The Causes of Blushings

The physiology of blushing has long
presented a difficult problem to solve.
Many unsatisfactory explanations have
been given of the causes Of that in
teresting phenomenon. The British
Medical Journal lately received an
inquiry as to the measures to be taken
for the cure of a chronic tendency to
blush, and one of its correspondents
takes up the matter in a very prac-
tical way. Among other causes Of
blushing he gives prominence to the
wearing of too thick underclothing
and especially of too thick socks" He
aids that long-sleeved wooden sacks or
jerseys are often cause of blushing,
and, in fact. warm clothing in general.
He does not fail to remark that the
blusher must choose in this matter be-
tween the risk of rheumatism and the
annoyance Of blushing. As collateral
evidence in support of his views he
says San aunt Of mine had haDitual-
ly red nose from this cause alone,
which disappeared when she took to
thinner stockings
Regarding the matter from social
standpoint, the writer says: 1.-THE
best plan for an habitual blusher is to
laugh and be very gushing, as, for in
stance, on meeting an acquaintance in
the street, when he colors up; and he
will feel more at his ease than if he
looks sheepish and reserved"
An obvious cause for blusAing is
oversensitiveness and self-conscious-
ness, which will wear away as the
person becomes used 20 society ald
strengthens his character by adopting
wise principles of thought and action.
The physiological explanation of blush
ing given by the writer Just quoted is
that it is due to paralysis Of the sym
pathetic circles Of nerves surrounding
the arteries, which, not contracting
properly. allow a freer flow Of blood
TO the surface.

Out.,TrOtted by a Calf.

Colonel Charles Burns appeared on
the race course at Evansville, Ind, one
day recently, leading very thin calf.
1t was a dusky brindle in color, hair
long and full of cookie burrs, while its
diagonal tail was weighted with the
same prickly nuisances. 1t was an
ungainly creature and looked half
starved, but when the colonel said il
could trot the crowd laughed. Fin
ally, after much banter, he wagered
500 that his cloven-hoofed pet could
outstrip any horse n the grounds. Mr..
Jay Rowland promptly accepted and
produced his handsome gelding DAY
light" who has a record of 1929. 1t
was agreed that the calf should go
under saddle, while the horse
trotted in harness. They were
led out on the track. Twenty
times the calf sleepily loped up for the
word, but at the next trial they cams
under the wire neck and neck, and
were sent off. Instantly the calf
seemed to lose four inches in height,
and pushed off, with tail erect, like a
flash of light. At the quarter pole the
horse forged two lengths ahead, but at
the upper turn the calf settled into a
shambling sort of trot, believing at
every step, all the while gradually
decreasing the distance between itself
and the gelding. The nearer it ap-
preached the horse the more nervous
the equine became, until when the calf
reached his sulky wheel the gelding
bolted. Before the gelding could be
controlled Burns calf had a hundred
yards lead, and all efforts Of the horse
to overtake his split-hoofed competitor
were unavailing, the calf landing at the
wire, head and tail up, 200 yards ahead,
in 2:29.
AS soon as the disappointment and
the modification of the losers had
somewhat worn off, the colonel was
besieged by them with offers to pur-
chase, one going as high as $1,100.
The colonel, however, refused all offers.

CroIones Of Fire.

Every half mile or so brings to the
sight of the floating voyager ON the Au
Sable. writes a Michigan correspondent
of the New York Ecening os', an
open space in the forest many acres in
extent. There are thick, blackened
tree trunks on the ground prOtruding
in all directions from their sbroud Of
green underbrush. A more impressive
spectacle are the dead pine trees still
standing in these open areas, black
around the roots, but reaching, straight
as a dart for hundred feet in air.
These are the gaunt skeletons of what
were once splendid living pines, now
killed by the forest fires which perlodi-
cally sweep through the Michigan
woodlands during drought. Not far
below the mouth of the Au Sable, and
on the other side of the Saginaw Bay,
is the region where the deadly fires of
two years ago devastated the wood
lands so terribly, causing the loss of
hundreds of lives and millions of dol
lars worth Of property. A well-in-
formed resident of Michigan, who lives
but few miles from the scene of that
horror, has described it to me, not as a
burning forest in the ordinary sense,
but a cyclone Of flame, marked in char
acters of fire by many of the phenom-
ena of wild Tomatoes. In some way
the forces generated powerful vol
ume of air, filled with gases in COM
bustion, and penetrated with almost
supernatural heat. 1t was sort of
earthly counterpart of those tomatoes
Of fiery gas which men of science tell
us sweep over the incandescent en-
velope of the sun. Wherever it touched
the ground this naming destroyer con-
sumed. Woods, fences, houses, cattle
and human beings were not merely
burned, but almost vaporized. Often
the whirlwind left behind a marked
track of ruin with clearly delineated
sides. One man would be taken; an
other a few feet away would be de-
stroyed utterly, while the remaining
half would not even be scorched. The
whirlwind of heat, like a cyclone of
wind, sometimes bounded from the
earth only to descend again and lick
up the houses and forests. 1t leaped
open fields and rivers in an instant,
converting the surface waters into
steam, and finally stopped its career of
destruction, not because of lack of
fuel, but because it's strange, fiery
energy was in some occult way ex-
hausted. AS proving its peculiar cy-
clonic quality, there is a well authen-
ticated story of farmer who hal left
his pantaloons in the middle of ten
acre lot. In the pockets were five
trade dollars, and when he returned
after the swift passage Of the flaming
whjrlwinl he found only lump of
melted silver where had left the coins.
Looking upon the enormous mass of
pine trees and vegetation which line
the A disable, conceiving their inham-
mabl condition during the drought,
and then glancing anew at the open
burned spaces, with their huge, charred
tree trunks, one could easily imagine
tn at the stories about the Michigan
forest fires of 1881 we're neither fanci-
full nor exaggerated.

Two Remarkahle Trees.

Two remarkable trees of Central
Africa have been described by the
Spanish traveller, Abargues de SOsten.
One OF these, the Acacia mimosa,
grows luXuriantly in the mountainous
regions, sending out its branches from
the ground, much in the same way as
the ribs Of an umbrella when extended
spread out from the handle. To COM
plete its resemblance TO an umbrella OF
gigantic size the scanty leaves at the
top are closely interviewer, and the
whole forms a natural protection from
the SUMS rays Of no mean Importance
to the weary explorer as he seeks rest
in the heat of the day. Many animals,
no doubt, also avail themsslves Of its
grateful shelter. It's height is about
ten feet. The other tree is still more
curious. Its scientific name is Baobab
dina. This tree has a huge, smooth,
dark-brOwn trunk, hollow in the center.
Into this cavity it absorbs during the
rainy season a store Of water sufficient
TO last for many months. In short, it
seems to be kind of cistern tree. The
branches are thick, short and bent in
wa-d Few leaves are produced, and
Nese are soon dried up, and, falling
the branches look gaunt enough.

Human Obesity.

We recorded on Saturday the death
of the "fattest woman in the world" {"
a member and special curiosity of
Nathan's Cleveland circus in America,
who appears to have been smothered
in her bed. Miss Conley, though the
most enormous of her sex, weighing as
she did 497 pounds, fell far short Of
that prodigy Of human bulk, the IA
nous Daniel Lambert, who died in 1909,
during Stamford fair, at the age of
forty. Lambert weighed no less than
'fifty-two stone eleven pounds, that is
739 pounds, or close upon half as
much again as the American lady.
Daniel Lambert's coffin with his body
could not be brought down the stairs
of the house in which he died, and the
wall at the sides of the window had to
be broken away to provide an. exit
He was five feet eleven inches in
height, measured nine feet four inches
round the body and three feet Cne

any beverage bat water, and slept less
than eight hours per day. The
