CmkmOvwm sensations

Sir John Lubbock in Popular Science
Sound Is the sensation produced on US when the
vibrations OF the air strike on the drum OF the ear
When they are few, the sound Is deep; Is they in
crease In number IL becomes sAr1ller and shrller
but when they reach 10000 In a second they cease
to be audible. Light Is the effect produced on us
when waves OF light strike on the eye. When TOUR
hundred millions OF millions OF vibrations OF ether
strike the retna In q second, they produce red,
and as the number Increases the color passes into
orange, then yellow, green, blue, and violet. But
between forty thousand vibrations IN a second and
four hundred millions OF millions we have no or
gan or sense capable OF receiving the impression.
Yet between these limits any number OF sensa-
lions may exist We have i've senses and some
times fancy that no Others are possible. But iL is
obvious that We cannot measure the Innate by
our own narrow Limitations.
Moreover looking at the question from the other
side, we md ia animals complex organs or sense,
richly supplied with nerves, but the function OF
which we are as yet powerless TO explain. There
may be fifty other senses different from ours as
sound Is from sight; ana even within the bounda-
ries OF our own senses there may be endless sounds
which We cannot hear, and coors as different as
red from green, OF which we have no conception.
These and a thousand other questions remain for
solution. The familiar world which surrounds US
may be totally different place TO other animals.
To them it may be rull or music which We cannot
hear, or color which We cannot see OF sc nsations
which we cannot conceive.

Tor this they headed and got their melon. But, OF
course, they did not want 10 carry &c through the
streets 10 the friends house, so they obtained a
peanut-sack from the fruit dealer put the melon
INTO IL, and started up town, eacu holding one

Anti-Pyrine In Sea Sickness.
rom the American Magazine

Ala late meeting OF the doctors Of France at
Aarseilles part Of the program was an excursion TO
Algiers. and, before they sailed, one among them
announced the preventive virtues OF antipyrfne In
sea sickness 'Now," said he, ''there b an oppor-
tunity TO test It's value In way rarely occurring
Here are hundred and nrty doctors OF US going 70
sea, not one OF whom is q sailor. Let US all take
the drug, sail across the middle sea like veterans
and enjoy Our little trip like old salts Adopted.
So every doctor armed himself with capsules OF an
anti pyrine and began TO take them as the ship
swung out Of the dock and headed for
Africa; and In half an hour afterward
that society. without exception, was lald
out. They stuck manfully TO the remedy,
determined TO give It fair play; but when they
landed In tue morning, dragged-out dilapldated-
looking set, the vote that anti-pyr1ne was q mis-
cradle del1sion In seasckness passed BY q large
vote-a strictly unanimous one. AS a temporary
relief for sick headache IL has considerable value
but it Is as insldious as chlora and even more
ducuve. All these drugs have about the same
biography. They come In with trumpet blast and
beat OF drum, heraided As absolute cure-alls;
spread themselves among the people like pesti-
lence; are eagerly seized by youthful ply sicians
and helped along, ana gradually subside out OF
public sight, leaving behind some victims TO their
power who i've and host OF graves
