ACUTE HEARING.
City Boys Are Declared to be
Superior to the Coun-
try Lad.

Washington, August.-That tnt
country youth IS not able to heal
30 we as his city brother, aDc
that only about one in five of tht
former possess the auricnlar acute
ness of the city bred lad is the op
inion of officers at the head oi
Marine Corps recruiting in this
city. Their deductions are based
on the number of country boys re.
jected for hearing,
Many persons believe that ths
continual jarring noises of the city
have q tendency to dull the sensl
tiveness of the nerve centres
However, this is not borne out bj
the figures of the Marine Corps
officers, who believe that the qnie'
life of the country, free iron
noises, has a tendency to weaken
through disuse, the responsive
nerves ID the ear.
SCIENTISTS point to iDnumtrabi'
parallels in nature where the dis
nse of an organ gradually reduces
it's funclionlng power or eliminates
ii altogether. The blind fishes il
the dark pools of Mammoth cav
are q notable example.
