The Human Harp.
Few persons, perhaps, are aware that
they possess a pair of harps. They are
called the organs Of Corti, after their dis
coyerer, and are located In the ear. They
are estimated to have S,700 strings, being
OF course, microscopic and varying In length
from 1-50O to 1000 Of an inch. II you hold
a properly tuned violin near piano when
the r string Is struck the + violin string
will vibrate and sound too; so with all the
rest. Now, the 500 strings Of the human
ear harp have such a wide compass that any
appreciable sound In the universe has the
corresponding tone string, and the sound is
conveyed through the connecting filament
to the auditory nerve, thence to the SEN
sorium, and thus a knowledge Of the sound
is received by the mind.-LChicago Herald
Pere Hyaeinthe says of Mr.. Gladstone
