MEN HAVE A SIXTH SENSE.
Scientists Claim That One Human
Perception Has CerAafnIy
Been Overlooked.

1t is commonly supposed that a hui
man being has five senses sight, hear
ing, feeling, smelling and tasting. It is
now held, however, that to these must
be added sixth.
The sense Of muscular tension that we
experience when we sustain or raise a
weight Is really distinct from any or all
of the so-called five senses and is en-
titled to be considered a sixth sense, says
Success. Psychologists who have tried
to measure it, however, are confronted
by numerous difficulties Not only is it
hard to separate it's indications from
those of the sense of touch, as expert,
enced by the skin on which the weight
rests, but the feeling of heaviness differs
when the sustaining member is moved
In order to theft" the weight, as the
provincial term has IT. A recent French
experimenter avoids all this trouble by
causing the subject to hold the weight
suspended by a thread between his
thumb and forefinger. When the weight
is suddenly supported from below by
raising a board till contact is made with
it, the person who holds the weight feels
sensation, IL the weight be sufficient.
and this is entirely independent OF all
the elements that have hitherto proved
troublesome The smallest weight that
is necessary to produce the sensation is
the measure Of the muscular sense in the
person experimental upon.

ACTIVE PRELATE

Archbishop Walshs's appearance at
the kings 1evee in Dublin has set the
papers writing about him. Archbishop
Walsh is a sipgularly active ecclesias-
tic. He is an enthusiasts cyclist, and
was probably the first Catholic arch
bishop to practice cycling. He has
often been seen on his bicycle in the
early morning on the roads of Drum
condra where he has built handsome
palace as the archepiscopal residence
for the diocese. He has mastered
shorthand; he is an enthusiastic rnu-
siciar: he adnires motoring; and he
believes that bimeta1lism would be a
good thing for the Irish farmer. His
writings include a grammar Of Gregg
rfan music. An archbishop at the age
of A he has only just turned 60, Arch
bishop Walsh is watchmaker's son. q
Dublin man, and formerly was a pro-
fessor in Maynooth His selection as
archbishop of Dublin was one of the
wisest appointments ever Leo XIII
made. Previously the archbishops Of
Dublin had been almost additionally
conservative in the political leanings.
Walsh was an uncompromising nation
aIist.-Ca Catholic Transcript

WOODEN CARS AND STEEL CARS

WOODEN CARS AND STEEL CARS.
When wooden car is smashed and
splintered into little pieces no amount
Of asbestos or copper sheathing can
prevent the ruins taking fire if they
are exposed to it. The designers of
naval vessels, approaching the dangers
of fire have replaced wood and other
combustibles wherever possible on
shipboard with steel, and specified that
such as still remains be impregnated
with fireproofing compound. The
same thing should be done In the pass
enger car construction, for in the
transportation of passengers, safety is
the first consideration. In all cars op-
Grated by electricity, particularly those
running in tunnels or on elevated struc-
lures. the additional safeguard against
accidents should be sufficient to war
rant the use of steel Wrderframes and
even steel bodies. The modern Pull
man car has come to be looked upon
as practically collision-proof, as indeed
it is, but even it may be destroyed by
fire If caught in burning wreck and
once started, the large amount of wood
used in it's construction makes good
fuel. Twenty per cent. Of the weight
of the car is in the wooden under
framing. A steel underframe can be
made at a substantial saving in weight
and such construction would be
stronger and safer both from collision
and fires than the present complicated
wooden truss construction Railroad

The character and temperament Of the

Judges as in north Sch1eswig. There
we're only half the Prussian average of

where They Never Kiss.

1t seems hardly possible that there
can be nation in these civilized times
who never kiss. Yet it is fact that in
Japan husband when he bids good-by
to his wife never kisses her, but presses
her hand and bends his forehead to the
mats in sad farewell. No Jap ever
courts his loved one with the kisses
usually so dear to the British lover, nor
does the mother ever kiss her sweet
babe as she fondly presses it to her bo-
som. In Britain the salutation is COM
posed of a bow, handshaking and kiss.

In Greece the death penalty is said
to be often pronounced, but the diff
f1culty of obtaining executioners was
for long time almost insuperable. It
was at last surmounted by giving to
a murderer the choice between his own
death or acceptance Of the office Of
permanent executioner. The man lives
alone in an old tower built by Vene-
tians on an islet outside the port of
Nauplia, where necessaries are taken
to him every morning by the boat

word with him. Twice year a steam

According to William FL. Hunt, the

that island have been attacked with a

are remarkable activity of mind and

COFFEE MAKING IN 1862.
Process of That Time Was to Boil
for One Hour Until Fit
for Use.

Sir Thomas Upton has among the
treasures of his library an old cook
book, published in 1862, that gives what
is perhaps the first English recipe for
coffee, says the Detroit Free Press. The
recipe reads:
$40 make the drink that is now much
used, called coffee.
''The coffee berries are to be bought
at any druggist, about seven shillings to
the pound. Take what quantity you
please, and over charcoal fire, in an
old frying pan, keep them always STIR
ring until they be quite black, and when
you crack one with your teeth that it is
black within as it is without, yet IL you
exceed, then do you waste the oyl, and
il less, then will 1t not deliver it's oyl;
and If you should continue fire till it be
white, it will then make no coffee, but
only give you its salt. Beat and force
Though lawn sieve.
Take clear water, and boil one-third
of it away, and it is fit for use. Take
one quart of this prepared water, put in
1t one ounce of your prepared coffee, and
boil it gently one hour, and it is fit for
your use; drink one-duarter Of pint as

Invading Armies In Pant Lie.

Several years ago attention was
called to the fact that the eastern
plants of America we're marching
westward across the continent, keep
ing step with the advance of human
settlement, and conquering the native
plants as they proceeded. 1t was pre-
dicted that in time there would be a
return OF the western plants sweeping
eastward and overcoming their con-
querors, and, Science Siftings says. it
is noted that that return seems already
to have begun. At present Australia
presents perhaps the best example of
this great spreading and conquering
tendency of those plants that follow
