Experience has shown US that IL is not so much the
absolute lowness OF temperature which gives rise TO
colds as sudden changes from higher to the lower.
The reason OF this remained unknown TIL tho recent
researches Professor Rosenthral cleared the
terry. When cold IS applied to the surface of healthy
animal cutaneous vessels contract, and by thus
combining the blood to the interior Of the body prevent
its cooling and preserve the temperature Of the vital
organs unless tho application Of cold DO cOntnA cd
for cons derablc time. This Is not tbs how.
even when the animal has been previously exposed
10 warmth some time before. The cutaneous vessels
become paralyzed By heat, and remain dlated even
after the cold has been applied The blood is thus
xpcssd over q large surface and becomes rapidly
cooled though the temperature Of the surround
ing medium Is not very low. Confinement In choky
office theatre crowded ball room will have this
effect From such places people pass OUT
into the cool open air, viii sometimes pnrposey
place themselves In draft The blood thar IS cours-
lug through the lated vessels of every part Is rapid
" cooled below he normal, and on It's return 70 tho
Internal organs coois them much more qhchIy tnan

The fight was precipitated by the Com

antagonistic to the Trades Assembly; that
1t was political organization, and that
its delegatea were not entitled to admis-
Bion.
The Committee on Organization took
opposite groundB. Crawford made Bit
ter attack upon the Central Labor Union
and declsI6d that the Trades Assembly
hrd nothing in common with them. Nc
Logan said the members oil the Central
Labor Union were nearly all Socialists
and Ausrchistu, who desired to capture
the Trades Assembly for political purposes.
T. J. Morgan then jumped upon Nc
Logan, accused him OF ceiling himself TO
the Democrats for S5 day as an employe
in the Election COMMISSIONER office and
made other unpleasant charges. McLogan
shouted that the Central Labor Union
had insulted the American flag and was
greeted with storm Of Kisses and groans.

Great excitement epsuod for about five
minutes, during which time delegates
arose, yelled, hiIsed, atormed, waved hats,
umbrellas or whatever else was convenl-
ent. The chairman in vain kept up On
inCesssnt rspping for order. Powers con-
tinued, and said II the Central Labor Union
was admitted tho conservatives would
withdraw. Finally, after much turmoil,
the question OF admitting the delegates
was put and the Socialists won by large
