1t has been found by DR.. TAFT that the ear in
women can perceive higher notes-that is, sounds
with greater number of vibrations per second
than the ear in men. The highest limit of human
hearing is somewhere between Al, 900 and $4,000
vibrations per second. Few persons have equal
sensibity to acute sounds in both ears, the right
ear usually hearing higher note than the left.
The lowest continuous sounds have about sixteen

Chambers and Farcy.

The Tennessee State Board of Health, in its
bulletin for March, commends the health officer of
Nashville for his prompt destruction of thrss ami
mails affected with CHAMBERS.
The board calls the attention of other local au-
thorities to the importance of the immediate des-
struction of all animals affected with the disease
Chambers and farcy are two names denoting really
one disease, due to the same specific poison It
is called CHAMBERS when the air passages are af-
fected, and farcy when the skin, areolar tissue
lymphatics, and glands are most prominently in
volYed. Damp, i'll ventilated, narrow, and ILL
built stables, insufficient -unwholesome food
and excessive fatigue are the principal predspos-
ing. causes to the development and propagation
ofthe disease. 1t invariably terminates in death
whether it appears in the acute or chronic form.
Its communicability from one horse to another,
from the horse to man, and from man to man, is
now no longer questioned; hence health officers
should act with great promptness in every case,
rigidly enforcing isolation in regard to all "sus-
poets" and determination of all animals known to
be affected.
The German law directs that any horse which
has been eren an contact with glandered animal
shall be Immediately killed. This is wise When
the horse is killed, it should at once be buried
deep in plenty Of lime, and its former habitation
thoroughly disinfected, first with sulphurous acid
fumes, followed by prolonged free ventilation
All tainted food, bedding, etc., should be speedily
burned.

Coffee Eating Habit.

A correspondent of the Medical and Surgical
Reporter mentions the case of young woman of
twenty-five who had acquired the habit of eating
roasted coffee beans. Though the habit was only
of four months standing, she had eaten as much
as half pound day, and had only decreased to
ounces per day ON the earnest solicitation of
friends. The effect on her health had been that
she became pale, sallow, and nervous; the pulse
weakened, the stomach got out Of order, and,
among other symptoms, there was marked dys-
pnea in going up stairs. An attempt to stop the
habit was followed in few hours by intense
nervousness, trembling, and strong desire for
coffee.

The Port Physician at Philadelphia, DIR. H.
Lehman, has been investigating typhoid fever
there. From his figures it would seem that this
disease is more prevalent in Philadelphia than in
most large Cities and that it is steadily on the in
crease. This fact Dr.. Lehman does not ascribe to
Schuylkill water. nor to sewer gas, but mainly to
cesspooIs and to water from. contaminated wells.

The possibility of photographing in the dark
has been shown by Abney, an English expert
menter. He has succeeded in preparing plates
which are sensitive to the rays lying beyond the
red end of the spectrum-the dark heat rays
and with such plates used with rock salt lens
it should be possible to photograph bodies having
a high temperature, although that temperature
may be far below that necessary to render them
self-luminous.

PRoF. A. l.. RIGGs, principal of the
Santee Normal Training School, Santee
Agency, Neb, was in the city yester-
day, guest of Prof. Steele of the lie
Moyne Institute. Mr.. Riggs has spent
his life in the work in which he is now
engaged, Just as his father before him
did, The elder Mr.. Riggs went out to
Nebraska in 1887, under the auspices
of the American Board of Missions,
and initiated the work of educating
the Indian, devoting part of his time,
with his sons assistance, to the formu.
lation of the Sioux language, and the
preparation of a grammar and dictiOn-
airy Of it, His whole iami Y followed
his example, and all have been work
ers in the field which his son, the sub
ject of this paragraph, has cultivated
with special assiduity. OF the scope
of Prof Riggs's work, and the success
that has followed upon it, an official
circular says; "The Santee Normal
Training School, now under the charge
of the Anne lean Missionary Associa-
ton, was definitely started fifteen
years ago, in 1870, though its begin
nings were still back of that. 1t was
established for the purpose of raising
up teachers, preachers, interpreters,
and business men for the Dakota or
Sioux nation. In raising the standard
of higher education for the Indian,
our progress has necessarily been slow.
We have had to plant the very idea of
the thing in the Indian mind, and
carefully tend its growth. And now
Others are sharing with us the fruit of
these labors. Consderingthe difficult
ties to be overcome, our best hopes
have been realized in the number OF
our pupils who are or have been en-
gagged irresponsible positions as teach
ers, preachers, or government clerks.
But still more than this, we find our
success in the revolution that has
taken place in the Indian mind, now
anxiousy seeking for educational ad.
