that the sense OF sight is very much like
that OF hearing as To the nature of the
motion which produces the sensation,
the difference being in the number of
vibrations required to produce the sem
satiOn in each case. The highest num-
Der of vibrations which can be perceived
by the ear is about 80, 900. while the
lowest number which can be perceived
by the eye is the quite Incompetence

has sometimes been II speculation as TO
whether it were not possible 10 have

1t will be perceived from the above that
there IS an immense gap between hear
ing and seeing. and If we had special

between the highest of hearing and the
lowest of sight. there would be not only

The work of the kindergarten is very
largely in training the senses to quick
and accurate action, principally the eye
which Is at once the most highly spec
ialized sense and the most wonderful in
the wide range of knowledge which it
Is the means of gathering for mental
digestion.

SENSE PERCEPTION.

In sensation the mind is in a state of
pasSlveness, merely the receptacle of
motions from the external world In
sense perception there is an activity of
the mind which gives us a knowledge
to be retained in memory and recog-
nlzed when the sensation is repeated
We have sensation of touch in feeling.
but we perceive hardness, softness.
heat, cold, size, form, weight These
ideas are produced by the reaction of
the mind or soul in putting together
sensations to form knowledge of
things. The sensation of light is pro-
duced by light waves upon the retina of
the eye; but the mind puts together its
sensations to form perceptions of form,
size, color, distance, etc. Without the
activity Of the mind or soul there could
be no knowledge Sense perception Is
the first step in knowledge.
The kindergarten work is all in the
line of educating sensation TO acuteness
and sense perception in rapdity and ac-
curacy of the action of the mind. Space
forbids our taking up this work in de-
tail, but any standard work on the sub
iect of kindergarten will amply supple
ment this article. Too much impor-
lance cannot be placed on the training
of all the senses during the years of in
fancy and childhood.

TIE SENSES.


The senses are five in number though
some authorities add a sixth, the mus
cular sense. 1t is now thought that all
the other senses are mere notifications
or Specifications of the sense of feel
ing. All sensation is dependent on two
states-the subjective state, state of
tension, elasticity, reactiye power of the
senSorium of the body, and the obiec-
tive state, the state of motion, of the mat
ter or ether external to the body
Feeling is produced by contact of an
external body with the skin in which
the nerves of feeling are located. This
part OF the sensorium is capable of re-
spending to molar motion, as in the
sensation Of hardness, softneSs. rough
ness. smoothne>s etc; also to molecular
motion, as in sensations Of heat and
cold.
The muscular sense is a modification
of the sense of feeling by which we are
able to Judge of weight pressure on the
body. etc, by the tension of muscular
action. The termini of these nerves.
which convey the sensations to the
brain, are located in the muscles
The sense of taste Is located in the
mouth and is produced by contact.
Liquids only can produce this sensation.
They are forced into contact by pres
sure within the mouth. This sense is
most closely related to that of feeling
of any of the special senses.
The sense of smell is entirely like that
of taste except that it is produced by
contact of gases or vapors with the SEN
sorium, which is located in the nasal
cavity. Our earliest days of infancy and
childhood are engaged in the training of
these senses and the accumulation of
knowledge through them. These are
more active in the earliest period than
the more highly specialized senses of
nearing anu slgnl.
Hearing is next higher in rank of spec
ialization. The sensorium of this sense
is in the internal ear, which is capable |
only of responding to vIbratory motion.
from 10 per second to 10000 or 10000 |
per second. The most usual medium
of communication is the atmosphere to
the tympanum of the ear, and from
that by series of bones TO the laby-
rinth, OF internal ear. in which the audi
tory nerve is situated This, too. may be
as a mere modification of the
sense of feeling, limited and specialized
Whereas the lower senses are capable
of responding to motion both molar
and molecular, the nerves of hearing
can respond only to vibratory motion

The senses are the avenues of al
knowledge. 1t is possible and many
thinkers believe probable that being
without sensation would be entirely
unconscious of existence. However
this may be, it is through our senses
alone that we gain knowledge of ex-
ternal things.

NEW YORK, Feb 1o.-share speculation
during the two hours which the exchange
| was open for business today, dragged along
slowly, without single feature of interest.
The market was perhaps the narrowest one of
the week, the fluctuations being confined
within a narrow range of q per cent. The
grangers moved within radius OF :. per cent,
ST. Paul closing at yesterdays prices, Bur-
Iington moving up Is per cent, and North
western and Rock Island decling 1s and a
per cent respectively. st. Paul was bought at
the opening, in anticipation of better show
ing for the first week OF February than for
any previous week in the year; but when the
figures were published, showing a decrease of
only So 455 com pared with the same week of
1898, the announcement seemed to give no
strength to the shares. which actually sold off
a small portion. AS matter OF fact the nrst
week of February last year was so stormy
and filled In with snow that traffic was un-
usually light. The statement of the company
is therefore not so favorable as would appear
on the surface.
OF the industrials Sugar was the only
moderately active stock, but it kept within
the "a per cent limit of the fluctuations,
closing u per cent higher than on yesterday.
General Electric shows an advance Of u per
cent and Chicago Gas 1a per cent, while Dis
tiling declined "a per cent. The uncertainty
of the situation relative to the tariff and in
ternal revenue bill restricts the dealings in
these industrials which will be affected by
the measure.
The bank statement made no impression on
the speculative fraternity, the decrease in the
reserve being expected by reasons of the
heavy subscriptions to the new government
loan from this city, and the other changes
being mainly the result Of operations in the
loan. The stock market at the close was as
firm as could be expected on such light
volume of business.
The railway and miscellaneous bond
market was dnll, but firm.
