Bald Heads.

A prematrrely bald physician in
Thirty-iifth Street was asked number OF
questions about the growth and habits OF
hair.
. In the first place. he said, :. do
you know what hair is, anyway
Only in a general way, perhaps

is an elongated epidermie appendage.
Its essential structure consists Of an as
sen1blage of epiderniic cells, at the bot
tom of fiask-shaped folEele in the sub
stance of the skin. supplied with blood
oy vessels distributed to its walls -.
$ Gan hair be made 70 grow. on 2 bald
Not as. a rule. In debiliate1 persons
the hair somtimes fall out spontaueonsly
qr with slight assislancs. and if the

stances. The short ana -pofsfted flstis
on the scalp of old people show that new
shafts are constantly forming. The ntI-
triton of hair is effected through vessels
which are in contact with their tissue,
without entering into their structure, 50
that causes affecting the general health,
or eifecting the health Of the skin affect
also the nutrition of the hair.
.-What causes premature baldnessg
"In great measure the violation of
hygenic rules, and the excess of mental
and physical labor in climate foreign
to the race.
..Is there greater disposition to
greyness in this country than in othersP
:. Well. some well-informed people
think that it is about the same in all civ
ilized countries; but if their is any diff
erance it is because of the hurried and
uuhealthful habits of life and mental eX-
ercise among Americans
- What is the chemical action which
/ produces gray hair?n
Accurately speaking, that's one oi
those things that no fellow can find out.
/ The color of the hair depends partly on
the presence of pigment granules. and
partly on the existence of minute hail
1 spaces, which cause it to appear dark By
1 transmitted light. In Albinos and grey
/ haired persons this coloring matter is
simply absent
stIs IT the case that hair may, from
/ extreme fright or other strong emotions
turn white as IS said, in a single night?''
It is an undoubted fact. just how
4 the change takes place IS matter o.
conjecture. but it may. perhaps be ex
planned by some chemical action upor
the oily coloring matter. This oily mat
ter would be Withdrawn from the hail
under conditions of cold, debility or in

Does gray hair then become dead?'
Not by any means. The loss of vitality
does not necessarily follow the loss o
color. for gray hair often grows vigor
ously. For that matter hair VIII grow
after the body's death. One of tn
causes of premature badness and grey
