TOUCH DEL uSION.
4 Simple Experiment. Which Produces
Astonishing Results.

4 Simple Experiment Which Produces
Astonishing Results.
The various 'soptical illusions by
means of which straight lines are
caused to appear crooked, and objects
of equal size are rendered, to all APP
pearance, decidedly unequal, are more
or less familiar to every reader, but
there are other equally striking de-
ceptions Of the senses that are not; SO
frequently experimental with. A
French savant. says Youths Com
panion, has recently pointed out sever
al surprisingly easy ways in which we
are naisled in our perception Of heat
and cold and of pressure.
A simple and convincing experiment
of this kind may be tried in the follow
ing manner: Take two silver dollars
and place one of them upon a marble
table, or mantel, while the other is
rubbed brislly between the hands. In
this manner q slight difference Of
temperature between the two pieces of
metal will be produced.
Then ask some one to incline his
head backward closing his eyes. Lay
the warm dollar upon his forehead for
a moment, remove it. and quickly sub
stitute the cold one. You will hardly
be able to convince him that they are
of equal weight. The cold piece al
ways seems to be much heavier than
the other.
The explanation Of this phenomenon
is that the metal which has been
rubbed between the hands has assumed
nearly the temperature of the body,
and when it is placed upon the fore
head the sense of touch is affected by
the pressure alone.
But the metal which has been
cooled, being at lower temperature
than the skin, affects the sense in d
double manner, and the subject of the
experiment, not being able to distin-
guish clearly between the effects, in
stinctively ascribes the entire sensa-
ton to pressure alone.

The death is announced of Mr.. Craig,
who at one time figured in Irish social
life as the conductor OF an experiment in
CO operative agriculture on the Vande-
leur estate, at Ralahine. The expert
ment was brought to an untimely conclu-
aion by the bankruptcy of the landlord,
and the eviction Of the cooperative asso
ciation, though it owed no rent. Mr.
Craig subseq nently gave au account of
the experiment in work entitled the
"History of Ralahlne." He was ninety
years Of age when he died, was very re-
marlxable man, and warm friend Of Ire
land. Though in poor circumstances he
declined Civil List pension.

The tide of emigration to Arkan-
sas and Texas is heavier at this time
than it has been for years. The re-
porter was ut the depot this morn
ing and noticed that the Iron Noun
tain road brought in two Louisville
Il Nashville coaches bound for Tex
as points. They were deprived of
these cars at this place and many
of them went to points on the Cot
ton Belt and some over the Texas q
Pacific, while others went out on the
Transcontinental. Texas alone will
add 100000 population this season,
or all signs fail. This being the case,
we ask ourself, what are we dong
toward having some of thesr people
settle here? and the answer will be,
nothing. We should try and settle
up Miller and Bowie counties with
some of these Georgians, as we know
them to be good people.

dispatch from Indianapolis, Ind,
says; "The liquor dealers have be-

made by the prohibitlonists in Indi-

state show that 500 saloons have
been closed as the result of the op-
Grafton of the new Nicholson law.
In 100 towns and villages practical
prohibition is now enforced. The
number of saloons in the large cit
les has not been materially reduc-
ed, but in the country districts the
prohibition sentiment is very pro-
nounced." "

case to try. 1t was Rev, Bugg, who

he could not see a living in it for his
family, He was charged with disc
beying the rules, and he made a
statement that he must look to the
interest of his family before any
other interest be considered, The
discussion was a heated one but a
vote passed his character and he
was continued in service. If this
becomes a general thing it will rev.
