The Causes Of BIushina.

The physiology of blushing has long
presented a difficult problem to solve.
Many unsatisfactory explanations have
been given OF the causes of that interest.
ing phenomenon. The British Medical
Journal lately received an inquiry as to
the measures to be taken for the cttre OF
a chronic tendency to, blush, and one of
Its correspondents takes up the matter in a
very practical way. Among other csuses
OF blushlng he gives prominence stto
the wearing of too thick underclothing
and especially of TOO thick socks. 7" He
adds that long-sleeved woolen. sacks or
Jerseys are often cause of bluehing,
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:
An aunt of mine had habitually red
nose from this cause alone, which dis
appeared when she took to the thinner
stockings" N4'4 - P E
Regarding the matter from social
standpoint; the writer says: "The best
plan for an habitual blusher is to laugh
and be very gushing, as, for instance, on
meeting an acquaintance in the street,
when he colors up; and he will then feel
more at ease than ii he looks sheepish
and reserved" ~ raE
An obvious cause for blushing is over
sensitiveness and self-consciousness
which will wear away MS the person
becomes used to society and streng ngthens
his character by adopting wise principles
of thought and action. The physio-
logical explanations of blushing given
by the writer just quoted is that it is
due to paralysis of the sympathetic
circles ofnerves surrounding the.arteries,
which, not contracting properly allow a
freer flow of blood to the surface.

A WONDERFUL WELL.

tlenan residing near East Portland who
has been engaged in digging well on his
place and early last week, when he got
down to a distance of about fifty feet
and while digging in "A vein of sand. sud
denly struck his spade in hole at one
side, and forthwith there rushed out a
volume of air. which came with such
force that he was considerably frightened.
fearing the web might cave in upon him,
and he made his way to surface ground
with all possible speed, and has not been
down since. On arriving at the top he
found that there was a strong current eff
air coming up out of the well. 1t was pure
air, and no sign of gas. He proceeded to
cover the well hole over with boards for
safety. and in one of the boards there was
an anger hole through which the air came
with such force that pieces of paper and
other light. objects placed over the hole
would shoot up like balloon. After
blowing out four days the we'll took an
other freak. and began sucking in air
with the same force. There are no sink
holes near, and no hills or valleys. The
question is: Where did the air come from
and what power or effect draws the al T
in? There has always been noticed anoth
er peculiarity about that particular loca-
lity. The sound of wagons, or of noises
nor of any kind, can be heard for long
distance better than when close by, show
ing that there may be hollow ground
causing communication of distinct sounds.
The noise of the wind as it passed ont of
