There is no sense so capable of improvement as that of touch. "Of this power of improving the delicacy of touch," says Dr. Carpenter, "we have examples in the case of certain artisans, whose employments require them to cultivate their tactile discrimination. Thus, the female silk-throwsters of Bengal are said to be able to distinguish by the touch alone twenty different degrees of fineness in the unwound cocoons, which are sorted accordingly, and' the Indian muslin weaver contrives, by the delicacy of his touch, to make the finest cambric in a loom of such simple construction that European fingers could at best propose tr make a piece of canvas s at .it."
