DiSORDERED HEARING.
Disturbing Influences Which Cause tn
Senses to Act AbnormaIly.

Disturbing Influences Which Cause tho
Senses to Act AbnormaIly.
The senses, in their normal action, never
deceive; but they are all liable to disturb
ing influences Of various kinds, which cause
them to act abnormally. They may be
painfully exalted in sensiblity, or the organs
of sense may be so blunted as to become
partially or wholly incapable of performing
their usual functions They may even give
rise to sensations that are absolutely false.
The eye may ''see' bright lights, beautiful
scenes, forms of familiar friends or monsters
of hideous shape-see them as clearly as we
see any thing-and yet the apparent objects
be wholly unreal.
Disorders of hearing are the most COM
mon of all. Ringing, tinkliug, rumbling,
roaring or beating-as of an audible pulse
are heal d in various disturbed states of the
system. This is a frequent result of the
misuse or overuse of drugs, as by the large
doses of quInine taken in malaria False
voices may be heard, so distinct that the
person does not at once suspect their oo-
jectlve unreality. These Authorizations may
connect with an unsound state of the brain,
but they may be wholly independent of it.
The celebrated DIR. Macnsh when suffer-
ing from fever, had Authorizations of sight
and hearing combined. He says: 81 was
broad awake; my eyes were closed, and yet
saw with perfect distinctness the whole
scene going on in the theater-Ducrow, per-
forming his wonders of horsemansh;p, and
the assembled multitude, among whom rec

opened MY eyes the whole scene vanished;
when | closed them it instantly returned.
But though / could thus dissipate the spec

The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal

Burns has built his own working model.
and all steamboat men who have seen it
pronounce it an assured success. As
steamships are now built, the propeller
screw is fastened at the end of rigid
shaft which extends from the en- gines back
through the stern of the ship, and when
the screw revoives the tendency is to move
the vessel straight ahead or straight
backward, the direction of the ships
movement being controlled by the rud.
der. The latter acts very gradually in
changing the ships course, SO that one OF
the large ocean steamers has to travel
nearly two miles in order to get itself
turned around. Mr.. Burns' invention dis.
pens IS with the ruddsr, and puts in it's
place strong iron frame swinging Just
like rudder on an upright shaft, but
with the propeller screw noun ted in it.
This frame can be swung around by the
man at the wheel, in like manner as a
rudder, but when it swings the screw
swings wi, b it, and, of course, in SO doing
changes the direction of its power, SO that
it no longer pushes the ship directly
ahead. For instance when it is desired
TO make a quick, sharp turn in the direc i.
ton the ship is moving, the frame, like a
rudder, is swung around till it stands at
right angles with the vessels keel.
The screw continues to revolve,
and, of course, It's entire force is
applied to the work of pushing the
stern Of the vessel s deways, without con-
trlbutng anything to the forward motion.
By this pethod. it can be readily UNDER
stood, ship which a rudder would not
turn in mile, can be turned in twice her
own length. The question will at once
suggest itself, how is the motion commu /.
nicated to the screw during its sudden
shifts of position. Simply enough. The
upright shaft on which the frame swings,
and which corresponds with a rudder
post is revolved by the ships engines,
and the motion is contributed to the
screw by bevelled gearing on this up
right shaft, around which the proneller
swings with perfect freedom. Mr.. Burns
is not a capitalist, and the question as to
how to introduce his sinven5ion into the
shipy ards has not yet been deternin ed
