THE WHALE'S SENSES.
Abllttr of the Fondereaa Aatmal to
Hear Under Water.
It seems perfectly evident that
whales must hear when In the water,
snys tho London Field. This Inference
Is confirmed by the comparatively
small development of tho other sense
organs. Tho eyo, for Instance, Is very
small and enn bo of little use even at
tho comparatively small depths to
which whales arc now believed to de
8cen'"t. Again, tho sense of smell, judging by
the rudimentary conditions of tho ol
factory organs, must be In abeyance,
and whales have no sense organs com
parable to the lateral line system of
fishes. Consequently It would seem
that when below the surface of the wa
ter thoy must depend chiefly upon tho
sense of hearing. Frobably this sense
is so highly developed as to enable the
animals in tho midst of tho vibrations
made by the screwlike movements of
I the tail or flukes to distinguish the
sound (or vibrations) made by tho Im
pact of the water against tho rocks
even In n dead calm, and, In the cose
of piscivorous species, to recognize by
tho pulse In tho water tho presence of
shoal fish.
Falling in this explanation, it is dlfli
cult to Imagine how whales can find
their way about In the scmidarkucss
and avoid collisions with rocks and
rockbound coasts.
LAUGHTER.
Erra If It Be Emotional Iasaallr,
Let Vm Have Pleatr of It.
Some English scientist has reached
the conclusion that laughter Is Insan
ity. He regards a fit of laughter as an
emotional Insanity of short duration.
All right, then, give us a little more In
sanity. There is not laughter enough
In the world at least the right kind of
laughter. We will let the Englishmen
keep their faces straight If they want
to, but It befits the American civiliza
tion better to break out into laughter
once In awhile. Laughter Is good for
the facial muscles. It develops tho
muscles of the neck as well ns the fucc.
It makes the corners of the mouth turn
upward Instead of downward. It gives
the wrinkles of the face a plcuslng out
line, quickens the action of the heart
and gives now life to tho nerve centers.
Yes, we can afford to lot tho English
man look wise and Idiotic If ho wants
to. Ho can stare with fish eyed big
otry whenever a Joke Is perpetrated,
never allowing a ripple of merriment
to disturb the placidity of his couuto
naucc. Ho can do all these things that
ho wishes to, but lot us go on laugh
ing. This kind of insanity mixes very
well with sanity and prosaic life. A
little burst of emotional Insanity breaks
nicely the monotony of facts and fig
ures. Medical Talk.
A Picture of Tennyion.
A writer who once saw Lord Tenny
son on the platform of a railway sta
tion says of him: "He would have been
tall, but his shoulders seemed some
what bent. Ills hair wasjoug; so was
his beurd. He wore an ugly Inverness
capo uudii large slouch hat. He looked
llko a bandit In a melodrama, and I
thought him somo poor actor who had
come out in some of tho stage proper
ties. He seemed so sad 1 felt quite
sorry for him as I watched him walk
up and down the platform,"
