ACUTE SENSES OF THE SAVAGE

Dsisntido View o: Their Alleged Super.
ority 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. In this respect none Of the Tor
res Straits natives were superior to
one of the Europeans composing the
expedition, while the 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 1t was shown that
they could hear very high notes. Theit
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 sRtis-
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 1t
was found that the natives had points
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 bater
than Europeans, but there was always
the doubt whether they were 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 wers to
be explained by his habits Of observa-
ton and specialized knowledge
