OUR SENSE OF SPACE.
Experiments With Infants to Show
That It Is Innate.

Experiments With Infants to Show
That It Is Innate.
There are many optical illusions
which show that our perception Of dis
lance, height and space are acquired
rather than instructive, and in the do
main of psychological physiology one
Of the standing controversies touches
this point. The German school Of
Leipzig is inclined to af1irm that all
our perceptions Of distance, area and
solidity and our ability to distinguish
between right and left. up and down,
before and behind, are acquired as n
result Of long practice and experience.
A person blind from birth who
has learned to distinguish triangles,
squares, circles and objects Of other
forms by touch Is not able Immediate
~ after the acquisition of sight to
distinguish these familiar objects by
sight alone. He or she is still COM
PEELED to rely on feeling. In the be-
ginning all objects appear to such a
person (and perhaps they do so in the
case of babies) as shapeless, tremulous
spots of color situated close to the
eye.
In the course of the debate that
ragged in Germany some experiments
were made with babies. 1t appeared
that in babies what must be described
for want of a better term as a sense
of space seems to exist. The infant
was held in the arms Of the expert
mentors for about minute, at the
end Of which interval the child was
permitted to drop upon its bed. In
every instance the child exhibited a
dread or panic when it felt the arms
Of the persons holding it relax. The
babe, even at the age of one month,
seemed to understand that it's sup
port was departing. 1t held. or. rather,
clutched. at anything it could reach,
whether the arm. neck or collar Of the
person holding it.
From these experiments 1t has been
inferred that there must exist q sense
of space almost from infancy. What
is the dread Of falling but a manifesto

"Who are your the priest asked.

$4,000 Risk
On An Author

When Hampton's Magazine had the
life of Commander Robert E. Peary in
sured for $4,000, it set precedent in
the magazine field. 1t has. of course,
been customary for magazines and
publishers to contract with authors for
unwritten material. and even to pay
them large sums in advance.
In paying Commander Peary $40 a
word for the story OF his North Pole
exploit, Hampton's reached the high
est figure ever paid any author. 1t
exceeded even that paid Colonel Roose.
velet for his African hunting serial. A
large portion of the amount agreed up
on was paid by Hamptons to Peary
before he had written a word of his
articles. To cover the amount invest
ed the magazine had the Commander
life insured. setting an example which
the publishers of the works OF Hall
Corelh may emulate. 1t will be a nov
ell thing to find such authors agreeing
to the insuring of their lives to pro-
tect against loss in case of death be.
fore completing their contracts
From business standpoint the &C
ton of the enterprising New York
publication is considered as wise as
it is original. The policy decreases
5000 month. so that. as Peary turns
in article by article, the magazine re-
tains its protection only for those still
unwritten. In ten months. when
Peary's story will have been finished
the policy expires. 1t is certainly an
innovation in the publishing world for
a concern thus to take precautions in
case an author should die before de-

SLOW DEATH

Disease Usually Takes Lone Time to
Kill. Says Scientist.
Few indeed are the men and wom-
en- Of full age. say twenty-five. who
have not yet contracted the malady
that will kill them, according to that
distinguished scientist and physician
DR.. Felix Regnault. Normally, as con-
temporary investigators are beginning
to find out, it takes twenty years for
a fatal malady to kill patient. 1t
may take thirty years. The popular
impression is that a man may die sud
denly or that he may require only a
year to die in or six months. TO be
sure, man may be killed or child
may die in a few months at the age
of one year. But. ordinarily speaking.
all deaths are very slow, indeed. and
about 95 per cent of civilized adults
are now stricken with fatal diseases.
They do not know it. They may not
suffer from them. In due time they will
have their cases diagnosed as cancer
or tuberculosis or diabetes, or what
not But so inveterate are current
misconceptions Of the nature of death
that the origin of the fatal malady-
in time-will be miscalculated by from
ten to thirty years.
In the case of human beings death.
barring accident. is nearly always
caused by some specific malady. This
malady is as likely as not to be cured
what is called cured. The cure. how.
ever, no matter how skillful the treat
ment or how slight the disease, has
left a weakness behind it in some
particular organ Of the body. One of
the organs is. if not prematurely worn
out. at least so worn that its resisting
powers are greatly diminished All Of
US in this way when we have reached
certain age possess an organ that is
much older than the rest Of the
physique. One day we shall die be-
cause Of this organ. Even if we live
to be very old, indeed, we shall not
die Of old age, but of weakness of the
lungs or OF the kidneys or Of the liver
or OF the brain.-Current Literature.
