Few people realize what wonderful,
delicate structure the human ear really
is. That which we ordinarily designate
80. Is. after all. only the mere outer
porch Of series Of winding passages,
which. like the Hobbies Of great build

world within Certain OF these pas
sages are full OF liquid. and their mem-
branes are stretched like parchment
curtains across the corridor at different
places. and can be thrown into vibration
or made to trcmblc like the head 81 a
drum or the surface OF . tambourinc

the fingers. Between & 40 Of these parch-
mcnt-like curtains chain OF very small
bones extends, which serves to tighten
or relax these membranes and 10 COM
