Strange But True

I: I. ll. Macdrthne

A very singular incident occur- red at the funeral of a French nobleman. At the moment the procession appeared on the en- trance steps of Blenheim palacea white dove flew down from one of the towers of the palace onto the lawn in front of the coffin. and when the procession had just reached the steps on their return after the funeral a second dove new from the lawn and alight-d on the stone parapet immediate- ly over the entrance doorway Both these birds had accompanied the deceased aboard in his private yacht, Strange but true!

Here are some remarkable feats of memory: The Iliad, with its 15,667 lines was passed down through a number of generations. before it was even written Yer that is a mere nothing compared with the transmission of th-

Vedas. The rig-Veda. with its l0l7‘

hymns, is about 4 time; .1 long as the Iliad. Memory can cul- tivated like a piece of land to yield greater returns. Talto, for example the priests in parts of India who have to know by heart the whole of the Rlg«\'e(ln. is a curious fact when we learn that writing was known in In- dia for 2.500 _\'es.r.<. Yet.

custodians of the redi traditions

have never trusted it to writing’ store so‘

many * as of words as can heads? They learn it as Ind! ancestors learnt it thousands of years ago. from the lips of teach- ers. so that the vsdic succeulon should never be broken. For eight years in their youth they are en- tirely occupied in learning this. They learn a few lines evuy day. repeat them for hours, so that the whole house resounds with noise ‘ O I 0

Going back to my own school days I can recall how we were taught to fix in our memories. historical names, dates. and events —— Eh-iglish kings, American presi- dents. and so on. And like our A. B. C's. these facts of history still stick lvith most of us. ,

we owe more to poor ohildren than we think, Columbus was a poor boy. often want to work hun- gary. Luther sang ballads in the 5treet<. to get the money for an education. Franklin used to buy a roll for a penny and eat it by him- self. Lincoln and Garfield were among the very poor. Dr. Living- ston learned Latin from a book on his loom while at work. nnily C. Johnson used to get up at 3 a. m. and do the family washing.‘ None of these persons wlled away. their time on street corners. ooun-' try stnres_ or in sports. They werej too busy. if we were as busy wet

might chwlk up some enviable. records too. 1

Of course you've heard about1 the S\lpt‘i'Stllion of the “1"irat‘
