Relations Of the Senses.

DR.. Urbanschitsch, of Vienna, has for
some time past been engaged in series
of experiments on the mutual action Of
the sense organs, and the results he has
obtained are most curious. The senses
of sight and hearing were shown by these
experiments to be to some extent de-
pendent on each other. Colored plates
were placed at distance where the col
ors could scarcely be distinguished, but
on the production Of various sounds the
colors were more readily recognized, the
colors becoming the more distinct the
higher the pitch of the same. Printed
matter could also be read in dimly
lighted room much better If the ears
were simultaneously employed in receiv-
ing sounds than in complete silence. In
like manner the activity of the eyes aid
in the recognition Of sounds. The tick
ing of watch was found to be more
easily heard in the light with the eyes
open than in the dark with the eyes
closed.
Various colors Of light were found to
vary in their effects upon the auditory
organs, red and green strengthening and
blue and green weakening them. In the
case of taste and smell corresponding
effects were observed. Light in general,
and particularly red and green, heightens
their sensitiveness, while blue and yell
low, and still moro darkness, reduce it.
If person is exposed to red or green
light he can taste, not merely with the
anterior edges Of the tongue, but with
its whole surface. There is a curious
reciprocal action between the sense of
touch and the heat sense, which, though
they have not distinct organs, are GER
tainly not identical. If the skin is
tickled with hair and the hand is then
plunged into hot water the sensation
ceases If, on the other hand, any part
Of the body is tickled, and the hand or
foot is thrust into cold water, the chilly
feeling is intensified d.-Boston Herald.

The London leper has caused, I hear,
quite scare. I have no doubt that there
has always been lots Of leprosy in the
world, but that we know nothing about
it, because the doctors give it a fine
Greek name. Why not translate all the
new Greek names Of disease into graphic
EnglishI II there were a descriptive
name that we could understand for every
malady long step would be taken to-
wards curing them. What meaning, for
instance, does the word eczema convey
to the unlearned mind? Whenever hear
doctors giving evidence to jury feel
as If they were talking in a foreign Ian
guage which nobody but themselves
can understand. It would, perhaps,
startle the world to hear that the Prince
Of Wales leper could find his match in a
palace in this city, where there is leper
high and mighty from a heraldic stand
point. She is on kissing terms with our
royalties. This illustrious person has
been nearly twenty years attacked with
the disease, which is kept in subjection
by careful daily treatment. I never
heard that she had given it to any one.
There is, however, no doubt whatever as
to the nature of her affection. They say
that the primary cause Of leprosy in her
case was the consanguine marriage Of
her ancestors. Paris Letter.

The Cause of Painting.

Chief among the causes of fainting at
tacks in churches and other places of
public meeting are overheating and i'm
purity of atmosphere. Both are to a
great extent preventable, but, though
some success has been gained in the way
Of prevention, much remains to be done
before the air in our large assembly
rooms can be regarded as pure enough to
meet the requirements of a large audi
ence. The introduction of the electric
light has brought some relief, and the
purifying effect of artificial ventilation,
as represented by the fan system and the
heated exit flue, is quite appreciable.
There is still, however, wide field open,
and the inventor of a perfect system of
ventilation for public buildings will not
only be public benefactor, but should
also reap a very substantial reward

In the army during the war, and as a
result Of the large bounties offered for
enlistment, there were adventures,
"bummers," and vagabonds of every
kind and degree besides the great mass
of devoted and patriotic citizens. This
is the class which, when the war ended,
would be sure to trade to the utmost
upon their connection with the army,
and if possible, to convert the Grand
Army into machine to extort advan-
tages of every kind for themselves and
their kind by promising their continued
political support or threatening their
opposition. Gradually this tendency
seems to have prevailed. The leader
ship has apparently passed in large part
from the true representatives of the pa
triotic and charitable impulse from
which the Grand Army sprang to those
who basely mean to use it as a machine
to secure money from the public treas
ury.-Harper's Weekly.

Yellow Shoes.

DR.. Weyl also described the case of a
young man in Munich who had been
poisoned by the yellow dyeing matter
used in coloring russell shoes. After
wearing these shoes for one week the
young mans feet were covered with
small yellow blisters, which, in the mid
die of the second week, began to spread
to his ankles. His doctor had him give
up the shoes and cured the eruptions in
ten days. The yellow leather was subse-
quently examined at the Munich Hygi-
enic institute, and was found to be satu-
rated with a dangerous yellow die. DR..

ham this morning, when he was arOus-
ed to get ready for his trip over the Nj
agra gorge. Graham's barrel Is four and
one half feet tall, bulges at the top,
where IL is twenty-five inches in diam
eter, and Is fifteen inches in diameter
at the bottom, where heavy iron
weights are fastened to keep it straight
in the water. Graham expected arrest
for attempted suicide. but his friends
smuggled him down to the Maid of the
Mist landing, where he embarked at
4:40 o'clock. The mile of whirlpool
rapids was shot in three and one half
minutes. TIE cask dashed into the
center of the maelstrom, was turned

more roughly treated, being finally

The bouyaney of the cask brought 1t
to the surface and Graham was picked
up In the river at Lewiston, five miles
from where he started, more dead than
alive. His average speed in rough wa
ter was twenty-five miles an hour.

ny Major Z. II. Scott.

Nothing strange about that! To the

tor In the trade. To me, however, 1t

"That's what 1 argue"
"What about the wholesaler who
sold to the jobber, doesn't he receive
something for his trouble?'
"He intends to make a living, no
doubt" was the terse reply.
"There's the manufacturer, he Is to

he?"
"That's what he makes shirts for, l
believer
"Yes, then there Is the raw material,

The merchant shrugged his shoulders,
gave me searching look, and in slow
and distinct manner, as If he intended
that he should not be misunderstood,

"Yes, it is," I reioined, "it is every.
