GETTING MORE, BENSITIVE. Most people place the ordinary tolophone receiver to the left oar, and according to a modical in- vastigator this has led to an in- crease in the sensitivoss of the loft ear,as compared with the right, in the case of telephone users. Certainly if you are ac customed to use the loft oar and you try using the right ono, will find that it is difficult to understand what is said at the other end of the lina. Arguing on the same principle, it is now thought that the extensive use of headphones, as in wiroless listening, will have the effect of increasing sonsitivity and "per- ceptivity of both onra. There soems to be evidence that human beings, in the uncivilised siato have very koon heuring, approxi-, mating to that of many animals, this great sensitivity having boon largely lost by us owing to ouri civilised conditions. Perhaps the popularity of radio will help to bring it back.
