The Limits Of Human Hearing.

New York Home Journal.
We eau do a great deal to cultivate
the ear, but We can do nothing to
extend the rangeOt sounds which the
tympauum can receive. The ear may
have great keenness Of perception,
may Lear sounds extremely small,
fietagt spd faint, and yet be always
deaf TO any noise, however loud, il il
is lower or higher in pitch than the
tympanum is made for. Various eX-
perImenLs show that about the low
est, or what in a musical instrument
ne called the deepest bass sound, con
sists of II / fluctuations in the Sc
cnnd, and the highest of rather more
than 5000. Human ears nave
not all the same compass. A party
OF young people, all with excellent
hearIng. may 90 into the meadows,
and some will hear the shrill note OF

Iaston believed that "human hearing
never extends more than note or
two above the cry Ot the common
grylinE campestris." He gives a sea e
OF sound winch he found to be in
audible 10 some ears He found that
some people could not hear the cry OF

which is four oCLavez above F in the

siders to be very rare. He believes
the whole range Of human hearing 10

highest known cries Of the In.
sects, including fully nine octaves, the
whole of which are distinctly audible
to most ears. There may, in fact. b.
no dumb animals, only their voices
may be out of our ear. 1t must be

of greeting, dealt him blow; then in some
manner, not clearly understood, he brought
him to the ground, and with his knee upon
his stomach, began choking him. No one
was near except Ruthie's little sister, Hattie,
four years old, who valiantly came to her
brothers rescue by beating Perry with her
little fists, and arousing the neighbors by her
screams who soon arrived, when Perry beat
a hasty retreat, being hotly pursued by the
citizens out of the village but was out-wind-
ed by Perry. Another citizen then mounted
a horse and overlook Perry above Lyman
Camps. The offender received a thorough
shaking, but the horse getting entangled in
the fence made his escape. All present con
