Yachtsmen's Admissions.

Yachtsmen today make the admission
that if the race had been held over an
ocean course the Constitution would
have won. What is wanted is a thrash
to windward, and though the regatta
committee in ali three races have sig
nailed course that would bring in one
beating leg, the hauling wind has spoil
ed every opportunity to see what the
new sloop would do looking into the
wind. Captain Rhodes. of the Constitu-
tion, said this morning:
at was a great race and the result
shows that other sharp contests may be
expected The Reliance is undoubtedly
a wonderful boat"
Columbia Out of 1t.
The Columbia was hopelessly left in
yesterdays race. but she was ever a
poor smooth water sailer and her ad-
mirers admit that they don't expect her
to show her best until she gets out to
sea.
There will be races off here tomorrow
and on Saturday and after weeks rest,
during which time a few changes VIII
be made on the sloops. the first of a
series of races Will be held over the
cup course off Sandy Hook beginning

walls of which are made with the pic
lures on them) to shift up and down
in opposite directions-the experiment
has been illustrated at summer resorts
for the amusement of the profanum
vulgus-you will find yourself readjust-
ing yourself on your chair, to hold
an imaginary balance. But this, Of
course, is an effect merely optical, and
directly related to a class of illusory
phenomena so varied that there is no
end to them.
Hold your forefnger foot in front Of
your nose and look at it. You will find
that more distinct objects in the line
of vision are doubled-you can see two
of them. 1t is an illusion depending
upon an elementary principle of optics.
Look at a distance object, holding your
forefinger as before, and you will see
two fingers. Seeing double is no great
art, as you will admit when you have
tried the experiment.
1t is not the mind that is deceived in
such cases as those described, of
course, but the eye, the ear, the touch,
the taste or the smell. They are mere
ly erroneous sense impressions-frauds
as one might say, upon the nervous
system. Behind the mechanism of the
nervous system, of which the brain is
the principal center "a magnif1ed gang
lion), there sits IN judgment the intel
ligence, which, acting as the final ar
bitter of fact, finds it rather amusing
to detect such cheats and brand them
as clever but unsuccessful impostures'

FRAUDS ON OUR SENSES.
Deception of Sight Matched by Those
of Touch and Sound.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
1t is wonderful how readily we are
cheated by those five senses of ours,
upon which we rely with such conf
dence. The ease with which our eyes
deceive us is notorious, and, if seeing
is believing we are surely victims
of a confidence misplaced. But leaving
optical illusions aside, there are decep-
tons of the other senses-taste, hear
ing. touch and smell-which are not less
interesting, and, comparatively speak
ing, unknown.
One illusion of touch that is compara-
lively we'll known is the pea of Arts
totle'-so called because that ancient
sage and philosopher is supposed to
have been first to make note of the
phenomenon.
If you roll a pea Ca pellet of bread
will do as welD on table between the
ends of the forefinger and middle fin
ger of your right hand it will feel, of
course, like one pea. But if you cross
the two fingers and do the same thing,
it will feel like two peas, and the illu-
sion will be so perfect that you can
hardly realize that there is not a sec
ond pea. The phenomenon affords a
most interesting illustration of the ease
with which a sense impression may
mislead the Judgment.
But the senses are the gayest of de-
ceiVers, and the things they tell us are
not to be relied upon implicitly by any
means. You know, doubtless, that
'menthoI' is an oil derived from the
peppermint plant If you rub it on your
forehead or on any other part of your
body it produces a feeling of icy cold
ness.
This is attributable mainly to very
peculiar property of the substance
which stimulates the little nerves of
cold sensa ton" beneath the skin. All
over the body are distributed nerves of
cold and nerves of heat, the former can
only feel GOODNESS and the latter can
only feel warmth. The menthol is not
cold, but it feels so for the reason above
mentioned.
Each set of nerves has its own par
ticular kind of sensation. If you shut
your eyelids in a dark room quickly
and tightly, you will perceive some
thing like a flash of light, which is
due to irritation of the optice nerve.
Any kind of shock to the auditory
nerve will produce a loud sound.
Irritate. no matter by what means,
any of the nerves, and it responds by
conveying its own peculiar sense inn
preston to the brain. Thus it is that
one is able to taste electricity when
the poles of a battery are applied to
the tongue. The papillae on the sur
face of the tongue, each of which rep
resents a tiny nerve ending, are stiluu-
lated and an illusion of flavor results
You may try an odd experiment in
regard to taste sensations by placing
simultaneously on different parts of
the tongue two substances of marked
ly different flavors-say, sugar and
salt. You will not taste them both
at the same time, nor as mixture,
but they will alternate back and forth;
you will taste first the sweet and then
the salt, and the sweet again, and then
very curious and illustrates the fact
salt, as sense perception jumps
back and forth between the two. 1t
is really very curious and illustrates
the fact that one cannot possibly taste
more than one thing at any given mo-
