Testing the Sense of Touch.
parnste;n,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 pur-
pose a pair Of compasses is taken,
whose points, somewhat blunted, are
placed at certain distance from each
other on 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. If the
points are, placed on the fore
arm in the direction of its length
at the distance of 1.5S inch
the sensation is a double one, but 20
soon as the distance is reduced to lis
inch the contact is felt rs single point
and the person experimental on feels
considerably surprised on opening his
eyes wien 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 extin-
guished when only 1884 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 brought slowly over the skin
to the lips, sensation is experienced
as though the points we're being sepa-
rated from each other. The skin of
the back has the dullestsense of touch,
since when the points are at a distance
of 236 they are still perceived as
single touch. It is quite astouish-
ing how greatly the distance between
the two points must be increased on
the back before we are clearly con-
scious of double impression. Weber
explains these facts by assuming that
the terminal limits Of nerve fibre
are much smaller than sensory circles,
so that the latter always contain a
great number of isolated nerve tibres.
If two terminal limits are excited, and
if certain number of isolated fibres
unexciteu lie between them, the i'm
preston is only single one. A curl
GUS illusion of touch is seen when the
first and second fingers and pea is
picked up between them in an unnat'
ural poison. The impression is par
ticularly strong that the hands is hold.
ing two peas. and the illusion is especi'
ally powerful when the pea is rolled
back and forth between the fingers.

THE WEAVER


An angel laid shuttle filled ~
With threads of purple and gold,
Within maiden's hands, and said:
"Weaye fast, nor idle fingers fold;
Weave well, and when thy task Is done
A crown OF glory will be won"
The weaver tossed the shuttle through
Her web with ceaseless food and flow,
And fast the wondrous fabric grew,
While rare its colors gleam and glow;
So sweet the genial task each day
She sang some gladstone roundelay.
Her fairy web and echoing song
Called stately youths and maidens fair
Around her; still they tire]ess throng,
For web and weaver both were fair,
rhess careless idlers, lingering by, .
In sport the mystic shuttle ply.
Oh, pain and grief her thread is frayed,
Its wondrous hues are changed and din
Bv idle hands that careless played, T
And voices aocked her souls swet
hymn.
With tears her eyes are clouled DER, W.
Her husky voice could sirg no more.
At last the watchers look to spy, ~'
Why all 50 still the weaver grew,
And why the Loom had ceased to ply,
Or why no more the shuttle flaw.
No crown the poor dead weaver won;
Her weaving was too poorly done.

The anxiety in Sheffield about their
trade with America is founded upon
very good reasons. 1t appears that
during the three months ending Sep
TENDER Bird, their exports to this coun-
try their exports fell off over $25O,OOO
compared with the corresponding
period of 1875, the decline having been
from about $915, 900 to about $685., 900
The previous quarter this year exhibited
q decline of almost precisely the same
amount, $3.50, 900, and this sort of thing
has been going on steadily for four
years past. The decline is in three of
the chief branches Of Sheffield industry
steel, cutlery and files. In the tool
trade heretofore showing an equal de-
cline, the export this year show q slight
increase. If this decline goes on much
longer the entire Sheffield export trade
to America will be annihilated, and for
the reason IS plainly stated in Lon
don contemporary, that Americans are
now manufacturing their own steel,
cutters tools. and ali kinds Of hard
ware.

The Bishop and the Bees.

We find the following good story in a
foreign journal: A French bishop,
being about to make his annual vista
ton, sent word to certain curate,
whose ecclesiastical benefce was ex-
tremely triAing, that he meant to dine
with him, at the same time Nesting
that he would not put himself to any
extraordinary expense. The curate
promised to attend to the bishops sug-
gestion; but he did not keep his word,
for he provided most sumptuous en-
tertainment. His lordship was much
surprised, and could not help censuring
the conduct of the curate, observing
that it was highly ridiculous in man
whose circumstances were so narrow,
to launch out in such expense, nay,
almost to dissipate his annual income
in single day. "Do not be uneasy on
that score, my lord" replied tie curate,
for can assure you that what you
now see is not the prudence of my
curacy, which l bestow exclusively upon
the poor" "Then you have patrimony,
sir?' said the bishop. CHOW, my lord"
"You speak in riddles," rejoined his
lordship; chow do you contrive to live
in this manner" "My lord, I have a
convent of young damsels here who do
not let me want anything" "Howl
you have a convent?' I did not know
there was one in the neighborhood.
This is all very strange, very unac-
countable, Mr.. Curate." "You are
jocular, my lord" "But come, sir. 7
entreat that you would solve the eng
ma; I would fajn see the convent"
$50 you shall, my lord, after dinner:
and promise that your lordship will
be satisfied with my conduct"
Accordingly, when dinner was over,
the curate conducted the prelate to a
large Enclosure, entirely occupied 1y
bee hives, and pointing to the latter,
observed, "This, my lord, is the con-
vent which gave us dinner; it brings
me in about eighteen hundred livres a
year, upon which live very comfort
ably, and with which I contrive to en-
tertaln my guests genteely." The sur
prise and satisfaction Of the bishop
may be imagined.
