ACUTE SENSES OF THE SAVAGE
Scientific View Of Their Alleged Supor1.
-

| OBi0ntlGo View Of Tholr Alleged Super"
GRITTY to Civilized Men.
In his last lecture on the Senses OF
Primitive Man. w. H.. r. Rivers dis.
cussed the acuteness of hearing in saw
ages.s In this respect none Of the Tor
res Straits natives were superior t5
one n the Europeans tomr osing the,
expedition, while lne majority were
inferior. No great weight, however,
could be attached to the observations.
because all the people were divers-an
occupation that certainly damaged the
ears to some extent. To investigate
their range of hearing a Cations whis-
tie was used, and it was shown that.
they could hear very high notes. Their
sense Of smell was tested by means OF
series of tubes containing solutions.
of varying strength, Of odorous sub
stances like valerian and camphor, and
the results, while not altogether salts
factory, tended to show they had no
marked superiority in this respect over
the members OF the expedition. With
regard to taste it was very difficult to
get information, as the natives, natur-
ally enough, did not like strange OBJ
tects being put into their mouths. One
fact. however, was noticed, which was
interesting when it was remembered
that sweet and bitter were probably
our most definite sensations and that
was the complete absence Of any word
for bitter. For the sense of tempera-
ture the data were very scanty, but It
was found that the natives had pointa
on their skin specially sensitive to cold
exactly as was the case with Euro
peans. AS to touch, when tested to see
how close the points OF pair Of COM
passes must be put on the skin before
they ceased to be felt as two, their
sensitiveness was in general better
than Europeans. but there was always
the doubt whether they we're really
able to bear pain with more fortitude.
However, the conclusion that the Muir
ray islanders were distinctly less SEN
sitive than the Europeans in the expe-
dition was supported not only by their
subjective statements, but also by OBJ
ject tests depending on the conditions
Of the blood pressure. In the discrim-
ination of weight it was curious that
these natives, who had no abstract
idea OF weight and no word to express
It, and who, moreover, could have had
no practice, were more accurate than
practiced European. Finally Or. Riv-
ers, while commenting on the defective
knowledge of some Of the senses he
had treated and on the absence of COM
parative data, concluded that in gen.
eral the sense organs of the savage
were not markedly superior to those Of
the normal Of average European. and
that the recorded instances OF appa-
rent extraordinary acuteness were to
be explained by his habits Of observa-
ton and specialized knowledge.

scducer Got His Deserts.

Captain Frederick j. Mills, late lieu-
tenant governor OF Idaho, was recently
acquitted OF the charge Of murder in Salt
Lake. The jury was out only a quarter
of an hour, just long enough to elect a
foreman and take a ballot. Such find
ing was expected by everyone aud the an
nounccment OF the result Of the ballot VAS
not followed by anything sensational.
Mills was charged with the murder OF
John e. omelvcny, chief engineer of the
Oregon Short Line, in that city, October
3, last The evidence showed that while
the defendant was absent serving as an
officer in the volunteer army Of the United
States his wife and 0melveny became
criminally intimate. The defendant
learned of these facts on the day OF The
tragedy, his wife making a full comics.
sion. The killing followed. The defend.
ant pleaded the Utah statute, which justi-
iies a husband who kills his wife's be-
duccr, and also set up the plea OF in.
sanity. Mills will probably return to
Idaho in few days. His wife remains in
salt Lake.

id G.. Colson, who was colonel of the
Fourth kentucky regiment, for murder on
two counts. The first charges the willful
murder of Lieutenant Ethelbert Scott,
one of the principals in Tuesdays triple
tragedy, and the other with the murder
of Luther w. Demarree, one OF the by.
ISLANDERS who was killed. The grand jury
was granted further extension of time
and it is understood that more testimony
is to be heard as to the killing of Charles
Julian, the other bystander. Colson's at
torneys will ask for bail and Colson will
testify. Among those who have volun-
teered their legal services in Colson's de-
fense are Congressman Bailey of Texas,
Congressman Houck of Tennessee and
Attorney General A. r. Mynatt OF Ten
nessee.
Colonel Colson's friends expected only
a manslaughter charge. The weapons
used by the combatants were turned over
to the court. Colson's mail from all over
the country, as well as from Washington
City, Kentucky and Tennessee, is very
heavy Many society women have writ
ten him words Of sympathy. Some are
strangers Colson is batchelor and
largely interested in business in Kentucky
and Tennessee.

Bicycles Lighter In Weight.

Several hundred Of the leading manufac-
turers Of bicycles, bicycle accessories and
bicycle sundries, not TO speak OF a score
or more makers of automobiles, are rep
resented by large exhibits at the fifth
annual bicycle show, which will be for
mally opened tonight in Madison Square
Garden, New York. The big amphitheater
has been divided into $50 spaces on the
main floor, devoted exclusively to bicycles
and automobiles, with several hundred ad-
ditional spaces on the first balcony in
which are displayed bewilderins variety
of contrivances and luxuries for bicycle
riders The advance guard OF mlnufac-
turers and dealers has been here for the
last few days and the crowd at the open
ing promises to be record breaker. The
display Of models Of bicycles for 1900 show
many radical changes and improvements.
The machines are much lighter than those
shown last year, the difference in weight
being particularly noticeable in the chain

New York, Jan. 23.-The financier
says:
The New York clearing house banks
added no less than $ll $4,000 to their
cash holdings last week, bringing the to-
tai cash on hand to $275,5i6,200, an
amount larger than they have had in their
vaults for months past. The surplus re-
serve fund rose about seven and One-half
millions of dollars and stands at present
at $24, ,ls4, 1915. This contrasts quite sharp
ly with the actual deficit existing 90
days ago.
The rapid recovery is due Of course to
the return Of money from the interior and
to the disbursement Of treasury funds
into active channels OF commerce.
Counting the fifteen millions of gold ex-
ported it appears that no less than $46,-
100000 in cash has come into New York
banks in six days. The fact that surplus
reserves are correspondingly larger is due
to the growth of deposits which are about
twenty seven and half millions heavier
than two months ago This, of course, nee
essitates enhanced cash reserve.

Representative Jones that while vancou.

pital in the state of Washington he will
advise no appropriation for a hospital,

all. Mr.. Jones stated he will still work
with the committee in an endeavor TO Sc
cure a favorable report on his bill for a
hospital.
