A Phenomenon.
fund of nervous energy in the body
that resembles the flow of a enrrent of
electricity, both in its tangible aspect
and its remarkable physiological
«fleets. Tho nerve centers of the
body, or nerve ganglions, all start
from tho brain as a distinct focus,
from hero radiato tho nerves proper
ns a complex system with minute ten¬
drils (hat give rise to sensations of the
most agonizing, as well as tho most
exqui Jo nature—the blow of a cudgel
or loo tickle of u straw being equally
and as readily perceptible. Although
no determinations of a positive char
actor have ever been made, tho gym
notus, or electric lish, is a typo of or¬
ganism in which tho two functions
seem closely allied. The discharge
areas aro controlled and owe their
Dating qualities to the nervous system
to such an extent that the fish falls into
an exhausted condition if so irritated
that its reserve fund of material for
electrical phenomena becomes too
used.
In Booth America tho eel, which is
oaten by the Indians, used to ho
caught by driving a number of horses
into the river and allowing them to
receive tho discharge from the fish,
which, when thus weakened, wore
drawn from the water. Incases of lo¬
comotor ataxia tho nervous energy is
so lacking that tho irritation of any
part arouses only after a deliberate in¬
terval tho sensation expected, 'Tho
gradual transmission of nervous force
is forcibly illustrated when a needle is
inserted in the flesh; frequently ten
icconds elapse before the impression
is conveyed to tho brain. There is no
doubt that, tho mysterious adjunct of
nerve tissue is of a most perplexing
nature. Let a nerve center of tho
bruin be affected and the part of tho
body controlled by it losos movement
and sensation. The almost structure¬
less composition of tho brain hides
within it the secret of all sensation.
The slightest thrill of its particles
may mean a thought that will shake
the earth with its importance—its
quietude means either sleep or eternal
peace.—Electrical Age.

A Blind Surgeon.
When Dr. Jauios R. Cocke, of Bos¬
ton, Mass., was two months old both
of his eyes were ruined by a blunder¬
ing dootor, who administered a wrong
medicine. Since then he has been to¬
tally blind. He is now thirty-two
years of age. He locates a disease by
his sensitive touch, and he tells the
color of goods in the same way, singu¬
lar as it may appear. A lady, who had
eight or ten samples of dress goods,
each about three inches square, handed j
them to Dr. Cooke the other day, and |
he at once told accurately the color
aud even the shade of color of each,
and selected the samples of the best
quality. When handed several Na¬
tional bank aud Government currency
bills, he at once told the denomination
of each and the color, whether green
or black. He tells the complexion of
a person by touching the skin. It is
difficult to believe that a blind man
could do this, but he is seen to do it,
and accurately, too.—Hartford Times.
A Curious and I uteres ting Relic.
A curious and interesting relic ol
the old days was unearthed in Ger¬
mantown a few days ago. John Bon
hage, a contractor, who is nutting in
a new sewer, discovered a pick of curi¬
ous design imbedded fifteen feet under
the ground; It was covered with rust,
and, after cleaning it off, the date
1772 was clearly discernible, The
pick, which is consequently 123 years
old, was presented by Mr. Bonhage to
P. Martel, of Somerville, who displays
it with pardonable pride.—New York

Our Celestial Visitor.
Tho comet discovered at Lick ob¬
servatory, California,on Nov. 17th, by
Mr. C. D. Perrine is now abont 84,
000,000 miles from the sun. The dis¬
tance will decrease and reach a mini
mura of about 20,000,000 miles on
December 18th, at which time its an
gulai distance from the point where
its path intersects tho ecliptic will be
263 degroes. After December 18th,
the distance from the sun will again
[increase. The object is net visible to
tho naked eye, but its brightness is
: increasing very rapidly. It will un
doubtedly bo visible with telescopic
assistance within a few weeks.
Unfortunately, however, its ap¬
proach to tho ruu will bring it into
the morning twilight, and the difficul¬
ty of observation will be increased
thereby. It is now 1$ times as far
from the earth as the sun is.

A Cat’s Whiskers.
Nature is an economical dame and
never indulges in useless gifts. If she
gives an animal or plant an appendage
of any kind, we may be sure that it
serves some wise purpose. Take a cat’s
whiskers, for instance, which may
seem to you to be merely ornamental.
They are organs of touch, attached to
a bed of fine glands under the skin,
and each of these long hairs is con¬
nected with the nerves of the lip. The
slightest contact of these whiskers
with any surrounding object is thus
felt most distinctly by the animal, al¬
though the hairs themselves are insen¬
sible.
