PEcULIARITIEs IN MASSAGE,
The Differences of Temperature Caused by
Friction of the Skin.

The Differences of Temperature Caused by
Friction of the Skin.
Light friction of part reduces sur
face temperature, says the New York
Ledger. In ten experiments on
healthy adults, whose arm-pit tenn
peratures on both sides was equal, and
whose free temperature on the surfac e
of both forearms was before massage
eighty-eight degrees Fahrenheit or
more, it was found, on subjecting the
left forearm to gentle upward friction,
that, whilst the temperature in both
armpits and in the untouched free sur
face of the opposite limb remained
constant, the temperature of the left
forearm fell in all cases more than
two degrees, and in three cases nearly
four degrees. After firm friction,
rolling. squeezing and kneading of the
skin of the limb in all cases, the free
cutaneous temperature rose to ninety
five degrees: but the armpit tempera-
ture remained the same on both sides,
whilst in seven cases an interesting
phenomenon was noticed on the oppo-
site side-viz., the right limb sensibly
perSpired and the free surface tenn
perature of the untouched forearm fell
to eighty-four degrees during the time
that the firm friction of the left limb
was in progress. In regard to light
friction, it has been impossible to de-
tect any effect Oh the patients sense of
locality or on the temperature sense.
After firm friction of part for five
minutes comes a decided increase OF
the sense of touch. and the sense of 10
cality has, in most instances, been ap-
parentlV improved

The young Idea.

The reasoning of children is fre-
quently based on imperfect knowledge.
What on earth was that whistle blow
ing for all night?" asked a girl of
twelve years of her mother while on
sound steamer. 'sThat is fog horn,
my dear" was the reply. The little
girl, of course, wanted to know what a
fog horn. was, and her mother ex-
planned that when there was a heavy
fog the steam whistle was blown while
it lasted. But why?H persisted the
young inquirer 81 should think that
anybody could see there was fog, and
what is the use of blowing whistle
to tell them about it, when there it is
if they want to look at it?' The poor
mother sighed and gave it up.

Mr.. Crosby astounded the spirit world
by the query: rs the spirit of Preston

There was no reply and the question
was repeated. Then there were some
hesitating raps at the table, but it
answer was in the affirmative or the
negative.
