SENSE OF HEARING.
Sound Waves and the Way They Act
Upon the Ears.

Sound Waves and the Way They Act
Upon the Ears.
The detection Of the direction of
sound by the sense of hearing is, like
the rapid focusing of the eye on OBJ
iects at different distances, one or
those instructive operations which are
continually done without any conscious
method.
Sound waves traverse the air as rip
pies stir the water, and the ear by ex-
perience acquires some slight power OF
detecting the direction in one case, as
the eve does with far greater accuracy
In the other. Usually we unconscious
ly receive assistance from other senses
as well. Often we fail to locate at
once some hidden source Of sound,
such as a singing bird. and then our
instructive ingenuity displays itself.
The intensity of sound is, Of course,
by no means so great behind screen
as In front Of it, and every one carries
with him the screen of his own head
which may prevent particular SOUND
from being heard so well by one eai
as by the other. If, then, the head Ii
turned until this inequality disappears
and both ears hear equally well we
know that we must be directly facing
or turned from the source Of sound
and our previous rough idea of it
Whereabouts generally prompts us t.
face it.

Discussed Hands Always Lad.

Here is a truth" says a har1writ-

the ether: A disguised hand always
tries to be poorer than the real hand.
That axiom is a great help to us ex-
perts. For instance, when letter
done in a disguised hand is brought to
us we always know that the writer Of
the letter is in a higher station than
the hand would lead us to infer; hence
in our detective work we are able to

to play sacred or funeral music in the

at the east side of the State House in

A noted oculist advises against using
the eyes Immediately after waking.
Therefore, the habit of many young
girls of reading or studying in bed is
injurious. 1t is harmful to use the eyes
when sleepy, as it is great strain upon
the muscles. If one must read or write
when drowsy, rise occasionally and
bathe the eyes with hot or cold water.
Remember that quick change from a
dark room to a brilliant light is a strain
upon the eyes.
To clean bottles fill them with scraps
of newspaper torn into small bits. and
put little soapsuds in the water. Shake
the bottle vigorously until the paper
has been dissolved to pulp, and then
rinse the bottle thoroly. You will be
surprised how even the dirtiest bottle
can be cleaned easily and thoroly and
made bright and shining.
To clean a light wool skirt take one
pail of warm soft water. To this add
one pint of gasoline and one-quarter
bar of naphtha soap (dissolved). Put
the skirt to be washed into this and
wash carefully. Rinse in water the
same temperature as water used in
washing the skirt, This is an excellent
method. and never fails to make the
skirt look like new but do not use gaso-
line near the fire or gaslight.
