a discerner is blind person OF the accents Of
speech, that through the voice he fancIes he can
see the soul. FROM this idea thew form notions
of character that often lead them into erroneous
conclusions. BY practice, the discriminating
power Of the ear may be carried to the highest
degree Of perfection.
The success Of thieves and gamblers depend
upon its qulckness. Since the money has been
recoined, the regularity with which each piece is
struck gives them uniformity Of sound that is
truly remarkable: Bankers quickly discover the
least deviation from the proper tone, by which
they readily detect the counterfeit In the toss

ence in the sound whether 1t falls upon one side
or the other. Pye-men are furnished with co.
verng to their baskets made of smooth plate
Of metal, BY which they take IN the unwary, as
they readily tell which side is uppermost BY the
sound upon the plate, though concealed by the
hand. The atmosphere is the grand medium by
which sound is conveyed. though recent dscose
res prove that other bodies conduct it with great
er expedition, as in the instance vi vibrating
tuning fork, to the stem Of which is attached a
packthread string; on the other end being wrap
ped round the hnger, and placed In the chamber
of the ear, the sound will be- audibly conveyed
to the distance OF two hundred yards. though not
perceptible to any bystanders. Miners, in Dor.
ing for coal, can tell by the sound what substance
they are penetrating; and a recent discovery Is
that of applying a listening tube to the breast to
detect the notion Of the heart. The quickness
which some persons possess in distinguishing the
smaller sounds, is very remarkable. A friend
of the writer has declared he could readily per.
celye the motion Of flea, when on his night.cap,
Inv the sound emitted by the machinery OF his
leaping powers. However extraordinary this
ma, appear. we find a similar statement is given
in the iDsentStis work upon insects, by Kirby and
Spence, who say, IL know of no other insect,
the tread of which is accompanied BY sound, ex.
cept indeed the flea, whose steps, lady assured
me she always hears when it passes over her n'gh
cap, snd that it clacks as it it was walking IN
pal,ens!"
II we can suppose the ear to be alive to such
d.licatc vibrations. certainly there is nothing IN
the way Of sound too difficult for it to achieve.
