Weighing Thought.

Prof. Mosso an Italian psychologist,
may be said to have weighed thought.
He has shown by experiment that
thinking causes a rush of blood to the
brain, which varies with the nature of
the thought. Mosso proved it by bal
ancing a man in horizontal position
so delicately that when he began to
think the accession of blood to his
head turned the SCALE When the sub
ject was asleep, the thoughts or yis-
ions which came to him in dreams
were sufficient to sink his head below
his feet, and the same thing took
place when he was disturbed by a
slight sound or touch. The balance
even indicated when a person was
reading Italian and when Greek, the
greater mental exertion required for
Greek producing a greater flow of
blood to the head.

Convicts who were forced to drag

by their habit of trailing one foot

condemned to convict life in Australia
for his Fenian sympathies, had also
in after years a habit which told a
like sad story. Says a friend in his

1.-The human ear" said scientist

They can examine the interior OF the

have no difficulty seeing in the stomach
by an electric apparatus. The intes-
tines are readily enough investigated
and the bladder also.
':But the ear, as to its internal ar
rangements, is unapproachable. It is
even impossible to dissect it satisfac-
torily after death, for the reason that
the parts collapse at once when the
vital spark leaves the body. The
drum in living person bars the way
to observation, and even though it be
pierced the winding passages beyond
cannot be seen through. On the other
side of the drum are the three little
bones-the mallet, the anvil and the
stirrup-which act upon each other as
levers. The drum acts as sort of
buffer, and the mallct, Immediately IN
contact with it, conveys the sound
waves through the anvil and the stirrup
to the 'cochiea, a spiral shell-shaped
chamber just behind and above the ex-
ternal opening Of the ear. This shell
is composed of filaments of the auditory
nerve; coiled spirally and each one
erect and waving TREMENDOUSLY in re-
Spouse to the slightest waves of sound.
They carry the sound impressions di-
rectly to the BRAIN and so delicate is
their sensitiveness that the hearer per-
ceives not only the degree of loudness
but even the finest quality of a sound,
the harmony of tones, and the distance
from which it comes. The moment
that life becomes extinct however,
the spiral shell of nerves collapses and
the marvellous organ is a dead thing,
