question will in the end illustrate the sur vival of. the Attest.
 The Round Table devoted it's hour to praeticing, under MT. Grass, the musical director. programme for Recognition Day which has been changed from the Hath to the 19th a week from today.
 "Ruskin," the topic for this afternoon. Twill be discussed tomorrow, in eonnec- tion with Our Favorite Poets."
 The evenings programme began with the customary announcements by Mana ger West and a recitation by Miss Good all, after which pr. Newman, in compi- mentary language introduced Dr. John J. Tigert of Nashville Tenn. This dis tinguished gentleman is also pleasant speaker, and the subject of whose lec- lure was "Our Senses" Our experiences through the sense of temperature are en- tirely subjective. If you eat lump of sugar the saccharine substance is the cause whose effect is the sensation of sweetness. If you drink whisky you are drunk, if you eat sugar you must be sweet. The effort to 6ntangle the sweet sugar from the drunk whisky in the man who had mixed and taken the two was quite amusing, and Dr Tigert said it was not temperance, but psychology
 We are supplied with a wonderful sys- tenn of internal telegraphy. If Helmholtz is correct in his assertion that the nervous force travels 20 feet per second, then it is possible for a person to extracS a splinter before he is aware of the pain
 Odors and sounds no less than taste and touch are mental facts. Our external body is the source of the sensation.
 Dr. Tigert said the body may be fairly lkened to a great bridge with two road ways the motor and sensory nerves, from the mind to the world and vice versa. The reason why music cannot be heard in vacuum is because the at mosphere is a necessary part of the mechanism, and the sound not only is not conveyed, but really is not made.
 The young medical student who comes home and insists that the body has no soul, because he. in dissecting the body. has found no soul, has himself a soul so small and hard that it would make discordant music. if shaken in a. thim- ble. The mind the soul, never consents to bring itself under the dominion of the senses. It is that which perceives, and how can it be less?
