Speed Of Thouuht.

How fast do impulses travel along
the nerves? The speed has been duly
measured by the aid Of the elaborate
apparatus with which the physiolog
ical laboratory of today is supplied
In man the rate has been set down al
about LA feet second.
This measurement has reference to
the rate at which messages of the
bodily telegraph system are sent
from nerve centers along motor
nerves or those destined to bring
muscles into play. But second class
of nerves exists in the body called
"sensory," whose duty is to convey
messages from the body to nerve cen.
tiers. The rate of impulse in the
sensory nerves is quicker than in the
motor nerves. Investigators give
varying rates. from about 1913 feet to
CTS feet per second, an average rate
being 2S2 feet.-Harper's Weekly.
