sea level, while Astrakhan,
at the mouth, is sixty five feet below.
the level of the sea.
The Russian fondly speaks and
sings of it as "Matushka Volga," or
“Little Mother Volga,” in gratitude,
no doubt, for the bounteous supply of
fish, caviar,_and game as well as comi
forts and pleasures afforded by this
historic stream which plays so im
portant a part in the economic life of
the nation“
The products of Asia aim Europe
