Nerves in Sexes Differ.

The late Professor Munsterberg of Harvard believed that the sensory mechanism of women worked quicker than that of men. He took the illustration of two sets of wires, corresponding to the nerves of the human body, conducting a current of electricity to a certain point. The wires of woman’s nerves were able to communicate tp the fixed point, in this case the brain, the current much more quickly than the male equipment, and, furthermore, reacted to currents too faint for man’s wires to take up. The addition of these subtle stimuli produced In the receiving center an entirely different comprehension in womhn than in man, Munsterberg argued.—Chicago Examiner. >
