Testing the sense of Touch.
Bernstein's Five Senses Of Man.

Bernstein's Five Senses Of Man.
For this experiment two persons
are required, one of whom tests the
sense Of touch of the other. For
this purpose a pair of compasses is
taken, whose points, somewhat
b.unted, are placed at a certain dis
tance from each other on a part of
the skin Of the other person. The
latter must then say, with closed
eyes, whether he feels the contact
of two separate points, or whether
both seem to be merged into one.
The result of this experiment upon
the less sensitive parts of the skin
is very surprising. II the points
are placed on the forearm in the di-
rection Of its length at the distance
of LIS inch the sensation is a dou
bic one, but 50 soon as the distance
is reduced to LIS inch the contact is
felt as a single point, and the per
son experimental on feels consider
able surprised on opening his eyes
when he sees that two points have
been touched instead of one. The
tip of the tongue is found to be the
most sensitive, the two points being
extiuguished when only 1894 of an
inch apart If the points of the
compass be placed on the cheek
near the ear, so that both can be
clearly distinguished, and then be
brought slowly over the skin to the
ips, a sensation is experienced as
though the points we're being sepa
rated from each other. The skin
Of the back has the dullest sense of
touch, since when the points are at
a distance Of 2.36 they are still per
ceived as single touch. 1t is quite
astonishing how greatly the dis
tance between the two points must
/ be increased on the back before we
are clearly conscious of a double
impression. Weber explains these
facts by assuming that the termi-
nal limits Of a nerve fibre are much
smaller than sensory circles, so that
the latter always contain a great
number of Isolated nerve fbres. II
two terminal limits are excited, and
! if a certain number of isolated fibres
unexcited lie between them, the i'm
preston is only a single one. A
/ curious illusion of touch Is seen
when the first and second fingers are
crossed and a pea is picked up be
/ tween them in this unnatural posi-
ton. The impression is particularly
/ strong tha. the hand is holding tive
! peas, aud the illusion IS especially
powerful when the pea is rolled

Dull Boys.

Do mt be discouraged. Slow
growth is often sure growth. Some
minds are like Norwegian pines.
They are slow in growth, but they
are striking their roots deep. Some
Of the greatest men have been dull
boys. Dryden and Swift were duh
as boys. So was Goldsmith. So
was Gibbon. So was Sir Walter
Scott. Napoleon at school had so
much difficulty in learning his Latin
that the master said it would need
a gimlet to get a word into his head.
Douglas Jerrold was so backward
in his boyhood that at nine he was
scarcely able to read.
Isaac Barrow, one of the greatest
divines the Church of England has
ever produced, was so impenetrably
stupid in his early years that his
father more than once said that if
God took away any of his children,
he hoped it would be Isaac, as he
feared he would never be fit for any
thing in the world. Yet that boy
was the genius of the family.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Barns andyStacks.

An eastern farmer who has been to
England says: eve in America are
very proud of our large barns, and |
have been always in tn habit of pat
ting myself on the back over what |
consider very good one at Ogden
Farm. was surprised at first to see
an almost entire absence of barns for
storing hay and grain in England,
where rain probably falls on twice as
many days in the year as it does with
us. The more | saw and thought
about 1t, however, the more came to
the conclusion that there is much to
be said on their side of the question.
They save the cost, and it is a very
considerable cost, of building hay
barns. Their stacks are far enough
apart for the rest to be saved ii one
takes fire. They are very handsomely
made, placed on wooden or iron frames
about two feet above the ground, are
considerably larger at the top than at
the bottom, and are nicely matched
with wheat-straw. Some are round
and some are square. | saw in one in
stance a very handsomely-made and
well-thatched stack Of hay containing
over one hundred tons, and on the
Earl of Warwick's Sewage Farm there
was row of twenty-five stacks, con-
tanning each about five hundred dol
lars worth of wheat, all so well-built
and so closely matched that they
might stand there for ten years with
out the least danger. Whether the
stacking Of hay in England accounts
for its superior qualify do not know,
but although the last season was an
unfayorable one, it seemed to me that
all the hay | had occasion to observe
was better than the best we usually
see at home, greener. and more savory.
Owing to the projecting top and thatch
of the stack, there seemed no appre-
ciable injury to the hay from weather
ing.

A Remarkable Case Of Trance.

A very extraordinary case of sus.
pendent animation was revealed at
No l37 Delaney street, New York a
few days ago. The victim of it is a
Swedish girl, aged %. named Anna
Froben. She was taken suddenly,
while at work, with stroke of what
was called paralysis, and fell derd to
the floor. The alarmed family called
in physician, Dr. Lindenborn, who
examined the body and pronounced
the girl dead. Her relatives were sent
for, and a brother soon arrived. By
this time the girls face had turned
blue, and there was every evidence
that she was corpse. But to every
body's establishment, the brother de-
clined to believe it, and declared that
she was only in trance and had been
subject to such fits for many years.
The friends of the girl were indignant
at this statement, and sent forthwith
for an undertaken to prepare the body
for lnterment. The man of collins and
shrouds arrived and joined with the
physician in pronOuncing the girl to
be dead beyond possibility of doubt.
lie proved it by dropping hot sealing
wax upon the breast, and as the body
gave no sign Of life it was concluded
that the undertaken was right The
body was placed on ice for the night.
In the morning the undertaken re-
turned TO complete his preparations,
when to his horror the girl suddenly
started up and exclaimed 81 am SO
cold, "a natural result of being on
ice all night. She was taken to fire
and in short time was able to con.
verse. She said her brother was right
and once before she had been laid out
for burial. The physician was recall.
ed and pronounced the case a very
remarkable one.

writer inthe American gricultur-
ist says:
When | came into possession of the
premises | now occupy, five years ago,
there was large iron-bound cask at
the back Of the house, holding some
the ladder from the roof and caught
rain water for the family washing.
The we'll water was hard and the soft
water from the skies saved a good deal
of soap and labor on Mondays. But
the use of the water from the cask
was accompanied with some difficulty.
1t had to be carried into the house by
the pailful, and this was work. In
winter it was frequently frozen, and
sometimes so hard as to push out the
bottom, and the services of the cooper
were needed for repairs. The melting
Of ice chips made slow work of wash
ing Occasionally in summer there
was a drouth, and the caSk was empty
The cask was blessing, but with many
drawbacks.
I thought cistern in the cellar
would remedy all these evils. 1t was
placed Immediately under the sink
room, in one corner, SO that the walls
had to be built on two sides only. 1t
was made about seven feet by five up
on the the inside, and the walls were
carried up four and half feet high.
oh Ioi1 in 70
wall was made double, and the inside
cemented. The whole cost was thirty
dollars. 4 pump was put in, with
about eight feet of inch pipe, which
took the water into the sink-room.
The comfort in the household of this
little expenditure was very great.
There was no exposure to the weather
on washing days, no freezing of water
and bursting of casks. There is an
abundant supply Of water for the fam
lily use for at least three months, even
if not drop of water should fall from
the skies. An overflow pipe near the

so that there is no danger of flooding
the cellar. In the absence of a good
well, should put brick partition
through the cistern for filter, and
have good drinking water. Ordinarily
cistern can be built for less money
than we'll can be dug, and the filtered
water is pure and wholesome.

The Turnip.

Ask an Englishman what crop has
been most instrumental in building up
the agriculture of the tight little
island and he will answer. the turnip.
American farmers may not expect,
perhaps, SO great returns from this
crop, for the English farmers, by rea-
son of their mild winters, are enabled
to feed the turnip to a considerable
extent in the fields where grown, thus
saving much of the expense of harvest
ing. We have not yet learned by ex-
perience the full value of turnips as an
item of winter fodder, especially for
fattening cattle, young stock, horses
and sheep. The writer has in mind a
dozen or more prominent sheep raisers
who practice feeding turnips largely
during the cold months and with uni
form success. Their flocks are always
healthy Their lambs bring the high
est price in the spring, and they find
the custom far more profitable than
feeding much grain. The famous
Scotch beef of the London markets is
nearly all produced from turnips and
straw, and, as far as we know the ami
mails mature quite as early as our
American granted beef.
