Man and abnormal man, including a study of children, in connection with bills to establish laboratories under federal and state governments for the study of the criminal, pauper, and defective classes, with bibliographies . ce so as to exclude the feeling of the steel when pressed against theskin, thus giving a pure-pressure sensation. The whole instrument is 30 centimetersin length. In using this algometer it is held in the right hand, as represented in fig. 25, by theexperimenter, who stands back of the subject and presses the disk D against theright temporal muscle; then he moves in front of the subject, where he canconveniently press the disk D against the left temporal muscle. As soon as the sub-ject feels the pressure to be the least disagreeable, the amount of pressure is readfrom the scale A (fig. 24), as indicated by the marker E. The subject sometimeshesitates to say just when the pressure becomes the least disagreeable, but this ispart of the experiment. The idea is to approximate as near as possible to thethreshold of pain. Maker, Yerdin, Paris. In making experiments upon both sexes the author has found women to be moreacute in sensitiveness of disagreeableness or pain from pressure than Fig. 25. In the three following tables (2, 2a, 2b) are given recent measurements of pain byMisses F. Alice Kellor, Emily Dunning, Alice O. Moore, and Alice E. measurements were made with the authors temple algometer under hisdirection. Four distinct classes are represented in the tables: University womenstudents, washerwomen, business women, as clerks and stenographers, and youngwomen of the wealthy classes. The young women of the wealthy classes (Table 2&) are, according to the meas-urements, very much more sensitive to pain than any of the other classes. Theuniversity women are more sensitive to pain than the washerwomen (Tables 2, 2a).The business women are, however, more sensitive than the university women. As iswell known, the majority of universi
