normal, and the increased superiority In
one direction Is lost by inferiority in an-
other.
But there are many trades which afford
abundant evidence that the sense Of touch,
at any rate In certain directions, can be
largely developed. For instance, the oon-
noisseur Of china relies much more on an
almost iInpercepable difference Of feeling
In the texture than Oh his eyes to discover
the gehuinessss OF any piece.
The blind beggar esrn very soon discern
between different metals merely ly the
sense Of touch, and, in fact, the education
OF the blind affords remarkable instance
OF the Development Of this sense. In Ger
tain manufactures the skilled workman
knows entirely by this sense when a mix
