THE EYE AND THE EAR.
How selerce Beats Nature In These Two
Organs.

How sclerce Beats Nature In These Two
Organs.
The eye and the ear have long been
regarded as maryels of mechanism,
quite the most wonderful things in
the world But compared with the im-
plements OF d present day laboratory,
the sensitlyeness Of all human organs
seems gross enough. says Harper's
Magazine A Photographic plate
coupled with a telescope, wiz reveal
the presence of millions Of stars whose
light does not affect the retna in the
least. The microscope, too. with its
revelations Of the world of the infinite
~ small, tells MS how crude, aftei
al. is this most delicate Of the senses.
Indeed, we may liken it to a piano.
where only "A single octave, towards
the middle, sounds. From the ultra
violet to the lowest reaches OF the
spectrum is a range of some nine oc-
taves Of light variations, of which,
save for our new mechanical senses,
we should have never been conscious
of but one.
The ear hears little Of what is going
on around us. BY means Of a micro
phone, the tread of a fly sounds like
the tramp of cavalry Our heat sense
is very vague; we need a variation of
at least one-ffth of degree on a
thermometer to realize any difference
in temperature. Professor Langley's
little bolometer will note the differ
ence Of a millionth of a degree. Il is
100000 times as sensitive as our skin

The following incident seems too
remarkable TO be true, and yet it is
vouched for by a writer whose word
should not be doubted Two robins
were trying to teach their little one
to fly. 1t attempted to cover too great
a distance and fell to the ground. My
little boy caught it and l told him
tc put it on the roof of our side porch.
Then he and I watched to see what
the old birds would do They hut-
tered about the yard for a while ana
then flew off We waited for them to
return, but they did not, and l had
just made up my mind that they had
deserted the young one when l saw
them coming, accompanied by third
old one. They few directly to the
roof of the porch, and I saw that one
o. them had a piece Of twine in its bill.
And what do you suppose they did
next? If I had not seen it I never
would have believed it. Two of them
caught hold of the Irvine, one at each
end. and the little one caught the
middle of it in his bill Then they

For moment she stood still, irreso-

breeze, blowing in that direction again
bore her husbands voice to her, and
she strained her ears to catch the

others to her caused the scalding tears

Priscilla heard, and her breath came
and went in quick sobs of relief; her

great flood Of thanksgiving poured in
upon her soul She realized it all now,
and understood. Gathering their child
closer in her arms, she turned and Ged

Ten minutes later Jim came in, and
his wife's unclouded welcome-the first

He disappeared for a moment to
change his linen for dinner, and Pris-

A man has been found who is wor-

figure that surmounts the dome Of the

that 1t is rather hard on a woman to
put her out in the cold and up ever so

d. ~ 80 Gnlllotlned

Most people believe that the inventor
OF the gulllotine persisted by means of
his own invention. AS matter of
fact, Dr. Joseph Ignatus Guiilotin. a
medical member Of the Tiers Etat, who
had adopted an English instrument
(the Halifax Maiden) as means OF
making the death penalty equal for
all, died peacefully in Paris in 1914,
at the age Of seventy-six. The common
blunder was probably caused by an
entry in the annual register on this
day in 1894, to the effect that j. 3. V.
Guiliotine, NJ. D., of Lyons. was exc
cuted lately. 1T is an extraordinary
thing that he should die by an instru-
ment Of his own invention. He died
with great reluctance, and declared
that when he produced his instrument
to the world it was from motives Of
humanity alone" This alleged motive
was founded on fact, but the date OF
his death and its manner were as i'm.
agnary as the initials prehxed to hh
name. -Lonlon Daily News.
