Seneca, the great Roman philosopher, was able to repeat two thousand disconnected words after having heard them once, in precisely the same order in which ttrey were given to him. Once an author composed a lengthy poem' As was the custom, he read it in public and received the plaudits of the crowd. Seneca was present and when the applause had died down he arose and denounced the author as a plagiarist. He declared that he, Seneca, had written the po"-, and to prove it he recited it word for word' Then he chatlenged the author to do likewise. To his mortification, the poet did not know his own Poem. Whereupon Seneca admitted that the whole thing was a joke.
