Tho NriCration of Brain..

A medical authority asserts that a
post-mortem examination of tho fin
gers of a blind man discloses, at the
tips, a deposit identical with the gray
matter of the brain. It has for years
been a noted fact that blind people
become marvelously apt in detecting
things with their fingers, and thin
statement gives rise to the query just
what is brain matter, and how does il
act? This authority seems inclined to
the belief that nature compensates for
the loss of sight by transferring to the
fnger-tips some of the perceptive mat
ter of the brain, and this accounts for
the supersensitiveness of the touch of
people of defective vision. Blind per-
persons who perform no manual labor
have very delicate hands and finger
tips, and there may be some truth in
the theory of a brain migration. It is
quite as plausible, however, to believe
that there are in the fnger-tips latent
cells that develop when the necessity
for them presents itself Indeed, this
seems much more likely than that there
is any actual transference of brain
matter from one part of the body to
another.-N. Y. Ledger.

The Dogs Bark Has Become More Exs
preSsive His Culture Advanced.
The most curious imitation which we
find in dogs is us to the measure of ex-
preston to which they have attained
Among the savage forefathers of the
modern dog the characteristic OF all
their utterance was, to great extent,
involuntary, and once begun the out
cry was continued in mechanical
manner.
The effect of advancing culture on
the dog. however, has been gradually
to decrease this ancient undif-
ferentiated mode OF expression by
bowling and yelping, and to
replace it by the much more speech
like bark There is some doubt
whether dogs possessed by savages
have the power of uttering the sharp,
specialized note which is so character
istic Of the civilized form of their
species.
1t is clear, however, that if they have
the power of thus expressing them
selves they use it but rarely. On the
other hand, our high-bred dogs have
to a great extent lost the power to ex-
press themselves in the ancient way.
Many of our breeds appear to have be-
come inca pable of ululating. There is
no doubt but the change in the mode
of expression greatly increases the
capacity of our dogs to set forth their
states Of mind.
If we catch high-bred dog-one
with wide range of sensibilities,
which we may find in breeds which
have long been closely associated with
man-we may readily note five or six
varieties of sound in the bark, each of
which is clearly related to a certain
state of mind. That of welcome, of
fear. of rage, of doubt, and of pare fun
are almost always perfectly distinct to
the educated ear, and this, al Though the

shed and got pan of shelIed corn. He
sat down on a bench at the cabin door,
rammed down couple of charges of
powder and poured handful of corn
in each barrel. He put on percussion
cap, pressed it down with the hammer,
cooked both barrels, and blazed away
at the side hill across the little gulch.

the lunar regions in an aerial car; but
he expects to bring down, the moon TIC
the reach of people whose vision ex>
tends, say, six miles from the eartfaA
The plan is to construct a, telescope
nearly two hundred feet in length.
The objective glass will have diam.
eter of something over four feet thre<
inches, the largest in, the word. The
colossal tube will be. placed horizont'
ally, and the image of the moon will
be reflected by what is termed mir
ror plane, six feet in diameter and fif.
teen inches thick. The weight would
be eighty-five hundred pounds The
special feature OF the idea is that the
image of the moon should be thrown
upon a screen placed in a hall large
enough to hold six hundred specta'
tors. Astronomers calculate that with
an apparatus of these dimensions il
will be possible to discern easily oh
