Psychology in Drawings

Bold and shy children may represent two fundamentally different psychological types. W. Lemcke, German psychologist, has made a study of the drawings of second and third grade children classified by their teachers as belonging to these groups. In every case it was found that the “shy” youngsters preferred the brightest colors, used complementary colors and sharply delineated the objects in their drawings. In the drawings of the bold children, on the other hand, combinations of uncomplementary colors predominate. Blends of violet-brown were frequently used, darker colors were generally preferred, the general impression of the pictures was dark or dull and the objects were indistinctly outlined. The two types apparently see the world differently--the shy children with a sharper eye for detail.

Octopus Has No Terror for Daring Fishermen

Few people would care to take liberties with a tiger, but still fewer would tackle an octopus with their bare hands. Some of the fishermen of southern Italy have a method of cap“terror of the seas” which volves this, and seem to think nothg of it They grip the creature between the head and the body, and are able, by a peculiar twist, to turn it inside out, thus rendering it harmless. But the methods employed by some native divers in the Pacific are stranger still. They will allow an octopus to put its tentacles round them until the creature is only attached to the rock by two of them. Then the diver jerks away the remaining tentacles, and he and the octopus come to the surface together.

The auctioneer held tip a battered fiddle. “What am I offered for this antique violin?” he pathetically inquired. “Look it over. See the blurred fingermarks of remorseless time. Note the stains of the hurrying years. To the merry notes of this fine old instrument the brocaded dames of fair France may have danced the minuet in glittering Versailles. Perhaps the vestal virgins marched to its stirring rhythms in the feasts of Lupercalia. Ha, It bears an abrasion--perhaps a touch of fire. Why, this may have been the very fiddle on which Nero played when Rome burned.” cents,” said a red nosed man in the front row. "It's yours!” cried the auctioneer cheerfully. “What next?"--Cleveland Plain Dealer.
