MANS MOST SENSITIVE POINT.

The tlp Of the tongue possesses the
most PEI feet sense OF touch. lac I'm
ct hair Is felt upon its surface, and
even when the fingers fail to ascertain
the qualities OF certain bodies,
the tongue Immediately recognizes
them. The relative sensibllity OF var
iOus parts of the body is best meas
urcd by means Of pair OF coEhpasses,
thepoints of which are tipped with cork.
The tip Of the tongue can distinguish
two distinct impressions when the
compass points are only half line, or
the twelfth of an inch, apart, the tip OF
the finger when they are one line apart.
Other spots vary still more widely;
this distance at the lips Is two lines;
the tip Of the nose three lines; the
cheek, five lines; palm of the hand, five
lines; forehead ten lines; back OF the
hand IA lines; chest, 20 lines back
and thigh 80 lines. II, however, this
experiment Is repeated with a pair OF
cumpasses capable by slight pressure Of
pricking, 1t will be found that there is
no corresponding difference between
the parts in their sensibility to pain.
On the contrary, in places where the
sense OF touch Is most keen, the sense
o. pain is in the first instance at least
deadened, and the parts most callous in
discriminating the double touching
points are by no means the least alive
to the sensation excited by their pres
sure. The tip of the tongue has so
times the tactile discrimination Of tho
arm, but the arm Is more sensitive to a
sharp point, applied in moderate pres
sure to the skin, than either the tongue
or the finger, and is at least as alive to
the presence OF very light body.
hair or feather, drawn along the sur
face. Curiously enough, the right
hand, which is more sensitive TO touch
than the left, is less sensitive to tenn
perature. II the two hands are dipped
in two basins of water at the same
temperature the left hand will feel the
greatest sensation of heat.-Cincinnatl

TALKING WITHOUT WIRES.
Practical Working OF the Radiophont
Explained.

In Pearson's Magazine c. Montgom-
cry McGovern describes at length the
the new invention for talk
ing to persons miles away without the
use of wires. The general principle OF
operation is described as follows.
At the sending point-let US suppose
it is lighthouse-is a sound-proof
telephone box. On the table In this
telephone box there are four ordinary
transmitters instead of the single
tTansmitter in common usage, and the
four pairs Of wires that run from these
transmitters extend to the back of an
ordinary searchlight placed Just out
side the box, the wires first passing
through small knife switch" and
through small resistance box and
regulator" on their way to the search
light. Now snpposing the person it Is
desired to talk to is the captain of an
Incoming steamer which is some two
miles away. There Is an ordinary
telephone box In the pilot-house OF the
ship, where instead Of the wire" tele-
phone receiver there hangs on the wall
of the box a circular, concave mirror.
in the center Of which is fixed small
glass bulb-shaped like the glass Of a
thermometer-the glass bulb being half
filled with earbonized hlament. The

TREATMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS.
Discovery That viii Prove Valuable In
Early Diagnosis of the Disease.


In an interesting article in The indie
pendent on the medical congress at
Paris, where nearly 1000 doctors were
in attendance, about 500 from the Unit
ed States, DR.. James J. Walsh says: 1t
is encouraging to note with how much
more confidence medical men look up
en- tuberculosis than they did only
few years ago. The new medical con-
fidence in the power to treat the dis
ease is not begotten of any trust in'new
drugs. Certain compounds of arsenic

Europe are, it is true, very highly
recommended by trustworthy OBJ
servers, but the realization has come
that in the sanitarium treatment of
tuberculosis lies the key of the mystery
Of the therapeutics of the white
scourge of the north" Not drugs, but
fresh air, suitable food in abundance
and properly regulated life are the
iong-sought-for panacea. The doctor
no longer advises the tuberculosis pa
tient to give up his occupation and
take plenty of exercise in the open air.
Exercise especially OF times of high
temperature, will almost surely be
harmful. Every moment OF the day is
regulated. Rain or shine, long hours
ere passed in the open air, the sleeping
apartment is open to the air at night,
all exercise is forbidden whenever the
temperature is above normal, and the
diet is SO arranged that the intake OF
food materials shall mo~e& than COM

consumes.

Governor John d. Sayers that mes

Galveston has not been heard from

indicate that the property destruction

estimated at $500.
Houston also suffered severely. but
while many buildings were ruined and
a number of persons injured the loss
of life is not large.

A cyclone of vast sweep augmented
the storms fury today. Towns along
