A little information on the subject of “reaction time,” or the it takes a car driver to put a decision of his brain into action, was given by Mr. Justice Callan, to an experienced motor mechanic who was giving evidence in the Auckland Supreme Court (states the “New Zealand Herald"). Asked by counsel how long he thought the average reaction tiriie was, the witness said, “About a fifth of a second.” “Jf you can do it in a fifth of a second and keep on doing it—well, you are pretty good,” remarked his Honor. He told the witness that there was a gentleman in Auckland with a special car fitted up with all sorts of gadgets for testing people'"when they knew they were going to be tested. “He has never got anybody near a fifth of a second yet,” concluded his Honor. “Winnie the Pooh,” series of books at 3/6 and 4/- each, postage extra, 3d. “New Zealand Birds and How to Identify Them,”-by Moncrieff, 7/6, postage 3d.
