Electric Currents of the Skin.

An interesting study has been lately
made by Herr Tarchenoff of electric cur
rents in the skin from mental excitation.
Unpolarizable clay electrodes, connected
with delicate galvanometer, were APP
piled to various parts-hands, fingers,
feet, toes, nose, ear and back, and, after
compensation of any currents which oc-
CURED during rest, the effects of mental
stimulation were noted. Light tickling
with a brush causes, after a few seconds
period of latency, gradually increasing
strong detection. Hot water has like
effect, cold OF the pain from a needle
prick less. Sound, light, taste and
smell stimuli act similarly. If the eyes
have been closed some time, mere open.
ing of them causes a considerable def1ec-
ton from the skin of the hand. 1t is re-
markable that these skin currents also
arise when the sensations are merely
imagined. Mental effort produces cur.
rents varying with its amount. If per.
son is in tense expectation the galvanom-
eter mirror makes irregular oscillations
In all the experiments it appeared that
with equal nerve excitation, the strength
of the skin currents depended on the de
gree to which the part of the skin bear.

Another Big Bridge.

Encouraged by the success of the
Forth bridge, French engineers have
formed syndicate to build bridge
over the Bosphorus between Roumel
and Anadoli Hissar The plan has 6
length of 500 meters, which is to be {
single span, or half again the length
of the longest span in the Forth bridge
and the height will be 20 meters
Nothing is yet settled, but it is prob
able that the concession will eventu
ally be obtained and the connection O

At Hong Kong it is hard to get Eng
lish sailors for any sum less than 60 1Os.,
or nearly sl2, per month. In many
cases shipmasters have been obliged to
nav as high as e5. 1t is quite common
thing for the white sailors of vessels from
American and European ports to desert
at Hong Kong, Shanghai or Yokohama,
and to replace them shippers have been
compelled to seek native help. This has
given the Acknowledged individuals a
chance TO learn seafaring, and they have
succeeded SO we'll that rough estimate
by an authority on the subject places the
number of Chinese sailors on vessels IN
the Atlantic and Pacific trade at fully
90. 1000. Four ifths of the number are
rated as A, BIS, or full-iedged sailors
The remainder are confined to the ships

A Serious Defect.

Thousands of tourists, and among them
many art connoisseurs, have thoroughly
examined the bronze doors ON the east
front of the senate wing of the Capitol,
but it was reserved for horny listed son

OF American artisans. These doors were
cast at Chicopee, Mass, and are intended
to depict scenes in the early history of
the United States. Prominent in one Of

esqueness Of the surroundings enhanced,

Of answering him the pretty girl covered
her face with her hands and fed precip-

OF course this astounded the young
lover; he could not understand 1t at all;
should he interpret the maiden's conduct
as q rejectionf II so, it were better for
him to leave Posi]lipo at once. But no,
his Scotch instincts came to his rescue;

after breakfast, at which his idol did moi
appear, he sought the garden and mean

tactics he ought to pursue. Suddenly lie

once visited large high school, one
of the best in the country, with a science
teacher whose studies have won him the
respect of his fellow workers. But for
some reason, ON that day at least, he failed
to bring his own knowledge into the class
room. | heard him quizzing class Of
boys and girls on animais-not on the
animals of the woods and fields, not on
the animals before them, for there were
none, but on the edentates of South Amer
lea. An especial point was to find out
whether it is the nine banded armadillo
.novemcinctus) or the three banded ar
madillo (tricinctus) which does not dig a
hole in the ground for its nest. The book,
written by a man who did not know an
armadillo from mud turtle, gives this
piece of information. 1t was in the les
son, and the students must get it. And
on this and like subjects these boys and
girls were wasting their precious time
precious because. if they do not learn to
observe in their youth, they will never
learn, and the horizon of their lives will
be always narrower and darker than it
SHOULD have been.
Already the work of that day is blank
They have forgotten the nine banded
armadillo and the three banded, and 80
has their teacher, and SO haveI. All that
remains with them is mild hatred of
the armadillo and of the edentates in
general, and feeling of relief at being
no longer under their baleful influence.
But with this usually goes the determine
ton never to study zoology again. And
when these students later come to the
college, they know no more of science
and its methods than they did when at
the age of year they first cried for the
moon.-David Starr Jordan in Popular
