Haflz listened with lifted head, like a rhinoceros sniffing the air for danger. "The mob Is there again. Queeckl" And he was running with a speed his bulk had not implied. Jebb followed, stumbling over the refuse In the streets. A bonfire had been lighted In the square before the district The windows were ragged with broken glass. The door hung on a fractured hinge. In the square, nearer the fire, a man and a woman were struggling within a tangle of bloodthirsty fiends who clutched at them, struck at them with clubs, and slashed with knives. Hafiz groaned: "The mob is get busy. See, that is the Greek that Is the girL" The crowd boiled and sworled like eddies choked with debris. Dragged by the lure of horror Jebb and Hafiz moved slowly down the MIL They saw the Greek, fight lng like another Leonidas against an Asian horde, sink under a smother of enemies, only to reappear gashed, bleeding, but fighting on. The girl's plight was more ugly, for she had none of the mad exultance of the death struggle of man against man. Hers was the odium of being torn to pieces and of dying in naked shame. Clutching talons tore her hair loose her veil had long since been rent away. Jebb could look no longer.

The effect with salt was not so striking, but at least 50 per cent stronger solution was needed to arouse the sense of taste in the smokers as in the The threshold of taste, says Dr. Rauth, rises very rapidly when a person starts to smoke. Several of the subjects were not able to keep their good resolutions and smoked a few cigarettes. The effect waa apparent almost immediately as their taste sensitivity fell. By much the same technique, Dr. Rauth hopea to determine whether the sensory acuteness ritet with age up to the time of adolescence. This claim has been made by psychologists, but with little experimental basis. It may be, Dr. Rauth holds, that the sensitivity itself does not increase, but that there is a notable increase In the Individual's associations, so that a sense Impression has more meaning and hence seems to be more acute. Children sometimes can be taught to like foods which are repulsive to adults, but this Is probably because the dislike Is due to the associations rather than to the taste Itself.
